The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1900-06-15
FRIDAY, JUNE Is, 1900.
ABOUT 1t is customary for a new as
THE pirant for public favor in the
REF neucpa nor field tn make known

- N--O
BEE. newspaper field to make known,
in it's first issue, its business and politi-
cal policy. The custom is good one.
1t avoids the possibility of future mis-
understandings. 1t clears up doubts
and disposes of conjectures made in ad-
vance of publication. 1t lets the people
know what to expect and enables them
to judge of the propriety or policy of
extending moral or financial encourage
ment
The Bee will be, first of all, a news
paper. 1t expects to give the people of
northwestern Montana more and fresher
news for the price asked than they have
ever had before. 1t will give reports of
matters of public interest without fear
or favor. 1t will have a special tele-
graphic service which will give it's sub
scribers more or less detailed account
of the news of the world before it is an
cient history. AS fast as arrangements
can be made the Bee will have CORE
spondents in every part of the county
who will be expected to do full justice
to the various sections they represent
The magnificent resources of this county
will be properly portrayed. The bust
ness interests of every town in the county
will receive just treatment. In short,
the Kalispell Bee will endeavor to give
full value for everything it gets, and
when it fails to do this it will not expect
the patronage of people who look to get
value for what they pay out If our
patrons appreciate this sort of business
policy the Bee will prosper, and as it
prospers the people may expect a better
newspaper more news and fresher news.
The Bee has been started with the pur-
pose of going ahead, not of standing still.
1t will give its readers such newspaper
as they are willing to pay for, but it is
not in position to give something for
nothing In this Office will be found a
printing plant equal to that of any coun-
try newspaper in Montana. The presses
and material are new and up to date.
Call in and see them. If you know any
thing about printing plants it will do
you good to look over this outfit.
Politically the Bee will be democratic,
because it believes that through the
democratic party the greater good to the
greatest number can be achieved, but it
will at the same time treat with due re-
spect the opinions of those who differ
from it on political issues.
Concerning what is known as the
Clark DAILY fight, the Bee desires to state
its position frankly and honestly, with
out evasion or equivocation, believing
that such statement will be apprc-
ciatcd. The Beo is opposed to all fac
tional fights within the democratic party
and believes that it is time for democrats
to unite upon candidates that all fac
tions can support. AS this can be done
only by dropping those who in the past
have been persistent Office seekers, the
Bee will oppose the candidacy of w. A.
Clark. His ambition to be United States
senator is at present the only cause of
division in the democratic ranks and his
methods have already brought sufficient
disgrace upon this state without asking
the democratic party to shoulder the
additional disgrace of endorsing those
methods. The democratic party in this
state should not be destroyed to crafty
the personal ambition or hatred of w. A.
Clark or of any other individual
The Bee understands that this posi-
ton will incur the censure of the parti-
sans of Mr.. Clark and that they will
hasten to call the Bee DAILY organ"
just as they called the late republican
state convention "Daly convention"
because it condemned those who had
accepted Mr.. Clark's brides.
If they are right, and newspaper
that opposes such political methods as
have been proved beyond all question
against w. A. Clark is "Daly organ"
then the Bee is willing to accept the
designation and glory in the name.
With this explanation of its aims and
purposes the Bee rests it's case. Here
