Cooperation With and Appreciation
Of the Press.

In conscientious interest of the press
in general and the upward and forward
moving papers of the day in particular,
1 cannot say too much. Press work or
journalism is the greatest opening for
ability and for progressive, far-reaching
good. Truly through this medium, have
wca guardian of free Speech" which,
we are told by a writer deeply sympa-
thetic with the press, "is the first and
most important of all requisites of true
manhood and real civilization" In a
thousand ways is this field of labor bene-
ficial to capable men and women, es-
pecially those whose early opportunities
were few.
Application is the price we have to pay
for mental acquisitions, if it is not prac-
ticablc to have school training, find it in
the printing office. Several years close
application to the press viii give one a
clear conception of the groundwork on
which our language is built. But step
farther. What is the fearless press worth
to our nations Could we be free without
it? Is there any agent, not excepting the
pulpit, so dreaded by the perpetrators of
crime as brave press? The pen of a
keen sighted, intelligent, conscientious
individual, occupying the honored edi-
torial chair, wields an influence, the
power of which may terminate only with
the vanishing years.
Realizing that great portion of the
world, especially those in the busy walks
of life, read only newspaper literature for
their general information, how important
it is to afford them wholesome reading
matter! But to have this without hearty
cooperation of the people, is as impossi-
BILE as to expect harvest where no seeds
have been sown. In the history of every
paper, and I allude to country papers
principally, arises disposition among
its business subscribers to withhold their
advertisements from its columns, prompt
ed dare say by either selfshness, econ
omy or an inability to weigh the worth
they can derive in a pecuniary and intel
lectual way.
Every dollar expended on a paper
strengthens it and can one boast loyalty
to their county's interest while they help
to dwarf their county paper?
I heard a man say with great equilib-
rum of conscience, apparently, that he
paid his subscription and "the editor
must do the rest" The editors bed is
not one of roses. feel as sorry for him
as do the preacher, for one is expected
to get up first class paper unaided and
the other to preach souls who have lived
in sin to heaven.
Let us take another step. Do we have
the proper estimate of the good We can
derive by familiarizing ourselves with
the pom in connection with the press?
Do we realize fully that nothing is so
conducive to clear thinking, concise to-
the-point word painting as writing for
the press? Why is it there exists reluc-
tance to write up locals and bring our
towns into notice? Afraid of helping the
editor or have We no interest in our
paper?
| would fain say more for my heart is
filled with desire to see the constant
and upbuilding of our
papers.
With the busy workings Of Cupid and
the grip around us, there is always some
thing to send to the local column; let 'em
roll! NJ. o. LANlER

: These "me too" newspapers and politi-
clans are amusing. When some one of
their kind gets position for friend it
is great political influence. When Nc
Laurin gets a place for a friend, he is
turning Republican. The trouble is that
McLaurin is not rewarding the political
hacks of this State. And why should he?
They have always been opposed to him
for the reason that he had too much
sense to be controlled by them.

it is for our people to be the allies of pro-

WHAT THE MCKINLEY VOTERS FEARED.
1t was not the pure type of Southern
Democracy that the balance of the coun-
try feared in the last presidential election.
They knew that properly interpreted this
was conservative and safe. 1t was well
understood, however, what influences
dominated, and that, therefore, the south
in national affairs was still powerlcss.
One doubtful northern State had then
and has now more influence than the en-
tire south combined. One party says,
Why should l consult you, | can hope
for nothing The other says, I've got
YOU any way, and l will do as please;
help yourself if you can.
What a position for 4 brave, high-spirit-
ed people bound hand and foot, the mis-
erable slaves of one party and Il football
for the other.
I, for one, do not believe that the peo-
pie of the south are ready to trust this
government into the hands of any party
to begin the leveling process through the
exercise of the taxing power; and yet this
is exactly what this new propaganda
means, and outside of the south it is pro-
claimed by the very same class who
preach and practice social equality be-
tween the races. The two dogmas are
inseparably interviewer. Go into the
west, attend one of their campaign meet

lation. and not to find 4 market for our
surplus is to invite stagnation and decay.
The most striking feature in our ex
port development is the remarkable and
constantly increasing demand for our
iron and steel. Within six years we have
advanced to the position where American
iron and steel enters into the construction
of every bridge and railroad in the world
or fixes the prices therefor.
