well knowing what the conclusion OF
such suit would be. This thing of
exploiting the reporter is too cheap.
What the people want Is the news.
They are not interested in how the
reporter got 1t. The fact that he got
1t and 1t is spread before them is quite
sufficient.
A rerverse fate has overtaken that
prehistoric publication, the Lisbon Pa
triot. Brushing the moss off the copy
of the paper that comes into this Office
as an exchange q day or two since, II
was discovered that the Patriot editor
did not favor rural delivery because
people would not have to come to town
for their mail and they might not come
at all. Facilitating business with the
wealthy farmers in the county did not
occur to the Patriot man as desirable.
Now Congressman Tayler, of the same
town. has secured for that section of
Columbiana county, the longest rural
mail route in the United States. This is
rubbing it into old fogyism most pain.

There is nothing about Labor day
that suggests anything warlike, yet the
dedication of the Spanish mortar on
that day will not be out of place. In
large measure, it is the fellows with
a pull and purse to back 1t that get
the appointments to commanding posi-
tions in time of war, but the real fight
ing is done by the man from the ranks
of the people-the man who tolls for
his sustenance and who believes in
honest labor in time of peace. SO, on
Labor day, he may digress from his
customary peace pursuits to aid in the
dedication of an instrument of war the
capture of which the Drawn of his ilk
made possible. This dedication will
not be yellow sash affair. II will be
under the supervision Of members of
labor organizations. The Simpsons
will take their places in the rear and
the Morgans will take the head of the |
procession. The time that is to inter- |
vene will give ample opportunity for
preparation and the celebration can
be made a splendid success, rejecting
credit alike on the labor organizations
and on the council committee that
selected the date.

There is a project on now, in Re
publican circles, to eliminate the name
Of the county and just call the whole
thing Massillon. This would simplify
primaries and elections, as 1t is the
purpose to divide the county up into
wards and precincts. Each ward will
have it's number and each precinct it's
letter. Instead Of having to write
'Tuscarawas township, East Greenville
precinct" or Sugar Creek township,
Beach City precinct" less circuitous
route will be taken and it will be nee
essary to write simply, IA, A." or
"57, c." as the case may be. 1t will
also save monotonous repetition of To-
cality after the name of each candidate
and nominee for infrmary director,

not seem SO lonesome in the line up.
The plan is suggested by the result
of Saturdays primaries.
