The quarrel between the Spokane
Review and Post Intelligencer OF
Seattle, over the subject of the inter
ests of the Northern Securities Com
pany's big railway combine reminds
one OF Don Quixotte's BATTLE of the
Windmills" and an illustration OF the
adage "when thieves fall out honest
men get their dues" The subject is
an important one, but whist, men,
lose not the quarrel in the contin-
uous venting Of surcharged ire if you
value its escape.

RITzvILLE. DECEMBER IS, 1901.
DO YOUR TRADING AT HOME.

Why is it that some people persist
in sending to a mail order house for a
greater Fart of their purchases?
Often they know nothing concerning
the house except some advertisement
seen in second-rate magazine issued
for the advertising accruing to fakes
and quacks. 1t may be they have
catalogued before them an array Of
prices astonishingly low, but what as
surance have they of the quality Of
the goods or that their money order
will receive any returns whatever?
Often the assertions made by the
free ad. Offering free goods" people
are rank impositions and should be
prohibited by the postal authorities.
Our home merchants should say to
those who patronize these firms: "No,
take your butter and eggs and other
produce to your mail order firms; and
next time you want bill of goods on
credit you can select from your cata-
logue and ship your eggs to pay for
them"
Patronize your home merchants,
your he me doctor, home paper and
home manufacturers. By SO doing
you put your money in circulation
here and thus help to build up the
town and community. The home
merchant pays rent and taxes and
hires clerks who spend their money
here. What does the mail order
house pay out here? The home doc
tor is not quack. He depends upon
his success to build up his business.
He spends his money made in your
town for living expenses and local i'm.
provements. The home paper gives
local news and promotes home inter-
ests and enterprises. The home manu-.
facturer must do good work at rea.
sonable prices to succeed. He dare
not slight his work. If he makes a
wagon, a set Of harness or a piece OIL
furniture, he employs your neighbor
and pays him money which your
neighbor pays you. What do your
mail order houses ever pay out that in
any way benefits you, your neighbor
town or community?
Thus we might give examples with.
out number, but surely any fail
minded person will realize the worse
than folly of patronizing these mail
order octupuses. Trade at home, pat.
ronize home industry in every way
possible, and you will not only help to
make your town prosper, but you will
share in the prosperity as we'll.
Ritzville has up-to-date merchants
who handle high grade goods at as
reasonable prices as any town in the
state, and if you cannot find what
you want here it will be secured TO,
you in short order and at salts.

Never anticipate trouble but cult
vate those qualities necessary for its
rapid removal when it does appear.
Worry has robbed more brilliant
minds of their stamina and force than
all other things combined. The in
tuence OF mind over matter cannot be
eradicated and the only safeguard OF
premature gray hairs and despair is
immobility to lesser influences which
when pondered over appear so aggra.
waiting.

Adams County news. [volume] (Ritzville, Wash.) 1898-1906, 1901-12-18

A man told us the other day that
we did not publish all the things that
happen. We should say we don't. In
the first place, we have others who de-
pend on us for a living. If we pub
lished all that happens we should
soon be with the angels and there
would be one more widow and several
half orphans in Ritzville. In order to
please people we must print only nice
things about them and leave the rest
to the gossips; no, we don't print all
the news. If we did wouldn't it make
spicy reading? The next week you
would read our obituary, and there
would be strange face in heaven. 1t
is a common thing to hear newspaper
men darby limiting that if they pub.
lished all they knew it would create a
sensation. But the fact OF the matter
is that the average newspaper pub
Usher prints about all he knows. OF
course, editors hear many rumors and
hints, but how many of them know
for sure anything that would cause a
great commotion If published? News
is one thing, rumor is another. But
perhaps it makes the dear public look
upon the editor as wonderful fount
OF knowledge to have him hint darkly
at knowing things that would make
Rome howl if printed. If you know
it, and it is news, print it. Gossip is
not news, however, and scandal is not
a matter for publication in a decent
newspaper.
