In several cities in Ohio ncwspa-
pers Of opposite politics or of divergent
opinions about matters generally, have
dropped the issue long enough to
abuse each other. There was once the
notion that the man in charge Of
newspaper went to press instead of
sending his paper to press. This no.
tion was brought about by the fact
that the fellow running it really
thought he and not the paper, was the
paper, and the public, to limited ex.
tent, subscribed for the smattering Of
news stuff that was in 1t, which put
he and not the smattering to which a
few people were subscribing. The re-
suit was that with many editors, there
was much adulation as to self that
ought better to have been employed
in the direction of discovering what
some others were doing, why they
were doing it, to what extent and with
what effect. Fortunately there mas
been an elimination of that very dis
agreeable feature in well conducted
plants, and the modern newspaper may
take issue with the opinion that an
other newspaper expresses, but the
| fellow that expresses it is not the issue
he may take.
Note the increase in the number Of
persons that habitually read a news
paper compared to the number that
read it while ago. In given proper
tion to population the increase is ten to
one. Why? Because the modern
newspaper is talking more news and
less something else; because it is
standing on its own bottom; because
of its merit and the fact that itself is

If "cutrate" people, as they are
referred to by the trust, can afford to
sell goods at cut rates why can't the
trust afford to sell them at the same
rate? One way to compete with cut

Will trust advocates agree to do SO?
Or will they keep up the prices so
that the consumer bears the burden?

In these days we never worried much
about christenlngs and such In Texas.
We simply slapped name on q kid
and II minister happened along we
had him 60 through the regular form;
II not, We let 1t 60 at that and the kid
never knew the difference. This vii.
son. however, was strong on religion.
though reckon he didn't know so very
much about It. and when his pretty lit
tie wife presented him with son he
set about to have the child regularly
branded by some one In authority.
There was not minister within ne
gotIable distance, and so he brought
the child, accompanied by Its mother
and the intended sponsors, to our JUS
tce Of the peace and asked him to per-
form the ceremony. Now, old "Blll"
