newspaper that checks or balances
Its city contemporary. 1t is The
country newspaper that finds its
way to the remote mountain hamlet,
and is read by every reading member
of the backwoods family by the
light of a pine-knot fire. 1t is the
country newspaper that leads the
mountaineer farmer to town TO vote
for John Smith for governor, be-
cause he saw the latter was the
champion of the country editor. He
saw it in the county paper--in print
and it must be sill right. lie has
never yet been fooled or led astray
by his county paper; his confidence
therein is unshaken. And right here
is the secret to success in country
newspaper work."
