The Mission of the Local Paper

The following from paper read re-
Gently by the publisher of the Adrian,
(dich.) Telegram, is a fair statement of
what a newspaper is for;
81 believe in the public press. l be
lieve, as a rule, no other institution, no
other individual or organization does
one half so much for the public without
money and without price as the modern
newspaper. There are many who do not
realize the real situation. They look on
the public press as a servant. subject to
the beck and call of any one who wishes
to use it.
eff the press were to listen to all the
demands upon it, it would climb the
mountain of progress feet first and come
tumbling down end over end. 1t would
be compelled to make the impossible
possible. During hot political times the
radical Republicans would have it wipe
Democracy off the face of the earth.
The radical Democrat would want it to
open the gates of perdition and kick all
the Republicans in. The saloonist
would want the prohibitionist toasted to
finish each issue. The prohibitionist
would want it to lombard the saloon
with fuse and Calling gun twenty
four hours in a day, seven days in the
week.
every man who has grievance
against neighbor wants that neighbor
ripped up the back to beat the band
John Smith will climb seventeen. flights
of stairs to get the press to give Bill
Jones few hot blasts of what may be
expected in the future if he doesn't
mend his ways. Next day the same
John Smith would climb back seventeen
stories higher, if there were that many,
to keep out of the paper the story that
he had been fined for drunkenness and
paid So and costs for his folly.
in other words, great many people
do not realize the mission of a news
paper. They seem to feel that it is a
flaming sword to protect them and a
spiked club to combat their enemies.

sense it is the servant of the public. In
another sense it is a business enterprise.
A man buys newspaper business just
as you buy a farm. He prints papers to
sell just as you raise hogs, cattle, sheep,
corn, oats or turnips. There is no more
reason why he ishould give away his
substance than that you should give
away yours.
but you can never know how hard
it is until you go through the treadmill
What slush we sometimes publish
golden wedding poetry that isn't even
passable doggerel; verses about those
departed, written by friends, that con.
tain neither rhyme, sense nor sentiment;
sickly obituaries three weeks old! But
there is mothers tears entwined about
the so-called verses or the obituary, and
the case ceases to be question of intelli-
gence. 1t is matter of heart, matter
of feeling, and when you find an editor

Spring Medicine

There is no other season when good
medicine is SO much needed as in the
Spring.
The blood is impure, weak and
impoverished-a condition indicated
by pimples and other eruptions on the
face and body, by deficient vitality,
loss of appetite, lack of strength, and
want of animation.

recognized as quite a veteran among

for several years he has been devoting
himself more to horse sales than actual

The new Year Book, Vol. NIX, is out.
and is being severely criticized. 1t has
1926 pages less than its predecessor, and
this is due to the elimination of features
which are among the most valuable in
in previous publication 50 pages devoted
to tables of $50 trotters and 2.25 PAGERS
whose records were made prior to 1908
have been stricken out, the result being
that VOL XVIII must be consulted for a
reference to any performers of the past.
Under sires in the Great Table, and
dams in the Great Brood Mare table, only
performers who made their records last

to damage the sale of the book, each
