Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1904-01-20

Last week the Index contained 131
local news items and nearly three
columns of editorial matter. The ''best
newspaper in the county" published by
the ''smartest editor In the county"
had One-third of a column of editorial
matter and had SO local news items.
Of these SO were copied from the Index
and % from other papers, leaving SO
original items. This does not include
its immense list of news items" about
its household remedies but it includes
everything that can be classed as news.
There are some people who cannot
distinguish between news and Stiffness
and gossip. For instance. the Index
might say in every issue that "Otis
Lorton visited the drug store on Mon
day." then report it for tho other six
days in the week, but that wouldn't be
news. We could record the fact that
numerous neighbors visit each other
every day in the week and thus fill q
paper as large as horse blanket with
two and three liners from week to week
but that wouldn't be news. Every day
occurrences are not news. The Index
is not the "best" paper on earth and It's
editors do not pose as the ''smartest in
the countyo but the fact remains that
1t always contains the news in it's
territory before any other paper con-.
tains it and exercises little judgment
in what it prints as news. It also sets
from one to three columns more type
every week than the '.best newspaper,
published by the smartest editor, and
that tells the story better than all the
boasting we could do. If figures had
never been invented the 'smartest
editors" Dragging might be received
with little more favor.
