WHAT WE INTEND TO De.

Interstate News. the new manage
ment feels that it ia but fair to give
some statement as to future policy
The Teller, as it will be known In
few weeks, will have but one policy pri-
marily. That will be to boost. Every
thing and every movement that will
have tendency to build UP the com
munity represented by the Teller will
be given all the support the Teller
can give it. ~ 4@
In the printing Of news. the Teller
means to be fearless. Anything that
IL Of public 1ntereatlmay be looked for
In our columns. BY this we do not
mean that the Teller will pry into the
private affairs Of any man. family or
business concern. By saying we will
be fearless we do not mean we will be
aggressive. It will never be our policy
to deal in personal abuse or abuse of
any kind. for that1matter. We simply
mean that happenings or transactions
OF public concern will be published
without color or bias.
All news accounts or editorial COM
ment which win be made by the Tel
Ter will be based on facts. The man.
agement will eschew the publication OF
harmful rumors, but facts of publi1
concern shall not be smothered. They
will be printed There shall be malice
toward none. and unjust favors to no
one.
While newspaper cannot become
a success unless conducted along
strictly business lines the best inter-
ests Of its patrons and that of the city
and community in general must be
considered at all times. and the efforts
Of the paper directed along such lines
as will insure healthy moral cOndi-
ton In AFFAIRS civic and political.
No one will be favored by the Tel
Ter. 4 II the public acts Of any man or
concern are Of such q nature that they
cannot be parAded before the public,
the only remedy WIN be to keep them
; from the ears Of the Teller, for we
promise that the Teller's small corps
81 news gatherers will always be awake
and ready to follow up the smallest
news tip. f.ss'
The Teller means to be open and
frank. with its readers and advertisers.
