GIVING VALUE RECEIVED.

The complaint is continually
made at this office that because
the Booster makes a dollar per
year subscription price we should
follow suit. If readers will but
compare the two papers with ref
erence to the amount OF reading
matter in each they will readily
see that the dollar rate is really
the dear one. THE NEWSPAPER
pays out more money for news
gathering. more for composition
and spends more of its EDITORS
time in the editorial chair than
both its contemporaries. We are
aiming to give value received for
the money we collect. A paper
to be of value to the community
should be as good as it possibly
can be. THE NEWSPAPER is rec
ognized as the best and ought to
be able to secure the best price for
its product.

every branch of substantial knowl-


edge. Such newspaper may aP-
peal to the unthinkIug and it may
win circulation among the mas
ses of readers to which it makes
its appeal. But it cannot possibly
gain the approval or confidence
of tie thoughtful readers with
whom rests the decision upon
all public events.
The really strong and inflaen-
tial newspaper is not the one that
has no political convictions, but
it is the one that is so loyal to its
principles that it will not tolerate
"a violation of them even by the
leaders of its own party. ~
The influential newspaper is the
one that puts public welfare above
party advantage, and never hesi
tates to commend faithful and hon
est public service among S op-
ponents, as it never hesitates to
denounce trickery and dishonesty
among its own party associates.
The influential newspaper is
one that is bound to no master,
and is influenced solely by its de-
sire to serve the public good and
to promote the public interests.
This is the best type of newspaper,
and there were never before so
many of this type as there are in
the United States today.

THE Palisades Tribune goes off
its trolley because one Rice came
up from the Junction and bought
chips in their town election. Mr..
Rice SO far forgot him: elf as to
throw some dornicks at the Tri-

that if he comes to town again he
should be egged. Its a mistake.
A nice clean paper like the Tri-

SOURCE OF NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE.

Inarecent number of TIL, Editor
and Publisher, trade and protes-
sional journal of some prominence,
is the following article which well
expresses the general sentiment
upon a matter of current public
importance:
There is lot to think about
in the address of Thomas P. Peters
on party newspapers. Most news
paper men will agree with Mr..
Peters that the day of the Politi-
cal organ is past. People are no
longer fond of throwing up their
hats every time the name of their
party is mentioned. or of reading
long articles of fulsome praise of
leaders unworthy of the name.
They are apt to be concerned
more with what the other. side is
about and with considering
whether their own men are doing
the best that is in them.
ut is good point, that of a
newspaper being at its best when
it is criticising its own party.
Many of the strongest papers
still have their political convic-
tions. but they are no longer SER
vile followers or believers that
the king can do no wrong. They
cannot afford to be. They must
blaze paths that are wholly new.
There is too much bad in the best
of parties and too much good in
the worst of them for the news
papers to go on in blind faith
that their own political leaders
are always right. The newspapers
themselves have educated their
readers to know better. and now
it devolves upon them to keep
the public informed of the lapses
in their own party ranks quite as
much as those in the ranks of the
enemy.
Recent elections have shown a
startling breaking away from old
traditions and a disposition on
the part of the voters to think for
themselves. The newspapers
could not stem this tide of inde-
pendence even if they would.
They can only lead where the
hosts are willing to follow. Every
now and then some old hide bound
organ, that was power before
the present active political muta-
tion set in, drops out of the run
ming and is heard of no more.
Those with foresight are needing
the handwriting on the wall and
are facing about while there yet
is time"

types of the species may still sur

A squire at his elbow bore high the banner OF the
bleeding head. Behind the spear1nen were line
of heavily laden mules, and either side OF them
a drove of poor country folk who were being herdcd
into the castle. Lastly came a second strong
troop of mounted spearmen, who conducted a
score or more of prisoners who marched together
in a solid body.
Nigel stared at them, and them sprnging on his
horse he urged it along the shelter of the ridge
as to reach unseen spot which was close to the
castle gate. He had scarce taken up his
position when the cavalcade reached the draw
bridge, and amid yells of welcome from those upon
the wall, filed in thin line across it. Nigel stared
hard once more at the prisoners in the rear and
absorbed was he by the sight that he had passed the
rocks and standing sheer upon the summit.

may not be said he. The last words that Sir
Robert said to me were that l was to bring you to
his side, for he would have speech with you. Would
that | could do what you ask, for | also have fair
lady to whom l would fain send you'll What use are
YOU to me, Raoul, since l have gained no honor in

The young Frenchman had risen to his feet. Do
not take my sword, he said. 4 yours, rescue
or no rescue. l think that I could mount my
horse, though indeed my head still rings like
cracked bell
Nigel had lost all traces of his comrades; but he
remembered Sir Roberts words that he should ride
upon the SUM- with the certainty that sooner later
he would strike upon the road. As they logged
slowly along undulating hills the Frenchman
shook off his hunt and the two chatted merrily
together
I had but just come from France, said he and
had hoped to win honor in this country, for have
ever heard that the English very hardy men

me with desire to go further with you 1t is in my
mind that might turn this thing to profit and to
honor, for when Sir Robert has spoken with you I
am free to do with you as | will"
And what will you do, Nigel"
We shall surely try some small deed upon each
other so that either l shall the Lady Beatrice
or you the Lady Mary. Nay, thank not for
like yourself | have come to this country in search
of honor and | know not where | may better find
it than at the end of your sword-pont. My good
lord and master, Sir John Chandos has told me
many times that yet did he meet French
knight squire that he did not find great pleasure
and profit from their company, and l very
clearly that he has spoken the truth
For hour these two friends rode together, the
Frenchman pouring forth the praises of his lady,
garter from his vest and her shoe from his saddle
bag. She blond, and when he heard that Mary
was dark, he would fain stop then and there to
fight the question of color He talked too of his
great chateau at Lauta, by the headwaters of the
pleasant Garonne; of the hundred horses in the
stables the seventy hounds in the kennels, the
fifty hawks in the news His English friend
should there when the were over, and
what golden days would be theirs! Nigel too,
with his English GOODNESS thawng before this young
sunbeam of the South, found himself talking of
the heather slopes of Surrey, of the forest of
Woolner, even OF the sacred chambers of Cos
ford
But they rode onward toward the sinking sun,
their thoughts far away in their distant homes,
their horses strdng together there came that which
brought their minds back instant to the perilous
hilsides of Brittany.
1t was the long blast of a trumpet blown from
somewhere on the farther side of ridge toward

which they were riding. A second 1ong-drawn note
from distance answered it.
1T is your camp, said the Frenchman.
Nay said Nigel; we have pipes with us and
a maker or two, but l have heard no trumpet-call
from our ranks. 1t behooves us to take heed, for
we know not what may be before us, Ride this way,
I pray you that we may look and yet be our
selves unseen.
Some scattered boulders crowned the height, and
from behind them the two young Squ;res could see
the long rocky valley beyond. Upon a knoll was
small square building with a battement vound it.
Some distance from it lowered great dark castle,
as massive as the rocks on which it stood, with one
strong keep at the corner and four long lines of
machicolated walls. Above great banner flew
proudly in the wind with some device which glowed

But even as they watched, the trumpet-call burst
forth once more. 1t came not from the castle
but from the farther end of the valley. 1t was
answered by a second call from the walls Then in
long struggling line there a wild troop of
marauders streaming homeward from some foray.
In the van at the head of a body of spearmen rode
a tall and bury man, clad in brazen armor, SO that
he shone like golden image in the slanting rays
of the sun. His helmet had been loosened from
his gorget and held before him his horse S
neck. A great tangled beard flowed over his
breastpate, and his hair hung down as far behind.

looked round and saw the cleaning figure above
him upon the hill, with open helmet and the five
roses glowing upon his breast. With a sweep of his
hands he had thrust his guardians aside and for a
moment was clear of the throng.
Squire Loring! Squire Loring!' he cried. :" 1t
