In speaking of the what's a news
paper does for its community, U. S.
Senator David Davis. made a talk
that should flourish as the green bay
treo in the memories of newspaper
men. This is some of IT:
Every year every local paper
gives from 80 to 5000 free lines for
the benefit of the community in
which it is located. No other agei cy
can or will do this. The editor in
proportion to his means does more
for his own town than any other
man. He ought to be supported not
because you happen to like him o.
admire his writing the best. but Ye-
cause a local paper is the best invest
ment community can make. y

Those interested in thesorigin OF
the word vote, will do well to read
this explanation which we find a
waif upon the journalistic rounds:
Vote is word with a curious
history. To the Roman 'votum
was solemn promise made to de-
ity. From the solemn PROMISE itself
the meaning of 'votum gradually
became the prayer or int4nse wish
that accompanied the proAise, and
then any intense wish whatever. Sc
far the development proceeded in
Latin and vote" passed ipto Eng
hsh with the same sense. When Ben
Johnson wrote of public votes tc
heaven he meant not mass meeting
resolutions, but prayers. FINALLY
vote acquired its present pheanine
the formal and emphatic sexpres-
sion of wish; while the only sense
remains with its doublet vow.
