Ditto! Ditto!

Some of our newspaper brethren are
getting extremely conscientious. Last
week one of them said, in reference to
contemporary who had taken out all
its saloon advertisements in order that
it might attack the liquor interests:
IA newspaper cannot consistently point
out the wrong doing of any business or
corporation while benefiting by and
expecting their patronage"
This brand of piety makes us extreme
ly weary, and if followed out. would
either bankrupt every newspaper in
the country or make them all the sickly
tools of various interests. A news
paper has space to sell and through this
source it derives the bulk of its income.
1t is under no obligation whatever to
endorse what any dealer has to say in
the space he has bought. A newspaper
sells its space simply as business
proposition and not for the purpose of
boosting the business which buys the
space. 1t is up to the dealer to do his
own boosting in the space he has bought
for that purpose. With the consistency
of our contemporary, a temperate
grocer could not talk against the saloon
because certain boozers patronize him;
religious liveryman would refuse to
rent team TO an in.idel, because that
would assist the infidel to attain his
ends, and Baptist butcher could not
talk his own doctrine because certain
Methodist brethren buy their meat of
him. There is no difference whatever
in these propositions and that advanced
by our highly conscientious contcm-
porary. We note that the paper in
question is running patent medicine ads
without fear or favor. Wonder if the
editor endorses the contents Of these
advertisements. If he were questioned
about the matter, he would state that
the medicine firms had bought the
space and could say what ever they
desired to in that space. Newspaper
men on the average are as pious as the
members of any other trade, but they
are no more so. Not by jug full. Do
the newspapers which refuse saloon
advertisements do 30 because their con-
science won't permit them to accept
the dealers money and allow him to
boost his business through the columns
Of their paper? No. Three out Of four
newspapers which refuse this patronage
do SO because they fear that by accept
ing this business they will lose other
patronage which is more valuable.
We would like for our pious contempor-
aries to smoke this statement in their
pipes, and we will also ask them to
deny it II they wish. You will note
that the Criterion carries no saloon
advertisements

When you open can Of condensed

don't you open any?.
We were some what surprised the
other day when unable to find the word
"nimrod" in any Of the standard
dictionaries. 1t is used by nearly all
newspapers and commonly applied to
those who are addicted to fishing. Why
the word has been overlooked by the
linguist is remarkable, its common use.
even II somewhat "slangy, " making it
legitimate word.
The Hotchkiss Times is q little hard
on former Editor Hopkins in the last
issue which came to our tables. In no
uncertain manner is Hopkins accused
of being addicted to the use of the frey
liquid. In justice we must say that
during out sojourn in Delta Mr. Hopkins
did not appear as deserving such
remark. An occasional overstepping
cannot be treated as habitual.
The agitation between Brother
Frederick and Oliver. both. Of Paonia,
akent the connection Of the Cooperative
telephone lines with the foreign COM
pany, is still waging and from perusals Of
the remarks printed it is impossible to
say who puts forward the most convinc-
ing argument. One fact is apparent,
however. and that is the utter disregard
Frederick has for what Oliver has TO
say. But then, Oliver is used to such
treatment.
Miss Hardin. who said marriage was
an incident" in the life of women to
day, has called forth much comment but
am, ng the many editorials which have
come to notice, the following extract
from the Ouray Plaindealer in regard
to Denver Post correspondence ideas
on women today, is all truth and may
be well used as an admonition by all OF
the gentler sex. The extract follows:
"If the lady correspondent got her
knee pinched ut dinner. it is dollars to
doughnnts that she made some break
which invited the familiarity, for our
experience in this world has taught Us
to believe that the woman with the
sign out is the one that gets what she
is looking for and that the woman who
behaves herself and ma intains certain
and judicious amount Of womanly re-
serve and dignity is not bothered or
troubled" Hulaniski never sized up .
situation more clearly or hit the nail
more squarely on the head. The woman
who has the desire to be respected can
easily gain her end and the woman who
"does not care" can just as easily at.
tain the disrespece Platonic love offers
many avenues Of low morals and TO be
q good fellow" Is hard to manage
without loss Of dignity and reserve. yet
too many women today are trying this
sort Of an existence with such excuses
as conscience easers.
