Are We to Push Ahead?

Have YOU thought on this subject late
ly? Have you kept it in mind this sum-
mer? Are you willing to cooperate IN
anv measure to make our section of
country greater?
Rusk county is a new county. She is
to be a great county. Her need IS
opportunity the cooperation OF IN
dustry with the natural opportunities
that prevail.
The most essential need is publicity
to let the outside world know of the
advantages we possess. What have
YOU done in this matter.
It is the inclination to leave all this
to the land men. Is that fair, is it
contamination Of your own interests?
Take the average merchant for IL
lustration. Every time new settler
comes to the neighborhood trade in
creases. the merchant gains. The land
man makes profit on the sale-then
he is done. But the average merchant
makes as much every year as the land
man does on the sale to the average
actual settler. We are not speaking
now of the speculative buyer-but the
actual settler who buys in small tracts
and usually has a large family to sup
port.
The professional man comes in the
same category of beneficiaries. The
newspaper is not to be omitted. Have
we pushed on the wheel of progress?
Have we done what we could to build
up actual settlement? Is it too late to
begin? Or is there no way?
Why not get together on this subject
and devise ways and means for the
contamination Of such purpose?
All Rusk county wants is more set
tiers. When that is accomplished her
greatness is secure. What is wanted is
talk, talk, talk and then some more. In
these days Of advertising sound COM
mon sense talk counts.
Why not e under action? Why not
be active and aggressive? Why not
have purpose and accomplish it.

Special Advocate Again.

AS special advocate, either engaged
or self imposed, the Tony Enterprise
SAYS of True in the criminal libel action
now pending against him, that "appar-
emily he is very anxious to get into
court where he says he will prove
every charge he has made. !"
The News anticipates that the special
advocacy is assumed, for Mr.. True
ought to know that the newspapers
are not the place to try his case and
that such appeals to prejudice as the
above are injurious. If Mr.. True is
anxious to get into court, he had the
right to an immediate hearing instead
of putting it off as long as possible.
The December term comes AFTER the
November elections.
With this correction of wrong I'M
preston the News suggests that these
cases would better be tried in the courts
than in the newspapers.

Covert Coat,

A covert coat is always a covert coat
and provided it is made of good ma
tcrjal and by good tailor it is always
accepted as a smart garment for Ger
tain uses. The old model with fitted
back and straight fly front holds its
own, and though the ready made mod
els strain after originality by adding
odd strappings and peculiarities of CIT
the best tailors counsel absolute sever
ity in such a coat, the cut and finish
alone being trusted to give the ueces-
sary cachet.

Journalism.

We have recently had a sample OF
what will happen when an illlterate
man goes into vocation that demands
special training. This is especially
true when that man is possessed OF
a slanderous tongue. The slanderer IN
conversation is the libeler in journal
5sn2. The two are closely allied with
fbe anarchist and the other lower
strata of mentality and morality. Civ
en the pen, a printing press, some ink
and paper, and they at once begin their
vituperous and slanderous cussedness.
1t has become necessary to enact laws
TO protect society from these vipers.
Hence the SANDER and libel laws.
These illiterate people have no concep-
zion of journalism, no sense OF the
power of the press; they have usually
been criticised by the newspapers for
official misconduct generally graft
ro5bing the public, which to their dull,
1ndeveloped senses is legitimate
their ewes all men are rascals. Their
idea of ethics is that of Rob Roy;
The good old way j,
The simple plan, that
He shall take who has the power,
And he shall keep who can.
They are dangerous to the public,
menace to society. They would rob a
man of his good name as they would
city, county or state of money.
Having been criticised, they enter
journalism on the theory that it is a bust
ness for slashing right and left Their
ignorance is the main element of dang
GER. Their debaseness is their main ele-
znent of weakness. The law is their
usual stumbling block.
In twenty years Of journalism the
writer has seen several instances of
6his kind where these slanderous illit-
crates who couldn't write ten line
paragraph correctly, undertook to edit
newspapers. None of them succeed
ed-except to get into jail or bank
2uptcy. Some put their property into
hiding while judgments were against
them, others took to the woods All
went where illiterates ought to go-into
some such business as slot machine
management.
Journalism is profession in which
person will continually learn things if
he has any brains and sense of decency.
IF he hasn't, it is a hopeless case.
The first lesson that should be learn
ed that powerful weapons should be
carefully handled Lies and SANDER
should be studiously avoided. 1t does
MT pay-that is reason enough.
Another lesson is that your shadow
will not hurt you-don't be afraid of it.
Another thing is that, to be worth
printing, matter should be of public
interest. No. better guide was ever
promulgated than
If you've anything to say
True and needed,
Yea or nay,
Say it.

Really Too Bad.

The Journal expresses sympathy for
o. A. Sergent who ran for county clerk
It is a waste Of sympathy Mr.. Ser
gent is not in need Of sympathy. In
fact he says that he had pleasant
outing, got acquainted with many people
and an experience that is valuable as
set. He is a school teacher and one in
that profession needs to meet people
under variable conditions. The Jour

Why?

The Tony Enterprise and Rusk Coun-
ty Journal both make it appear that
J. w. Fritz signature was not good on
a $1,000 bond. This is false and those
papers ought to know it. Mr.. Fritz
signature is good for dozen Of such
bonds. Why these papers, both of
which are under obligations to him,
thus voluntarily falsify the facts to
Mr.. Fritz injury is for them to ex-
plain.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-23

said OBrien. "There is no chance of
me losing to anybody, but if the op-
portunity presents itself see no reason
why 1 might not make some money
between times"
The fact that O'Brien signed with
Burns yesterday will set at rest claims
put forth by some that he would never
again enter the ring with Burns. 1t
is true that O'Brien in the stress of
quick aftermath intimated that he
was through with the heavyweights,
but like Jim Jeffries, who has now
come forth for battle, could not well
overlook the great financial considera-
tions which have been in order. O'Brien
by his marvellous footwork and gen.
eralship in his contest with Tommy
Burns probably builded more than he
thought for himstlf, for so fast was
the battle that nothing short of an
other contest would satisfy admirers
of each man.
1t would be manifestly unfair to ac-
cuse either Burns or O'Brien with
lack of courage. Burns, despite the
laugh which arose when he volunteered
to meet Jeffries, possesses the nerve
required for battle with the great
champion. The man probably never
lived whom Burns would not meet so
far as courage is concerned.
For O'Brien, he is as game as they
the first time 1t was realized that
straight rules would be distinct dis
advantage, though in reason it was
necessary that he should consent.
Few men of his weight, if any in the
ring today, would have shown suffi-
cient grit to last under the punishment
inflicted in the now famous fifth"
Since the battle OBrien has freely ad-
mitted that he was badly stunned by
the blow, at the same time making no
excuses for being caught. Right here
is another reason why O'Brien has
retained the popularity which attend
ed him before meeting Burns.
Although no great credit should be
rendered a man for not crying after
receiving a surprise, nevertheless so
few instances are on record of sue
cessful ringster accepting what might
be possibly termed a setback without
offering a volume of excuses that
O'Brien's department has been worthy
of notice. Not once has he said or
done that which would tend to detract
from Burns showing,s and in this he
evidences a level headedness far be-
yound the average man Of the ring.
Way down deep in his heart O'Brien
feels that at another time he will win
from Tommy Burns, but he is far too
clever to make excuses for failure to
do so recently. This feature Of O'Brien's
makeup is but one of thousand in
stances which have gradually made
him not only one of tho'mL st popular
boxers of the day but one who may
rest secure in the knowledge that
rainy day may find the wolf howl way
in the distance.
Fighting is a business with O'Brien. |
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-23

He is not of the sentimental sort
when such affairs are on. His unwill-
ingness to smother Burns success
should he be able to do so arises from
not so much the Leart as from the
head. O'Brlen is the good fellow and
all that sort of thing, but not the
good fellow who allows a business
opportunity to slip by the board. From
certain quarters disposition exists
not friendly toward the Philadelphia,
because he is no mixer. Well, he is
clever enough to mix in the right
place. A few more like OBrien and
some of the wrecks of manhood scat
tered along the pugilistic path would
be earning money today instead of fall
ing before mere novices with the
gloves.
Saving His Money
When Jack O'Brien retires from the
ring, according to present reckoning,
it will be with a well-filled purse and
sound body. He cannot be blamed
for an earnest endeavor to bring about
such a condition of affairs.
Tommy Burns has also reached a
point in his profession where the pleas
ant places are lying. There is no tell
ing how much of this worlds goods
Tommy will have gathered by the time
he again arrives in Los Angeles, but
is waiting for the heavyweight whose
climb has been rapid during the past
few years. Before Tommy left for the
east last night he was commenting
somewhat upon the recent months of
his career. He said:
Things are coming easy for me now,
but no one can say l didn't do my
part. They laughed at me when l
matched to meet Marvin Hart. They
laughed some more when / agreed to
meet O'Brien. There is no telling how
long they will laugh and then again
there is no telling how long 1 may
keep on winning"
Far in the distance as it is, the
O'Brien- Burns battle to come will with
out doubt prove the most spectacular
affair of it's kind carded in America
for years. The mere meeting of the
men will not alone call for interest.
During Fiesta week Los Angeles is to
have within her gates the greatest
of people that ever visited the
city at one time. Fifty thousand
Shriners and their friends are already
to cross the country, while
the annual concourSe of eastern tour
lists will swell the Fiesta throngs.
For their entertainment varied pro-
gram Is in course of arrangement and
not least will be the meeting of two
gladiators whose ring prowess is ex-
celled by the latest entry to active
ranks, James j. Jeffries.
Articles Signed
Following are the articles agreed
upon yesterday:

r )M MCAREY has "gone and done

TOM RCAREY has ''gone and done
it," Rhyolite failed to materialize
= yesterday and few moments
after 12 o'clock the hammer fell, Nc
Carey securing the match for 100000.
When Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns
again meet in battle it will be in Los
Angeles during Fiesta week at date
to be agreed upon later.
Far different from preliminaries at
tendant upon the first signing of ar
ticles between the two men was the
scene enacted yesterday when O'Brien
and Burns entered McCareys office
well, what is there from Rhyolite
or Tonopah?" spoke up Tom. Both
men shook their heads in evidence that
they had received no further offers
from the mining regions. Ready to
sign for me, then?' continued McCarey.
Both men signified a willingness and
soon were seated discussing q new set
of articles
Everything proceeded smoothly and
very little difficulty was experienced
before signatures were attached.
O'Brien and Burns each deposited a
check with .McCarey for $2500 as a
forfeit. The former meeting when ar
ticles were agreed upon for the first
battle had paved a way for more
peaceable negotiations and beyond a
few arguments advanced by both men
there was nothing to indicate the
slightest i'll feeling.
Straight Marquis of Queensberry
rules are to govern the battle, with
provision that McCarey may settle dis
putes arising in connection with any
thing not covered by the Queensberry
regulations. According to a section
which provides that neither man may
participate in a ring contest after
March IS, O'Brien and Burns may take
part in battles before meeting for their
championship bout.
An amicable conclusion brought the
conference to an end. Burns left last
night for Philadelphia, where he will
open a theatrical venture. Tommy
went the rounds saying good by and
as finale spoke to O'Brien and offered
his hand.
Burns Says Farewell
Good by, O'Brien," he said. The
Philadelphian extended his hand and
wished Burns a Merry Christmas"
Probabilities are that. O'Brien will
endeavor to secure a match with some
of the ambitious heavyweights who are
anxious to present a claim for the big
purses that are now being offered. The
Philadelphian realizes that there is al
ways danger of encountering an upset
which would put his battle with Burns
at a great discount. However, small
possibility exists that O'Brien will be
rash.
Gunner Moir of England has been
asking for a match and O'Brien may
see fit to take him on. He was talking
the situation over with McCarey yes
terday and the latter warned him to
be careful.
Now, don't worry about me, Mac"
