SPESHIAL NOTISl

We are so blamed full Of news and
advertisements this week that we amt
scarcely got any room left for a edito-
rial in this collum Of this issue where
It generally occurs and therefore no cd
itOrial appears here in this conueck-
shion Another reason why we don't
write any editorial this week is because
we can't think Of nothing partickler TO
write about
It amt once in a long time that we
have failed to write a red hot editorial
III the Bugle every week on some sub
jeckt Of speshial interest or other for
the information, education and edifca-
shion of Our subscribers. but in looking
about for something 10 write about in
this issue we couldn't seem to think OF
anything so We have decided to spare
YOU the pain, as it were, and give YOU
a chance TO rest up. Some Of our sub
scribers has told us that our editorials
IS 50 deep and full Of thought that It
makes them tired to read them week in
and week out It's a great thing TO be
the eiItor of newspaper like the Boo
gle and to write editorial opinions con-
cerning the live topicks Of the day for
them as have no opinions of their own
and we hope we keenly feel the respon-
sibility of our posishion. Where would
some of our subscribers ever get their
opinions, we ask, if they didn't get
them outen the Bugle? Our subscribers
looks to us every week for their opin-
ions and when they are in doubt about
anything they generally hunt up their
back copies of the Bugle to see what
We said about it, if anything.
Next week we hope to have in this
space a red hot editorial on something
or other, but at this writing we don't
know what. If any OF our subscribers
would ike TO read our editorial opinion
on some subjeckt or other which would
be of interest to the readers of the Blu
gle kindly let us know what the sub
jeckt is and we will treat it without
fear or favor. Sujestshions kindly re-
ceived at this office.
