 It is unnecessary for The Darlington Publishing Company to further intro duce to it's readers, friends and we'll wishers its new editorial associate, MT. Osborn. The city of New Haven is not a total stranger to his twenty-seven years of service in the newspaper field here and in the State. It is more to the point to indicate what the confident aim and hope of this new association Is from the point of view of New Ha- ven, and this section of the State, which, 1t is wholly right in considering, offers 1t an opportunity to continue a creditable service covering already one hundred and forty years.
 The Journal and Courier will under take in no sensational way to further commend itself to an ever-increasing circle of readers and advertisers. It feels the stimulant of enterprise and confesses to the determination to let 1t do it's encouraging work of develop inent in a rational self-respecting. alert and unself1sh manner. It intends to succeed, but the success it seeks is that which comes only from the kind of newspaper service which constantly associates the prosperity of the gem eral community with its own. There are times in the history of some hu- man institutions when revolution can alone attain the ends which are justi- fled by social progress If such a mo- ment is to come in the honorable life of the Journal and Courier, it is not yet in sight of it's present owners and responsible directors.
 We have well-thought-out plans for the steady development of the property in all of its phases, and shall in time be supplied with the facilities which are essential to the complete gratifica- tion of our expectations. Already tho attention of our readers, old and new for there are many hundreds of the latter who have but just struck hands with us and given us the splendid as- surance of their interest--already our readers will detect a sprightlier typo graphical appearance, more enthusi- astic policy in reaching after local news, and a more complete display of advertising wares. This Is, on the ane hand, proof of our concern for the sound principles of newspaper making, and, on the other hand, an assurance of our determination to retain all that is practical of traditional conservatism, while adding to that easly-recognized Connecticut trait so much of the mod ern spirit of originality as makes for a fairer product. Newspapers, like in- dividuals, find that the ever-ohanging laws of life demand conformity with them. To those laws, as written in this connection, the Journal and Courier bows, without failing to appre- ciate it's solid foundation wrought in the very iron of conservatism,
 We enter upon the life which is ahead of us with every confidence in the re- wards which come from fair dealing and square speaking. We are owned only by ourselves. We have no favor ites to play, as the expression runs, nor have we enemies to punish, The streets are broad enough in the city of New Haven for us all to walk thereon com fortably, and while we naturally be- Iieye that there is room for us to walk erect and in the public respect, we wish others the same enjoyment of Gods bounty. If we have an ambition, to which we confess, to serve New Haven in all of its human activities to the limit of being considered representative in that capacity, ana If then we aspire to like recognition from the newspa- per forces of State distinction, we shal hope to be supported in it.
 We wish to be taken as seriously as we take ourselves. and yet with that saving sense of well-balanced humol which keeps one from despair when ir- ritation comes, and which protects one against frivolity when the sun dances It is in this spirit of hopefulness, de- termination and harmony that we en- ter upon an additional period of pros perity for the Journal and Courier, and we bespeak the good will and cooper ation of its fellow-citizens. Now fol the workshop, the tools and the product,
