THE PROTECTION OF DIR
RIGHTS.

The protection OF our rights is
the basis Of both patriotic feeling
and action. Since time was young
men have fought, suffered and
died for the privilege of exercis-
.ng their rights, and the strue-
gle VIII continue as long as the
world lasts.
ANY people without rights is a
down-trodden nation, no matter
what their environment and re-
sources. The entire possessions
OF the Gar of Russia might be-
studded with precious stones.
sparkling with gold, and over
lowing with milk and honey. but
as long as the majority OF his
subjects are denied the right Of
Intelligent citizenship, and free
dom OF thought and action. the
country can never attain to an
IDEAL civilization. So with other
natIous when wealth and POSI-
ton are the ruling powers.
In our own great republic. il is
IN the freedom to speak out in
public what we think in private.
and to stand for principles, IN.
undaunted by land owners CT
arlstocracy, that constitutes our
true strength, and this strength
Is mainly obtained and protected
through the press.
In every county seat and CITY
are organs that voice the wishes
and sentiments of the masses.
and these publications are the
most effective weapons that can
DC placed in the hands OF the
American people. The aspirant

dent, realizes the power of the
press to snow him under or TO
boost him into position. No mat
ter what the candidates. finan-
cial worth, and independent press
protects the people against his
schemes for unfair election.
Being the best weapon with
which to fight fraud, corruption
and tyranny, it is but fair and
just for the newspaper TO receive
the hearty support of every CON- !
munity enjoying its protecting
influence. Ii you are in business
or practicing a profession. II is
through the columns of your To-
