THE ATTITUDE OF THE NEWS

With regard to disincorporation or
the retention of its present form of
government by the city of Ely, the
News occupies a position absolutely
free from interest in the matter one
way or another, further than attitude
it is called upon to take in serving
the public as public servant which
every rightly conducted newspaper is.
As public servant, the News is
called upon to take such stand at all
times as it may deem facts to justify,
facts as it may be best able to Sc
cure and interpret them with bearing
on public affairs. 1t is the duty of
a newspaper to so inform the public,
whether it make for friends or for
enemies by so doing or whether it's
stand meets with the approval of a
majority or minority. Such course
means that at no time is it likely
that everybody will hold opinion or
share views corresponding with those
of the News Every man is entitled
to his own opinion and none will be
found more firmly supporting this
right than the News, which insists
upon enjoyment of such liberty for
itself.
As previously said, it is immaterial'
to the News whether Ely disincorpo-
rates or not 1t believes that the
facts which it has presented in the
matter warrant the consideration of
the taxpayers of Ely and believes that
the publication of these facts has
been nothing more or less than SER
vice due the public for the latter's
information. If man is having his
pockets gone through in a crowd and
a Dystander watches the work per-
formed without giving alarm and
stopping it, he is no better than the
pilferer. However, if the victim,
after informed that he is being gone
through does not wish to stop the
pleasure of the pilferer, it is nobody's
business but his.

WORKERS DIG
UP --URIED VILLAGE

WASHINGTON, Dec. II An en-
tire village built by the French dur
ing their occupation of the isthmus
and completely buried by the dense
jungle growth of 20 years has been
discovered at Caimito Mulato by the
engineering force that is locating the
center line of the canal in the Cha
gres division.
The village contained nine sets of
married quarters, % barracks and
mess halls and a small machine shop.
A majority of the buildings are in
sufficiently good condition to be worth
preservation.
In order to afford comparison of
the cost of the building construction
by contract as against day labor,
proposals are soon to be called for by
the Isthmian Canal commission cover
ing the construction of one or more
of the commission type quarters on
the basis of all material being fur
nished by the government at the site
and all labor being furnished by the
contractor.

Is DR.. Wallace and the public To
understand from the Impostor of last
evening that the sheet has blackmail
in reserve for him? Does the threat
of something in reserve mean any
thing else? Out with what You know
and why did you not put it before
the grand jury if you knew it? That
body found only praise for the con-
duct of county affairs in the hands
of Dr. Wallace and assistants. Let
us hear no more of 'open dealing
from the Impostor corner. The sheet
through vicious attacks under cover
on different citizens and state off
Gals, notably the governor, during
the week has let itself out of all con-
sideration in connection with any
thing whatsoever that has sound of
fairness or open handed dealing.

We do not believe there are any two
merchants in Ely who are paying the
Impostor the same price for the same
goods. IT TAKES WHAT IT CAN
GET, is a common beggar of aims in
this respect, street vag. 1t gives
poor service at the lowest of the
prices it mulets the public of. 1t is
is fair with neither its customers nor
itself in the advertising business, no
mors so than it is with the public in
its prejudiced. spite reeking, malice
breathing columns.
As for the record of charges
against the city, they can be confirm
ed at any time as printed in the col
umns of the News of Friday by any
citizen at the Office of the city treas
urer. They are there in black and
white and all the apologies, eXplana-
tions and recriminations thai the de-
ceit and filth of the Impostor mind
can conjure will not destroy the
damning facts those figures present
in mute testimony as to the reason of
the papers support of incorporation
and its opposition to disincorpora-
ton.

NOBLE ANIMAL GOES.
Bryan Splendid st. Bernard, !.
Doomed to Death.

The fate of Bryan, the huge st.
Bernard dog owned by w. b. Ora
ham, and which is considered one
of the landmarks" of Ely, is sealed.
Bryan will meet his death today.
For many years the dog was a fam
lily pet and everyone in the camp
knows him. OF late he has made
his home on the sidewalk before the
Graham Mercantile building in Ault-
man street.
He is old and is becoming queru-
lous in his old age. He has snapped
at a number of children during the
last few weeks, and Mr.. Graham has
desired that an end be made of him,
but could not bring himself to dis
patch the animal.
While City Marshal John Hudgins
was passing last night, Bryan growled
and snapped at him, evidently recog-
nizing him as ex-officio dog catcher,
slightly tearing the flesh of Hud-
gins right hand. Hudgins had the
wound cauterized, and will execute
Bryan today.

THE NEW COMMISSIONER.

Ira ]. Mcknight. appointed by
Governor Sparks to succeed to the
vacancy on the board of county COM
missioners made by the death of w.
r. Bassett, is a citizen of the district
in whom those who know him have
fun confidence. Good words are
spoken on all sides for him. He is
man of the people, yorker and
knows of their needs from contact
with them. Representative of the
best element of citizenship as he is,
his appointment is one which does
the governor credit and gives the
county the services of a good man.

TO THE BUSINESS MAN.

The News is the paper this district
is reading these days. Everybody
don't like it by any manner of means
but those who are most vigorous in
their denunciation are those who are
reading it most closely, whether they
buy it or whether they borrow or
steal it. And it is the paper that is
read that gives returns fer money
spent for advertising in its columns.
The News is making money for
every one of its advertisers. They
are selling the goods they advertise
and do not hesitate to say so. If
YOU are not among them you are los
ing money The columns of the pa
per are open to you. Use them if
you think it will pay you. Leave
them alone and no i'll will other
wise. 1t is straight business propo-
sition, without cut rate or nagging
trimmings. The paper would like to
do business with you but in the con-
duct of your business so as to get all
from it that you should have you
need to do business with the News
far more than the News needs TO do
business with you. The big profit is
on your side.

THE IMPOSTOR'S APOLOGY.

The Impostor in column of
rambling apology, deceit and occa-
ly admitted last evening that it stood
guilty as charged of reaching into
the public pocketbook of Ely to the
extent of about 1900 in four
months, the pocketbook of the bust
ness man and his customer, conclud-
ing with declaration that the work
was to be done and who had a better
right to do it."
That is precisely the attitude OF the
and the ordinary thief;
the money is where he can get his
hands on it and being in that posi-
ton who has a better right to it?
The Impostor put up the job that
made the work available In other
words it broke into the counting
room of the public and helped itself
from the safe. Now it protests
against the safe being closed, in other
words, against the business men of
Ely kicking it out and shutting the
door to the safe through disincorpo-
ration.
In Sinking attempt at some sort
of justification in the eyes of the peo-
pie, some sort of relief from the
odium that must attach to its course
in the publis eye because of the
finn fiam game it has so plainly
worked, the Imposter declares that
it did the city publishing below regu-
lar rates and some of it for nothing.
We cannot assert it positively at this
time but we do not believe that the
EXpositor printed single line of a
single ordinance for nothing. OnI
the other hand, we shall be very
much surprised if it develops that
the paper did not charge for lines
1t never printed.
AS for printing matter at less price
han its regular rates, the Impostor
HAS NO REGULAR RATES. 1t is a
cut-rate outfit in that re-
,pect. ANY PRICE BUYS its space.

There are still some who find 1t
pleasurable and profitable to air opin-
ions with regard to the loss of con-
troll of their interests by the Gug-
genheims. The latter doubtless know
their own business and their an
nouncement some time ago that ru-
mors of loss of control were absurd
is unquestioned in circles acquaint-
ed with the resources of these people.
Bull or bear talk for market or other
purposes conflicting with the Guggen-
helm statement amount to waste of
words and nothing more

Governor Sparks is receiving praise
from newspapers throughout the
state, regardless of pOliticical affili-
matter 1t is not of record, however,
that the organ of the lieutenant gov

on the subject, except to pervert a
dispatch a few days ago to the end
of delivering one of its stabs in the
dark at the chief executive.
