The TASK OF INDEPENDENCE.

Here is the platform of the new daily
newspaper lately launched in ST.
Louis:
'In politics the Times will stand for
the princfliple of independence in local
and state afTa irs. In these days OF
disturbed alliances. of political unrest,
of distorted party lines, there, can be
no successful application to local con-
ditions OF the colorless theory of po-
litical creed. Foreign relations,
the finesse of diplomacy, the great
game on the worlds chessboard, the
issues involving national support at
home and dignity abroad--these have
nothing to do with local government,
be it that of town, county, or state. The
Times will adhere to this principle alb
solutely, firm in it's confidepce that the
people will rally around.A. That
which is good for St. Louis; that which
makes for the betterment of the SOUTH
west; that which speaks for. a better
and broader humanity; that which is
human and not artificial; that which is
honest and just--these things and
those akin to them will have the un-
alterable. persistent, and energetic sup
port Of the Times. The plea of parti-
zanship on the mere ground Of parti-
zanship will find no support in these
columns" F
Most editors can write an excellent
platform The difficulty is not so much
In precept as in performance. Inde-
pendence is a. splendid thing, but att
tempt to be absolutely indep pendent IS
as lacking in sanity as the effort to
discover principle Of perpetual mo-
ton. 1.
The Times has written good plat
form It would be interesting to know
who owns the Times. why it was start
ed in the city Of 81. Louis, with what
interests its owners are identified, and
a hundred other circumstances that
bear upon independence and platforms.
Let us hope that the foreword is a
prophecy, and that the Times will be
run according to public schedule. 1t
has gone the right way about it to
attract the attention, sympathy and
subscription OF the average citizen,
