BEING JUST A NEWSPAPER.

The Camas Prairie Chronicle,
printed in Cottonwood, came out
enlarged last week, and Editor
Winner announces in the enlarged
number that he has quit the
ranks of partisan politics and
hereafter the Chronicle will be
independent.
The Chronicle has been such a
real good newspaper in the past
that it has not always been clear
with just which party the editor
affiliated. The announcement
of its independently in politics
will give added strength with its
constituency. The writer is a
firm believer in the power of the
press, and he cannot see how
conscientious publishers who
demand great freedom and
independence of thought and
action in all other matters, will
remain so party bound when
political spoils are divided by
such high-handed gag methods
as are used today. 1t is all right
for the professional politician to
stick to his party in season and
out, from one election to another,
no matter the character of the
bedfellows that are given him;
that is in the game and he has to
stay to dray out what he has put
in. But the newspaper is too
valuable an instrument to be
used to selfish ends. The editor
is at the old stand in sunshine and
rain, working for the community,
and for all, and he should be
broad enough to see that the
panacea for all our ills is not to
be found in one party, clique or
coterie of individuals.
There is no higher calling than
that of the publisher, and If
success is reached the average
man will have enough to do in
making just a good newspaper
and he will leave success to
be won in politics to others who
are less scrupulous and who are
willing, and can, swear eternal
allegiance to one cause. Elk

Is Cottonwood going to cele-
brate this year? Is so, it is time
something was being said about
it. Towns all around us are al
ready making preparations to
celebrate and if we are to do
likewise things should not be left
until the last minute. We have
less than a month and a half in
which to make arrangements
and all this time can be spent to
good advantage if we are to
celebrate and do it properly.
With our fine band and base ball
team for local attractions it
should not take much to make a
rousing success of our celebra-
ton this year, but it cannot be
done if all arrangements are left
until the last minute. Other
towns will secure the ball teams
and we will be left in the lurch.
If we are to celebrate let the
fact be known and begin making
necessary arrangements at once.
Do it now.

The year 1908 bids fair to see
a larger emigration westward
than has taken place in years,
owing to the unsettled conditions
and financial flurries in the east.
Strange as it may seem, it is
nevertheless a fact. That during
hard times the western emigra-
ton is greatest. The American
people generally are wise enough
to let well enough alone; but
when hard times pinch them they
are prone to turn their eyes west
ward, to a new country where
hope always blossoms. They
reason, and correctly, that in an
undeveloped region times cannot
possibly be worse than in the
developed east, and the I'M
developed west must offer many
opportunities Tor employment
and investment not found at
home, and so they turn their
faces toward the setting sun in
expectant hope, and we beckon
them come. The magnificent
showing which Idaho is making
in every line of industry con-
trasts so strongly with the acute
depressions of uncertainty in the
east we are likely to receive,
before the of end the year, an
accession to the population of the
Gem State and to the working
capital of all our industries that
will create a brilliant era
of prosperity. American Falls

A Missouri scribe has given
vent to the following: You
frequently hear folks say they
wish they were millionaire. But
our idea of happiness is the one
that owns forty acres of land in
the hills, doesn't owe a cent, has
a wife and seven children, FIVE
good coon dogs, sorrel team of
mules, a good shot gun, forty
seven miles from the railroad and
right on a good stream for fish.
If that would not be happiness
"unalloyed" we would like to
know where you would go to find,
it.
