of any divine power to assist US In
obtaining our desires. If we want
something-go get it. II you are am

that something. Don't waste your time

Forget the Many Good
Things.

The honest, fearless, courage
Gus newspapers unvoidably make
enemies. Some people have
strange conceptions of the news
paper business. A clever ex-
change hits it off in this wise:
"And SO newspaper makes en-
emies. A single unfortunate
line may wipe the already faint
recollection of a hundred nice
things it may have said about a
man; a single failure to be guild
ed by the judgment of a politi-
clan instead of his own concience,
may make that politician the ed.
itor's enemy, regardless of the
years during which the paper
may have contributed to the ab.
vancement of that politician: and
even though a paper may have
for years been a leading factor in
booming Its town, this service
may instantly be forgotten If it
offends once as to disregardlng
the ideas of some as to public
policy. The wonder therefore,
must not be as to the number of
enemies a newspaper has, but as
to its friends being so many.
That a newspaper has many
friends, surely is a tribute to the
intelligence of it's readers who
are broad enough to realize that
one may occasionally err and vet
be worthy of confidence. Real.
izing this, the sensible newspa-
