 The Star is always glad to give the use of it's columns to any man or set of men in Polk county who de- sire information or to discuss any proposition of interest to the people, and will, when requested to do so, seek to give the readers true and unprejudiced replies to any ques- tions asked at least both sides of the issue. The public interest is always best protected where the people look closely into the acts of their public officials. There have been communications received, how ever, which were of unreasonable character and even libelous, that no paper would dare to print even if it desired to do so.
 To serve the people by securing and spreading the truth is the high est purpose of any worthy news paper.
