Editor Herald:
Permit me to acknowledge re-
ceipt, from the junior member
of the Herald Publishing Co., of
an invitation to attend the clos
ing exercises Of the Jackson
Public Schools. Through your
columns wish to extend to her
an invitation to attend the De-
mocratic National Convention at
Denver. She will see the next
President nominated.
The auditorium in which the
convention will be held. is now
completed. 1t covers half a
block. The inside decorations
are being furnished by a local
mercantile firm. Some idea of
the elaborateness of the work
may be had when ! say that one
shield is to he fifteen feet high,
and fifty-five thousand yards of
bunting, or strip long enough
to reach from Jackson to Perry
vile, will be used to decorate the
walls of the building. Each
street-crossing in the business
section of the city is to be light
ed in a manner indicative of the
history of some state or territory
of the union. In short, to all
those who are here during con-
vention week, Denver will
"show them a time" such as
they never had before.
We are much interested in
what the people of Jackson are
going to do with the old court
house. To tear it down would
be a pity. We know of no town
so badly in need of a town hall.
By all means let the house be
saved.
Although politics is an absorb
ing topping everywhere just now.
there is another matter which is
a close second in commanding
public attention. refer to the
saloon question. Here in Denver
the saloons are being gradually
put out of business. They are
fighting violently, but sentiment
is too strong against them. In
my judgment, Cape Co. will be
slow to vote out the saloon. The
reason is too obvious to need
comment. Her people are good
citizens, their patriotism cannot
be questioned, their motives can
not be impugued, but all that,
combined with the anti-saloon
sentiment of the county. is not
strong enough to put the saloon
element out of business. fol

Many newspaper men will
agree that a most entertaining
newspaper is the New York Sun,
yet it is so woefully lacking in
display and illustration that the
layman doesn't become greatly
excited over it. The great news

the mechanical appearance of
the Herald with the bright and
snappy text of the Sun. If you

phecy in your hat. Take the
two newspapers of any even
date, compare them and see
what a remarkably interesting
number the body matter of the
Sun displayed and illuminated
by the Herald's pictures and
headlines would make.
If / could give only one sem
tence of advice to my fellow
editors it would be: Use all the

FIRST PRIZE PAPER.


FIRST PRIZE PAPER.
By w. L. Nelson. Editor
Eagle, Bunceton, Mo.
The real mission of the country
newspaper is to give the news. |
Without news there is no news
paper. Facts and figures. not
rumors or hearsay, constitute
news.
In the garnering of the news
harvest the local field should he
looked upon with the most favor.
In a country newspaper nothing
can take the place of country
news. The story of the wide
world is told glaring headlines
and catchy captions in the pages
of the city papers-told so fully
and so fast that competition in
this we'll filled field is folly. The
local field is for the country
newspaper. which alone gives to
its readers the story of "you all's
house" sympathizing with those
who sorrow and rejoicing with
those in merry mood. More
strictly speaking. then. the mis-
sion of the country newspaper is
20 give the local news.
The legitimate local field is
further limited by careful selec-
tion. No newspaper should
publish all the news-no more
than should a father, sitting at
his own fireside, repeat all that
he may have heard during the
day. A country newspaper must
be clean, have character and
conscience and be able to COM
mand confidence. The best
country newspaper is brave
enough to tell the truth when it
should be told and big enough
to leave untold a secret story of
shame and sin when a scoop"
would only add to the sorrow.
Important as is the news, no
newspaper fulflls its high mis-
sion when it does no more than
give the news. A newspaper,
and especially a country news
paper, must be more than a
mere phonograph. 1t must stand
for something. 1t must be in
sypmathy with those whom it
serves. 1t is possible for a news
paper to point out to the people,
many of whom are its patrons,
the pathway to local possibilities
which means progress. Above
all, the newspaper should not
fail to advocate those things
which mean better living and
higher thinking.
Finally, then, let it be SAID
that the real mission of the
country newspaper is to give the
local news accurately and fear.
lessly but in kindness, giving nc
unnecessary publicity to wrong
doing. yet sparing not frauds
nor shams, recognizing good
wherever found, striving to
build up rather than tear down,
so that the files of the paper
shall constitute a helpful history
accurate, yet showing the sun
shine rather than the shadows.

of politics of these gentleman
were not regarded as a hind

evident; and it is convincing
proof of the honesty, patriotism

the eminent fitness of these

great advantage of their ser

JOHNSON GOOD,
BURKE BETTER.

We believe the readers of
the Tribune have not at any
time had any doubt in their
minds as to our stand on the
governorship question. We
have not the slightest reason
for going back on Governor
Burke, whom we supported
during the last campaign, and
If he was worthy then of elec-
ton to the highest office in this
state, lie surely is more worthy
now, regardless OF the question
of politics.
In this connection, it might
be we'll for US to state that we
have a pereonal acquaintance
with c. A. Johnson, the repub-
lican candidate for governor,
and we know him to be a very
fine gentleman. We believe
him to be thoroughly honest
and upright in matters of bus
mess, and we have no reason
to doubt that he will make a
good governor, if elected.
Governor Burke was elected
two years ago by the votes of
the people. They had had
enough of gang republican
rule, and the sad mistake that
they made was that they failed
to elect a few other good men
along with Governor Burke,
allowing their old foggy part
isanship arguments to lull
them into the belief that by
electing democratic governor
they would make the republic
can bosses be good. From the
moment that Governor Burke
took possession of his Office.
every effort has been made by
certain of the republican of13ci-
ais who have been a majority
on the important boards, to
discountenance the Governor
in the sight of the people of the
state. Certain legislation and
rulings which he had promised
the people during his CAM
paign, have been prevented
from becoming operative by
the vote of the republican
members of the boards. This
was done under the orders of
the republican bosses, who
wished to put the Governor
down and out with the people,
J If such thing was possible.
