The Independent Newspaper

In a recent issue a Dawson county
newspaper seeks to disparage indepen-
dent journalism, at thc same time in
sisting that there is demand only for
newspapers published along orthodox
lines Of partisanship, in direct adj
vocacy of either Republican or Demo
cratic principles.
Such view Of present day journa-
ism is not alone provincial, it is alto
oether lacking in intelligent percep-
tion Of the new and more progressive
conditions resulting from the ability
Of the reading public to judiclously
discriminate between the carefully
weighed opinions Of newspapers pub
lished along honest, independent lines
of thought and the utterances OF the
marty organ, which can only see mat
tiers through the clouded and bedinam-
al classes of uncompromising parti-
sanship.

lions appreciate the necessity Of what

are generally known as party Or
Igans,' and the maintenance OF such
organs is generally considered as IN
dispensable to the success and welfare
of these political bodies. But it would
be unfortunate for the masses OF our
citizenship were they compelled to rely
upon journals Of that character for
reliable information where politics IS
a recognized issue. as the veriest tyro
in the realm of political manipulation
knows full we'll that these partisan or
gans have no hesitancy whatever in re-
sorting to the most palpable nisrepre-
sentatiop if by such course the IN
terests of the organization of which
they are the rnouthpieee may be en-
HANGED and promoted. This must not
be construed as in any sense rehec-
ton upon the personal integrity Of
these publishers who must, no matter
how sincere they may be as individuals,
laud their party leadership and exploit
their platforms with an utter indiffer-
ence to the existence of such scandal,
corruption and chicanery as may from
time to time attach thereto.
The independent publication does
not find itself called upon to descend
to these extremes or to thus stultify
its journalistic manhood by utilizing
its columns for any proposed debauch-
cry Of the electorate at the dictation
of any coterie Of schening, selfish and
conniving politicians. Impervious to
the lash of the party whip, oblivious
to the demands of any specific politi-
cal organization, the independent
newspaper is given opportunity to
win the commentator of every honor
able, fairminded citizen by giving him
facts fairly and impartially presented
and carefully compiled for the consid-

gent to do their own thinking without
