The editor Of a newspaper is often
accused Of leaving out certain items
Of news purposely, because of a dis
like OF the person to be mentioned,
or from prejudice or another cause.
This Is all rot. The editor has some-
thing like a million different things TO
tnink of in connection with the issue
OF one paper and it is not surprising
il he misses an item occasionally or
sometimes forsets one which has been
called to his attention. Nine out OF
ten people you ask for a news item
will tell you they can't think of any.
But in most cases they expect the
editor to think Of them all and Criti-
else him ii he fails in a single item.
The best way is to give the editor
credit for what he does find and for
some things tina, he finds and don't
mention. FIX.

Pull together, brethren. We are
all here for the same purpose. Then
1--we and let live. The best way to
build up a town is Tor each and every
man to pull together and not strive to
rcnd and tear down. All the resi-
dents of a town are partners, not OPP
ponents. In all likelihood the more
business done by your rival the more
you will do. Every merchant who
treats his customers honestly and
'airly will get his share and the more
business that can be secured by
united effort, the better it will be for
AL. When a town ceases to grow it
commences to die, and the more peo-
pie try to kill each other off in BUSH
ness and good name the more rapidly
will utter ruin come to all. Stand to-
gcthcr for the advancement of every
citizen, and ii a man shows the ability
to prosper do not pull him back with

Tho Root of Altruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First. the principle
of Justice; that there is moral law
before which all men are equal, SO
that ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind Of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle Of free will; that
can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if l do not
do SO. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. X. Chesterton.
