THE COUNTY, PRINTrNG.

1t is natural for the man who loses
in any undertaking to feel sore,
Some are able to conceal their feel
ings, and others cannot hide the sore
spots, but expose them to the gaze
of an unsympathetic audience. Mr..
Moon, publisher of the Journal, be-
longs to the latter class. In his anx-
iety to secure the county printing re-
gardless OF profit he bid SO low that
to protect himself from loss he was
compelled to slight the workmanship
and furnish inferior stock, some OF It
SO poor In quality that county offic-
falls refused to use 1t and stated that
II necessary they would pay for letter
heads aud envelopes from their own
pockets rather than send out the stuff
furnished by the Journal. oficials
were compelled to use rotten paper
for valuable public documents that
we're to be filed away and preserved
and instead Of the low bid of the
Journal being a saving to the county
II might prove very expensive. The
Journal admits that II has been fur
nishing the county inferior stock. and
the printing speaks for itself. Under
these conditions Chairman Trigg and
Commissioners Waltman considered 1t
a matter OF economy to pay the Press
o slight advance under q guarantee
TO furnish FIRST class stock. something
that the officers would not throw in
the waste basket, The same condi-
tins are true with printing for In
dividuals. The Press was recently
given competitive Job OF printing at
more than double the bid OF the
Journal. strictly on the superior quail.
ity Of work we turn out, and such
things are common. Economy Is not
always done up in the lowest price
and We have heard a number of peo-
pie commend the commissioners for
taking quality into consideration
both in stock and workmanship.

The Press Is not prepared to say
whether the bonding of the school
district for $4,000 to erect high
school building Is the proper thing or
not. There are a number of conting-
engcies entering into the proposal
which the people should be Informed
upon before the election IL held, and
Il win be the aim OF tn Press to give
them the Information. and then they
wiil be able to know what they are
voting for. One thing rs certain, the
bonding Of the district for so large
2 sum to be put into one building is
a serious matter, as It would put the
bondee debt OF the district up to the
limit allowed by law. There Is one
change however, that should be made
aside from the bonding matter. and
that IL in the high school bailding.
where grown pupils are compelled to
