A NEWSPAPER should not be an
organ Of It's owner or editor, but
should cover the news and editori-
ally treat public questions in a fair,
~unselfish way. The Alton (okla.)
Americon gives the following good
advice on this subject: "a newspa-
per. to be a newspaper, should treat
friend and foe, booster and knocker
equally alike when # comes to pub
fishing the news. All churches and so
cieties should be treated alike News
Is news and any time a newspaper
man transforms news into puffs and
taffy, boats Of soft soap, he prosti-
tutes his profession and ceases to be
a newspaper man except in name
only. No sensible newspaper man
viii puff a church, society, club, or
individual, merely TO curry patron
age. 1t is his business to tell the
truth in the news and publish the
news as news and nothing else.
Just because he wishes to work a
little patronage out of somebody is
no excuse for inflicting a lot of sIush
upon his readers instead Of legitim-
ate news. But the putting habit has
got such a hold upon some editors
that many Of their patrons expect a
lot Of soft soap slush about them
or they will throw their patronage
elsewhere. They are always fish
ing for compliments and are sore If
they don't get them. But If they do
get them the other readers of the pa
per are disgnsted. It is better to
disgruntle a selfish and egotisticaI
few than to nauseate a whole com.
munity OF readers. The sensible
newspaper man will give every item
Of news all the space it deserves
and cut out all the slush, il mat.
tiers not even il it concerns the So
called best people" Of the com
munity. The best people" are no
better than anybody else when II
comes to the serving of plain, legit-
Innate news. The same rule applies
TO churches, lodges, clubs and So
c%ieties. and the newspaper man
who would succeed in the end will
adhere strictly to the news and elm
mate the soft soap. the puffs and the
slush."

THE Luneus tMo.) Bulletin. edit
cd BY Hickman WiEglnton, formerly
q Mexico, makes the following splen-
aid suggestion in reference 70 buying
your Christmas goods at home: Get
a COPY Of your county newspaper and
thoroughly sean the holiday an
n~ouncemenis It contains. With a
pencil check the articles which appea
10 you AZ being desirable. whether
they be ia tins iineof dry goods. gro
ceries. confectionery. tewelry hard
ware. furniture. druggists gundries
or millinery goods. Then take a
slip u paper and write down the arti-
store or stores where they are to be
found. Then when you go to mar
ket, you will not find It necessary to
have the salesman hunt over every
thing in his stock and finally select
a lot Of presents for you which, af-
Ter more mature reflection, you win
perhaps wish you hadn't bought. The
purchaser should practically know
what he wants before entering a
store. If he does. results are much
satisfactory both 10 him and
70 the salesman. Systematic adver-
tlsing encourages this practice on the
part Of purchasers aud IS Of vast ben
eft 10 both merchant and patron.
Make . study Of the advertisements
10 this issue Of The Bulletin and
note how II vii help you in making
yogr holidav unrehhases."

THE NeFada Csio.) Mail agrees
with the Ledger that # always pays
70 patronize home institutions. and
sditorialiy says: The goods you
might purchase from catalogue hous-
81 seem attractive as seen in their
Illustrated catalogues, but may not
be substantial as they appear. But
when you buy at home you inspect
what you purchase. and patrohise the
home man who helps to build up the
town and county and viii give you a
square deal" for the home merchant
cannot afford to do otherwise, for he
wants to build up a permanent bust
ness. Spend your dollars at home
and thus place the money in local cir
culatlon and prove a benefit TO all.
