PRESS Is OPTICAL PAPER.

The awarding of the county print.
Ing to the Press Publishing company
was the only logical procedure by the
board OF county commissioners. The
work had been done at such a low fig
ure the past year that the quality OF
paper stock furnished was necessar-
lily OF the cheapest and most worth
less character, and this condition be-
came so aggravated that some OF the
county officers refused to use the sta
tlOnery. Under these circumstances,
with a still further cut by the Jour
nal, nothing but unsatisfactory SER
vice and material could be expected,
and In the interest OF economy In Sc
curing material that the county offlc-
ers could use. the board had no alter
native but to ward the contract to the
Press al slight figure above that OF
the Journal, just as any man would
do In conducting his private business.
There Is such thing as an article
being so cheap that It is worthless and
this Ii the case with the Journal
stock and printing furnished the
county. The bids we're submitted on
their merits and the commissioners
considered that OF the Press the more
meritorious and awarded 1t the con-
tract. They took the business view
Of the matter and no one will say that
they should have done otherwise.
Quality counts in competitive bidding
as in any other line OF business. The
action OF the board makes the Press
the oticial county paper. OF course
the Journal will rant and roar In
vain effort to deceive the people, but
70 no purpose.
