THE EDITOR INDISPENSABLE.

". G. Palmer. the well known writer from the
Fargo agricultural college, has said some very kind
ihrcs of the editor. We wouldn't think of throwing
such nice bouquets ourself, but long
else has seen fit to give the newspaper fraternity
so much credit cant refrain from reproducing
it,
The newspaper comes to me desk with it's wealth
of informationTne worlds happenings the doings
at home the latest agriculture, the newest
cipe for the cook the latest in styles, the kinks of
the politicians, the needs Of the community. The
ads spread before tell what the products of the
worlds markets offer, tell me whore |
them. and keep me in touch with the live business
men.
What man has comprehensive a field the
editor? What man has much power? What man
is more ready to help his constituents by bringing
them information that will be to their advantage,
whether it be on building houses raising children,
farming, exposing politicians?
Live month without paper. Could you do it.
If you mad to-what would you know at the end OF
the month? What would you look like? Would
your friends recognize you? Gentle reader,
to mee out punishment could think of
severeprson with the paper would be preferable.
Just stop and think for few minutes what Ii
would mean to be without newspaper and its
mine of information.
Ye reader, il you be merchant, forget not the
editor He brings you the notice Of those who
buy and makes your town known far and wide and
would you make it known a live town, swell the
size of the paper with your ad. If you be farmer it
brings of all the world its doing and markets
and brings you the new facts CT farm ng just fast
discovered. The editor cannot raise crops and
do all this so when reaping the abundant harvest
which he has helped increase by bringing to your
notice methods, forget remember him
with the value of bushel or two If you be city
dweer, it keeps you in touch with the world and
it's doings and tells you where the live business men
liveh. He VINO seeth the best goods, for the
least money. The editor cannot plead cases, doctor
patients, lay bricks and build houses and do that.
SO forget him not pay day
Schools, colleges and universities start US on
the educational road, but the editor is with ia all
the time-he heralds our arrival and announces our
Departure He gets up sories conundrums ETC.. for
the kids and furnishes a regular life university
course to grownups and all for the sr;n OF from one
to four dollars year. d sum that would not admit
you TO class in a college or university to
say nothing Of books These lessons are furnished
ready printed Nor need this course of instruction
interfere with your business 1t comes to you and
be taken odd moments and at any place DO
you ever realize how much you have learned from
the paper and how much it has had to do in MAX
ing your work and business a success?
There are many things could do without, but
the newspaper we must have. Long live the editor!
Tie Douglas Herald assures its readers that the
affairs Of Ward county will be carefully and con-
scentiousy looked after" by the board of county
commissioners during the coming two years. The
editor might have added that he hopes the Herald
will be made of the official papers, in payment
for giving Arne and Jens etal. so much tary Oh
we've been there. and if We had continued to tell
of the wonderful ability of our wise board we
might still be eating from the public crib The
board will doubt lend to it's business in a
careful and conscientious" manner. Many a dam
phoo who has been careful and conscent: Gus" has
spent The money of the taxpayers in a wanton man
ner Now that election is over, we're going to
probe into the county commissioners affairs and tell
the readers few things that nave never been in
print
