The Tribune has many friends IN
and around Lynden. All others are
welcome, thrice over, to the same at
tention and notice that we give to
Tribune friends. But, when you ex-
meet fayors from the Tribune don't
treat it as IL It was the least impor-
tant thing in town, for the Tribune
has a better opinion of itself than
that. And, as human nature will not
forever turn the other cheek, neither
will a newspaper for its individuality
cannot be maintained forever at a
higher standard than the Individual
ity of the person who controls 1t.
This is said in all kindness. II 1t
cannot be taken that way we are sor-
nv. But, when our readers stop 10
think 1t over-to put themselves IN

1t is the little things of life that
count. Many men figure that when
they get as we'll off as Carnegie that
they will do something grand for
some friend, or for their school or
their town. When the writer was sick
recently, a certain business man
never missed a week without calling
on us. Another business man dropped
in since we got out and explained
the matter that prevented him from
doing the same. Do You suppose we
or any other human with heart that
beats, doesn't appreciate such atten-
tions. Last week friend dropped in
to the Office when we were very busy;
called us to one side. and compliment
ed us on the proceeding issue of the
Tribune. Do You konw that such
Things count more than a 20 foot
monument after we are dead.
What do you think about the Ball
niger hearing, anyhow? Has he prov
en- himself clear of the charges made
by CLAWS and PinchOt? We believe
the American people have awakened
to where they are not satisfied that
a man is innocent just because he has
powerful friends adm calls his accus-
ers liars. Are we not right?
Bellingham boys may be faster than
any ether boys in this county, but
Lynden boys are swifter than the
Bellingham boys.

The Tribune doesn't want to be

The right honorable Jim Ashton, of
Tacoma, and quite as we'll known at
home by the name Slippery Jim" is
a candidate for the United States
Senate. He is out with an announce

drawal Of Mccormick and signifying
his willingness to fill the breach. I'm

candidate had to do was to convince
a bunch of cheap John legislators
that he was fright" we suspect that

Mr.. Ashton didn't notice that the
breach Mr.. Mccormick left when he
pulled out of the race wasn't very
arge-or. maybe he did notice 1t
and concluded 1t was about his size.
