The nome Paper.

How many country newspa-
pers. daily or weekly, are there
that could live six months if they
had to depend upon the income
derived from subscriptions. Very
few of them could make ex-
penses. They must depend up
on their advertising and job
work.
Yet some people are unreas-
enable enough to complain that
there are too many advertise
ments in the paper, and others
care so little for the welfare of
the local papers as to send their
job printing out Of town.
What is a local newspaper? 1t
is board of trade, a trumpet of
the towns advantages. a history.
1t is a policeman, a chaperon, a
defender of your rights and a
board of health.
1t is an honest adviser, if in
the hands of an honest man. 1t
warns you against frauds. 1t
rejoices with you when you are
glad and mourns with you when
you need comforter. 1t is the
guardian angel of your moral,
intellectual and physical health.
It sticketh closer than a brother
Do you help to support your
home newspaper?-Ex.

As To Church. Going.

Rev. George A. Thayer, Unita-
rian and pastor of the church in
Cincinnati where the president
worships, is of the opinion, ex-
pressed in a sermon delivered at
Manchester, Mass, that there is
a law compelling the president
of the United States to attend
church services on Sunday. Said
DR.. Thayer:
'The reason for this law for
it comes next to being a law
that the president must attend
church, is not far to seek. Sup
pose the president never went to
church at all. 1t would not be
long before all the country would
be up in arms because the head
of the nation was either an IN
fidel or wholly unfit for his high
position, while the other half of
the church-going population
would think that if the chief ex-
ecutive did not see fit to attend
services certainly it would not be
incumbent upon them to do so. -
True, true. Most true. But
what do God-fearing, church-go-
ing, christian people think of a
president who goes to church and
blasphemes God by believing
that Jesus Christ was a good
man, without a spark of divinity
about him, and that he was in
reality either a son of Joseph or
an illegitimate child?
That is what president Taft
thinks-for that is the opinion of
all Unitarians. Glasgow Times.

The fertilizer problem is a very

to get it? Well-rotted stable

Tainted News"

Once more the Time worn
effort is being made to send
tainted news" throughout the
country. For years past big cor
porations have flooded the coun-
try with tainted news" but
the newspaper owners at last
awakened to the true condition,
and the work of a press agent
has been given a decided set
back.
The rulers of Wall street have
time and again tried to buy news
papers in various parts of the
country with the idea of direct
ing public influence along the
channels the might select.
This proved to be an expensive
plan, but it has been carried on
time without number.
Recently a story was circulat-
ed, first in Chicago and then sent
broadcast, that Rockefeller and
Morgan interests had secured
the control of the Chicago Tri-
bune. The Tribune paid no at
tention to the report for weeks,
but at last announced on the
editorial page that the Tribune
was not for sale.
In the publication of a modern
newspaper independence and in
tegrity are the two primal neces-
sary assets, and each must be
conductive with the other.
Capital is here a minor asset.
This is a living world, and the
life of it is independent thought.
Day by day the common schools
and the daily press are teaching
the people to think and to value
the source whence arises their
daily food for thought.
Over and over again the Stan
dard Oil money has tried to d.
rect public opinion. Standard
Oil money controlled every news
paper in Montana but one and
went down to defeat before that
one.
Capital does not talk, gold is
voiceless. and there are reasons
in the very constitution Of the
universe why this should be so.
The elder Rockefeller under
stood it more than all his asso-
ciates and almost never replied
to any of his critics. He let his
works follow him. But members
of the firm of ]. P. Morgan &
Co., have always had an itching
desire to be behind the press, put
ting money and support first be-
hind one publisher and then
another.
The press power of the house
of Morgan twenty-five years ago
was tremendous, yet unseen.
Not many years ago there We're a
dozen Wall street publications
that carried the advertisements
of Morgan & Co., at handsome
rates and were argued with" as
to their course concerning Nor
gan securities and the support or
criticism they had given thereto
when it came time to pay the
bill.
Wall street was shocked and
Mortified when the big New
York metropolitan dallies put
Morgan into their cartoons and
was astounded when papers like
the New York World criticised
