Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1910-09-09

ual or Clique, pollucal or otner-
wise, neither can nor viii it ever
be as long as the names now ap-
pearing as publishers occupy the
position that they do at the top
of the columns of the paper.
Let that be understood, and fur
thermore, the success that the
Globe has attained has not been
purchased at q sacrifice of its
principles, but on the contrary
such success has been won by an
adherance to a policy that right
is might, and our personal con.
victions and adherence to the
rights and welfare Of the entire
people have been the factors that
have made US an influence for
good not only in Condor but
throughout Gillian County and
Eastern Oregon rs we'll.
Because we are opposed to the
assembly plan of political action
does not signify that we hold an
imosity against the friends of
that movement. On the con-
trary we are broad and charit-
able enough in our views to grant
to its followers every right guar
anteed them under the law. But
we are opposed to their plan be-
cause we believe that the action
the assembly advocates is
detrimental to the welfare of
the general public, and holding
such an opinion we are fighting
tooth and nail to fasten the BAN
ner of success to the bandwag-
on of the Insurgents, while we,
ourselves, occupy a seat in the
same vehicle.
But with political defeat star
ing you in the face we can only
say, do not worry, dear old pet
rified fossil of a prehistoric age,
let not your diminishing subscrip-
ton list disturb your peace of
mind. Your readers are no
doubt raving at your imbecilic
utterances and are now taking
your gathered in the gloom"
locals as a remedy that work
while they sleep" But dear
brother, keep smiling; there is a
field in The Sahara's broad ex-
panse for the political scope you
seek aud for a publication such
as you are capable of issuing and
you could easily build up a Glen
tele among the silent Sphinx,
who would willingly follow your
political van and be dumb to
your futile attempts at present
day journalism.
We can cheerfully pass over
the statement of the Times in re-
ference to its assembly candi-
dates -gratuitous service TO the
unfortunate that is a matter
that is we'll known to, not only
the Globe, but to the entire COM
munity as well. Lawyers prac-
ticing without pay! Ye Gods!
What next? The day of free le-
gal advice disappeared behind
the mountain of legal tender be-
fore the back-number scribe of
the Times editorial staff saw the
light of day. AS for the Globe,
we are conducting a paper to
make money pure and simple :
the welfare of the community is
a secondary consideration, let
this be understood and any COM
mercial or professional man or
woman who speaks the truth con-
cerning his or her line of busi-
ness will answer amen" to the
same question. The columns of
the Globe are open to all the ad-
vertising columns to those who
can and wilt pay fake, medicine
ads, etc. excepted and the news
columns to those who wish to
discuss politics or present the
news of the community. Every
faction has access to its space
but self-scheming politicians and
those who have an axe to grind
for their own private gain are ex-
pected to and must come down
with the cold, hard cash and their
notices are marked in a manner
to designate that they are paid
for a mark that any practical
newspaper man can easily dis
tinguish but which our ancient
relic of a discarded almanac per-
iod is unable to notice owing to
the fact that his vision is impair
ed from the veil of cobwebs wov-
