faction that the Globe announces
this week the purchase of the Stand
ard-News plant, subscription list and
good will, and the latter is not the
transferred. The proprietors of the
two republican papers have always
been on the best of terms and 1t is
pleasure to be able to state that
that feeling still continues.
There is not and never has been
any justification for two republican
papers in Grangeville, any more than
for two democratic papers, and the
latter, so far as we know, has never
even been seriously contemplated,
while one after another of competing
republican organs have sprung up
only to be swallowed up or to swal-
low up the other. There is some
thing wrong back of this that should
and must be adjusted. This excess
of papers has worked a great hard
ship on the merchants of our little
city, who are enterprising, liberal ad-
vertisers, and who have protested
against this imposition on their lib
erality, as well as on the republicans
of the county and the proprietors of
the papers. One good live paper is
worth half dozen half starved
sheets and that is what the Globe
proposes to give Grangeville and Ida
ho county as soon as present plans
can be executed These contemplat-
ed improvements which were to have
Immediately followed the installing
of our new linotype machine have
only been held back by the protract-
ed illness of the editor, who hopes
soon to be in the harness again.
The Globe is not factional paper,
either politically of locally, which
fact it wants distinctly understood,
but has faith in Grangeville, Idaho
county and republican principles and
will always be found pushing the
claims of all three to the best of
it's ability.
This consolidation Of the two pa
pers will give the Globe a bonifide
circulation double that of any other
paper in Idaho county and will cost
the advertiser proportionately much
less than It was costing him while
both papers were running, to place
his wares before the buying public.
This is an item to be joyfully hailed
and most seriously considered by
every business man of the commun-
ity and from frequent statements
made to us in the past, we know 1t
will be.
To the subscribers of the Stand
ard-News we wish to state that we
will send the Globe to you instead,
hoping that this may prove satisfac-
tory and that you may become as
warm friends and faithful supporters
of the latter as you have been of
the former. But should any be dis
satisfied with this arrangement, we
request that you notify us at once.
All advanced subscriptions will be
continued to date of expiration from
this office. The book accounts not
having been transferred to US, we
having nothing to do with the col
lection of arrearages, which will be
found at the First National Bank in
Grangeville. Please bear this in
mind.
There will be further announce
ment of adjustment of subscription
rates to relieve the discrepancy ex-
listing in the price of the two papers,
as well as other matters, in the very
near future, all of which we think
will be satisfactory. Hoping for the
best of results to come from this
business change, and that the Globe
may soon find friendly welcome in
every home in Idaho county, we are,
Most sincerely,
THE GLOBE PRINTING CO.
