The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1911-10-19
FOREWORD

patrons of the Tribune, l deem it but
necessary to say that / have had man!
years experience in work of making
newspaper both in the mechanical
and editorial departments. At this
time I have no elaborate or extensive
plans to promulgate or policies to elu
cidate. Actions speak louder than
words, and if | fail to make good,
shall not have long preamble OF
promises to haunt me.
Briefly then permit me to say that
l shall strive in every possible way to
build up the city of Lynden and the
country tributary thereto The TIL
bune will exert what power it has 1ol
that which it conceives to be best and
denounce what it believes to be bad
l hope to make it a journal that can
be depended upon and reliable IN
every utterance.

glance to the Republican party, it VIII
not follow that party to its full length
il it concludes that such course
would do violence to the opinion OF
great majority of those whom 1t must
look to for moral and financial sup
mort. The Tribune will not be of the
yellow dog" order of partisan publ
cations.
There is much besides politics to en-
gage the attention of the Tribune.
believe that this particular section OF
Whatcom County is within the next
few wears to see a wonderful growth.
Our agricultural resources. in the very
nature of things, must attract wide
spread attention and result in a large
influx of new citizens. 1t will be the
Tribune's effort to aid in the work OF
publicity so necessary.
y
It might be well at this time to EN-
phasize the fact that under the pres
ent management there will be no re-
ligious or disquieting controversies IN
these columns. l want to deal with
the bright things of life. l shall not
take advantage of the paper to abuse
or vilify, or shall l dwell with gloat'
ing upon the distasteful things | may
have to print as news.
In short. l want the Tribune to be
an optimistic medium of your joys and
a true comforter and sympathetic
friend when trouble and bereavement
oyertakes you. l want it to reflect the
best that there is in this community
and to frown upon that which is bad.
y
I have come with my all to this
coming city, believing sincerely in its
future and its people. I want to be-
come one of them right at the start,
to enter into their hopes and to work
with them hand in hand in everything
that will rebound to the public good.
/ have no political axes to grind, no
scheme to exploit, l have come to
LINDEN to build home and to do
DAYS work for the common good.
I deem this is all that is incumbent
upon me to say in personal way
until such time as / become better
acquainted and can talk like one OF
authority. At present l have only
slight speaking acquaintance with
some of my patrons, and they must
first learn through observation wheth'
err am as l represent myself or some
soldier of fortune who has drifted IN
with the tide for the moment l nave
a sincere desire to meet every citizen
Of this valley and l hope soon to es-
tablish relationship which Will MOI
only assure them of the honesty OF
nv intentions, but will also result II
INV being accorded every means OF
support at their hands.
