Good Local Paper Entitled 10 Support

Western Publisher,
1t is indeed reflection on the peo-
pie ofany county or community when
they fail to back with all their might
the local newspaper, which gives
LEGAL news which larger papers can
not possibly give and informs the
outside world OF the progress and
prosperity of the locality in which
the paper is published. When the
local paper is not supported, there is
unques tionably absent in the COM
munity that spirit which makes com
munities thrive and swels villages
into towns and towns into cities.
Public spirit ought to be behind the
local press, for the local newspaper is
the chief and, often, the sole adver-
tising asset of the community III
Which it is published. Any man who
has the courage and the energy and
the constructive purpose to start a
local newspaper ought to have at
least the loyalty and the material as
sistance of the people in the midst OF
whom he lives aud works for a mere
pittance

Democratic Idea of the Representative

Commoner.
The democratic idea of representa-
tive government does not mean that
the representative shall efface him
self; it means that he shall keep faith
with those from whom he derives
power; but If the representative has
to choose between effacing himself
and effacing his constituents, he had
better efface himself, for it is more
important that his constituents shall
have proper representation than
that he shall crafty himself by do
ing for them what they do not want
done, or by doing in their name that
against which they protest. While
he acts for himself he can act as he
pleases, but when he becomes a rep
resentative he acts not as an indi-
yidual, but as a spokesman for a
large number of individuals, eacS one
as important as himself and each one
having conscience. an opinion and
rights that must be respected.
There are but two kinds of govern
ment, government by the .naiority
and government by the minority.
Millions of lives have been expended
in the purchase of popular govern
ment and they have been expended in
vain if those elected by the people
can disregard the wishes of those
who elected them.

A Politica; Scheme Shown Up.

The latest effort of the opposition
forces is to get as many county
elections held before the calling ,of
the regular state primary as posi-
BILE, thereby cutting down the in
terest and vote in the latter, and
weakening Vardaman, if possible
That such scheme is being tried.
and that too, in every instance, by
asprants for county offices favoring
an opposition candidate against Var
daman, is we'll known. In Madison
and Washington counties petitions
we're circulated to have the county
candidates elected or defeated. salts
fed or dissatisfied, before the state
election, thus freeing them and their
supporters to work for whatever
state candidates they choose, with
out crippling their own chances of
election. Such an attempt is inno-
cent on the surface, but it carries
with it deep. dark and scheming
meaning.
