The Policy Of the
Records News Columns

The Record has been frequently
commended for its policy regarding
its news columns communications
and controversies. We have heard
this mentioned several times recently.
ana what pleazos US most is that our
policy has been approved even by
scue who have handed in articles and
had them declined
We have but one reason for deciih-
ing most ihings. that is lack OF space
The Record IS trying to give sss
readers a live little Newspaper. We
are succeeding fairly we'll We are
giving Canon city the best newspaper
in the state considering the volume
OF business II enjoys. II would not
be difficult matters to get out even
a better paper than this The getting
up OF the paper is not the difficult
thing-the real difficalt thing in city
of this character is to get out a good
daily newspaper and not lose hun
dreds OF dollars a month on IL
So our effort Is to get out the best
paper possible under the circum-
stances-with the funds In hand. OR
columns Of type set matter are nee

constant aim to make these few col
