THE IDEAL NEWSPAPER

Occasionally it becomes the duty
:, Of a practical editor to give the
4; very intelligent and Impractical
people who are always demanding
an ideal newspaper very common
sense reason why it will never be
published. F.. -
And the reason is based on a
few questions like these, says the
Boston Globe: ~.
Has anybody ever seen or heard
of an ideal minister? "
Has anybody ever seen or heard
Of an ideal college president?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
Of an ideal doctor?
Has anybody ever seen or heard
Of an ideal banker?
Has anybody ever seen Of heard
of an ideal merchant?
We are decidedly Of the opinion
that a loud and emphatic mo" is
the answer to each question.
Why?
Because the Representatives of
the callings named are all human,
with the usual number of virtues
and faults. And editors, being
human, are III the same class.
Therefore, when the world is
peopled by angels and the news
papers are controlled by arch
angels. we shall see the ideal news
paper, and not until then. n...

GLAD OF II

Everybody's Almanack, under
date of August 18th, Monday,
states: Theodore Roosevelt ap-
proves of solar system 1912"
We think a statement of the
inside history that bears on this
subject will demonstrate that the
editor of the Almanack has made q
slight error. If he stated that
Roosevelt "improved" the solar
system, no one would dare dispute
1T. Some years ago, when the
desire of Investigating and
regulating" was at it's heighr,
there was a well-defined rumor
that a bill was to be brought before
congress authorizing the appoint
ment of commission "to in.
vestigate the solar system and to
regulate the stars in their courses. "
1t soon became known thtat it was
the desire of Roosevelt to under
take this job alone without any aid
from congress, consequently no
action was taken in the matter.
We presume this anno Inccment
would indicate that Roosevelt had
finished the job The sun, moot
and stars have been tending to
business pretty regularly lately,
and we are glad to know to whom
the credit for this is due. FIX.

GOOD PROFIT FROM
RAISING ALFALFA SEED

j. F. Holland of this valley is
going to have fine crop of alfalfa
seed this season, so he reports, and
there are others who are raising
alfalfa for the seed in this valley.
In fact. the business was quite a
revenue producer for a number of
farmersiof the valley last season.
There is considerable more money
in raising seed than in any other
use that can be made of alfalfa.

Holland had threshed from seven

Twenty years ago, when Theo-

for the first time. the conditions
were infinitely more rotten than
they had ever been before. He
took every advantage of the con-
dition as they existed then and
played the game of poIitics accord

Platt, and he continued to play the
game under the rule as revised by
Ben Odell, both of them. the most
striking types of bosses that have
appeared in politics in the United
States. In those days and since
until only few months ago, Roose-
welt was the beneficiary of the
rotten system as carried on by the
Old Guard and the Black Horse
Cavalry.

 It is the salvation of nation
 Show me land where the home has ceased to mean the abode of harmony love, and has become stopping place between social duties and will show you a decadent nation.
 Just what constitutes ideal home? It is worth your while to think it over.
 It is not place which is provided for family by remitting toll by the father
 not place where mother spends her days slav ing for the rest of the family.
 It is not place where the children make demands mother and father while making return.
 home worthy of the is where justice regns
 Think that over. How many men strictly just in their relations to their families? How many women are fair in their dealings with those about them? How many children play the game with strict observation of the rules of '' give and take?''
 Fathers who either tyranize or are overndugent by turns-mere money getters-mothers who naggng household rudges and children steeped in selshness found every side.
 We are fond ofsaying that love makes home do believe is the potent factor for real happiness
 Love may exact savsh obedience, and make sorry drudges of even the best beloved
 Mo- it is not love that is the foundation of the happy home-it is justice first-and then love.
 Both to ideal conditions but love be left out rather than justice.
