ENTERING TWENTIETH YEAR.

With it's issue of today the Daily
Light passes into the twentieth year
of its existence. Nineteen years of
continuous service should be a sur
ficient length of time for the testing
out of the foundation on which any
business is established, and now
that after the passing of that time
there is no evidence of crumbling
of those principles which form the
foundation work of this enterprise
We feel safely confident that we are
within the bounds of truth in giving
the assurance that the paper has
just begun it's career as a useful
medium.
As we have previously had occas-
sion to state, the Light has, by NOV
ing along in "the even tenor of It's
way" managed to keep from being
run down by either the procession
of progress or the car of the HUI
guenot as represented by opposition,
and having been temperate In its
preachments and practices the Light
is not, as yet, suffering from any
Of the joints.
Reviewing the past, this news
paper has no regrets to offer either
as to policies that have controlled it |
In a business way or as to its align |
ments on public questions that
have been up for consideration To
be just and honest in our dealings
with our fellow man has been our

This community by its legal rep

betrayed its trust" he said. The
issue, In the mind OF all honest peo-

issue should be speedily tried without

the guilty punished to the limit OF

thing that the Just public sentiment
OF Detroit demands. Toward this end
the machinery of law should move
with swift and sure precision. And
common sense and common decency
alike say this Is one issue. And all
the community, with its every power,
should back the bringing Of this issue
TO it's fianality.
Are we doing that? No, We are

for that, he sees something else. He

eyes OF the whole community. IL is a
shameful and belittling spectacle,
against which all good citizens cry
out with Indignation.
And there il grave danger that
between these squabblings OF press

allowed to go scot free.
