In looking over the different
papers of the county, we fail to-
find either the state, congress
sional or county tickets at the
mastheads. It may be that the
different political committees ex.
pect the papers to carry lot of
political advertising for the fun
of it, but we are of the opinion
that if any political advertising
is done in the newspapers it will
have to be paid for. And it
should. There is no more rea-
SON for newspaper men to tear
their shirts off in an endeaVor to
elect some fellow to Office than
in some other man doing the same
thing. We do not know that it
augurs we'll for the public good
for a paper to advocate the cleo
ton of any man---much less give
up a lot of space to a lot of fell
lows who want Office, but are not
willing to pay for the space used
in boosting them for Office.
Space is the printers stock IN
trade. If he gives it away he is
a consummate fool, for the space
costs him money.
