The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-12-30

was unethical-and do you think there
has been an inch card of any kind in
the paper from any Emporia doctor
since? More than that, just to show
that we like to crawl on our tummy,
when the society decided that it was
unethical to print the names of doc
tors in connection with any case-we
crawled. You haven't seen any doc
tors name since. The subscribers are
denied the news, the business office is
denied the simoleons, and the paper
generally is used as a doormat, for
the further glory of the Lord-prob-
ably.
That, however, is a small matter.
Every paper has corked up in it bit
ter, burning wrongs, which it never
airs. Some day, when the time comes,
we propose to get out a special edi-
ton, and for once in long and use
less career, tell the truth about graft
ing church workers who think that
in the advertising of their entertain
ment, to steal and cheat and graft for
the Lord is pious act; in that edition
we propose to tell how many dollars
the various busted fair associations
owe US for advertising which never
was paid for; how many men the Ga
zette has supported for Office who
went around declaring that the Ga
zette did them more harm than good;
how many times we have got behind
the town-booming propositions, vast
ed our time and space and good black
ink and white paper and in the end
had lot of ivory-handled chumps
hold lodge of sorrow over a typo
graphical error, and moan about the
! fact that the Gazette never does get
anything right.
Some day, "some blessed day." when
| the mists are cleared away, we hope
! to be able to print paper that will
! tell the truth about quack preachers
and all the gorgeous hypocrisy of the
Internal, mechanical clap-trap done in
the name of the Lord. Heaven knows
the Gazette is ashamed of it's various
piano contests, and we hope we'll have
the moral courage to turn down the
alluring temptation the next time il
comes around. But we do hate to see
piano contest run in the name of re-
| ligion, and sometime we're going tc
take day off and say So. And while
we're saying we're going to print the
truth about at least one phase of the
woman question. The people are get
ting tired of the use of the phrase
white slave, as applied to some shame.
less old hen who gets caught in q
commercial liason with man. We're
sending lot of men to Jail, and es
tablishing a kind of double standard
in favor of the women. A woman nov
can do lot of things for which a mar
has to go to Jail. The weemin in some
of the white slave cases that have
come up recently should go to Jail
also-that is, if anyone should go t.
! Jail, which is a debatable question
The Gazette is pretty nearly ready t.
cut out the use of the words, "whitt
slave" altogether.
That is about all; it's at least
enough. Otherwise, this is a pretty
decent universe. Most men pay then
debts, love their wives, are fair will
their neighbors and serve the Lord il
a reasonably acceptable fashion. Mos
institutions are as good as the people
that live under them. This is goot
town, and of the 12,345 people wht
live here, 1894 are good citizens ant
the other one isn't always SO grouchy.
So with these few remarks, ant
hoping this will find you the same, W,
remain yours truly until death do u
part, and by way of postscript will
say this, that having it out of ou
system we feel lot better.-Empori;
Gazette.
