I'm MAKING my bow to the peo-
III pie of Elko County ! do so

~
the policy of one of Nevada's prom
inent uaily and weekly newspapers.
| have also been profoundly i'm
pressed with the perspectivefuture
greatness of Elko County and the
entire state % Nevada. With that
idea firmly planted in my mind |
engage in this work with unbound
ed zeal and an enthusiasm which
will not acknowledge the possibility
of defeat. There is no such word
as fail in my vocabulary.
1t will be the policy of the indie
pendent under its present manage
ment to devote its entire ability and
WELD all its influence TO promote the
Public Good Of the entire commun-
ity, regardless of creed, politics
or factions; If there be any.
The editor will always try to dip
his pen in the inkwell instead OF the
gall pot. Personal animosities will
be buried in the gulf of oblivion.
If there is to be any pickering,
fault.fnding and carping criticism,
| shall leave it to other hands than
mine.
| shall ALWAYS be found on the
right side of every question affect
ing the financial. social and moral
standing of the community as a whole
as | see it from my point of view.
While ! shall not constitute my
self as a moral censor | will DO my
best to inculcate good morals,
public decency, good living, good
citizenship and civic righteousness.
| earnestly invite the hearty CO.
operation Of all good citizens re-
gardles of past or present political
utilization to join IN a genuine and
continued effort to boost the good
old County Of Elko until she takes
and retains h + proper place among
the most progressive counties TO he
found in any OF our sister states.
| ask the general public to be fair
in their criticisms toward the c
management. | will appreciate
more than | a tell if you suspend
judgment if you feel inclined to-
ward harsh criticism; on the
other hand if you like the attitude
of The Independent under my man
agoment | will be especially crate
full if you express your gratitude
in a substantial manner with in
creased patronage.
| fully realize that without the
generous support Of the public, all
my hopes and aspirations will come
to naught. ] am firmly of the
opinion that with your hearty CO.

sistance in building up a 'gel-to-
