RUNNING A PAPER.

Running newspaper is just like
running hotel, only different. When
man goes into q hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well hardly He. sets thar
dish to one side and wades into the
many dishes that suit him. II is Diff
srens with some newspaper readers
They find an article occasionally that
does not suit them exactly and without
stopping to think 1t msy please hun
dreds OF other readers, make a grand
stand play and tell the editor how the
paper should be run and what should
be put into it. But such people are
becoming fewer every year.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY
FOR THE SMALL TOWNS

Did II ever occur to you that
Uncle Sam was discriminating in
his mail service? Well, did you
ever think about 1t at all? Just on
the outside OF Pennington, or per-
haps there may be some within the
city limits for all we know, that
have their mail brought to their
very doors. And, again there are
folks that live away out in the
country who enjoy the same SER
vice. But right here in Farming
ton, we who may happen to live
even as far rs mile away from the
Post Office must come down to the
office In order to get our mail, just
because the town does not just ex-
Hctly meet some requirements that
have been established by our Uncle
Samuel. 1t would seem it would be
practically impossible to deliver
every mans mail ut his door, but
on further reflection 1t would appear
as II Uncle Samuel was not delivering
mail to every mans door as it would
seem he could. Surely the citizens
Of city the size Of Pennington are
entitled to as good a service as citi.
zens OF town thousand more in
population. Just because there hap
ems to be only three thousand people
in our city Is no reason that we
should be denied tree delivery mail
service.
In keeping with the above, Repre-
sentative Bailey recently delivered Il
speach in the House of Representa-
tives, aud also introduced II bill
before that honorable assembly
authorizing the establishment of u
free mail delivery service in all
towns ms much as one thousand
population or more. Should such
