WHY ALL THE HUBBUBe

In 4 recent issue the Richfield Re-
corder announced that it would here
after be independent in politics. and
about every sheet in this part of the
state has had something to say about
it, some OF the comments being of a
rather sarcastic trend. In the opinion
Of the Pioneer-Record Mr. Lisle
of the Recorder, has made one OF the
wisest moves possible. There is alto
gether too much craftsmanship evil
denced by the press of Idaho. and not
enough of fairness. The partizan pa
pers can see no good in the other fell
low and the spectacle Of paper howl
ing itself hoarse for some party and
running a display advertisement for
the other candidates along side its
gush reminds one of the smell coming
from the dump grounds
For some time the Pioneer-Record
has passed up partizan politics entire
ly. 1t says what it pleases in the edi-
lOIldl COluuHS' uuu IL lAclc 10 duyOAS
who don't like it's utterances they are
at liberty to lump them. The only
way partizan stuff gets into this pa
per is az paid advertising, unless the
party sees fit to make use of the free
space granted to each one, and then 1t
must be stuff concerning the party's
principles, il it has any. and not a lot
of gush for one candidate and against
the integrity OF another.
People have reached point in this
country where they are doing lot Of
thinking for themselyeS-as evidenced
by the returns from the. late election
and the paper which does its own
thinking without any party strings at
tached to 1t, is the one which gains
and holds the respect of the thinking
people.-Rupert Pioneer-Record.
