THE COUNTRY EDITORIAL.

Many editors of small papers re-
fuse to give their readers editorials
on the ground that editorials are for
the large city papers and the public
does not care for the views of the
country editor.
AS a matter of face, the views of
the rural population are really reflect
ed by the editorials of the large city
papers, which CLEAN them from the
The sound thought of the country is
to be found in the rural districts.
Here, in the more or less quiet of the
country, men and women read and
study and gather data which results
in conclusions founded on solid
basis. Sometimes this thought may
be biased by the enthusiasm aroused
by the impractical reformer or self
ish politician who runs OF at tan
gent wit, some new rad or ism, +"
but generally such fads are short

therefore, has a duty to perform in
crystalizing this thought and sending
it out to the world as the contribu-
ton of his section of the country to
the agitation of the day. The coun-
try editor, usually is a comparatively
poor man, but he has sand and inde-
pendence and a pride of work rarely
found in other professions. More
over. he is brought into closer per-
sonal contact with his constituency
than the editor of the big city papers.
1t is safe to say that never before
in the history of journalism have edi-
torials been more widely or more
carefully read. not, perhaps as in the
old days. to base an opinion on the

Penny Wise, Pound Foolish.

Exchange
1t is really strange the way some
people will scrape and economizc
to save penny in some ways ana
turn right around and waste dollars
in others. They leave wagons. and
buggies, and all sorts of machinery
out in the weather from one years
end to another. apparently never
giving thought to the fact that
every day of inclement weather
causes a distinct deterioration IN
the value and usefulness of the ar
ticle or vehicle in question. Take
a walk around town and you will see
wheelbarrows, axes. garden tools,
and many other things out in the
weather. all corroding with rust and
wearing out from neglect. And every
time you see this you see a man who
is economizing in one way and
throwing his money TO the birds in
another
