Think It Over.

The weekly newspaper promo
tes the interests of the town in
which it it published to such an
extent that it becomes impossible
to place an estimate upon its
worth. There is no enterprise
that does so much for the corpo-
ration or the individual citizen as
the paper. 1t stands opposed to
the town knocker, the town kick
er, the town fanatic and the town
drones. 1t stands for action as
against dry rot. 1t stands for
progress as against stagnation.
1t is ever ready to combat the
schemes of visionaries and as rea
dy to aid the constructive plans
of the wise and level-headed citi-
zens. 1t is for the upbuilding of
the community. The paper has
not yet come into its own, how
ever, becauseit is never appre-
ciated to the extent of its worth
by the people at large. Yet when
battles are to be fought for town
or county a rush is made to the
newspaper Office always to find
the loyal editor ready, frequent
ly without hope orreward. Many
other enterprises are encouraged
by a bonus, but rarely is the
newspaper offered any such help
and still more often not given the
support it is entitled to. Com
munities frequently lose sight of
their real benefactor when they
fail to recognize the weekly jour-
nal as such. The editor and his
paper stand as the bulwarks of
defense against the attacks of
evil or designing schemes affect
ing the good of the individual or
the town. For these and other
reasons the newspapers of the
town and county should receive
the support of the public at large
in a very liberal degree, for it is
really the most important busi-
ness enterprise of the community.
