Editing a NCwSDa aDcr

Editing newspaper is a pleasing
business-if you can stand it.
If subscribers want to bawl out
anybody-the editors the goat.
If the town Is tagging behind
and people won't get out and make
things hunts because the town
paper is OH the bum.
If business is bad-It's because
the editor wants too much money
for his advertising space.
If business is good-advertising
hasn't anything to do with 1t, but
conditions are right.
If we print what pleases people
that IS our duty and we deserve no
credit.
If we PRINT what IS displeasing-
we are a crouch and a crepehanger,
and don't deserve the patronage of
the public.
If we print the news as 1t is actu-
ally--people call US over the phone
and tell Us to stop their paper.
If we garble it-they tell US we
are subsidized by the corporate IN
terests.
Editing a newspapers is pleasing
busiEess-It IS not.

Candidates Must File Pledge

Little Rock. Oct. 25.-Earle w.
Hodges, secretary Of state, has an
nounced that all candidates for state

ed to file pledges to conform with
the corrupt practices act enacted by
the 1918 Legislature before the CON.

quires pledges that the candidates
will abide by the act must be filed, I"
said Mr.. Hodges, "the candidates
for state offices and district offices
filing them with me and candidates
for county of city offices with the
county or city clerks, respectively"
The corrupt practices act requires
all campaign contracts to be in
writing; prohibits the expenditure
OF money or other Inducements to
influence votes IN primary elections
aud requires candidates in such
elections to file accounts of their
campaign expenses within 80 davs
after the elections, in addition to
throwing other provisions around
elections in an effort to prevent
fraud.

Gossip

Gossip! The very name has a
nasty sound. You'll find her sneak

find her leaning over the back fence

She blackens the character of men

She ruins the careers Of young men.
Suppose a man or woman is not as
you are or you may think they
should be. Do you know you are
right? Let other people think as
