The newspaper that works for
the welfare of city, county. state

front in any and every emergen-
cy for the benefit of the people,
that fights many a battle for all
citizens, certainly has the right
to expect the support of the peo-

ing. by all concerned, always
we'll in mind, that such support
by no manner of means implies
any tacit agreement as to news
paper influence.
And coming right down to
brass tacks along that same line,
there are some business men
right here in Butte whu like to
pat their home newspaper on the
back and praise it when it is
making some fight which happens
to benefit their welfare, and who,
without the home newspaper thus
to fight fos them, would stane as
helpless as those persons in ques-
ton always eaue in other contin-
gencies, but who, for small, pet
ty reasons, drawn back from the
support of the newspaper which
unselfshlv and vigorously can
and does do them the most good,
There are some persons who
continually pirate Of wanting JUS
tlce from a newspaper, and if
they would give the subject free

they would find that the news
