Like hundreds of others-and
more especially your host OF read
ers throughout Lincoln, Casey, and
adjoining cOunties-where he is so
well and favorably knOwn-rejOlce
that Ed Walton is back with his
first love.
We noted an improvement In the
very first issue, and will confidently
look forward to further improve
ments from time to time. Without
oiscomting the abilities of Brer.
Saufley we can say We have missed

Interior Journal. The writer for
one realizes that the production of
semi weekly publication like the
InteriOr-JOu1nal is no one mans
/ work, and Brother Saufey has had
his hands full an6 more.
The writer has always taken more
than a passing interest IN the L. j.
When nothing more than a snOtty
! nosed, freckled faced, barefoot kid
in cottonade knee pants barely In
our teens-and with couple of
stone bruises as setting-we began
chronicling the news from the estate
of Casey" for the Interior-Journal,
and for several years We contribu-
ted ON an average of fifty-two news

There was but ,one other correspond

pen and in a most entertaining style.
We have contributed articles to the
!. j. from many states and from
many foreign lands and various

years past we have contributed lit

T, Toastie fame would put it-"there's
reason" For some eight years l
have been an employee of Uncle Sam
under the strict rules and regula-
tiOns of the United States Civil
Service. As such an employee | am
forbidden to express myself too
| freely along political lines. Those
amiliar with my cOgitations of by
gone days will easily understand.
Enough said.
But-while / have not been con-
tributor to the l. j., and rural press
during the past few years, neverthe-
less i have been frequent contrib
utor to the metropolitan, trade and
feature publications. While it is
true that l am in the game for the
pittance | receive, at the same time
7 have never reached the point
where | was willing to lose my lden-
tity with the craft. Grinding ont
copy or the general run of repOrto-
rial work like printers ink" is hard
to get rid of, and we have never
made a serious effort to divorce our
self.
