America holds her proud place

ton. No man can aspire to q higher
honor than to become a capable cjti-
zen, and no one can merit so dis
tinguished a title until he is well in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of cur country.
This is a commercial age and civ
ilization is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jeru8a-
lem for her religion; Greece for bel
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; ChaIdea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the worlds history as pow

PRINTING THE NEWS

We often hear some thOughtIeSS
fellow say: If was running a
paper, would print the news.
| don't care who it might hit.
If they don't want to get into
the paper, let them keep out OF
trouble. y
We remember one particular
instance in which a similar re-
mark was made.
We had, through the pleadings
of an old mother and a fearful
sister, killed" a good story con-
corning the escapade OF a rather
worthless young fellow. But to
his mother and sister he was not
worthless. and they prevailed
upon us not to print the item
which would disgrace them for
ever.
We did not print it.
So we were accused of coward
ice by this certain critic and
were told that we did not know
how to run paper.
In vain we tried to explain that
many things besides our own
personal likes and dislikes enter
into our weekly labor.
1t was no use, he said, we
should print the news.
Six months later the same
man came sneaking up to our
home in the deed of night to
plead and beg with us not to
print a much worse story IN
which he himself was mixed up.
We had the story but had no
intention of publishing it, for it
was one of those things that it is
best for all concerned and for
the public, to suppress.
But our critic had heard that
we knew the details and, with
the unfairness that character
lied his first utterance, at once
jumped to the conclusion that
we would chortle with JOY ever
a chance to flaunt such choice
bit of gossip in the faces of our
readers.
Remembering his attitude on
the other occasion we let him
squirm bit
We reminded him of his former
statement and intimated that he
had at that time opened our
eyes. We would publish the
news. If anyone did not want
to get into the paper, let him
keep out Of trouble. -
He remembered.
He admitted that he had so eX-
pressed himself.
But he was wrong, he SAID.
And this case was different.
Moreover, he was a prominent
man and married and he had
a family and all of the same
stuff that every editor hears
when some one gets into trouble.
Well, the story was not print
ed. 1t never would have been.
But we feel sure that our critic
believes that the only thing that
kept it out was his prominence"
and influence"
No, dear friend, about the
emily element that was totally
ignored in coming to our de
cision was you, yourself.
