EDITORIAL

AS stated in personal conversation
with some of the supervisors. we
favored Greene county purchasing
a road working machine outfit.
Whether the Supervisors have dis
played the best wisdom in the kind
they got and the price they paid is
beyond us to say. That's matter
for their judgement and they have
acted We believed that machine
power OF the PROPER kind would be
more economical than mule power,
whict proposition stands to reason,
and is a progressive move where the
equipment selected is the practical
thing needed, and demonstration
for sixty days has been had on the
outfit bought.

The Herald is bit surprised that
some papers in the state that have
done so, have spoken in opposition
to the Anti-LiQuor Advertising bill
OF course they have been few in
number, but where our surprise
comes in is that some of the papers
that had dropped out such ad yertis-
ing either out of Difference to the
state having put liquor selling under
the ban or from conscientious scru-
pies, is to see that some of the adj
verse criticism of such bill came
from any Of the papers in that atti-
tude. Naturally we expected to
see those newspapers which so love
iucre that they held on to liquor ad-
vertisng in spite of the tendency of
the times to make the liquor traffic
come more and more under restric-
tions which have for their ultimate
object its utter overthrow Well
there is certain leading daily news
paper in the state. namely the Jack
son News, which takes liquor ads,
AID it yields such "a strong influence
with few weeklies about in spots
over the state as to make them cross
themselves so to speak, on this prop
oSitiun.

such literary enterprise launched

have weathered the storms and come
safely through. namely, Hollands
