churches are just about the last place
to go these days. 1t is simply a great
big pious grating machine. The
preacher is preaching for money, the
women going to church to show their

they are made to go, the Office seeker

The Hired Man received a letter
this week from Editor Shorb OF the
Caldwell News, calling attention to
the fact that the Hired Man owes him
something for subscription to the
News. The debt does not amount to
very many dollars but the editor
states that he has very many folks
owing him these little sums. In fact
these little sums amount to 100000
all told. The Hired Man can guess
just how Mr.. Shorb's letter will be
received by different people. Here is
a man who believes in a square DEAL
he understands what a paper means
to the community, he has read the
hundreds of little items each week
telling of the doings of all the people
in all the school centers and cross
roads all over the region for twenty
miles, he has kept in touch with the
outside world through the larger items
In the News, he has read Mr.. Shorb's
editorials on every subject from the
creation of Orion and how the axle
was put in it, all the way down to
how the spider knows when he is cold,
he has seen the accounts of births.
marriages and deaths, divorces, quar-
rels, tights, convictions and imprison-
ments: he digs up a check and pays
what he justly owes the paper. Here
is another man: IL never subscribed
for that sheet in the first; would like
to see him get this debt; 1t is too
little for him to sue, and he will no,
publish list of the delinquents and
he can stop it any time he wants to
and besides the law says he shall moi
send it more than a year unless he
gets his pay, and so let him send al
the statements he wants to-" Their,
are just two classes of people who
take county home paper.
Your Hired Man heard a man com
planning the other day because auto,
had to pay a license for right to run
IN this county. A drayman was com
planning because he had to pay license
. A young man thought it an imposition
because he had to secure a marriap
: license. A man thought it an evil da,
to have to pay poll tax. 1t was take
here and licenses there and expense
there until freeman had a notion I,
go somewhere else. The autos in tn
