fully stand.
AS has always been the case,
the Record will continue to en-
deavor henceforth to deal fairly by
its many readers in all parts ofthe
county on matters touching the
public good. 1t is only through
experience that we are enabled
to progress. The present editor
of the Record took over its abso-
lutte control when but twenty-six
years of age, four years less than
that of the newspaper itself. 1t
is not strange, therefore, that
mistakes may have been made
and many Of them at that. We
pride ourselves, however, on
having convinced the majority of
our readers on our honesty of
purpose and our absolute indie
pendence. To onlyapne body Of
men do we, owe allegiance as a
newspaper--and that is our large
list of readers. And our readers
number many more than our ac.
tual subscribers. 1t :sWas only
last week that we had the plea
sure of reading an excerpt from
a Record editorial in a published
letter by a man who TO our
knowledge never took The Record
in his life. There have been
other similar instances to prove
this point.
Our policy on public matters is
so well known, as to- require no
comment. It has always spoken
for itself. In a business way,
There have been many changes
with the change of management.
With the progress of the world,
so does the rules Of business pro.
gress and the Record manage
ment has found it advisable to
put its affairs on as neara bus
iness-like basis as possible similar
to many other lines Of endeavor.
Occasionally We have found a
subscriber who felt that these
rules were unnecessarily harsh.
However, for everyone that took
such aview there fave been a
hundred who respected and up
held the more business-like rulus.

With this issue the Record be-
gins its thirty-third year. Start
ing at Williamsport in the days
when the entire population Of
the county was not much more
than the present total of its
county seat, the Record has kept
pace with the growth of the
community and the local pros
perity is mirroted in that Of the
publication. Like all institutions
and lines of business, the Record
has had its ups and downs. Dur.
ing the Records career there
have been three decided efforts
toput it out of business on the
part OF those who did not fancy
its policy. These have as often
proved unsuccessful.
With the change of ownership
January l. 1914, the policy of the
Record changed in some respects
but its policy has at all times
been founded on that of honesty
which accounts in a large meas.
ure for its success. Its original
publisher followed the custom of
commenting without fear or ia
vor on all matters of public good.
The present publisher was prac.
tically born and raised in that at
mosphere, and it is not strange
that the Record should be con-
tinued along the same line. Just
as no two people can be expected
to think alike, so it could not be
expected that there would be
like views on all public matters
on the part of the original and
the present publishers. Thirty
or thirty-tWo years is a long time
and the paths of public thought
are likely to become changed.
That which appeared tobe for
the best back in the SOS when
the country was but a frontier
prairie could readily be looked
upon in q different light today.
While the friends of this news
paper may have changed here
and there as the years rolled by,
it is a matter Of deep pleasure
that it still holds a high place in
the estimation OF the greater
share Of its readers. Many Of
these aIemenwho have supported
the Record with equal zeal both
under the present and former
management. With a wide vari-
ance in many Of the propositions
supported by it during the years
of its existence, it must be adj
mitted that the common plane Of
honesty and straight forward
ness is that upon which this
class Of men have been able to
find II. And such a foundation
is the only one upon which Al

times to meet our financial obi
cations: that we might be enabled
to pay our way, in other words.
We have never followed the
practice Of somesnewspapers of
using unethical means in an at
tempt to secure subscribers. The
man who deposited his dollar and
ahalf in the Record till could
rest assured that his neighbor
was doing likewise if he too Sc
cured the paper. We know that
in occasional cases persons have
been prevailed upon to stop their
Record when its time expiredps.s,
cause they had been given h.
other publication free in the in.
term on condition that they
change when the time expired.
The Record endeavors to
cover the news field peculiar to a
country newspaper with zeal. It
has been the aim sof the present
management to get the paper to
its readers on time and with reg
ularity. They are entitled to re-
ceive that for which they paid
and one Of those things is regular
service. Only unforeseen acct
dents can delay the Record each
week and only once under the
present management has there
been delay.
Our advertising rates are even
lower than the circulation war
rants and yet they are higher
than those charged in COMPETE
ton. Nevertheless, we have
been able to maintain those rates
and our advertising patronage
attests in the strongest manner
possible to the general sentiment
relative to this paper as an adj
vertising medium.
This is our birthday greeting
to our readers and we conclude
the same by assuring them all
that the Record will be continued
as a fearless, conscientious expo
nent Of those principles upon
which progressive common
wealth should be founded if it is
to continue progressive. To
those many people who have
made i possible for us to pros
per while conducting the publ
cation along such lines, we offer
our most sincere thanks.

Inc Record man IS informed.
that an organizer for the Nom
Partisan League who was at
Temvik exclaimed, upon reading
our last weeks editorial on the
League convention, that he
wished these newspapers would
get off the fence and either be
for them or against them" In
fact, these organizers would like
nothing better than to have the
newspapers fay the new political
scheme strong enough that the
common sense expressed might
be lost sight of in the cry that
the newspapers were trying to
help keep the farmers down by
hindering them from organic,
ing" Fact is, they have every
right in the world to organize
and to exclude all other lines of
business in their political DELHI
erations, but there isn't any very
good reason why they should
create about fifty or sixty soft
snaps for a bunch of nonresident
! professional agitators.
I rr
The organizers may believe in
turning the state over to social
ism and making its people pay
so much per head for the priv
ilege. but there are many that
will think twice before the
scheme is made to work. But,
OF course, as long as the nine
dollars roll in fast enough the

price of wheat will be their last

IL. rmers to give them nine

vote.

REAL SPORT OF
DIFFERENT AGES
Greater Contrast Here Displayed
Than in Better Known
Game of Golf

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-Trapshooting
is the real sport of contrasting ages.
One Of our best known and most
widely read golf critics discovered the
remarkable fact-to him-that in the
United States golf championship
tournament the ages of entrants ran
from fourteen to sixty-two years, and
right Off the reel put over the state
ment that no other sport could produce
such an "age- defying combination"
His trouble was that he only knew
and was interested in golf. 1t would
have paid him to give few minutes to
trapshooting. He would have found
many little things to interest him. In
the Grand American tournament IN St
Louis in August there were 663
entrants and the ages of the con-
testants ran from fourteen to seventy
eight years. The youngest one was as
young as the youngest in the golf
championship and the oldest was many
years further along in years, but not
in spirit.
And as in the golf championship, the
youngster was a real star. Master
William +. Phillips, jr., is the lad. He
halls from Chicago and is the son OF
William h. Phillips, who won the
Grand American 1--WE years ago. Young
Phillips was back on the eighteen-yard
mark, which is the best evidence that
he is an expert He broke more than
90 per cent all week and in the consola-
ton tournament broke ninety-seven
and tied for first place. Tying for
first place in competition with 200 trap
shooters isn't at all bad for lad of
fourteen years. The senior Phillips
was also in the consolation handicap,
but when he discovered that his Off
spring was hitting the clays so well he
retired and watched the youngster.
Now we come TO the real veteran.
There were dozens of men past the
threescore mark in the Grand Ameri-
can, but the only two past the three
score and ten were Andy Meaders, OF
Nashville, Tenn, and Captain j. F..
Breitenstein, of Oskaloosa, Iowa. The
venerable captain Is seventy-eight
wears young. He broke better than so
per cent throughout the week. lie
isn't the oldest trapshooter in America,
but he was the oldest IN years IN the
Grand American. The combination or
Phillips, jr., and Bretenstein at the
trans caused many 10 stop and reflect
upon their ages. Phillips, jr., in short
trousers, looked younger than fourteen
against the gray-whiskered shot from
Iowa.
Breitenstein attends nearly all Of the
important trapshooting tournaments OF
the Middle West, and has for many
wears. Every one knew him and his
record, for he is the only surviving
member of the crew Of the Confederate
tighter, the Merrimac, which mixed II
ND with the Monitor at Hampton Roads
way back in the Civil War days. As
far as the captain is concerned, nothing
remains but the memory OF the incl
dent. though he does say cit was some
shooting match"
