wrItIna Lettera 10 tIle. Edltor.

Every newspaper man has nm adnli-
ration for the man who writes a com
munication and signs his name to IT,
Many men have good ideas on sub
iccts OF community, state and national
interest. If they would express these
opinions as personal statements they
would have an influence for good
Brattlebcro Refcrmer.
We have a similar idea about the
matter, too. Every time we get a com
nunication with the writer's name
signed for publication along with the
communication we fell like throwing
up our hat and shouting for Joy that
the person has the nerve to come out
straightforwardly and let our readers
know who is putting forward the idea.
II is often the case that the man who
declines to have his name printed at
the lotion of a communication has
sinister motive back OF his desire to
write a communication, and very Of
ten he purposes to take a shot" at
someone just rs sniper shoots down
unsuspecting persons from ambush.
There is growing tendency among
newspaper editors 10 refuse to print
any communication which does not
have the writer's real name append
ed to It; and most all editors refuse
absolutely to print communication
when the writer's name is not known
TO the editor Moreover, there is q
growing tendency on the part of
these who present communications 70
be willing to permit their names to be
attached to the communication. Pro
Bono Publico' and all his ilk are dy-
ing out. Instead, there Is coming a
class of man-fashion, straightforward
contributors to the columns of the
newspapers. So we repeat, that every
time one of the newer and saner class
appears we feel like throwing up our
hat and shouting joyously And, as
you say, Mr.. Reformer, their utteran
ces have far more weight with the
readers than an unfathered state
