A MODERN JUDAS

1t has long been one of Rhodes of
the News hobbies to prohibit any adj
vertising for Sunday shows. How
ever, those who noticed the large ad
for a Sunday show in a recent issue
are probably wondering how it hap
pened. 1t may be that Rhodes could
not stand it any longer and hearing
the jingle of the silver, was willing
to sacrifice one of his "would-be"
ideals. 1t is probably another case of

f OR PRINCIPLE

All questions of economics are de-
batable. If it were not so there would
be no difference of opinion among the
great minds of the country. No po-
litical party has a monopoly on the
brains of the country. There are
great men in both the two great par
ties of the country,-men who have
achieved great success in all lines of
human endeavor. No human being
is infallible,-every one makes mis-
takes of judgment. Even J. P. Nor
gan had in his possession securities
that were worthless. Every presi-
dent we have ever had has made mis-
takes of policy. The only persons who
are sure they know the best way to
raise children are those who have
never had any. The only persons
who are sure they know the best way
to run a newspaper are those that
never had anything to do with one.
AS long as all policies are debatable
we will continue to work for the man
whom we believe to have the greatest
mind, and who has had the most ex.
norionco and who has shown nv the
past that he is not in a rut but will
change his mind when his theories fai
when put into practice. The person
who knows it all is not likely to have
very much influence on the lives o.
those with whom they come in con
tact. W. ought to be broad enough
to see that there are two sides t,
most questions and not think that tn
person who does not agree with US il
necessarily an imbecile. It may b.
the other way around. There was
time when we thought that the per
son who had gone through all tn
schools was necessarily a very wis
person, but many years ago W
changed our mind. The first essen
tial is common sense. Without tina
an education is absolutely worthless

F. M. Richardson is some walker,

he forgot his errand. Thursday he

it seems that Winter is on its

saying: "Come, John. Git up.

ON ~ENTANGLING ALLIANCES

Carping on the alleged entangling
alliances of competing newspapers is
one of the favorite hobbies of the
Valley County News editor. To those
who know the standing of Rhodes and
his CD slandering newspaper this
type of slush comes as a huge joke.
Not for a moment does he endeavor
to enlighten his readers as to who
pulls the strings on the News editor
and makes him dance to d~ictatorial
music whenever occasion arises. We
wonder why.
