 Putnam. Conn.
 Dear Sir
 Allow me e express my apprecia- ton fer the unexpected and unsolicit- ed kind remarks that appeared in your paper If last Friday regarding the merit with which have filled the of ice of Town Tax Collector. have sometimes wondered If the voting public would be at all interested in the fact that I collect every year a few hundred dollars that no prior Tax Collector ever got and which no sue ceeding Tax Collector need collect unless he or she were particularly in- terested in working for the welfare of the town. This and one or two other things are not commonly known, and since hereabouts ones vote is largely cast for a candidate without regard to his or her personal qualifications, l have considered that it was not wise to toot my own horn. It is therefore gratifying 70 find that occasionally there is a person who perhaps sus- poets that have done reasonably well in an office where it is s!faost :sapes- sible to be both efficient and popular. Again I thank you for what you have said about me.
 Very truly yours.

Believes Soldiers Bonus But Common
Justice.

Simpson County News.
We took millions of ,our Young
men from their jobs and business to
make the world more Democrat ic.
And when the war was over we
turned them loose on the country
with not enouth money to buy a de-
cent changing of clothes. This war
was caused by commercial jealously
between England and Germany.
We got into 1t because our million
aires had loaned England, France
and Russia billions of dollars then
stood mighty good chance of losing
it.Thev have helped about everybody
else so we think it is right to give
the soldier a decent show by giving
him a substantial bonus.

Should Learn That Newspaper Is A
Business Enterprise.

George Co. Times.
Said a well known business man
to us the other day: 1T would not
hurt you occasionally mention our
business in the paper. 1t would
help TO fill up you know" Yes. we
might do It, We haven't the least
idea on earth that it would hurt us,
and it would, as he suggests, help
to fill up We might do all this, but
at the same time, thank God. we do
not have to do it unless we feel like
it. 1t wouldn't hurt him either, to
come around and say: Give me a
a column of space for advertisement,
and here is the money for it," By
doing this he would become desert
er to that grand army of deadheads
who expect the newspapers to con-
tinualy note the improvements they
make by giving them free puffs, and
for which they never pay cent. 1t
is high time for all classes to learn
that a newspaper isa business en-
terprise, the same as a dry goods
store or grocery, run for living
for its owner.

The Herald has repeatedly de-
nounced the crime of murder !, when
1t appears in our county. Even SO
we wish TO denounce with all the
emphasis we can command the dark
and dastardly deed which occurred
in the Upper East Side about the
middle OF last week when some COW
ardly assassin called that poor IKE
ma man to his front door and shot
him down without word or warning
so far as anybody knows, or any way
without any chance to defend him
self. Such deeds as these grow boil
der without the salutary effect of a
warning by public hanging. Such
hanging will come either legally or
by mob sooner or later, for some one
will get killed or assassinated who
will prove the wrong man and the
law or his friends will have redress
upon the murderer or murderers.
We hope that all good citizens are
waking up to this point. We will
have to wake up to it to make lite
secure. With the right kind of CO.
operation the law can reach out and
grip the guilty ones. so let all who
can sneak do IL tn turn nm and hrino
to justice the perpetrator or perpe-
traitors of this dark crime. Lets
make our county one in which the
stranger can come from afar and
abide within our gates secure in the
protection of his life, even though
poor Ukena had to die to bring this
fact home to our citizenship.

other courteous fellows who urged
us along the way, but Hospitality in
sisted that we call for anything in
sight that we saw that we wanted
and plenty of it. Paper plates aud
napkins were furnished and as we
came out at the end Boy Scouts han
ded us cold fruit juice in tin cups
and urged us to come back for more
as they pressed oranges into our
hands from truck laden with the
crates in the end of which sat the
barrel with spigot in it from which
they jerked off the sweet and sooth-
ing drink juice.
After the eating we were loaded
into the autos again and taken out
past the town on some of their good
roads, past fruit groves some of whir h
went through the great freezes and
survived, some of which did not and
the old stumps stood in some of
those frost wrecked abandoned
groves. The grated or budded i'm
proved fruit is all the go now though
and we seldom see much of the old
trees any more even where good
bearers. A fine hog farm was WISH
ted and some red durocs seen that
would do credit to that specimen OF
large sized pig grown anywhere on
on the continent.

The disarmament Conference has
gotten down to work. The scope OF
the proposal from the United States
as outlined by Secty. Hughes IN his
opening speech. somewhat staggered
the representatives of the other
great countries. but owing to the
heavy drain of the recent war on all
their financial resources, something
of let up in naval expenditure is
welcomed allround in q way as a
basis for the scrapping and curtailing
policy. provided the present balance
of power on the open seas is pre-
served.

Riches Should Not Turn One S Head.

The time may come when man
win achieve fortune without losing
his brains or his decency, as is too
often the case now. But until that
time does come, public opinion should
compel decent and lawabidlng line

is not there. Full pockets are not

The editor has an opportunity to

and he never hesitates to do it if
consistent with obligations to the
public The editor has the greatest
opportunity to convert men and
women to his way OF thinking on
public questions. AS the lighthouse
on the shore warns the ships from
the rocks the editor can warn the
populace from frauds and fakes.
The editor has the greatest oppor-
tunity to protect society from evil
by standing tor the law and creating
public sentiment for 1T. The editor
never tires of boosting his town and
county, and il both do not grow it

not get any returns for his efforts
