why, around Home Town, it's the
greatest paper in the world"
j. B. Densmore, editor of the Belt
Valley Times: "The Home Town
Paper holds a greater value to its
community than any other publica-
ton for the reason that it is the only
medium that gets right down to the
heart interest of every person in its
community, having a personal touch
with its people that is impossible to
any other publication. 1t rejoices
with the parents at the birth of a
child, sympathizes with their youth
full escapades, gives timely publicity
to their progress in school and gradu-
alton into the struggle for a livli-
hood.
ct is a Home Town Papers great
est pleasure to write of the successes
made of the boys and girls of the
Old Home Town. 1t likes best to
publish news of the brighter side of
life, progress, upbuilding, optimistic
things that point to a better future,
but in the nature of things even a
country news paper must be what
the life of the community makes it.
In it's news and editorial columns it
is intensely human and must con-
tain the shadows as we'll as the high

EDITOR AND EDITORIALS

i(By Former Congressman Tom Stout
The story of the editorial profes-
sion may be summed up in Grey's
immortal line: "The short and sim
pie annals of the poor" Addison,
who was not particularly fond of
newspapers, g%rudgingly admitted
in the Spectator" that such insti-
buttons do consume a considerable
quantity of our paper manufactures,
employ our artisans and find bust
ness for great numbers of INDECENT
persons" He doubtless had the edi-
tors in mind when rejecting upon the
employment of INDECENT persons.
With notable exceptions, one of
which | need not here advert to-,
newspapers are pretty much what
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-11-10

their editors make them. Wise bust
ness management is indispensable,
else there would be no opportunity
for the editor to exhibit his genius,
eccentricity or ignorance, depending
wholly upon the viewpoint; but it is
the editorial page which gives char
acter, or reveals the lack of it, to
any newspaper. 1t makes little diff
ference that so many people do not
read the editorials; the spirit of the
paper is none the less given life
there. However great a paper might
be in the service of disseminating
news it would still lack that essential
which makes it a real newspaper if
published without an editorial page
1t is not necessary that editors
should always be right in their ex-
position of the crowding events of
our daily existence. Doubtless they
are very often wrong. 1t is my per-
sonal and confidential conviction
that more than one-half of them in
this country are egregiously and
gregariously wrong all of the time.
1t is a lamentable fact that there
are more Republican editors than
Democratic editors in this country.
But, right or wrong, their daily
sniping helps more than any other
one expression of modern life to
keep that existence from becoming

FIRE DESTROYS
BUSINESS PLACES

Kirch's ~bs1Aarshop and Norton's
day office. Bainville Pharmacy,
building and stock owned by Arthur
c.. Coultson. The Valley Tribune
plant and building owned by A. s.
HER.
The fire was discovered about 2:30
and when first seer was but a small
building. The alarm was spread but
before a crowd could gather the adj
joining building was also discovered
to be in flames and from then on the
blaze was beyond control. There was
no wind at the time the flames spread
to the buildings on both sides and it
was but a short time until the entire
row was ablaze. The Farmers State
Bank, the only brick building in the
block, was threatened several times
but by hard work on the part of the
bucket brigade, which was quickly
formed, it was saved with but a slight
damage. A small building in the rear
of the bank also suffered slight dam
age.
All losses are partly covered by in
surance, some better than others, and
some are heavy losers. The Tribune
is perhaps the heaviest loser in the
bunch, with a loss of better than $751;
600 and insurance in the amount of
$1,000. A. C. Coultson is also q
heavy loser as are likewise Walton
and Casey. Biladeau was well COW
cred with insurance and Kirch saved
a great deal of his goods.
The loss is a severe one to the
town and it is doubtful if the burned
out section will be rebuilt. A. C.
Coultson is the only one that con
templates building this fall. He is
already making arrangements to
that end and if he does not change his
mind will put up a brick building.
Others are awaiting the arrival of in
surance adjusters before making a
statement as to what their intentions
for the future are.
In the meantime the Tribune will
be issued as usual, arrangements
having been made with the Poplar
Standard to issue the paper for a
short time or until other
ments can be made.

"CLOSE-UPS" OF THE HOME
TOWN PAPER

Home Town Paper Week has
brough out some candid opinions
from the editors themselves and a
few are here quoted;
o. A. Dahl, editor of the Ekalaka
Eagle: "There is no greater asset
in any community than the Home
Town Paper. 1t breathes the very
life of the community and without
it no town, no matter how small, can
hope to grow and prosper as it
should. To the stranger, the Home
Town Paper speaks for the town and
community. BY it he learns the
spirit of the community, the pro-
gressiveness of its citizens and their
living conditions.
"The Home Town Paper has been
the greatest factor in bringing be-
fore the people of the country at
large the opportunities and possibili-
ties of success in Montana, and sure
ly the big end of the growth of the
Treasure state is due to the efforts of
A town without a local newspaper
is like a Ford without gasoline-it
will not get any farther than its pres
ent station"
G. M. Moss, editor of the White
fish Pilot: "The Home Town Paper
published in the small town is the
most thoroughly read publication in
the world. Perhaps this is because it
is a little more human than it's big
town sister. 1t has little fear that
the New York World or the Chicago
Tribune can successfully compete
with it, for the very good. reason
that they are not directly concerned
with its people. If they mentioned
that little John Jones had the mumps
they could not consider this a story
worth following up and tell next
week whether the mumps had spread
to the other side of little Johns face.
"All theory to the contrary, most
people like to have their names in
the paper. None in the town are so
little as to be big enough to noticed

THE HOME PAPERS JOB
by the Editorl


The Home Town Paper has limit
less opportunity to become a local
asset. AS | see it, its function is to
represent the whole of its community
with fairness, sympathy and courage.
1t should print all the good news
and forget the bad. 1t should work
hard for unity, cooperation and in
telligent understanding between
town and country; and, with due re-
gard for truth, praise, boost and adj
vertise it's own Home Town, not for
getting its county and state. 1t
should be liberal in its views, avoid
cliques and gang politics and devote
its energies to dispensing cheer and
helpful information.
The batting average chalked up
on the score board of the years in
this mans size task will be the meas
ure of the value of the newspaper in

munity without a good Home Town
