We Rise to Personal Pn;viIss.

A Printing Office is an Industrial
Plant. The printer takes the raw
material and makes something. pre-
cisely as pig iron is reduced or trans
formed into steel. These hands min
ister to our necessities; in very truth
the Free Press is a part of the great
world of labor; we prefer to be class
ed as such; that is our calling and our
pride-our life venture.
Let us therefore, take our local
bearings. AS partisan, we are Re
publican because that political organ
ization has always honored labor and
opposed slavery. Unrequited toll was
abhorrent to Abraham Lincoln and to
all the distinguished men who have
made the party illustrious in Amer
lean annals. A preponderant voting
element in Ellis county has news
paper representation in Hays. We do
not object to that. We raise the
point however, that the city of Hays
is Republican, that the Free Press is
preferred in Republican homes and
that our competitor falls short in that
respect. That fact was ignored by
the city manager last winter in a let
ter or proclamation, addressed to the
citizens of Hays on Community In
terest," concerned directly, in the
success of the oratorio under the
direction of Prof. Malloy. What the
managers political bias is we do not
know nor care; it is his procedure
that counts, as it involves both polit-
ical parties in the city, Who are the
tax payers.
The Chamber of Commerce is in a
sense an advisory committee, which
seeks the welfare of the city as a
whole; it is up to the Chamber, there
fore, to say that they openly and
above board pursue the policy, by
direction or consent, of humiliating
labor as exemplifed in the Free Press
office by refusing equality Of patron
age with our competing industrial
plant.
The Republicans control the policy
of our municipal affairs; their infu-
ence prevails in the c. of c.; are they
willing to stand for a sinister infu-
ence, petticoat or otherwise, to ac-
complish an unfair advantage upon
labor as such. We deny that that Is
the policy of the Republican party in
it's national organization; we deny also
that the paltry, picayune policy OF
that kind is a credit to the city OF
Hays, whose reputation is as dear to
us as to any concern here. No organ
ization of any kind in the city can
! escape severe criticism that plays
false to the accepted standards OF
honor and fair play. It is up to the
! business men of the city as well as the
| C. of C. irrespective of party affilia-
tions, to see that the Free Press re-
ceives a square deal. We are not ask
| ing alms-far from tive are doing
a profitable business; our equipment
| is second to none and our reputation
for creditable work is we'll kown; un
/ fair schemers will blast the hopes Of
any town and the Free Press will sur
vive whatever happens, for harmony
| justice and the good of all is what i
| strives for.
