A NEW CAPITALIST

James Blessing is another young
man of the city to show the lazy
boys how it is done. We have a good
many small boys about town who be-
lieve in making their own money and
who have good positions. We have
some of the larger size of this varie-
ty, and some we have who may not
be. But however that may be James
Blessing is a coming capitalist. He
makes his home with his uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mr.. Andrew Jackson.
Every day he goes down to the ice
plant to see the big wheel go round
and round. He decided last Saturday
to 60 into business. There is lot of
scrap ice about the plant, so James
conceived the idea Of going into the
cold drink business. Accordingly he
bought three crates of soft drinks
and cooled them properly with the
scrap ice, and by night he had dis
posed of all of the drinks, making
eighty-fve cents and drinking one
grape" himself. He has now made
several dollars and is on rising
ground. Let him proceed.

WHY NOT TREATMENT?

We notice that the Governor has
granted parole to Bush Williams
for a period of six months. Williams
was convicted of murder in this
county in February, and was sent
up for life, we believe.
The excuse for the parole is not
that Williams is not murderer, and,
therefore, dangerous to society, but
that he is suffering from tuberculosis.
Has the state tuberculosis camp
where negroes may be treated? If it
has not, then one should be estab-
lishd, and those convicts who are too
sick from this disease to work should
be sent to it.
Experience has shown that it is
dangerous to have murderers at
large, and the medical fraternity is
agreed, that it is also dangerous for
one afflicted with tuberculosis to be
turned loose where he may comnlu-
nicate the disease to others. There
fore, instead of one danger resulting
from turning Williams loose there are
two lurking dangers, one against So
ciety, and on against the public
health. Neither should be allowed to
exist.
By the way, is sickness to be an
excuse hereafter for crime? May a
man who is sick escape the punish
ment for his offense? If so we shall
hereafter have a defense for homi-
eide other than self-defense. Per-
haps. Bush relied on the wrong de-
fense in the beginning.

have not refused this business, but
have made little effort to encourage
it. One editor says that formerly
there was a strong feeling on the
part of his hometown merchants
that he should refuse out-of-town
business. However, some Of them
are coming to see that perhaps his
policy of accepting, but not en-
coura9ng, such business is the wiser.
A local merchant recently said to
this editor, If you should exclude
this out-of-town business absolutely,

DISCUSSES PROBLEMS
OF SMALL NEWSPAPER


had published in Cornell Universe
ty extension bulletin, some highly
interesting facts and figures con-
cerning the country weekly news,
papers in New York State. Since his
observations are applicable to this
state we are reproducing below ex.
cerpts from the bulletin:
"The country newspaper has
never been more needed than it is at
the present time. Americans are
rapidly becoming race of nomads.
Every minute not spent working OF
sleeping is spent rushing around
automobiles, trains, or trolley cars.
Families now seldom live for gener-
ations in a community. The children
grow up and leave for the city with
lreams of the careers which await
them.
'Some persons are beginning to
think that this may be a dangerous
tendency; that perhaps the much
sneered-at provincialism may have
points in its favor. The country is
hearing a good deal just now about
community SERVICE which, as one
writer says, means the promotion Of
assound, healthy, commercial, social
mental, and spiritual life in a COM
'munity-the bringing together of all
the better elements of communi-
ty.'
"And one institution which can
help nightly in bringing these to-
gether is the country weekly. The
city daily can not easily do it, for it
is essentially a thing of the nation
and the world. The people who make
the city daily are interested in the
coutry and in the small towns where
the paper may be read largely be-
cause the people of the community
mean just so many more possible
subscribers, and therefore, so much
more advertising revenue.
but the country newspaper, even
the poorest, offers meeting ground
of all these, better interests of the
community. There is not an institu-
tion including the church, the school,
the farm bureau, or local business,
which does not suffer when a towns
only local paper is forced out of
business. :.
"The prosperity-and therefore
the future-of the country weekly
depends to a considerable extent
upon the realization in the minds of
the publisher and in the minds of
every reader of newspapers and OF
every advertiser in newspapers, that
advertising is commodity, the only
profit-making commodity the pub
Usher has to sell. The country news
paper of the future must be a pros
porous newspaper not only for the
sake Of the publisher and publishers
family, but for the sake Of the COM
munity. A poorly edited, poorly
printed, and poorly managed paper
is not good for any communi-
ty. :.
'1n the past some country mer-
chants have objected if ADVERTISE
ments of neighboring city stores
were printed in the home. paper.
Some editors have had such keen
sense of their community response
bility that they have refused to &C.
