Says Crystal Falls II Fertile Field For
Second Publication and He Il
Going 10 Start One Here

/
party OF local capitalists in a second
newspaper for Crystal Falls. A con.
! ference OF. those interested was held
at the Reverent Williams suggestion
one evening last week and one man
offered 10 put up $1,000 into Poyseors
proposed great sentiment moulder. OF
which the Reverent William Is TO be
the chief director. the head beetler
the boss bunk shooter and the little
dog under the wagon.
An emmisary was sent to Escanaba
to confer with Editor Frank L. Bad
win on the probable cost OF a plant
sufficient 10 cleanse Iron county OF
those not arrayed In the Poyseorine
garment OF immaculacy. The editor OF
The Diamond Drill will not be allow
cd the courtesy OF ride out and. not
having a parsons pass, as the Reyer-
ent William has, the poor creature
will have 20 hit the trail TO no mans
land.
A newspaper man from the 500 is
to be secured TO do the errands about
the Office and fll the editorial chair
while the great moulder OF reform
sentiment IS on missionary duty and
occasionally preaching congressional
politics from his pulpits in sections
where he isn't known as well as he
Is here.
When Poyseor isn't busy sky pilot
ing, making maple syrup, farming,
playing politics or quarreling with
his neighbors he is 10 don the editor
ial robes which he laid down when his
famous Pathfinder failed to pilot the
way TO the true path, switched of on
a tangent that led TO farmers lane
which in turn ended in a barn yard
where II buried itself in generous
supply OF covering with which an in
dulgent Providence and an accident OF
nature abundantly endowed the Rev
erent William.
Poyseor has been busy for the past
year trying TO start a paper in Iron
county Originally Iron River was
the locality upon which he had set
his heart and Editor .O'Brien OF the
Reporter the object upon which he
fastened his wrath. The publisher
OF the Marquette Mining Journal was
importuned by Poyseor 20 start a
paper in Iron River but the Mining
Journal man Is running a paper for
service 10 the community, not for
spite, and knows that both Iron River
and Crystal Falls have all they can
do to support one paper and frequent
ly the support OF that isn't any too
generous.
But things have changed. The
Reverent William IS nursing a grudge
against the editor OF The Diamond
Drill and the calcium has been turned
on Crystal Falls
William has been slipping since he
broke into print last fall in our coll
umns and drew a reply from one of
our subscribers that he didn't figure
on and which he hasn't been able to
answer. Poyseor has never been de-
MED space in either The Diamond
Drill or the Reporter 10 express HIS
sentiments to the fullest limit Meth
er has any OF the men he called into
conference been denied space for The
Drill has always considered
Itself public utility. open at all times
to the public for the discussion OF
any subject on all sides and irrespec-
tive OF the personal views of the edit
or hereof No man has ever been de-
MED place in its columns for any
publication III to print and no man or
woman ever will be. o. no. It's not
The publicity that Poyseor wants. It's
TO stiie certain publicity that he does
Mt like. He's going TO put The Dla-
mond Drill out of business so that he
can blue pencil any publicity that
doesn't III his idea OF what the people
ought TO know.
Well. that is his privilege The
newspaper business Is no closed cor
2oration. Any man has right 20 !
start paper and in these days OF |
$40 print paper and no work at the |
mines, II takes some nerve and more |

newspaper and the subscription list is
still open. Well wager that the man
Who offered $1,000 TO start new
newspaper hasn't yet paid one dollar
,ash towards the hotel.
But. that's another story. We we're
