Standpoint. And the Review had to
do this sort of thing for nothing
No editor gets paid for boosting "Ap-
pie Week" or the fall fair, or good
roads, and Mr.. Barker d.d all this
boosting free.
Now let us see how the account
stands, so far as Standpoint is con-
cefned Mr. Barker has sold out and
Standpoint has lost one of the ablest
editors in Idaho. His going is a dis
tinct loss to the entire town. Can
this loss be compensated by the saw
Ing Of a dollar or two here and there
on bill Of job work? Think it over.
Mr. Barker did not feel INCLINED to
continue IN the capacity of commun-
ity booster and have to fight for an
existence He is too valuable an as
set to any community to do that, and
he refused TO do it, Standpoint has
it's job shop, but it lost Mr. Barker,
II reports are true, and while the
merchants may save a few dollars on
printing. they are going to pay dearly
In the end for this sort of economy
AS a matter of fact newspapers can
do Job work Just about as cheaply as
exclusive job shops, and Mr.. Barker
could have done this. But rather
than fight for the privilege of boost
ing Standpoint. he decided to let Sand
point get its boosting where it gets
its Job work. and If that is a good
investment for Standpoint, then every
body will be happy. True. new man
has the Review, and he may prove
an able editor, but If he measures up
to Mr.. Barker, he will prove an ex-
ceptional man and they are hard to
find. Few men are as gifted as Mr.
Barker; few are as loyal to all that
is for the betterment of his town and
our guess Is that the time will come
when Standpoint will give good deal
of real money to get Mr. Barker back
and they can't get him. He's |
