AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
STIMULANT TO PROGRESS.
In legal parlance there is a
term “caveat emptor” which
means “let the buyer beware.”
And that does not single out
any class of buyers.
There are people in Hyder
who buy everything at home
and from home-town mer
chants. And then again there
are people in this community
who buy very little at home,
thoughtlessly spending their
money out of town where it is
lost to the community. Those
who buy at home benefit the
community by keeping their
money at home and reap the
additional rewards of buying
from business enterprises that
depend, for their very exist
ence, upon their reputation for
fair dealing. The home-town
merchant gives his patrons and
his community the fruits of hi; ;
industry and his community'! j
patronage.
The same principle, which
urges people to patronize the
local merchant who has his
money invested where it serves
them most should urge the
merchant to advertise in the
newspapers of his community.
This paper boosts Hyder and
its people, institutions and busi
ness. It is a fixture, with a
heavy investment and depend
ent for its existence as a boost
er upon the patronage of the
community.
Merchants advertise in news
papers to increase their busi
ness. Consumers read news
paper advertisements that they
may buy with the least ex
pense of time and effort and
most advantageously both in
respect to price and quality.
Both advertiser and buyer for
get that this advertising makes
possible the newspaper that
brings them the news of the
day and provides one of the
chief stimulants to community
growth and betterment.

POLICE BRUTALITY.
A move is under way in sev
j eral states to tighten the laws
| curbing the use of brutal meth
■ ods by police to extort con
fessions from prisoners.
Police departments universal
ly deny using such methods,
but all newspaper men who
have been about a bit have
seen too much of it to doubt
that the practice is common,
both in city and village.
Of course, if you believe that
a prisoner is beyond the pale
and ought not to be accorded
decent or humane treatment,
he law won’t appeal to you. It
j probably will not appeal to
j officers, more interested in
! getting a confession than / in
seeing justice done. But other
wise, such laws seem pretty
well grounded in the principles
if humanity and Christianity.
There is, to put it baldly, no
I excuse for third degree meth
I ids anywhere. If police cannot
build up a strong enough case
S igainst a man without beating

IF SOLOMON WERE
ALIVE TODAY HE
POSSIBLY MIGHT SAY. i
My son, take heed unto thy
ways that thou dost not throw
a shoe in attempting to leap j
i hurdles that are too high for i
thee.
The purse of they neighbor
may have been fattened thru
the labor of his ancestors. Take
heed therefore that thou try
not to imitate his ways as he
•^pendeth here and he spendeth
there, but cut thine own gar
ment according to the cloth
that is spread before thee.
When thou awakest in the
morning and cannot hear the
song of the birds because of
thy imagination-because thou
hearest in thy mind the toot of
;he horn of an automobile thou
canst not afford to own-thou
art a jackass with long ears
and at the last thou shalt bray
because of thy foolishness, but
none shall answer thee.
Because of his lack of wisdom
man lookcth upon his neighbor <
nvywith envy because he wear
eth a high collar and his shoes i
are pointed at the toes, but he
knoweth not that the collar
choketh and the shoes pinch
sth the wearer thereof, and so
I say unto you my son, “Envy
no man, but go thy way in
peace until thou shalt go the
way of ail the earth”.
Man was not born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward, but
he bringeth trouble upon him
self because he will not listen
to the voices of those who have
gone the way before him and
marked the spots where the
feet of those who tread it are
sure to slip.
When the man with the oily
tongue telleth thee that thy
few hard earned dollars invest
ed in a get rich quick scheme
will bring thee millions, show
him the door quickly ere thou
fall for his palaver and with
holes in thy shoes spend the
balance of thy days looking
for a job.
If perchance thou shouldst be
unfortunate and fall into
wealth which is not of thine
own earning, and thou art
tempted to live a life of ease
and idleness, remember that
Jonah was relieved of all work
while iie was sojourning in the
belly of the whale, but after a
few days of loafing he was
mighty glad to get out, put on
his overalls and go at the prob
lem of life in man fashion.
Yea, verily.

plosion blew up a dozen men.”

“Why not?”

Talking pictures have accom
plished much by eliminating
the nuisance on the seat be

the picture of myself at the
age of 20.”

FLYING HIGH.
An Irishman about three
sheets to the wind was on his
way home. It was after mid
night, and as he crossed a
bridge he saw the reflection
of the moon on the water. He
stopt and was gazing into the
water when a policeman ap
proached from the opposite di
rection. The Irishman, address
ing the policeman, said:
“Phwat’s the matter down
there?”
“Why, that’s the moon,” re
plied the policeman.
“Well, how in the deuce did
I get up here?” asked Pat.
