AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
PROVINCE OF A NEWS
PAPER.
It would be comical, were
it not somewhat pathetic, the
way newspaper offices art
besieged by their friends, urg
ing £hem to “roast” this oi
that; to “see to it” that the
and that is corrected; to havt
this and that done in the town
or district; to start this and
that kind of movement to cor
rect evils in the government
These friends actually appea;
to believe that it is the news
paper’s business to handle ai
these affairs.
But a self-respecting news
paper, though ready and will
ing to carry all reasonabl
responsibility, must remint
its readers that they-the peo
ple--are the authority upoi
whom rests the responsibility
for the present state of affair:
local, state and national.
A self-respecting newspapes
tries to report the news o
what actually happens, no
what it might wish had hap
pened. The relation of a self
respecting newspaper to the
general public is not always
, understood. It is the duty of a
newspaper to be in a position
to support any good act and
criticize any bad act of
public policy.
This relationship cannot ex
ist where favors are asked
and granted. Honesty is the
only policy for a newspaper
If objectors don’t like the
way things are going, they,
should qualify .as voters, and
then raise cain about it.

ON A TELEPHONE POLE.
All of a sudden, when the
earlier sun wakes you one o
these April mornings, youi
mind unfolds to a sense ok
change. The room’s the same;
the task of filling out your in
come tax blank slid haunts
you, you remember that tN
leavings of the 12th ion of coa
won’t last the week out—but
something is different! Not
'xactl.v that, but something if j
here that wasn’t there yes- j
erday. Nor is that just it
Whatever-it is, it’s new and
lot new. Its like a memory
■ome to life-a delightful j
memory.
You trace it to the tip-of a i
leaiby telephone pole—and the :
lea r trills and rills of the
•obln send thrills all through !
-ou, and you know the birds j
ire beginning to come back! !
Soon the bird chorus will be
'nil enought to waken you
ong will outdo the sun. As it
•rows from day to day, you’li
lear in it a promise of no more
ending the heater—for six
nonths—no more trudging thru
now and slush; no mori j
ough drops, camphorated oi! 1
r mustard soaks. Also mor*.
resh vegetables, and the de- I
' Thts of motoring along road; .
tinged with verdant beauties, j
“How fine to have the bird;
tack!’’ you’ll say to yourself,
lave you ever stopped to think
vhat would happen if they j
iidn’t come back? Well, in a i
eason or two it would , mean
he end of life on this planet.’
fhats all!

CALL TO PRAYER.
The Easter season is one
>f more than usual sacred
less to the adherents ot
he Christian religion. Easter
narks the close, of. the Lenten
eason, the period of self-de
lial practiced, generally by
"atholic bodies and partly by
ome Protestant denominat- i
ons. It recalls the recorded
vents accompanying the. res*
■ erection of Jesus Christ. i
The time has passed when.:
non may scoff at the effects
veness of prayer in the nation* ;
1 and individual life- and- at
he same time maintain a rep* :
itation for sound* judgment.
Whatever may-be the expla
ation for prayer, whether-it
:e the response of a supreme
oeing to the requests of' men
of whether the effect is pure>
ly psychological, results of un
equivocal character are seen in
the lives of men.
All the sin and injustice in
the world is the result of sel
fishness in the hearts of men.
No individual can enter sin
eerely into the practice of
prayer without the surrender
of the mind and disposition
;hat would prompt the doing ol
things that would work harm
in the lives of others.
Prayer is it is revealed in the
Holy Scriptures, makes for
a serenity of mind and a fixed
ness of purpose to do right
eously that can not be easily
iestroyed by the ordinary ex
periences of life. The most
outstanding men and women
in history have practiced pray
er for themselves and for the
interests to which they gave
hemselves.
Just for Fun
Executive ability is something
else a college can’t impart.
An ideal ceases to be an ideal
when attained.
Absence makes the pocket
iook fatter.
A drink in time prevents
confiscation.
About the most expensive
hing on earth is money.
Wars never settle anything
'xcept that they settle nothing.
If you’re seeking the sweet
est revenge try forgiveness.
At limes we fear that what
ever killed the dead civilizat
ons was something inheritable
Middle-age is the time when
he average man is going tc
>egin saving next month.
The old-fashioned boy whr
sed to drink.sassafras tea waf

Summer is called the foolish
season, but of all the month."
A pi il is the most dizz;/-headed.
A man doesn’t reap what
he sows unless, he works the
crop.
Who remembers when the
aye of discretion was the par
antage?
Many a man's failure can
be traced to, what his grand
father did with his idle time.
What a peaceful old world
Sfns would be rf Noah hadn’t
finished his boat on time.
The playwright’s task be
comes more exacting. It be
comes ever more and more dif
ficult to shock people.
You can’t trust some'^people
out of “your sight* » You can’t
trust others until--they are out
of yoW debt.
The trouble with the world
is that we each want to be hu
man and want everybody else
to be perfect.
For a girl to have a pretty
face and skinny legs is about
like having a nice check book
and no bank account.
“Cheese, I’m tired of work
ing, Mike,”
“Why don’t you join the
union?’’
Fete Wilson says sometimes
a man gets so mad he quits
being a hypocrite for a few
brief minutes.
‘Did you call up Virginia
last night?”
“No, I wanted to get to bed
early, so I w’ent to a show.”
The crazy man succeeds. The
-ane, normal, standard, reg
ular fellows spend all night
reading his biography to learn
how he did it.
Father—I feel like whipping
you.
Son-Don’t give in to your
feelings, Dad.
Lipstick sticks
Till she hugs his neck,
Then it don’t stick—
Yes it does, by heck!
“I understand you got rid of
your loud speaker.”
‘Well, not exactly! I’m still
paying her alimony.”
MODERN DEFINITIONS.
Home is a place where some
people have their mail sent,

If a gorgeous movie ending
in a three-minute kiss gives
him a pain, he is about forty

“If the smallest hole appears
after six months’ wear,” reads
a Philadelphia tailor’s adver
tisement, as reported in the
Country Gentleman, “we will
nake another absolutelf free.”
Grocer: ‘This is ’ the best
brand of peaches on the mar
ket; your husband will like
them.”
Wife: “The peaches my hus
band likes are not in cans.”
Grocer: “What are they in?”
Wife: “Bathing suits!”
A husband’s spirit isn’t really
broken so long as he thinks he
gives in because" he is chival
rous.
Still, most of the world’s big
jobs are handled by men who
are not classed as “intellect
uals.”
