AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Few people today are strug
gling single-handed for some
thing. Whether for higher
wages, better working condit
ions, political reform, commun
ity progress, welfare funds,
industrial expansion, commer
cial power, beneficial legis
lation, or any of the other in
nume.alle phases of human
d„sirr the approved method
of procedure today is organi
zation and cooperation.
This modern inclination to
ward community-action, raises
the thought that civilization
has repealed the law of self
preservation, for isn’t the first
law of twentieth-century nat
ure that of community preser
vation, or at least community
preservation of self?. At any
rate the growing tendency to
ward human cooperation is a
marked departure from the
old individualism, which held
that the only things worth
whJs were those attained by
individual effort and individu
al ability.
I This community action can
not be construed as socialism,
nor socialism with reservat
ions, nor communism. It is a
convenient combination of in
dividualism and cooperation.
In community cooperation the
individuals are seeking some
thing rfor themselves with the
assistance of others who want
the same thing.
Perhaps there was only to*
mance and heroics in the pet
theory of the individualists,
which exalted personal a
chievement, but there are a
few romantic ones who still
refuse to organize and to ride
in their own automobiles ol
popular makes. No sympathy
is wasted upon them by the
organized industrialists, capi
talists, professional men, la
borers, businessmen, churches,
governments, political parties
and other members of. the gre
garious species.

A TOWN'S BEST BOOSTER
A writer in a current maga
zine ohserves ‘if the newspap
er is just a irttie Deiter man
! its town, the latter is the gain
| er thereby.”
Towns and their newspapers
usually lag or lead together.
Progressive j'oumalism is the
unfailing tonic of the lethargic
community, but it is equally
true that a newspaper can
eriously retard the develop
ment of its community. There
is no better community asset
than a home newspaper equal |
to the needs of the community. |
While a poor newspaper is j
better than none to the indi
vidual reader, that does not
hold true for the town.
What does a newspaper do
for its community? It serves as
the town’s messenger to the
outside world. It must take a
prominent part in all commun
ity proj'ects if they are to be
successful. It is the infallible
line of communication be
tween local government and
citizen. It is to the newspaper
that all organizations turn for
assistance in public welfare |
movements and without its as
sistance they face failure. The
newspaper reaps the reward
of its initiative by sharing in
the general improvement of
business and community af
fairs it has been instrumental
in bringing about. The good
newspaper deems it a pleasure
! to serve its community and its
1 readers and is fully aware that
it is only through giving a full
measure of service that it can
progress and prosper.
FAILURE AND SUCCESS.
Are you discouraged by fail
ure? Then you will fail.
Most of the little failures and
little successes are unimport
ant skirmishes in the battle of
life. They are the maneuver
ing, the testing of the oppos
ing lines, the finding of weak
spots and strong spots. In the
hour of skirmish lost, or in
the zest of skirmish won, it is
well to remember that the
great battle is yet to be fought.

his defeat--the where, the
why, the how of it—is already

“Buy a car,” the doctor ad
vised Mr. Matteossian, “and
get out more. You ought to

Speaking of the results ob

“I got a car and got out more.
I got out six times between
Pennsylvania avenue and Ken
nedy street and took off flesh
in four different places. Once
I I got out through the wind
