editorial announcement
After Saturday June the second
the. News”, will devote its entire space
to the recording of local news.
We are making arrangements to se
cure correspondents in the different
districts'whefe we haW subscribers, and
will thus be enabled to secure about a
column a week from each camp.
After mature consideration we are
convinced that the majority of our
subscribers will welcome this change,
and that all of our patrons will coun
tenance it. *’
In the past we have been able jto
give world wide events only limited
space, and this practice has been un
satisfactory both our readers and our
selves. Nearly everyone subscribes to
a daily that handles world wide news,
and is equipped to give it the proper
writeup.
It would therefore seem that our
beat bet would be to chronicle the
local affairs exclusively, so/ hereafter we
will do our best alohgthatHne:
Anyhow, most people are more in
terested in what their neighbors are do
ing than in whether some diplomat
has gone dippy; whether Lenine is ]y
ing at death’s door; or whether some
king was cleaned at blackjack.
