AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
OPPORTUNITIES IN
THIS COUNTRY GREAT.
It is significant that the nomi
nees for president and vice
president by the two great
parties of this country were
born and reared in poor cir
cumstances and made their
success in the world fighting
their way up against tremend
ous odds.
This is a striking object les
son to the youth of the land.
It is the way many of the
prominent, successful men of
America have come to the
front.
-o
SPIRIT THE SAME
We frequently hear it said
that the old time independent
spirit of the newspaper is gone,
that its editorial policy is now
subservient to the business of
fice. Yet this is not true. There
is more unselfish idealism in
the average local newspaper
than in any other business en
terprise. It frequently speaks
out in the way which it be
lieves will be for the good of
the nation and of the commun
ity, regardless of what the
consequences may be from a
business standpoint. This is
more than the average busi
ness man will do or can do.

SUPPRESSING “TIPSTER
SHEETS.”
(From Mining Truth)
Canadian postoffice authori
ties are barring “tipster
sheets” from circulation. News
papers and mining men of
Canada seem to be in entire
sympathy with this move,
Whether it will extend to Can
adian “tipster sheets,” or cov
er merely those on the Amer
ican side of the line, remains
to be seen. First to feel the of
ficial fist was the organ of a
Boston financing house.
The “tipster sheet” is an an
noying outgrowth of modem
money-raising methods, but
whether suppression is the
proper method of dealing with
it may be open to doubt. The
line is very indistinct that sep
arates a broker’s letter from a
house-organ, and a house-or
gan from a “tipster sheet.”
---U-- -
ARE YOU SATISFIED?
Aren’t you one of those who
are well satisfied with your
self?
Do you think you have done
pretty well?
Some of the men who started
when you did, may have done
better, but you are well above
the average in your crowd.
Do you sometimes go over in
your own mind the achieve
ments you have to your credit,
despite the handicaps with
which you started? Most of us
do.
But is it not always the past
you consider; not your future
advancement? And that is
just where you are wrong.
Too often we think we have
worked hard enough and want
to be able to “let down.”
Perhaps we think we have
enough to last till “the call”
comes.
Rather than make extra ef
fort we are willing to accept
the meager allowance which
we could eke out if necessary.
And we would prefer this to
having to bestir ourselves.
Pretty poor line of reasoning
and it is this line of thought
that puts many a man into his
dotage before his time. Get out
of it.
■— -o
DEBTS.
There are two sides to every |
happening and issue, and debt
is no exception to the rule. In
one direction debt leads to ]
prosperity and plenty but in j
the opposite direction it ar- j
rives at worry and want. It is
as well to get into debt of the
former sort as it is to get out ^
of debt of the latter kind. <
In dealing with debt it is nec
essary to distinguish between
mere foolish running into debt 1
and investment; between bor- 1
rowing to buy non-essentials ‘
ind borrowing for profit by
nvesting the borrowed money
n property, safe securities,
lousehold necessities or bu_\
less. Debts wisely created pay
:hemselves but the reckless
sorrower stands to lose all.
None has been oftener fore
warned than the foolish bor
rower. For many centuries
the Book of Proverbs has told
trim “The borrower is servant
to the lender.” He has heed
lessly passed over in Shakes
peare that admonition, “Neith
er a borrower nor a lender be;
for loan oft loses both itself
and friend, and borrowing
dulls the edge of husbandry.”
While from the philosophical
Ben Franklin is learned, “He
that goes a borrowing, goes a
sorrowing.”
One is not truly in debt who
exchanges his loan for its
equivalent in something else
and preserves the latter un
til the debt is dissolved, for it
is always available for the
satisfaction of the importunate
creditor. The true debtor is he
who dissipates his borrowings
before the debt is satisfied.
Just for Fun
Another good way to retain
your faith in your fellowman
is to make him sign on the
dotted line.
“Why don’t you like to hear
me sing this song about ‘Fall
ing Dew’?”
“Because it reminds me too
much of the rent.”
A woman’s idea of a fifty
fifty split is for her husband
to give her half the money and
then pay all the bills.
Its a long time since we’ve
seen a robust doctor.
Jimmie thinks the most suc
cessful way of getting around
a woman is to hug her.
This was a better country
when so many men didn’t
make a living organizing
drives to get money out of oth
er people.
Our idea of a good vacation
is: Sitting on an ice cake in
the Arctic and having people
drop us food and cigarettes
from airplanes.
A man may be clever, capable
and agreeable, but if you can
not depend upon him you do
not want him around.
In the good old days a woman
could be lazy without having
some specialist call her a neu
rotic.
Once the savage in Amer
ica bit the dust; now he hires
an alienist.
If people would only pray as
hard to avoid war as they pray
to win one.
The truly poor are those who
must buy cheaper cuts of beef
in order to afford nice stock- ■
ings. %
Humility isn’t much of a
virtue if you cultivate it be
cause you are afraid to fight.
Oliver, the office boy, had
been somewhat rude and the
boss had to call him down.
“Have you any excuse for
speaking so impolitely?” he
asked.
“Yes, sir,” said Oliver; “I
forgot that I wasn’t talking ov
e* the phone.”
Prosperity item by an ex*
change: Six weeks ago the
editor of this organ of prog
ress into town without a
clean shirt to his name. Today
he has a clean shirt.
There is not much hope for
the person who makes work
the last expedient for getting
along.
“Daddy, what is an excavat
ion?”
“An excavation is a place
from which dirt has been tak
en.”
“Is baby’s face one, Daddy?”
The fool who has been part
ed from his money always
feels cheap.
Women may have the most
sense, but it takes a man to
marry one.
Women are wise in not taking
much time to reply to chronic
ci’iticisms by men.
Complaints help to prove that
there are many persons who
are poor sports in various
ways.

An ignorant youth is one who
neither knows how to harness
a horse or shift gears.
It is reported that a Hyder
girl broke her engagement be
cause her sheik stole a kiss.
The trouble seems to have
been that he didn’t steal it
from her.
“What position did you hold
in your last place?" asked
the merchant.
“I was a doer, sir.”
“A doer! What’s that?”
“Well, sir, you see, when my
employer wanted anything
done he would tell the cashier,
the cashier would tell the
bookkeeper, the bookkeeper
would tell the clerk, and the
clerk would tell me.”
“And what would happen
then?”
“Well, sir, as I hadn’t any
one to tell it to I’d do it.

She—Is it dangerous to drive
vith one hand?
He—Yes, more than one fel
ow who’s tried it has run into
i church.
The women have taught us
:he futility of putting off to
morrow the thing they can put
3ff today. They have discov
sred that "brevity is the soul
uf IT. They select their clothes
for what they get out of them.
Women’s clothes, nowadays
uncover a multitude of shins.
Woman wants but little here
below and wants that little
short. She has curtailed her
costume to the point where all
she has left that she could
leave off with modesty are
the stickers on her windshield
and the habit of smoking ciga
rettes. Think of the millions
of poor worms that work hard
all their lives and die before
their time, that women .may
be partly clad with silk and
men entirely with confusion.
