forced Irrigation Is sometimes n bit
unwelcome. When the water not only
Hoods tlio growing grain but also
swoops iiway ones' fancy chickens it
ceases lo bo a benefit. There is trouble
enough with the pesky eggs, tho light
bonded hens, the gaps, tho mites, the
rats ami so on without limit but a
Hood that wlpos thorn all away with
ono fell swoop is the last straw that
breaks the camel's bauk.
Hirango how good the other follriw's
job looks. Wo see him at his best,
having mi easy tlmo and gntherlng in
the coin and wo think that If wo over
make a ohruiyo we will onler his lino
of work. And very likely he looks nt
us and wishes that he hnd just sueh
an easy life. Tho trouble is wo do not
know tho drawbacks, tho disappoint
ments, the leaks, tho failures that go
to make up the other stdo of tho pie
til re. itut depend upon it ninety nine
times out of ahundred thootherfellow
has his grief and he knows that all
things are not gold that glitters.
At presont nil eyes aro on tho farm
er but we notice that ho has his rain
or drouths, bugs and worms, tired
muscles and broken fences. If ho docs
not plan his work just right he is
numbered with tho has bcons and If
ho does ho isoutitlod to all he gets.
No sir, the other fellow's path Ms. not
nil strewn with roses.
Head the advertisements In the
UUIrSF, they contain information
which is valuable to you. Our advor
tlsors aro people of honesty and intrcg
ity and it will pay you to investigate
tholr wares. Wo would not knowingly
print n misleading advertisement as It
bus boon tho policy of this paper tore
fuso advertising that has tho appear
atico of fraud or fake. Our advertis
ing columns are open to the reliable
merchant and wo aim to protect our
subscribers in every way possible.
The finest corn that wo have seen
this year grows right besldo our work
shop. Wo do not know the reason for
this but wc were informed by a kind
soul tho other day that it wus because
of the breezy zephyrs that blow from
this sanctum sanctorlum which gives
the vitalizing impetus to tho growing
grain. If that has anything to do
with tho erops in this county we will
mnko n strenuous elFort to increase
our circulation mid give everyone un
equal ohnuco. One fifty n year is cheap
fertilization oven for a garden spot.
The experiment is worth trying. We
get our mail nt Hod Cloud, tho grow
iug city.
Have you noticed how many hard
working people arc giving time and
money gratuitously to build up tho
circulation of J. A. Waylnud's Appeal
to Reason and thus pile up more wealth
for the notorious grafter His hold
ings embrace real estate, mining,
manufacturing and railroad stock.
Ho is now worth overu million dollars.
He is a socialist for revenue only, and
tho shame of it is that the people who
support him don't rtalizo this fact. If
it Is against socialist ideas to pile up
nionoy why does he do it, and why
don't ho divide some of his surplus
with the poor ipeoplo who liolped to
make him a millionaire'.' Simply be
cause ho don't beliovo what he preach
es and is nothing but an agitator for
the money he gets out of It, Alum

Now is tho time when the country
newspaper men are receiving letters
from 111011 ihey do not know, and possi
bly never heard of, stating tho writer
Is n candidate for some state olllcoand
any aid tho editor can bestow will be
greatly appreciated. Yes, no doubt
it would. On the other hand any aid
tlieso politicians can bestow the editor
to recompense him for space used in
his papor would be appi eclated. If
politicians want lo advertise their
business why in the dickens don't they
Include 11 check as ovldence of good
faith, for the uuiouut of suhertlsing
thoy deslro and send along copy prop
erly signed, for advertising? Talk
about business. Ifiheieisany busi
ness In a newspaper man giving away
his spiice any more than a merchant
giving away hi goods we aio unable
to sco whore it conies in.
Occasionally one will hear tho to
mark, "I wish I was out of this town,"
and then 0110 feels liko saying, "I
wish you were." for a man who stands
on tho street corners chewing and spit
ting, tolling obscene stories, cursing
the town, finding fault with Ills grand
mother becauso she was n woman,
claiming that the merchants are a lot
of thioves, that tho lawyers and nows
papor men would skin a man to n llu
ish, nnd n whole lot more, Is u mils
mice nnd an abomination. Any town
pestered with ono ormorosuch worth
ies would bo justified in exorcising
cowhide authority on the bosom of
tholr pants. No ono is obliged to livo
where he is not suited. If ono hasn't
au encouraging word for the business
enterprise and institutions of his
town, he should shut up and "go 'wny
back and bit down." If things don't
suit you, move to where they will. A
growler nnd sorehead in a town is an
enterprise killer evory time. It would
pay a town to donate him So nud tell
him to inovo.
Communicated
Editor UHlEr:
Some tlmo ago I no
ticed tho Invitation in tho columns of
your paper to assist you in mnking
your Chief something of value to your
subscribers. Accepting that invltat
Ion I desire to call your attention to a
few tilings which I consider fundi
mental. People outsido of n given vo
cation may spmetimes see things
which uro concealed to the artist.
What I have to say will bo from the
standpoint of 11 subscriber. In the
first place I well romembcr years ago
that we waited eagerly for our home
papor not for the nows which it con
tained but for tho position the editor
took upon timely topics. In those
days tho editor was in a large measure
the moulder of public opinion and the
reason for this was that ho voiced his
own opinions in his paper. Nowadnj 8
It seems as tho editors strive to find
out what will please the fancy of their
readers and then givo a little medicine
lu sugar coatod pills. Thoy do not
seem willing to take a stand or as
sumo any responsibility. I behove
that it is tho duty of an editor to kcop
abreast of the timos, praise any worthy
notion, advocate needed reforms nnd
condemn in no unccrtc.iu terms when
necessary. An editor should not be
nfiaid to say what he boliovos nnd he
should say it for tho good of the com
munity. I liavo boon pleasod nt tim.es
with your openness nnd apparent fair
ness but I am confident that you
would suit us just as well if you as
sumed a moro agrcssivo position,
call a spado a spado and go at it with
the old time vigor of theoarly editors.
Now I trust that you will accept
these remarks in tho snmo spirit in
which they aio spent and that you
will keep in mind tho fact that 1
know nothing about running a news
paper and am simply .Informing you
of some of the thoughts which como to
me, 11 subscriber. B. J. W.
.lust a word in regard, to tho things
which our correspondent brings us.
There are timos when unj editor feels
tho necessity of speaking vlglit out in
mooting whon to do so would olfcud
the sensibilities of innocent people in
no wise responsible for the action
tnken by tho liend of tho house.
l'ooploln tlioso times seem to tako
more of a property interest in tlioir
family papor and are prone to take n
back handed slnp at the editor when
ever liu trios to handle them without
gloves. However we thank you for
your interest shown and will bear tho
suggestion In mind. Perhaps as we
grow older wo may bo able to measure
up to tho standard which you hold up
to us.
It is what they get here for their money that brings
