The Value and Usefulness
of the Local Paper
We would like to say a few
words relative to the value and
usefulness of the local paper.
We contend that, the local news-
paper huH a field of usefulness
of its own.
It occupies a field that cannot
be filled by any other paper.
There are many, reasons for
this among which is the fact that
it is published in the community
where it circulates and is pub-
lished under the ever watchful
aye of its subscribers. It has a
direct and immediate responsi-
bility to its subscribers which no
other paper has or can have.
The looal newspapar is in con-
stant touch with the people in
the community where it circu-
lates and it is intimately ar.d
directly identified with their in-
terests, desires and needs.
When the local paper is right-
ly conducted, is fearless and
progressive, it stimulates thought
creates sentiment, and leads in
every movement for the better-
ment of conditions in the com-
munity. Therefore it proves its
value and usefulness and is one
of the best institutions a com-
munity can have.

First the cost of living gees up,
then wages must be put up to
correspond, then the increase in
wa<?ps forces the cost of living
still higher and by that time we
are ready for another wage raise
Where it will stop is a question
for someone to answer.

Commoner Mr. Bryan meets the
attacks of thofe who aro opposed
to Democratic reforms, an well
as the clever misrepresentations
made by the crgans of the "spec-
