The Tar Heel is not given to horn
blowing,-It never plows its own and
it does not blow the horn of any in
dividual; The Tar Heel is not prosti
tuted to the service of one individual
Jo "vent his spleen on knother! No, sir,
not it we know it The" Tar Heel does
what it thinks is right, not what you
think '(everytime) hence the Tar
Heel has enemies, lots of them too,
who would like to see 'her bust"
The enemies of the Tar Heel take
occaion often to vent their spleen
upon the Tar Heel because the Tar
ieeL-wiu not vent their uleen on
somebody else, r These enemies too,
propound' questions to the Tar Heel.
Here, is what :a: fellow . wanted to
know of the editor of the Tar Heel
a few days ago. "Does the Tar Heel
stand for Anything?" .
Well, well, does the Tar Heel
stand for anything?" Let's see about
that. ;; ' .. ; .-. :
See here, Let's ask you a question.
Money is the best test, isnt it? A
fellow will barter principle for money,
soner than for anything else.
Say, did you know it, it is pretty
tight times now. It's about all a fel
low can do to make both ends meet,
And we have to hustle seven days in
the week about 18 hours to the day
to do that Its the disposition of the
average person to seek an easy place.
We are along with the "average."
Say. do you know that if the Tar
Heel would sacrifice one of its prin
ciples, it could lie down in "Green
Pastures'' in . a . land "of milk and
Honey .Do you know Sir, that the
whole force from owner of the plant
to office boy could lay in the shade
tUg not .weather, live sumptuously
Upon the best and electric fans to
cool them. The rising of the sun or
the going down thereof, would never
trouble us.
It is a fact, now listen.
We picked up a paper publish in
a town -not more than a thousand
miles from this 'TDTirg' in looking
over its advertising column, we found
that it carried 18 or 20 columns of
whiskey advertisements (in fact pret
ty nearly everything was a whiskey
ad) That paper gets pretty good
prices for this stuff too.
Do you know that the Tar Heel
can carry and could haye been carry
ing for the past six months everyone
of these ads and even more at a
great deal better price? Now lets
.figure a little. 20 columns of whiskey
ads, 20 inches each, 400 inches at
25 cents per inch, makes $100 per
weefcj or $400 per month;" Now could
we hot fare sumptuously upon this?
Wouldn't have to wear out a ; pair of
shoe soles every two weeks tramping
the streets chasing after closed fisted
merchants who "Cuss us because we
Will not do their advertiseing foccas

In't this a tempation?
No. we are not afraid to do it
either. We would not lose 100 sub.
scribers out of "our list if we car
ried $400 worth of whiskey ads per
month.
It's principle, principle, downright
principle nothing else. We are against
whiskey and we fight itat a cost
Of $4,800. Hie, there you

thrust at her prosperity without . our
resenting it. It is our theme, to harp
