The reading maa is always the in formed man, and generally leader in his neighborhood. It is not claimed that theBe good peo ple agree with every article that apppears in The Watchman, for this is impossible. The paper that always suitB everybody has never been published, and we be lieve, never will. But we do claim that they are -above the average Lit -llectually and are broadmind ed enough not to expect every ar ticle in the paper to please them at all times; further they have that high appreciation of others' viewB that we all should accord one to another. It is rare , there fore, that the little narrow mind ed fellow comes in and has The Watchman stopped because ithe editor's views aie not always an expression of rhis own.
