Every now and then wc mast with
u Kan who loftily tolls us that ho dona

Important fallow* wap In this office

he reads a dally aid vets tha

■uppluh* because He • read* a dally
paper. Doubtless be bus not been
reeding It long and tb* probabilities
■re that he sever read much of any
thing, Mae be would be able to see
things In a better light.
It is not ear parpoo* to talk shop
la thia column, but this suggestion
lends to a few observations. It Ts high

sad effort* in no way oonflleb The
weekly to not e* “abbreviated" edition
of * tally and woe never meant to be.
.Tb* dally boa a Add sad a alas ion.
sad so has tb* weekly. But these are
entirely dMTerssit and distinct.
The statement that a man does not
have time to rend a local weekly paper
1* all boeh! With aa air of disdain
for little things, thia all-important fel
low would have on* think his Ufa la
the, strenuous on* and that hi* tie** la
taken up with th* big things at life.
As a matter of fact, it ia extremely
doubtful If he to really eanabla of
thorough**** la anything. So much
for him and Us kind.
What or* wanted to aay hare Is thia:
The weekly paper la aa economic ne
eoaeitv. It baa its own particular field
and aarvaa th* interests of th* local
community to a way that iki ether
agsoey can. It ahcui'.d be. and some
times it. a constructive force to th*
community and la a modium through
which Is idealised and cxystalizcd the
hopes sad pirn* of the bod element
ef society. It it often nothing but
*he more shadow of what it might bo,
hat usually it ia a* good as a com
munity deserve*. K not, there would
be a better.
An to ita news value, the weakly Is
ia a class hy itself. It chronklet the
event* at tb* day and the week and
gives them a local color that can he
approbated only when oa* wanders
from th* familiar ecene* ef the home
town. Then it is that one can fully
appreciate tb* local paper. It por
tray* vividly those little things that
are ao precious to him who is sepa
rated from the life of the home com
munity. ,Th* dally may well aaaay to
cover th* big things, but the weekly
should be primarily concerned with tb*
thing* at home and play them up as
vividly a* possible always.
U ia laid that Marty aU tfai mil
lionaire* ia the United SUtee claim
to hare found their fortuuoa in tbttr
back yard*. Of course literally thin
ia not true. But what thane men who
have gambled with fortune nod won
mean to ear ia thin: They did not go
away from homo to find opportanltion.
They worn ilert enough to eoUo in op
portunity when it pruoeatod iteeif end
aimoet hi ways it wm« knorfdagat their
back doore—right at home. The raa
eon why more mb do not raocood is
probably that they hare eyee and eeO
not.
