CUTTING EDITORIALS.
j-
The editor of' The Journal Ib
called a knocker, or a kicker, or
an unfair critic, but we are
of opinion tiiat that judgment is
unfair, for the writer tries to
view eva'ything in the light of,
int^est of the public in general,
and the motive determines al
human conduct.
An editor, if he is honest,
writes In the interest of all peo
pie in defense of right principles,
and in criticism of mistakes, or
enforcement of wrong principles.
By mistakes and wrong prinici
pies I mean all those things that
prevent the game of life being
played fair, and when an editor
says sharp, cutting things about
the other fellow and in your fa
vor you shout amen!
If we have wrongei any man,
we apologize, but we do believe
the man who accuses us of play
ing favorites has little regard
for the truth. We may have been
considered at times perverse, a
Anocker, a disorganizen^a stirrer
up of strife. It would seem that
that impression is dssired by some
at this time, when in reality we
were interested in equal justice
to all—to those who meet the
expense account. That’s all.
If the wording is sharp and cut
ting, it’s intended against wrong
principles, and not a thrust at
some person or persons who may
be involved. Honestly, we are
not disposed to make personal
attacks. And the apparent
harshness of some statement we
have made is because of our de
testation of wrong. It was never
our purpose to be unkind, and
we state things strong to attract
attention. Hereafter when you
read a rutting statenaent in The
Journal, eliminate all. persoiali-
ties and think of the I)rinmple
involved; and it will not look ug
ly and unkind.

No human succeeds in life
when he allow those with whom
he lives to do the thinking for
hiin. i
It is not a fair game when one
side suggests to and secures
compliance with movement the
supposed opposition makes. This
d^nes modern day leadership.
The editor of The Journal is
not opposed to public schools.
Our public school system must
be maintained because this is
practical democracy. We do be
lieve. however, that needless ex
pense should be eliminated.
He who does not sympathize
with suffering when he sees it is
a hard hearted wretch: and he
^bo causes suffering by a selfish
advancing of his own interest
and enjoys luxurious living at
the expense of the sufferers sur
rounding him is a devil. And
there are many devils in the
United States clad in pretended
garbs of innocence.
Permanent Chairman Mondell
in his address before the Repub
l^n National convention in
Cleveland, Ohio, last week boast
ed of the benefits of a Republi
can tariff law, which brings
prosperity to the American
manufacturers and la hors. And
to assist American agriculture i
loan of one hundred million dol
lars had been arranged to assist
farmers. The falacity in this
doctrine is, that fpr Iclass legis
lation in the form of tariff laws,
loans to farmers would not be
necessary. It will not be long
before government pets will have
that hundred million dollars.
