NEWSPAPER ANNOYANC2
"if r owned a newananer. what I
would say in Jt Ju( now would be a
tttontv." remarked a man the. other
day, Bays the Marfan (0.) Trtbune In
recent editorial.
He was invited to write what he
wanted to ay, with assurance that it
would be printed if his signature ac
companies It. :
He very promptly declined the ten
der, remarking that "it would bur: hii
business." There are a lot of people
willing, anxious in fact, for things to
be said in the newspapers providing
they hurt the business of somebody
-lse and not their town.
What newspaper .has not had this
very sad experience with this very
lame yellow tadpole of a citizen who
splutters and splutters about wtial
ought to be printed in a newspaper
and what ought to be omitted? And
yett when you Invite the coward to bo
responsible for the manuscript he
wanttf you to publish, he whines like
a sick dog, skulks behind this pre
text and that, and wobbles out of the
office with a grouch.
That Is not all. lie writes in that
lie will stop his paper if you don't
jrint what he himself won't sign. Yet
It you were to suggest to him that his
threat to stop his paper is pure and
simple coercion, through a threat of
blackmail be would yowl like a tom
cat with its tail stepped on.
The fellow who threatens to stop his
paper is trying to do the newspaper
la a email way the very thing th'at he
would condemn as criminal in a cor
poration that tried In any way to
throttle the freedom of the press.
Threatening to stop the paper Is an
attempt at intimidation.
But it is worse than that. Threat
ening to stop the paper IfJ a confession o

such a bone, for it means that he o
does not want the pa,per to have the

all, but insists that it shall have only
the courage of the convictions of the

Because It le Bryan
Whenever some papers get a chance
at William Jennings Bryan they do
not forget the opportunity. Commerce
and Finance has this: .
"William Jennings Bryan has sub
scribed ?1,000 to the Liberty Loan, so j
it' is announced by the Treasury De
partment at Washington. The an
nouncment speaks for Itself. We need
make no comment on It."
Well, suppose he did. The talk of
all the bankers was to the effect that
Instead of two billion being subscribed
there would be subscribed five billion.
The average man wasn't expected to
subscribe all he had. The Idea was to
let the bonds go around, because It
was argued that after peace, there
would doubtless be a premium on
them. Bryan thought that a thousand
dollars would be all right, because he
is an Investor in government bonds.
lie has bought bonds at three per
cent interest, while these pay three
and a half.
When Bryan was one time in this
town and we were settling with him
fcr a speech he had made, he had a
dozen or so checks. He said he sent
them in and invested them in govern
ment bonds. We told him if he kept
on he would be obliged to pay an in
come tax, and he said he was ready,
Bryan being a talking man and having
no time to devote to an established
business or its details took his money
and put it in bonds at a low rate of
interest. The Liberty Bond sale was
over-subscribed almost a billion dollars
and Bryan did his bit, But to talk
about him and try to belittle him be
cause he didn't invest more money in
gilt-edged security is not exactly right.
Had he failed to come across if the
Nation had really need money then he
might be criticised. But there is no
room to justly criticise his action un
der the circumstances. Greensboro

Ileldsville' assessment to
the 1100,000,000 Red Cross Na
tional Fund, which was desig
nated to be raised last week
was placed at $5,000. Owing
delay In organizing the local
committee no work was done
last week in the way of solicit

it Is hoped that the people of
Roldsville will respond liber
ally and oversubcribe the
amount we have been asked
for.
In the meantime those who
wish to make contributions will
save the committeemen time
and work by handing in their
subscriptions to any member

The selection of your shingles is an important one.
They must be of the right selection and properly seasoned.
Here is where we serve you best because we ascertain that
the shingles are right before passing them on to you.
The fact that we have selected them is ample proof of their
fitness for your use.

Wheat and Vegetable Crops
The - farmers are harvesting thej
ber. wheat crop they have ever had,
said a farmer to The Review confirm- j
ing a similar statement made by an
other farmer a few days ago. The
wheat was thin on the land in places,
the farmer continued, but the well
developed heads made good for that.
Another farmer made slight dissent
from the opinions expressed. The I
wheat crop is good, he says, but he
doesn't think it is the best ever. The
flime farmer said, however, that there
is more gardeh truck this year than
he has ever known, and hO is getting
on in years. Some of the folks ob
jected to urging about food crops, he
said, but they,, heeded the warning
nevertheless. There U much perish
able stuff, of couise, but they can eave
by canning, preserving, and drying;
much that has heretofore been allowed
to go to waste and many of them will
do that this year. More vegetables
will be Uived than ever before.
