We believe this a solution of the secret of Republican success. An esteemed cotemporary in the 1 eastern part of the state says: "Of 1 course we want to please everybody" 5 Well, we don't. There are some ( people whom to please would in- 1 volve treason to duty; that kind we do not want to please?The Observer. In answering our correspondent at Wards, in last weeks issue it was not a point of our argument to call at tention to the uncertainty regarding the mental condition of the negro Herrin. We have not heard of any good citizens taking steps toward settling this question and in justice to the negro and the jury who will trv the case we deem it hiehlv intpo tant that ::t t exa rie b\ a boarv. o? physiciar. . fhls may lo > away w'.tb a lot of expanse | 1 c ub'can psrcy emj. u-ick- J ed up by the wealth of the nation is in a position to lure the average voter away from principle or whip him into line. We find that the products of the western farmers are unusually high, corn $1.10 per bushel, 1 bacon 12c per pound, whereas in she South cotton is only 8 l-2c. It is the vote of the west and middle west that the Republicans are doubtful about and it is very probable the very high prices are the result of Republican manipulation with a purpose to lure. Likewise the price of cotton is lowered with a view to eventually whipping into line. There is a little book entitled "In His Steps" im which one of the characters was the owner of a large daily newspaper. He with several others resolved that for a year's time they would before doing anything first ask themselves the question, "What would Christ 'do if he were in my place?" and be governed by an honest answer. The changes in the reading matter and advertisements were noticeable from the beginning and the effect upon the circulation and business of the paper was like paralysis. However having received sufficient financial aid to stem the crisis the paper began to assume a healthy steady indestructible, J growth, and continuing under this policy finally grew larger than ever c before. It supplied a place for its b constituency that other papers did s< not, giving them not always what they wanted but what they needed. ^ We confess that we do not measure up to such an ideal. It is the policy j, Of all secular newspapers to give large expression to sensational news. We know that this is what the peo- J pie want and it helps business but the ideal set forth above does away \with trashy news and/questionable a advertisements,and alsogives us some e Idea of the great responsibility res'- j1 ing upon newspaper men for the moral condition of the nation, XSestl ZEstate. 1 We will sell property for you.
