FRIDAY. Oct. 16. 1908.
Barnum, the great circus man
said of the American people, "They
love to be humbugged." 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

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,
