Show I ft That ono of our esteemed contcm- Srf torarlcsexpcctlng to occupy a $75,000 K ? (?) building to be erected on tho corner I Just below us, takes opportunity In Its f last Issue to suggest that this Instltu- L tion is to bo an "admlstratlon organ, K ' strictly." Wo do not labor under tho tat impression that tho said paper intend- 1 cd to cast any aspersion on tho idea, . K yet wo take this tlmo to express our v" i mind In tho matter. This paper Is to L E Jv partisan paper, first, because tho ten K i lease under which wo aro operating fci W calls for a party paper, and secondly Ki5- I because tho editor is a partisan In be- V y lief. This does not mean that wo can, f will and do sanction every act of Individual In-dividual members of tho party, but l L rather that wo will stand for and light I1 ' ' for tho best Interests of tho party as a ! " whole. "Non-partisan" papers edited W by partisans are tho most patent hum- , bugs of the age. In commenting upon ' '. public matters they start out non- j v- partisan, but wind up partisan. They ' ! ' arc simply frauds. A partisan paper l f Is tho more to bo admired. Itsacrllices j !' ; patronage for principle. It Is moro w I r honest, for It docs not play for both t, . sides, and docs not pretend to bo any- r J fe thing but partisan. Thoro Is nothing Br "i ', w antagonistic to honesty in being partl- M ' iP1 san and thero Is overy Inducement to K i ; I' dishonesty In being non-partisan or K I independent. K |
