Show Some Facts. From Monday morning until Satui-day Satui-day night, the editor of "the only" never sees any other persons than Marshall the local editor, Fullmer the desk man, Earl and England members of the jlrm, and Sheriff Rig-by Rig-by who Is a ficquent visitor and jet this cdltoi writes of another not knowing "local conditions, politics, politicians and affairs generally." This editor's idea of getting In touch with local conditions Is by sitting at his desk and rolling clgaiettcs from 8 a., m. to 7 p. m., and Indulging In pipe dreams. Voteis, when did jou ever sec the Journal editor on the street or elsewhere, trying to get information informa-tion as to conditions, people or things in general? never; and jet this Is the kind or man who Is putting up big talks In "theonlj" In legaul to mat-teis mat-teis that is of vital Interest to you. The situation is ically so ildiculous as to arouse the sj mpathics of intelligent intelli-gent people rather than their risibilities. risibili-ties. This person can not know of the things of which he now wiltcs, and yet the Democrats ask you to accept ac-cept his uninformed mouthlngs. "The only" asks jou to accept as gospel gos-pel truth the wi Rings of a man who sits at his desk fiom morning 'til night and has conveisatlon with no man except those of the stall and a visitor or two. These facts do not sound well, and no doubt wc will be given ctedlt for unklndness, but these arc facts that must be faced. It is rank picsumptioti for any paper to ask jou to accept the opinions and wilt-Ingsof wilt-Ingsof an editor whoo indisposition to pait with his easy chair for even live minutes dining the day, makes him as far fiom local conditions as he is fromEgjpt. A paper whose policy It Is to keep such men in itsdcpailmcnts Is unworthy the confidence ol the people peo-ple and Its contents aie unworthy seiious consideration. |
