Show SPOILS OF VICTORY Sweetness of victory cannot sour the spirit of sportsmanship sports-manship that a far-seeing, self-respecting newspaper keeps as a stock in trade. When the newspaper declares war and attains victory the chapter is closed. It is ready to join its adversary in defending the fort. As, for instance, in-stance, in the case of the Provo, Utah, Evening Herald. That newspaper climbed over the fence recently and, with Ita horns down, went after the superintendeat of schools. In less than a week that dignitary had rescinded rescind-ed an order that high school students should, participate in only one sport. Convinced that the order wa3 not for the best interest of school or students, the Herald speedily speed-ily won the interest of community bodies. Its victory was complete. The laurels of victory were still proud on the brow of the Herald when it joined with the superintendent superintend-ent in enthusiastically supporting a proposed bond issue for the extension of school plants. The spoils of journalistic journal-istic victory are in public service. Western Publisher. r 1 |
