Show THE TIMES RtPORTER. Knowing the great and growing necessity ne-cessity for a news organ in SaDpete county we herewith present the firs' number ot The Times-Reporter, devoted de-voted to the interests of Sanpete county In general and Manti in particular-We particular-We will endeavor to pnbHsh an aceouat of all the important events that transpire tran-spire from time to time together with all items of general interest. In politics we will b3 independent, fair and impartial to all, with favors to none. We will not take sides w ith any party, but will give Bpace in our columns col-umns to sdvocates of both parties who desire to express their views on political subjects. Oar object in doing this Is that we desire to aid in the political politi-cal education of tbe people of Sanpete, and believe that our paper can accomplish accom-plish more good In this way than by being a partisan organ. For instance: were we to publish a democratic organ republican writers eonld not have the privelege of using our columns that they can now enjoy at vice versa. We know, as do all our readers, that if a man Is a true democrat, or republican-be republican-be Is such from principle, and ia order to be a member of either party from principle he must be familar with tbe principles and doctrines of both parties, and in oar endeovor to assiBt those who desire to become acquainted with the principles and doctrines of either party, we will, from time to time, publish articles arti-cles from tne pens of leading democrats and republicans of the nation. We firmly believe as above that if a man is a democrat (or a republican) be skould be such from principle, and who may we ask, can be a member of either party from principle unless he has a thorough understanding of the principles princi-ples of his party? Can those, who as jet are not members of either party, be enabled en-abled to say honestly, truthfully and without prejudice, to which party they belong unlets they have both sides clearly and honestly presented to them? We think not, and therefore will try and have both sides honestly and clearly presented by able writers. We do not wish our readers to infer from the above that we are trying to 'stand iu" with both parties, such an Idea would be preposterous. We ere p.. feilwfcipg ca Independent paper and will try to be, and will be, lndeppudeut of any aud ail political organizations, whaisu&vsr. We will make troth the bright star to guide our foot-steps along the highway 0; justice and fairness to public favor. We firmly believe in principle and are not publishing The Tmes-Repokt-E2 for oar personal gain alone, bat also because we believe It will be an aid to our community, and we hope, a not unworthy un-worthy addition to the newspaper world. Above ail we maintain the right to praise or censure any act or acts of any person or party when truth, honesty and justice seem to demand it. |
