Show ABOUT newspapers there has been go much local dig cassion concerning tle various claims merit and of newspapers in ogden during the last few days that it may not be in appropriate to review the subject briefly first of all the citizens of city aro divided in their opinion concerning the value of a newspaper an advertising medium for enterprising business men but we believe it ia tho opinion of the majority of our prudent and mer chants that judicious and constant advertising in a journal which finds threat favor with the people and therefore has a large and respectable circulation u one of the most valuable aid to successful competition in this age of vigorous and lively business rivalry certain it ii that the great american merchant princea of today attribute tho extent and rapidity of their great successes largely if not entirely as in the case of A of new york city to constant cont tant and liberal advertising men of mall and penny wisa pound foolish ideas may indeed fail to see the real advantages of using the columns of a leading journal to solicit public patronage and although such men may make n moderate au cceal in business and by celoso economy lave in the course cf lifetime a mall competency yet they never make in the apace of a comparatively short period any considerable fortune their busi nass ideas are not abreast of the progress of tho age because the money which they invest in advertisement ti does not back with interest directly from the publisher of auch advertisements they imaino that all th capital 11 invested is a total loi h they do nt understand how A larg and conspicuous advertisement appearing consta before the eyes of the public in the columns of a newspaper gradually impresses the public mind and creates a favorable impression eure to bring in patronage sooner jor later newspaper advertisements popularize ft firm and gihei a aart of to a oana business busia ess and locality and when the people ft firm keeps and tho kind of goods or

among the largest number of well to do residents who are likely to need the merchandise offered for sale A paper that has a thousand subscribers is worth aftan advertising medium ut ten throes aa much as a paper that has only ona hun dred regular readers this fact ia and needs no demonstration in abi community there is no journal that haa such an reunion as ho HERALD this paper place iu the home of almost every well todo resident of weber county aud in city there is not one intelligent and enterprising gentleman of means and progressive views who does not read it in connection with this fact it may not be inappropriate to note what we consider a real injustice practiced towards us no doubt in advertently advert antly aad with the belt intentions tent ions by the city council that honorable body courteously published the city official directory in our columns and paid us for the same a mere nominal bum of per month when a new and paltry paper started up with not much over a tenth of our entire ciraula cir cula alon and offered to publish the aade directory for per month the city council then refused to allow us more than for the advertisement notwithstanding the fact that we furnished the directory to ten times as many readers and should as a matter of evenhanded even handed justice have had ten timea as much it is true that we might have refused to insert the directory for the but the management of the 0 HERALD is liberal and public spirited and M the publication of the directory wa benefit to the public we chose to donate to the public what the advertisement was really worth over and above what we were allowed by the city fathers we try to publish a newspaper that will be a credit city to this end we pay liberally for the associated press telegrams and employ able and experienced editors at jarufe salaries we of course have opinions of our own on all the current topic of the day and moreover we have the courage to express our views candidly and emphatically and we take it for granted ahat no true american citizen in utah or elsewhere will think the less of us because we honestly differ with him or her in our religious or political ideas the right of the free ex of opinion is dear to all american hearts and every individual ought to grant ungrudgingly to others that which is claimed as a common privilege for themselves in the news columns of the HERALD all sects and political or religious societies socie tier and individuals of all shades of belief or party affiliation shall have a fair and hospitable representation so long as they are reputable and proper citizens but in the matter of editorial opinion wo would be dishonest and therefore unworthy of public confidence if we did not speak out plainly our convictions and support candidly such measures principles and institutions as may meet our conscientious approval A remarkable REMAH KABLE of canine sagacity came under the observation observation of a san francisco reporter lately the news gleaner waa walking along the street pretty well out of the business portion of the city when he chanced to notice a little child some three years of age at play with an immense
