Show after one year just a year ago this paper began under new niana management gement at that time we outlined in an article on the front page something of the policy we would attempt to follow after a year that policy has not changed we still expect to treat news on its own merits we still expect to stand for what we believe to be right irrespective of who might oppose us and we do not expect to run from anyone just because he carries a big stick the past year has been fruitful of varied experiences we have been amused by some home of them and some of them have proven very embarrassing but we have learned a little from them that may help us to avoid a rec urance of some of the most glaring mistakes we have made perhaps the outstanding outgrowth of the past years experience as publisher of the paper is an aak awakening ening to the real good that is in people it is our firm belief that the vast majority of men and women and all the boys and girls are fundamentally good and that when they act otherwise it is because they have brushed agonist the wrong kind of influence without some of these relationships that have come because of peoples inherent desire to be friendly and helpful life would be robbed of much of its attraction and charra charm we ive want at this time to reaffirm our faith in human kind and to express our gratitude to all who have helped us during the past year PLATTE D LYMAN |
