procedure an independent ircsa the ottuwa journal n pro conservative news paper in a recent issue had the following with re ft re n on to the average newspaper of to day the average politician it would nppear is incapable ot understanding that a newspaper can be independent r a party to him to even the besi politicians every newspaper must be either a little liberal or a little conservative the truth that it is one thing to support the principles of a party or some of them and another thing to support the party organization through thick and thin cannot it seems be grasped yet more and more newspapers become independent of purties their publishers have come to realize that there is no block in ntiy single party that is coth pletcty black or notwrii m any ot party thn wholly white and they are guiding themselves ac- it will perhaps take some hite cordingly it is better so time for the politicians to get over their mystification but they will get over it the day of the old party

to the mem ory of the men who fell in the great war and in the celebrating of armistice day with quiet reverent en thusiosm year after year the spirit of our people in erecting nnd unveiling the acton soldiers monu ment on the first anniversary of armistice duy no vcmber 11 191u the first monument to be erected in the county is being emulated year by year the ceremonies are invariably participated in by the community as a whole and this is especially gratify ing the interest here remains unabated the people being determined not to forget the debt of gratitude due to the brave men who made the supreme sacrifice and whose names liveth forever more the ratepayers day nomination day for the municipal elections is only a little over two weeks away the proclamations calling for the meeting have this year set the houi for seventhirty in the evening the council has done all in its power to give every ratepayer an op portunity to attend this important meeting and have a share in the proceedings whether more interest will be taken will be watched for keenly it seems peculiar that such little interest is taken in most towns in municipal politics men offer their services for these positions for little or no salary and they ore to be commended for their public spirit but surely it is as little as uny ratepayer can do is to show his or her interest by taking part in the annual uom motions it is not necessary to go in a critical mood nnd faultfinding spirit but any one who has held office will be filnd to explain any question a ratepayer seeks information on if you have followed the workings of vnrious public bodies throughout the year and appreciate the statesmanship of the individ ual who have held office do uoi hesitate to re nomin ate them and show your appreciation if you believe i certain man would make good in public ofllcc solicit him to accept the office don t wait for him to solicit our vote tfcmembci the representatives you elect arc judged by the outride wod us

because it is lo all intents and purpose 11 fifth wheel to the- coach of government a body which was more of a hindrance than a help to good government premier rhodes and his government proposed tc abolish it some time ago but the right to do so was challenged with the result that the matter has been settled by the privy council this brings up the question of the status of the dominion senate there are those high in the political life of the counirj who have long dcclar ed a desire to abolish that hod chinning that it was a drag on the wheels of icform and progress noth ing much has ever been done towards this end how ever in spite of the protestations of politicians perhaps the stumbling block was the doubt winch existed as to the right of the commons to summarily pill an end to ihc senates existence now however it has been decided bj the highest court in the empire that one of the provinces lias the right to abolish its senate so there is the possibility that what 13 possible for a province may perhaps be done also by the dominion moneymaking not sole object mr s f herman publisher of the border cities star printed a personal statement on the editorial page of his paper the other day explaining why he launched the campaign to clean up windsor and neighboring municipalities like other publishers who realize that a paper can have a higher mission than money makng he received numerous abusive anonymous letters chiirgjny him with ulterior motives these he treated with more than the usual consideration replying to some of them instead of consigning them directly to the wustcpaper basket and in replying he made the point which newspoper ri aders do not always appreciate that before starting the campaign the cost was counted and it was faced without regret he reckoned on losing readers pos sibly on losing advertising and also on losing friend ship but lhese things important as they are dwindle 111 to insignificance at times in the light of a news puper s duty i ully undeistanding this mr herman wrote it would be far better it seems to me to have ihc stir cease publication altogether it would be fai better to see its new building ciumblmg into dust
