Comment A contemporary says Newspaper men arc blamed for a lot or things tlcv cannot help such tilings as using partiality in mentioning visitors news folks and leaving out about simply print the news they can find An editor should not be expected to know the names and residences of your uncles aunts and cousins even if lie should sec them of on the train Tell him about it Its news that makes the newspaper and every man woman and child in the neighborhood could be associate editors if would Please hand in your personals and all other news items When to Stop you are convinced that a paper deceitful it that it is unclean lacks enterprise and news stop it paper that you dishonest and When convinced stop it When it fails to give you Kill dont stop a to be honest courageous enter prising and clean simply because its editor has written Ms own sincere views instead of yours or somebody elses for if you do you are putting a premium on insincere journalism and serving notice on an editor that the way to success is lo write what he thinks will best His readers in stead of what he honestly believe the truth Things Conversing with a monument dealer the other day he told us the ideas of people were changed very much A few years ago the man who in life would have purchased and had erected a monument in life lot in the during life time would have been looked upon a little oft mentally To day it Is no unusual thing to receive an order from the living to put in position a granite or marble slab and there arc instances where people have had prepared under their own inspec tion the vaults We think we can see no good rtttson for the placing of monuments In life by those who are able to do so Observation discloses the fact that when the matter of pro viding a slab is left to the heirs it very often is never done They may quarrel over the division of the estate hut often there is no monument erect ed over the grave of the one to whom they are indebted for the wealth and comforts money brings This may be but not always It is noticeable that the pure white monu ments once the only ones used now- share the honors with the blue and red granite and the contrasts give variety if not beauty to the cemeteries Firemens About took in the Firemens Ex cursion on Wednesday and it was evi dently enjoyed tho the day was a hot one Quite a number of people took ad vantage of
