flow often does it happen that "we
miss the law of kindness in our
struggle" to make a clever point! A
subscriber from Napoleonville clipped
a paragraph from a recent issue of
the Country Review in which some
irreverent observations were made
concerning Colonel Roosevelt's trip
to Southi America. One of the con
ceded evidences of strength of char
acter is the ability to make and hold
friends under all circumstances, and
this faculty the Colonel undoubtedly
possesses in a pre-eminent degree,
for whatever may be his faults no
man ever had more passionately de
voted friends. Our Napoleonville
friend indulged no abuse in his pro
test against the Country Review's
flippancy, merely enclosing the of
fending paragraph neatly pasted upon
a sheet of paper on which was writ
ten: "That the above is entirely un
worthy of the able and fair-minded
editor of the Country Review; is the
opinion of one of his friends and
admirers." We commend it as a
model rebuke, dignified, kind and
severe--and merited, perhaps, for
the Country Review is not a parti
san political journal.-Country Re
view.
Don't expect a newspaper to boost
7our town or your business if you do
not boost your newspaper. There are
two sides to the proposition, but the
trouble is generally that a community
wants its newspaper to do all the
boosting free of charge and then get
along the best it can without the co
operation and patronage of the com
munity.-Magnolia News..
