HE NEWSPAPER YOUR REPRE- 
SENTATIVE. 
One of the most important fune- 
tions of the modern newspaper is to 
act as the representative of the com- 
munity in all dealings with the out- 
side world. The.needs of the town 
in its relation to the state are voiced 
by the home newspaper. The ad- 
- yantages of the community as a place 
to live and to do business in are sim- 
ilarly made known to outside in- 
 quiries. . 
_ present an appearance of prosperity, 
- just as the salesman who represents 
a business house among distant buy- 
ers needs to be well dressed. 
When a newspaper circulating in 
_ the outside world presents a poor 
typographical appearance, people 
: gain the impression that the town 
and the business men which it repre- 
sents are too poor to support a first- 
3 -elass sheet. 
; It is the pride of this paper that it 
has been able to present a_ typo- 
graphical appearance superior to 
others of its class. We have produc- 
ed clean. press work, making that 
 elear cut contract between black 
’ and white that is easy for the eyes. 
Our type for advertising was select- 
ed with an eye to symmetry. We 
provide a degree of display for the 
news that emphasizes the story but 
avoids the poster like excesses of 
the yellow journal. Wherever this 
newspaper circulates it must give 
an impression that it represents a 
substantial community. © 
At the same time, like all ambi- 
tious newspaper people, we have our 
visions of betterment. We wish con- 
stant improvement, and this is to be 
had only on the basis of liberal sup- 
port from our public. Let us all re- 
member that such support not mere- 
ly gives an interesting paper to read, 
but it helps the publisher to keep on 
improving the typographical ap- 
pearance of the paper, making it 
even more an honor to the communi- 
ty whose life it mirrors. 
Always there’s one classified ad 
that’s worth all the rest to you.

Washington, Nov. 23—Because 
many of them will not come back 
after the short session beginning in 
December and ending on March 4, 
fewer Members of Congress than us- 
ual will bring on their families and 
enter into the social activities of the 
winter. 
this will make things dull in Wash- 
ington, but as a partial offset there 
will be a more brilliant season, per- 
haps, in diplomatic circles than us- 
ual. . There have been several addi- 
tions to the diplomatic corps, all of 
whom will make their bow to society 
this winter, so that in official circles 
things will be quite gay despite the 
comparative dullness in the Con- 
gressional set. 
The session itself is likely to be 
far from dull. President Taft has 
let the word go out that he will re- 
double his efforts to force through 
Congress legislation which was stall- 
ed at the last session, and which he 
would like to see enacted while the 
Republicans are still in control of 
the House. In consequence, he will 
try to keep all of his congressional 
adherents in Washington in order to 
get his various policies enacted into 
law. ry 
This is not at all agreeable to the 
Democrats or to some of the Insur- 
gents. Now that they stand on the 
threshold of achievement — after 
‘(wandering sixteen years in the 
wilderness’’, as their doughty lead- 
er, Champ: Clark, expresses it, they 
feel disposed to grumble when a Re- 
publican Congress, whose policies 
have been repudiated by the country 
at large, settles down to work with 
the express purpose of enacting a 
mass of legislation which the Demo- 
erats assert the Nation does not 
want. The Republicans, on the other 
hand, do not concede that the action 
of the voters in returning a majority 
of 59 Democrats to the House of Re- 
presentatives really repudiated the 
Republican policies. The Adminis- 
tration is disposed to believe that 
this is merely one of those unac- 
countable spasms which occasionally 
gripe the country, and that possibly 
a year will be enough to make the 
ereat mass of the voters sorry that 
they did it. However this may be, 
the Democrats are already muttering 
and suggesting that they have it in 
their power—with their half-bro- 
It has been suggested that: 
thers, the Insurgents, to help them 
to be sure—to force an extra session 
which may last all summer and play 
havoe with the carefully planned 
program which the Republicans have 
been years in carrying out. Whether 
the Democrats will conclude that it 
is better to await the natural order 
of events and not take up their le- 
gislative program in earnest until 
the winter of 1911 will not be deter- 
mined for some time, but it may. be 
counted as a certainty that the com- 
ing short session will be as full of 
interest and action as almost any one 
could ask.
