For the pant year and a half, the various ring-defending newspapers j of Jasper coanty have seen fit to! parade before the pnbiic fialae and misleading statements concerning! the private and financial affairs of the editor of The Democrat, matters in which the public had; no concern whatever. So far as we are concerned sack methods; are accepted with a resignation bora of long experience. We; have become so accustomed to be-] ing called everything that an in-! solent foe can invent that it fails to pierce even skin deep an organism long enured to such poundings. As previously stated, w think the public is little concerned | in the private or financial affairs of the newspaper men of Jasper county. However, as oar brethren of the craft seem to think otb-j erwise, we have about concluded | to devote a little space each week' to the private and financial stand-! ing of each of the newspaper editors of Jasper county and to the various county officers, beginning with the President of the Board of County Commissioners and going on down to the Deputy-County-Treasurer- Truant - Officer, who once taught school at Fair Oaks. Should we decide to publish these interesting biographies and incklently trend on some tender corns in referring to the Chicago or Indianapolis end of a ! few administrations, we would re- | spectfully remind the offended in- ! dividuals that news is news. and that the public is no doubt much more interested in the private life of its official servants than in that of an ordinary citizen.
