Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 February 1908 — HOW IT SHOULD HAVE READ. [ARTICLE]

HOW IT SHOULD HAVE READ.

The Republican says of The Democrat’s new linotype, that “this prosperity was made possible by three successive republican administrations.” The item should have read, “In spite of all the attempts that have been made against it by the republican machine of Jasper oounty—not the rank and file of republicans—and the unwarranted and dispioable persecution to which it has been subjected for the past ten years, The Democrat has prospered. The people of the county generally, republicans and democrats, do not endorse such methods as has been used against that paper, and have rallied to its support. They have seen that The Demoorat was right; that it has always been right on every question of public interest to the people of the county and has ever been found on the tax payer’s side. It has, throcfeh its efforts, saved the county a great many thousands of dollars. The uses that have been made of the courts to down the paper have cost the people considerably, but all of the gang’s persecution has proved futile, and the paper oontinues to grow in ' power and influence. A remarkable showing indeed whoa one considers the tremendous fight that has been made against it by a most despicable orowd of politicians who are a disgrace to any party whom they affiliate with or seek to control.” Of course the Republican does not tell the troth on all occasions, and The Democrat pardons the omission in this instance while extending thanks for the congratulatory mention made of the matter.
