He Should Try a Bi-Weekly.
Goodland’s new paper, The Tribune, is coming right to the front, and it is but a question of time when ite ranting partisan competitor will tire of holding the bag and send his outfit to the junk shop. The Herald’s spirits of political intolerance can’t be overcome even by its semiweekly spasms. The Tribune is clean, well edited, enterprising, popular and free of partisan bias. The following is a sample of the Herald man’s mastery of the English languages “The riot act as well as the death knell to the two old parties on last Tuesday at the Populist Convention. The denunciation was terrible but as it is predicted upheavel is put off for several months, we can rest easy for a time.” Buy a 25c grammar, brother, and confine yourself to items of one sentence and words of four letters before you strike out so recklessly again. Possibly if you would change your paper to a bi-weekly it would touch a popular chord, for it is reasonable to believe that the less of such language mutilation that your readers have dished up to them the better it will please them.
