Part of the time these • pistles emit wrath about : something that has been printed in the new’spajier; part of the time . about Somethinir that hasn’t been ; printed. But they have an unvarying . conclusion, which is a threat to ; "stop the paper ’’ Os course every editor respect© the opinion of his fellow men, whether they chance to be readers of his particular paper or not; if h^ didn’t he couldn’t expect his fellow men to respect his opinions. Btu the editor who undertook to vary the policy of his newspaper to suit every complaint or humor every hobby of several thousand readers ’ would soon find himself in the poor 1 house or the padded cell division of the lunatic asylum. For this reason an editor with a mind of his own ' and a certain amount of work ! perform every day is obliged to keep | a special corner of his waste basket ! ready for the communications of heated individuals who feel the im- I pulse to “stop the i>aper.” People have been “stopping papers’’ for a great many years but for 1 some inexplicable reason newspapers ; continue to be published The answer probably is that where one individ- ; ual w'ith narrow conceptions and ’ hidebound prejudices takes offense j at some truthful article several huu-| died more are inclined to applaud I it. Another reason why editors are more or less contemptuous of the ‘ Stop-the-paper” bulldozers is that th great bulk of American citizens respect a newspaper which is frank and courageous, even when they dis" I agree with its policies, while they have only disgust for one which ! turns its sails to catch every passing breeze. This is a free country, and nothing is freer than the privilege of taking a newspaper or leaving it alone. Editors would be -the last of all persons to wish it otherwise. But the dear reader who imagines that “stopping the paper’’ also stops the presses is the victim of a childish illusion. He hurts himself far more , than he hurts the offending editor ’ । or newspaper. The Editor’s Mai! “To the Walkerton Independent ' ! Dear Sir: Please send my paper to North Judson.

South Bend, announces a week’s engagement of the screen version of that immortalized contribution to the library of classls literature, Dante’s "Inferno.” The foii lowing re\tew of this picture, written I by a newspa|>er man in another city where the production was presented: | "’Dante’;: Inferno’, the picture which has been talked about for I months, for this reason or that has come to town at last. So much adpance comment is floating around on "Inferno" about Its hell-roaring Ilade^ senes, its hundreds of ahem unadorned ladies; demons lasbtng aforesaid young ladies ” itb whips or throwing them into lakes of burning brimstone, that we slipP> d an extra aspirin tablet or two in our pocket, and went to the thea- » tie prepared for the worst. Well, we can’t deny that we had ■our feelings prodded and jabbed and our emotions thrown around from the depth’s of infernal woe to the heights of celestial bliss, all in one evening, but we came out of the theatre smiling and happy, with the sense of having enjoyed ourselves Immensely. It is that kind of picture. Fantastic, dramatic, beautiful, spectacular, unique these and a whole ’ bunch of other two-dollar adjecI tibes are necessary to describe this ■ picture. "The hell stuff is strictly as per ■ advertisement, and there are just । enough scary little touches mixed, j up with the fire and brimstone and ; writhing souls to put the Dante part । over with a bang. A modern story : about a terrible-tempered old mil- ■ lionaire and his family has been I worked into the picture without de- j trading one iota from the greats poet’s conception of Hell. Tn fact, : to our mind, it built up the picture; j in very satisfactory style. ! “Really the picture is well worth j I seeing; it has be^n reverently! ; handled, it is a faithful picturiza- ■ i tion of the Dante text an 1 it sets! | some new high marks in motion pic- ; j ture photography 7 . Better see it.” I “Dante’s Inferno” will play ' the : > Oliver at popular prices for one week ■ 'commencing Sunday, January 4th.
