MAKE THE PIONEER YOUR PAPER No newspaperman nor any set of newspapermen can of themselves make a mewspaper. kind of newspaper they desire. By that we mean the GENERAL PUBLIC, not a few whose sole value is doing the parrot stunt “after the big boss done spoke,” to further some scheme of cheap politics or other things in- terjected at times. * It is up to the PEOPLE to say what THEY want in the way of news and any criticism by any one is heartily welcome if made in the right manner. A courteous criticism is what is desired by a newspaper editor. Anything that can promote the betterment of the paper, if such would do 80, is heartily welcome. The editor of a newspaper likes to hear how he is getting along and it is the sensible outsider who can tell him—but not the sorehead or poll parrot. It is as much the editor’s business to know the pulse of his readers, and more so than others not “in the harness.” And he knows many things of his critics that he keeps to himself, many of them unknown to those they most affect. The way to approach a newspaper is not to go around with some misconstrued fdea grabbed by a soft shell or some wart who hears his master’s voice, but to enter the newspaper office like a gentleman and tell how he looks at so and so. He will be as courteously received as is his approach and there’s no need of acting otherwise than a gentlemar This bulldog stuff or running off at the mouth business gets little, for a newspaperman is no target for any individual abuse and has all the privileges and perogatives of any other individual. ; Every newspaper is criticised. It always is. And in many, many Instances those who have been strongest in their criticism of fancied ex- ceptions have been favored time and time again when the newspaper knows well the individual has a past that would look like a checkerboard it 1aid out, and there are also many times when the paper is expected to tear the crust off such persons in question at opportune times. Any shoestring vaporings concerning a mewspaper are of no effect. We've heard some of the piffle and many others have verbally stripped the monger clean to his hide. - A condition may exist in a community which should be clarified, but it isn't for a spotted hyena to attempt. ’ The Pioneer wants to be the PEOPLE’S paper_and not for a moment the ORGAN OF ANY BUNCH WHOSE UNDER-COVER MACHINATIONS MIGHT BE WELL KNOWN. And if there are any who at any time be- lieve the Pioneer is on the wrong track perhaps a little explanation might throw a ray of light not before noticed or known of, if the critic would call in the right spirit. But the Pioneer refuses to be browbeaten or coerced by any “tin horn” who is doing errands for any bunch with dull axes. R e It is stated upon excellent authority that the American flag is flown over military and government buildings, the flag to be lowered at sunset and hauled to the mast in the morning. There are no federal regulations concerning private individuals. That Dutch scientist who built a room with vacuum walls to give him quiet, went to unnecessary trouble and expense. Most any business house that doesn’t advertise could meet his need. There is nothing strange in the claim of a European scientist that he can make diamonds from chips. Many a “chip off the old block” has turned out to be a diamond in the rough. ) President Wilson has decided that conscientious scruples need not disqualify a man from active service in road building.

We had no idea the New Jersey courts were so lenient. ’ When a neutral country decides to enter the war on the side of our allies, the next thing to be decided is the size of the loan we are to grant her.

W. documents were made. ‘Where the money came to finance the manifold activities of the move- ment under investigation is a sub- ject which the grand jury will delve deeply. Many evidences, it is said, point to a German fund from which money was lavishly supplied for work of the alleged conspfrators. United States attorneys in many sections of the country were today making a minute study of documents taken in the recent raid. Mr. Fitts declined today to comment on the Federal activities in connection with the I. W. W. raids further than to say that reports from all sections were “very satisfying.” HURCHES.
