STATEMENT OF POLICY BY NEW EDITOR OF TRIBUNE | O MANY PEOPLE have dropped into the office and asked me what the Policy of the paper is going to be under my management that I feel it a pleasure, as well as a privilege, to give the essential features of my policy. entire subject, and I shall not attempt to do more than briefly outline a few principles. 1. To boost Casper at every opportu. nity and in every way possible. This means keeping Casper on the front page of the great eastern newspapers. It means bringing prominent people to our city, such as public speakers, magazine writers, etc. It means interesting east- ern capital in the development of our natural resources for the upbuilding of our city and increasing the population. 1t means more brsiness for all of us,- for our merchants, and giving our people the advantages which can only come with the growth of our city. It means making Casper the center of’ activities in this state. 2. To boost our churches, schools, lo. cal clubs and civic organizations and everything which promotes happiness, pleasure and benefit to our people. 3. Te boost for better highways, both in the city and vutside. There is no other feature that strikes a visitor more forcibly than paved streets in the city and modern, up-to-date roads in the country. Each year should see the lay- ing of a good many blocks of new pav- ing and the building of new highways. Good roads lessen the distance between town and country, enccurages trade and makes for a better comiaunity spirit. 4. To promote neighborliness, friend. ships, brotherly love, peace and har- mony among our people, and to refrain from any kind of knocking. The writer believes a knock can only hurt the knocker, and we do not know this word in our vocabulary. In our dictionary and vocabulary the word “knocking” has been replaced by the word “boost.”” We It is impossible to cover the shall strive to discover and support the best man for the best offices, but if we give a candidate our support we will en- deavor not to say anything unkind about his opponent. We believe we can say nice things about a candidate without knocking his opponent, and that in the fina) analysis the fair-minded people of the West will judge for themselves and select the best man if the facts are pre- sented. 5. We believe capital and labor should go hand in hand and settle their differences by arbitration and concilia_ tion. We are for a square deal for the laboring man every time and are anxious to promote better living conditions among the wor king people. The labor- ing man who is willing to give a full day’s work for a fair wage will receive our hearty support. 6. To bring business tu Casper. The geichees and best way to do this is to ouble our circulation among the people in outlying towns so that our merchants who advertise in The Tribune will reap the benefit of the weaith of other cities as well as of our own. 7. To make The Casper Daily Trib. une the best newspaper in the West and to give our people a paper which shall be equal in every: way to the greatest cosmopolitan dailies. To accomplish this we need the support of our loyal readers and advertisers. We believe a paper should be sold on its merits and that the first purpose of a newspaper to its read_ ers is to give a faithful account of every day’s events in the most interesting and readable style possible. In closing, we believe that Casper is destined to be a city in excess of 50,000 popu- lation, and we shall leave no stone unturned im our effort to reach this CHAS. W.
