coe peceraa Thinking Out Loud Nevada ity Nugget COVERS candana’s GOLD AREA IN scienrai tsi The Nevada City Nugget helps your city and county to grow in population and prosperity. By subscribing to, and you advertising in the Nugget, ‘therefore, help yourself. (By H. M. L.) There are many advantages, from the standpoint of peace of mind and the quiet life, -in living in a small town, and especially in publishing a paper in a small town. One for instance does not have to plunge intc politics with a vigor and vim, for the reason that all candidates for town offices are intimately known to everyone, since everyone is a neighbor to everyone else. Nothing the home paper could say about those iu the official race could really add or substract from the character that they have already established among their neighbors. ; In a‘ big city the situation is dif‘ferent in two murked respects. Any candidate who desires city office must look to the newspapers for a popular ‘“‘build up.”’ Often when the big metropolitan daily agrees to the ‘build-up’, the publisher will make advantageous terms for himself, terms of which the man-on-street, the Jones, Brown and Smith voters, know nothing about. And in the second place, the emoluments of office consist, not only of a fat salary, but the power to place on the payroll friends of the successful candidate. _ These evils do not always condition the election of city. councilmen in a big city, but often they do. Thus owing to the fact that the small town is well informed about the merits of all candidates, nothing the editor can say could add to the community knowledge. The only thing the small town editor can do in the community interest is to stress those policies which make for th¢substantial upbuilding and well being of the little city and to warn against subversive groups seek advantages for themselves by devious. and underhanded methods to the detriment of the community as a whole. That is precisely what the Nugget proposes to dp. that great is We notice that Lloyds, English insurance organization, betting 9 to’1 that there will be no European war within. the It might well-include a Because the require a little high. vear on the same terms. next war that starts will even more money to support 4 than the last.
