and prosperity. By subscribing to, and

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

TOWNSEND CLUB
TO PICNIC AT
At Monday night’s meeting’ of the
Boy Scout council much enthusiasm
developed in the forward steps
which have recently been taken in
this organization. There are now
forty members of the Nevada City
Scout troop and it is hoped before
long to establish a second troop.
Horace Curnow, president of the
council, heard encouraging reports
from the building committee of
which Judge Raglan Tuttle is chairman. It was voted however to defer
building activity until later in the
year, while the immediate needs of
raising the usual maintenance fund
of $325, Nevada City’s quota of the
Tahoe Area expenses were taken
care of.
For the purpose of raising the annual subscription to this maintenance fund, President Curnow . appointed a large committee, who will
meet
