CHAPTER XVIII.
THE PRESS OF MACOMB COUNTY.
The newspaper press of Macomb may, with justice, claim to be the true expo- nent of popular ideas, as well as the zealous guardian of local interests. Seldom has it extended recognition to terrorism at home or tyranny abroad-never knowingly. Possibly there may have been a few instances, where ignorance, pure and simple, caused the free citizen of our Union to wander away from his surroundings and en- ter the circle of flunkyism ; there may also be some cases where the people were so short-sighted as to permit an immigrant newspaper writer to indulge in eulogies on the magnificence of trans-Atlantic peoples. Sometimes cuttings are made from monarch- ical papers, because the heading conveys an idea to the busy editor that . the arti- cle is newsy, when in reality it is only a fulsome laudation of expiring monarchy- an attempt to gain sympathy for that hideous principle. This article appears in the columns of the local paper without even a qualifying paragraph, and contributes in a degree to foster a taste for royalty, pageantry, and all such criminal nonsense in the minds of the more unthinking portion of our people. Such insulting trash should not be placed before the public. Even though this unjustifiable, foundationless praise of the enslavers of Europeans, of all their glittering palaces, of their gorgeous parades, could win any serious attention from any other than the most imbecile of ourpopulation, it is not fair to furnish imbecility with fuel; it is not right to place before it new subject matter, which enables it, however falsely, to extol the glories and the pageants of principles and men who cast a gloom over the civilization of our day. There is little in trans-Atlantic peoples. and much less in their govern- ments, which hold seven-eighths of the people in most abject servitude, to commend. The knowledge of this state of affairs in Europe, is so widespread in the United States, that it forms a full safeguard against the growth of that foolish, debasing, and most pernicious vice commonly called flunkyism. The people understand their duty to the Republic, and none among them more so than the indefatigable men, who identify themselves with the press of this county.
