The Daily Telegraph Editorial Board presents its consensus on current topics with a note from Publisher Steve Smith and Executive Editor Thomas A Colley. A biblical quote closes the excerpt, emphasizing reliance on God’s word.
Editorial notes the Mercer County I 77 and U S 460 interchange expansion since 1987 with Days Inn Cracker Barrel and other chains nearby. It credits Howard St Clair as builder and cautions growth must follow basic economic rules of supply and demand while urging regional pride and cautious optimism.
Greg Cruey of the Daily Telegraph reflects on public expectations of fairness in law. He recounts a Buchannan County case where deputy Brian Elswick faced a postponed preliminary hearing for drug fraud, noting lingering doubts about police integrity and the limits of the justice system.
The letter discusses the U S flag adoption in 1777 and urges proper display practices based on 1924 guidance and 1942 congressional actions. It argues flags should be shown on holidays and school grounds, flown from sunrise to sunset, and honored for national sacrifice. It warns changes to constitutions risk misunderstanding and ends with a prayer for America.
Cal Thomas argues Netanyahu's Likud win slows the Oslo driven rush to concessions. He contends Western media pressed for land trades while Arafat and the PLO pursue a phased plan to destroy Israel, urging security and a durable peace built on Israel's defense.
The piece notes public fatigue with the 1996 presidential race as conventions approach in August. It contrasts Nancy Reagan’s 1979 view, Bob Dole’s swift nomination trajectory, and Clinton’s preconvention challenges including Whitewater-related fallout. It highlights media dynamics and party tensions shaping the campaign’s momentum.
