It is held to be an inexcusable outrage for a newspaper editor to make the slightest mistake in a statement of any sort, while pro- fessional persons, upon whose cer- tainty of knowledge and on whose statement in regard thereto, life and death or the most important interests depend, make the most serious errors without incurring the slightest criti- cism, much less blame, says the New |- Orleans Picayune. Take the judge on the bench, whose decisions’are set aside and annulled by higher courts almost every day, and the judge whose judgment is so reversed does not suffer in the least in public and pro- fessional estimation. In the same way, the physician who makes a wrong diagnosis of his patient’s disease, administers treat- ment that results in death instead of a cure, loses none of the confidence of his patrons in his skill; and he may kill any number of persons secundum artem without incurring the slighest responsibility. These are curious facts, but they are facts, and they are mentioned, not by way of excusing editorial mistakes, for there is no excuse for them. Itis because every individ- ual firmly believes that he could conduct newspapers better than those who are charged with the work, while no unprofessional per- son would undertake to usurp func- tions of the judge or the physician, FRANK DAY A “PRIVATE.” Frank A. Day, private secretary to the late Governor Johnson, chairman of the State Democratic commitee, and chief factotem of the “dems” of Minnesota, stepped out from the governor’s rooms November 1, and to use his own words, he is now “‘just one of the plain people.” That Frank A. Day is popular with those who know him best is evidenced by the splendid silver water service that was given him by certain employes of the state capitol as a token of the regard in which the donors held him. Frank asserts that he is going back to Fairmont and run his paper in peace, and settle down to the calm life of a publisher; but this settle- ment is taken with a “grain of salt” by people who have watched his energetic career of the past few yeare when he has been continually “in the limelight.” . Mr. Day is a “‘mover,” and he is in the strenuous class, at the front, all the time. The idea of a calm and peaceful life being associated with the ex-private secretary is foreign to his character. However, do what he will, Frank A. Day has alway been an obliging and kind person, and in his position as private secretary to the chief executive of the state, has performed many acts of kindness for public men of both of the old parties, and few there be, who have ever had occasion to visit the governor’s office in the past, who are not really under obligations to Day.
