First cf all he must bea philanthropist by nature and: culti+ vation. He must be prepared at all times and under all circumstances to give in generous quantities of his valuable space to the personal, politi- cal and finantial advancement of every individual in the community} who has risen to the dignity of be- coming asubscriber to his paper. “This philanthrophy must be scattered with a glad hand free, without the asking and without even thanks in feturn. If these kindnesses are appreciated the editor never knows dt. Ip all communities there are con- tending elements that the newspaper editor might keep in‘a perpetual turmoil, were he sc inclined. Instead of doing so, however, he most gener- ally smooths the way where friendship Bnd co-operation may travel side by side, and he is the weekly messenger that sends out lessons teaching the advantage of harmony for mutual advancement. It is the editor more than all other agencies combined who thas it in his power to break and blast athe career of the local poiitician. Yet he forbears in innumerable cases owing to his Christian charity— from putting in cold type facts that would drive many an office-holder out of thecommunity. The wrong-dver, for the sake of his family, perhaps, is frequently shielded from disgraceful publicity. Family troubles and social Scandals are generally suppressed, when as news items they would make most interesting readingand enhance athe revenues of the publisher’s busi- wness. Week after week and year after wear the good editor goes on duing g#ovd to bis fellowman. The things A&hat should be chronicled and are left aintyped are seldom appreciated by Abose who are thus generously pro- ected. The same is equally true of «the fellow who is boosted into public place or otherwise benetitted jthrough the efforts of his journalistic griend. ‘The favors thus extended are svon forgotten. The most con- temptible, of the class mentioned, | kind referred to in this article, would "however, is the politician for whom | the editor has fought for years.

A Pittsburg newspaper reported recently that a rich corporation or- ganized to oppose the steel.trust in the manufacture of a certain line of steel had disbanded and redistributed its capital ameng its share. holders. It abandoned the field without build- ing a mill or even beginning a war- fare on a great monopoly. .

In short why not injunct the whole shooting match? —Farm, Stock and Home. The papers are discussing the Roosevelt-Hanna incident and the comments are colored somewhat by the leaning of the paper. Thefriends of Senator Hanna represent him as graciously offering Ohio’s indorsement to the president, the relations be- tween them being the mostagreeable. The anti-Hanpa element represents the president as giving the disting- usihed Ohio senator a good drubbing and forcing him to very reluctantly yield up the Ohio indorsement. It is difficult for any one to really commend the senator's action in the matter. If he was willing tw have the president indorsed he ought not to have said anything against it; if he was not willing to bave him en- dorsed he ought not to have surrend- ered his convictions on the subject merely to gratify the president. The incident, Lowever, made an issue. and it was quickly settled in favor of the president. The way is now probably clear to a renoullnation, but it is possible that Mr. Hanna was hot ready for a final struggle. If he and the mcney magnates decide that they prefer some other candidate they can still make it interesting before the convention is held. Half Fare to All Points East.
