Col. Aiken, editor OF the llllwau-
kee Etcning WISCONSIN, in referring
to the newspaper business says: The
average newspaper reader thinks he
could improve the newspaper he reads
if he we're the editor It is very
common for editors Of long expert
ence-- men who have devoted a life
time to the profession TO get letters
from subscribers offering advice. No
doubt some editors need advice; but
as a rule, an editor fit to be in his po-
sition, knows better than any one
reader what should go into his paper.
The readers Of a newspaper are a
community, and their wants and
tastes are broader than those Of one
man, hence the acute editor will find
his way to the satisfaction Of the
greatest number In this course he
will circumscribs himself only by a
regard for truth, right and public
good. He is, however, constantly
tempted by the large sale OF purely
nasty and immoral papers, to increase
