connected with daily newspaper edito-
rial work: "A man who writes for u
newspaper is much more 4 slave than q
man who follows amy other profession.
We are told that the law is i jealous

it is much more true Of the profession

but nothing Of this sort is possible with
the editor. He is like 4 galley-slave-

All true, but then he gets passes on
the railroads, and tickets to tho circus
and the theatre, and he goes on the Ed.

fear and respect him. and he has more

have in Il month. And besides, he'll

Frederick the Great, the founder of
Germany, could do it. During hts wars
with the nations which attacked him
on all sides, he carried copies of his own
verses in one vest pocket and vial of
poison in the other. The poetry he
wrote to let off his surplus genius and
the poison he carried to swallow in the
event of his overthrow. Sandwiched,
however, between poetry and poison,
he won, and Germany was the result.
