| physician, the lawyer, the banker or the
railroad man in matters relating to their re-
spective professions will calmly sit down
and tell the editor how to conduct his busi-
ness, and fancy he has conferred favor
upon the wislder of scissors and quill He
can understand the skill of the surgeon;
he can appreciate the vast machinery
of Q banking or railroad business, but Of
the intricacies of newspaper work be has
! not the slightest conception And yet to run
newspaper a man must have executive
ability of O high order. He must have q
broad and comprehensive knowledge Of men
and affairs, a quick and unerring judgment
| and an ability to tell what he knows and
what he believes in q way which will inter-
est and convince thousands of average citi-
zens.
The great editor must be able to handle his
men with the promptitude and accuracy
| with which the railroad man handles his
trains. Each man on the force must know
his duty and perform it. There is no time
for mistakes, for news is matter OF today,
and yesterdays news is dead and forgotten
| before tomorrow dawns. He must have the
politics and relations of the nations Of the
world at his fingers tips, for he must be able
to judge what effect today's action of the
English parliament, the news OF which Is
flashed to him under the ocean, will have
upon the American congress or the German
reichstag tomorrow. He must have his
head crammed with an incongruous mass Of
all sorts and kinds of information. II the
Rev. Mr. Jones dies suddenly he must know
Just which deacon to send to for an obituary,
and if ''Billy the Kid" challenges "Patsey
the Siuggern he must be equally certain who
