NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR FRIENDS.


A newspaper, if it has any brains,
conscience and muscle back of it, must
continually decide between doing its
duty and injuring its pocket. In any
position but that Of an editor, the pub
lie is able to separate the individual
home from the collective citizen. But
ifthe editor does not please them, its
his pocket they aim at. Thus it is that
newspapers learn who their friends are.
The man who reads newspaper and
admires it all the year around, yet gives
his business support to some other con-
Germ, whose principles he detests, is not
a friend Of the former paper Admira-
ton alone will not run a newspaper.
Sooner or later such admirers will find
that the object of their affections has
become welded to other ways that
they do not admire-in other words, a
newspaper is compelled, in order to
live, to seek the friendship of those who
are not so platonic in their love, but
unite that practical esteem with senti-
ment that binds mutual admiration in
other professions. There are too many
men who expect an editor to slave in
defense Of their pet notions and hob
bies, advocate their views against the
strongest opposition and coolly with
hold the business support by which
alone small newspaper can live. Talk
about paper having public duty to
perform, and an editor having to labor
for his principle, is cheap when others
stand back and while extending Il luke
warm neutrality with one hand, are
filling their pockets with the other hand
as result of the editors labor for his
principles which they admire, but do
not support
