Monarch of all He Surveys.

The Writer, Boston publication for
literary workers, in the course of an
ably written article on the country
newspaper and it's editor, has the
following regarding the successful
country public opinion moulder.'
"There is no department of news
paper work in which there is so great
and immediate and. satisfactory a
reward as in that of the successful
country editor, provided he is also the
owner of his paper. Here he can find
scope for just as much literary finish
and just as much business ability as he
cares, or is able, to exercise. For his
good work he gets the credit. He is as
big politically as he cares to be. He
need not be the victim of the cord
wood and prize-pumpkin subscriber
unless he cares to be. Life is what he
makes it. He can control circum-
stances in a way that would never be
possible to him if he were the victim
OF the whims of some arbitrary city
editor. who may treat his men as mere
pieces of machinery, that must be
sacrificed. if need be, for the good of
the central machine
