Paras ties Upon the Profession.


All Of the dispatches from Chicago al
luding to the peculiar operations of one Mr.
James j. West describe him as au ex-editor.
Yet there is nothing in the zig-zag career of
Mr.. West to show that he ever edited any,
thing except few account books. Possibly
he may have revised the phraseology of
certain stock now and then. Judging
from the tenor of the present litigation the
latter hypothesis seems highly probable.
But that does not legitimately entitle man
to be called an editor when there is 10 other
tangible evidence that be could even write
q grammatical sentence if he tried. Editors
are supposed to correct things. But the
whole tendency Of the transaction upon
which his notoriety is based was decidedly
Incorrect
Lately the public has manifested pro-
nounced propensity for calling every one
an editor or a journalist who has even so
much as printed handful. This has been
a source of no little disgust to the thought
full and Woodworking men who have con-
tributed to render the profession of ne VS.
paper writing an honorable occupation.
Seeing the influence derived from making a
good psper in a reputable way that has
sometimes also proven a source of profit
sharpers and adventures from all the by
ways of life have recently shown strong
| inclination to publish papers of one kind
or another in their own peculiar way,
chiefly devoted to their own personal
interests. Such people frequently resort to
the most disreputabe methods, and thereby
bring upon the whole profession the dis
credit which they personally deserve. Very
few of these sharks really know anything
about making an honest newspaper, and
they don't try. Their sole object is to i'm
| pose upon the public under the respectable
title of an editor.
While some Of the weaker Of them are
occasionally known TO exhibit an over
fondness for the wine cup, it may be OBJ
served that very few men whose native
qualifications fit them for newspaper work
have any very pernicious traits
Proper qualifications for such work are
| Incompatible with tie temperament sus-
tanning vicious tendencies. They are not
usually so selfish as dangerously crafty
man must be. Very likely it is because
tneT uh"oTAuly pFOpenSltleS are 20 well
known that the thrifty schemers ike to
pose as properly among the ranks in order
that they may be- accredited with equally
as little craft, and thereby have an oppor-
tunity to prey upon the unsuspecting.
| Legitimate newspapers are always moro
or less of public character. But these
base limitations are rarely more than a mere
plausible exponent of the somewhat ques-
tionable mercenary schemes of their owners.
Occasionally one of these men gets hold
OF genuine newspaper, with consequences
similar to the result or Mr.. Vests exploit
with the Chicago Times.

miserable after the recent city elections
AS they didn't know who was elected they
all wanted to shout. Continuous shouting
