ABOUT THE MAN WHO EDITS YOUR
PAPER,
From the Troy Chief.

From the Troy Chief
Ed. Howe, of the Atchison Globe,
has a hobby, which he has aired in an
article in one of the printers publications.
1t Is that newspaper editor should
never speak of himself, or copy COM
plimentary notice of himself or his
paper. Ed. must be lonesome. He is
about the only editor in the United
States who thinks that way. We can
see not the least improperly in the
practice If not overdone. In fact, the
readers Of newspaper, who have been
such for series of years, take great
interest in the editor personally, and like
to know what is said and thought of him
by others. They regard themselves, in
manner, as part of his family, and
form strong attachment for him. For
an editor to withdraw himself from all
condolences and little bits of personal
gossip with his readers, is to set up
barrier of exclusiveneSs between himself
and them, and shut out any interest they
might take in him. An editor who
simply goes through the routine of writ
inS homilies for his readers, day after
day, and week after week, with
out any condolences with them, might
die or retire, and some other person
take his place. and GO through the same
routine. without the readers knowing or
caring any thing about it. any more than
they would. on a journey, take any in

and the fresh one that was hitched on in
It's place. An editor should he social and
familiar. not self-appointed God-Al-
mighty, too holy for common creatures

old men talk about their old home news

know as much about them and regard
