Country Newspapers.

Although country editors are nearly
always poor, there are plenty of per-
sons who believe that half the para
graphs in country newspaper are
paid for with enormous bribe. There
are always two sides to every question,
and whichever side an editor falls on,
the partisans of the other accuse him
of being "bought'. 1t Is little wonder,
therefore, that the editor is seldom
popular man. never knew one who
was, and | never knew one who was
not often accused unjustly. lrJbably
the people believe IN bribes To editors
because it is II very rare editor who
does not often accuse his opponent of
beng II brlbe-taker, creating Il prelu-
dice against themselves and their call
ing. Lazy and incompetent editors
nearly always explain the success of
their more vigorous opponents by de-
claring that they carry on II system of
blackmaii. | once visited large city
the newspapers of which | had long
admired almost with reverence, and
was surprised to hear citizen
say that what the city really needed
was better papers; they would bring
eastern capital" Nearly every cit
iZen of country town wants his To-
cality "boomed," to the end that he
may sell his ffty-dollar lot for five
hundred. lie can appreciate how a
really good paper mightaid him in this,
and because his lot does not advance
in value rs he thinks it should, he'has
grievance against the editor. lie
longs for an editor with some "snap"
in him. | don't know what "snap"
means but | know this is the quality
usually thought TO be lacking. There
are more great men in every country
town than really exist in the entire
nation, and if they are not recognized,
the local papers are of no account. !
was once bothered good deal by u
certain man who said he could clean
more chickens i'll an hour than any
other chicken cleaner in the world and
he wanted the fact mentioned. Men
who are never suspected of greatness
by other people accuse themselves of it
TO the editors, and when they refuse to
mention this greatness, they are told
that their columns contain Il great deal
of stuff not half so interesting. 1t has
occurred to me that when a citizen
of II country town becomes drunk, the
first thing ne does is to hunt up the
editor to tell him what is the matter
with the community.-By the author of
"a Country Town in The Century.
