The Country Editor.

The country editor is a comblIa~
ton of the entire staff of "a city
newspaper His sphere OF useiul>
hess, although not so ubiquitous, Is
quite as important as that OF the
great contemporaries. His single
weekly paper Is in miniature the
seven Issues per week OF the great
dallies. His constituency is often
the most moral and hlgh~nlnded 10
be found III the domain of history,
He reaches the homes of brain and
Drawn that send to the colleges and
cities the great, well-balanced men
of the age, lie may not uproot
scandal, expose corruption, tear
down religious and political parties,
create empires or crush dynaSties,
but he reaches and influences the
majority of the army of boys who,
in after years, fight the great battles
of life IN the pulpit at the bar, II
the hospital, and even become his
most distinguished co,workers IN
journa!iam.
The country editor may take wood
and potatoes tor his subscription
price, but he never lies about his
circulation. He may mention IN
detail the process of construction of
country barns and the lntervlSitation
OF unimportant pumpkins, but be
makes no attempt to build his fort.
unes on scandals, broken homes,
nasty twaddle, and undue prying In
TO private life. He may write
wretched English and deplorablc
grammar, but he never talks about
''innocuous desuetude" and "master>
full" efforts. lie may publish three
pages of patent inside to one Of orl
glnal matter, but he never steals the
news and brains Of others because a
geographical difference OF, +4,ne
favors bis location. He may set his
own type aud turn the crank of his
press, but he never scales down the
wages of his employees, nor treats
printers like cattle nor pays starvao
ton wages to reporters, He may
deplOre certain local uSages and
want OF appreciation of bis col
umns by business men, but he never
pursues people who have no means
of reply with ylndlctlve hate, with
vile cartoons and outrageous perse-
cutloE to the grave. He is not a
life wrecker, nor family wreckcr,
nor scandal monger, nor a party
political poltroon, nor a bribe taker,
nor washer of linen. Whatever
his mistakes, troubles and ludIcrous
exhibitions at times, the country ed>
itcf is an honest, panstaking citizen,
one of the most potent factors IN
the higher civilization of the ages =
