WHY

WE would like to ask our coun-

must turn for a solution of the
vexed problems that puzzle man.
kind why it is that, from the first
inception of our paper until the
present time, we have never had
an editor to sojourn in our midst
Other professions have been we'll
represented; of preachers we have
had enough to furnish subsistence
to an African chief for a year;
doctors in sufficient number to
depopulate a state, and enough
lawyers to establish a fair sized

one. It is true that we have had
a number of men who claimed to
be editors, but when asked to
prove their claims to this distinc-
ton by taking editorial control of
The MIRROR they invariably de-
clined the honor and were revealed
in their true light as rank impos-

editors more honest than other
men, with never a black sheep in
the flock? or are they more shrewd
and cunning that they never be-
come entangled in the meshes of
the law? At first thought we we're
inclined to believe the former

question to be true, but instantly
remembering that editors were
sometimes sent to the legislature
we became involved inca sea of
doubt. If it be true that editors
never swerve from the straight and
narrow path of moral rectitude; if
there be anything in the surround
ings of printing ofice-the odor
of sour paste, intimate associations
with the office devil, or whatever it
may be-that keep men from trav-
cling the broad macadimized turn
pike that leads to corruption and
the United States senate, then is
the question of criminal reform
solved in a way never before
thought of. Instead of sending
the thief, burglar, and confidence
man to the penitentiary, they
should be sentenced to edit a
country paper for such length of
time as the gravity of the offense
warranted. The punishment would
be severe, but the aim sought, the
complete reformation of the Grim

ONE of the strange things that
awaits the solution of the sociol-
