If an editor omits anything he is
lazy. If he speaks of things as they
are, they get angry. If he CLOSES over
or smOoths down, he is bribed. If he
calls things by their proper names he
is unfit for the position of an editor.
If he does not furnish his readers with
jokes he Is an idiot. If he does he is
rattle-head. lacking stability. If he
condemns the wrong he is good fell
low, but lacks discretion. If he lets
wrongs and injuries go unmentioned,
he is coward. If he exposes public
man he does 1t to crafty spite, is a
tool of a clique or belongs to the "outs"
If he INDUCES in personalities he is
blackguard. Ifhe does not, his paper
isdull and insipid. Oh Lord, who can
say that an EDITORS life is one of ease
