"There are always plenty of people
nlCn
should punch the hornets nest" OBJ
served Mr., Squier in the course OF his
strong sermon last Sunday night.
Nobody realizes the truth of that say
ing more forcibly than the editor of
a newspaper. Whenever a man or
woman goes wrong, whenever, an
officer is lax in his duty, whenever a
law is violated, there come people to
the editor and say, "Why don't you ex-
pose her?n "Why don't you give him
a roast?" Why don't you make a
fight ?u And so forth and so forth.
There was a,dirty scandal in this town
once and an old man came to this
office and said, "Why didn't the
REGISTER tell US about the disgrace
of So and SO and give him the lam
basting he deservesm We replied,
"Why didn't you call public meet
ing and get up and make a speech
about it?" And the old man went
away mad, convinced, doubtless, that
the REGISTER had been paid for its
silence. Another time a man came
and told a long story of dishonesty
and corruption on the part ola public
officer which he wanted US to print.
"Shall / give your name as authOri-
ty ?r We asked. "Gracious, no! ]
wouldn't be mixed up in it for the
world ~ And that man also went
away mad. He was willing TO furn-
ish the stick provided nobody found
it out) but he wanted somebody else
to punch the nest. Mr.. Squier has
doubtless had similar experiences, for
preachers and editors are the ones
usually picked upon to do the nest
punching. And yet it would be hard
to give a reason why preacher or an
editor is under any greater obligation
to serve in that capacity than any
other citizens The duty Ofprotecting
the community from quacks and
frauds and impOstOrs of every sort,
from outlaws of various grades, from
corrupt or neglectful officers, and
