The discretion and forbearance Of edi-
tors frequently save many a person from
startling exposure. If the editor pub
lished half he knows, the community
would be ripped wide open from stem TO
stern. Editors are the first to hear gossip
or scandal, indiscretions of men and wo-
men, things unfit for publication, in
trigues, clandestine meetings, midnight
buggy rides, young girls gone astray,
t1irtations of married women, amours of
men both married and single,-in fact,
all neighborhood scandals. The ''we,'
of the country press may be said to hold
the keys to hell, and is able to turn it
loose at any or all times. If one-half he
knows were published, divorce suits and
social ostIacism would follow; shotguns
and gore. Imprisonment and lynching,
desolated homes and places of business,
shame, humiliation and misery. The ed.
itor knows the shams and hypocrisies OF
life, until it is a wonder he believes in
anybody, or in anything, here or hereaf.
ter. People who abuse the editor loud
est often owe their standing in the com
munity, or even their ability to live in it,
to his forbearance. And in this respect,
Neihart is no exception.
