Republican Editors Boom Themselves.

Republican editors, who get mashed
on their own ability to fill Congressional
seats, are becoming numerous. Veatch,
Of the Washington Post-Register, and
Pipp, of the Burlingame Chronicle, are
two Of the most active of this class.
Veatch prints columns of boom notices
of himself but Pipp is little more mod
est. Instead of printing the stuff him
self, he prints $4,000 edition of the
Quenemo Republican in his own Office,
fills it with Pipp editorials which he
wrote himself, and then inflicted 1t on
everybody in the Fourth district whose
address he could secure. In this way he
managed to get his own handmade com
plimentary references to himself before
the people without their knowing from
whence they come. His method Is an
improvement on that adopted by VeatCh,
but 1t Is unfortunate for both that 1t Is
necessary to feed their readers on mat
ter which Is of 80 little interest that no
other paper will independently take 1t
up. It's a new method Of campaigning
in which all modest politicians are in
terested
