outside the sidewalk that is kept as q

wide enough for street to be used for

An exchange very truthfully says:
However much newspaper is Gus
sed and cussed, however onery it may
be, 1t saves many q fellows bacon.
There are people in every community
who would today be frying on skill
let of public condemnation If the edi-
tor of the home paper told what he
knew. AS the editor is the first to
hear all the scandal there is going and
In some cases the charges are true and
could be proven. All the indiscretiOn
of men and women; all the nasty talk
INDUCED in by certain classes of
young people, reaches the ears of the
editor. But if the editor would pub.
lish one=half of the stuff he hears, di-
vorce suits would follow thick and
fast. There would be shot guns and
funerals, desolate homes, shame and
misery. And yet your home editor is
abused, cursed and maligned because
his paper is no account and he is
worse. No thought is given to the
stuff he has heard of yourself maybe
that Re hasn't printed. 1t doesn't take
much of man to tell what to put in q
newspaper, but it takes the wisdom of
Solomon to tell what to keep out.
