No sensible man should or does get
angry because man duns him for
his money. A dun is not an impeach-
ment of subscribers integrity, but
is simply an outpouring OF publish
er's necessities. For instance; One
thousand men owe man from 81 to
$40 each; he has to dun them to pay
his expenses. Instead OF getting an
CRY and stopping his paper because
the publisher asks what is due he
should thank the editor for waiting so
patiently and pay up like man.

Vertical penmanship adopted so
widely in the public schools few
years ago, seems to be going out OF
fashion. 1t is said to he slow to write
and not favored in commercial life
The return to the Spencerian system
emphasizes the project to erect a
memorial library to Platt Spencer in
Geneva, Ohio. Here, in little log
house, the great penman taught
many branches, especially the beauti-
full handwriting which young and old
came from afar to learn. Until the
age OF eight, Spencer had never seen
writing paper, but he had already
traced his characters in the sand OF
the rivers edge and on the bark of
trees. His life was full OF hardships,
but many a man reared in luxury
may well envy the inscription, "Poet,
penman, educator, reformer, benefac-
tor" engraved on his tomb by a CRATE
full pupil.

THE REAL EDITOR.

There are many people who believe
it is the duty of an editor of news
paper to try to punish and expose
those who, in their opinion, do not
conduct themselves properly. When
they see the law. violated they are FIRE.
quently too cowardly themselves to
lodge the complaint before the proper
legal authorities, but at once rush to
the editor and demand that he shall
become the judge, jury and executor
to punish the misdeeds of which they
complain. There are those who, when
they have a grievance or spite against
another, try to use the editor to VEN
tilate their ill humor and punish their
enemy. What poor idea they have
of the editor when they think he is
anxious and willing to do their mean
work for them. 1t is the duty of the
editor to publish the news, champion
virtue and morality and denounce
evil, immortality and wrong. 1t is
sometimes his duty to expose man
OF bad record and character; but he
should never be the spokesman of any
one man, or any set of men, or even
of public opinion. He should voice
only the public sense of right. He
should distinguish between selfish,
unpriucipled claims made by villains
and demagogues and those views
which will commend themselves to
the more thoughtful virtuous part Of
the community. He must be man
of Backbone" which means that he
has the courage OF bis convictions
strength and character united to
strength of principles; for occasions
are constantly arising when he is call
ed upon to show adherence to princi-
pie and well considered purpose. He
must be firm even against his friends,
when he knows he is right and they
are wrong. He must submit to oblo-
guy and condemnation if need be-
But especially he must be untainted
and resolute, no matter how strong
the enemies OF truth and honor may
appear. No man is under greater
temptation than an editor, and nc
man carries greater weight of re.
sponsibility. He is merely human
governed at all times by the same mo.
tives that influence other men; and
needs at all times the sympathy and
encouragement OF every intelligent
broad minded, upright man.
