are extravagant to the verge OF
wickedness. Tt is easy enough to
account for this condition on the
score of the immense natural wealth
of our country, but from now on
our duty will not be SO much to say
why we have been careless as to find
some means to restrict our spend
thrift disposition. Our waste is
seen not only in our conduct OF pub
lie affairs but in the narrow things
Of home. The coal strike will not
have been an unmixed evil if we
have learned from it economy in
the use and choice of fuel.

A "Space Filler. !"

To the layman it may seem an
easy matter to write up a newspaper,
but stop and think what it means
to gather the news to fill from ten
to fifteen columns per week, week
in and week out. Tt is an easy mat
ter for one, two or three weeks, but
take it for fifty-tWo weeks there are
many times it seems utterly i'm
possible to find even a s'space filler''
and at other times it is the easiest
thing in the world to fill your space,
and it keeps you guessing how you
are going to get all the matter
into the paper. Just sit down and
write friendly letter and you are
oftentimes puzzled as to how to get
readable material to make it de-
cent length; then suppose you had
to write another to the same friend
tomorrow, how would you expect
to say anything interesting; and
then follow it up for every day in
the year. What would you think
Of such task? Want pretty good
for it, eh? Ny friend, it is the ex-
perience of the editor of a news
paper. He is compelled to find
something to say and that some
thing is in the nature Of a friendly
letter. Tt must carry interest not
to one friend, but hundreds, and
must be continued from day to day
throughout the year-as soon as
the interest stops the paper stops.
He is expected at all times to tell
only facts, and there are times
when the lord only knows where he
is going to get either facts or fic-
ton to fill the space. But we think
this will just about fill the gap, and
when we are placed in the same
perdicament again we will take you
further into our confidence.

A great deal of good ink is wasted
in comparing the literary output of
the day with that Of former times.
The comparisons are, for the most
part, unfair in that they take the

pare it with the pick of the past.
But aside from this it must be re-
membered that the tendency of our
age is rather toward a high general

fectiveness than toward the pro-
