rical performance the whole nation is
at once aroused to a state of feverish
interest.
1t is all owing to the fact that people
do not believe editors ever have any
money. From the day that man pens
his first salutatory, calmly but reso-
lutely announcing that he intends to
hew to the line and let the chips fall
where they will, until he at length
hangs his last piece of copy on the
hook and goes on to join the ranks OF
those whom he has from time to time
so highly recommended in his obituary
department. the newspaper editor is
constantly accused of poverty.
The human race is guilty of no crime
that is quite as unkind as this.
Through all mans life a newspaper
is his best friend. When he comes into
the world hairless and toothless and
full of collie. the faithful newspaper
takes his case in hands, recon-
mends him heartily to the people of
the community, studiously avoids the
size of his ears, and does the best 1T
can TO work him into good society
right on the start. When at length he
gets married and goes to live with his
father-in-law, the newspaper points
with pride to the happy event, and in
firm, unyielding terms calls attention
to his sterling qualities, his uncom-
promising honesty and his neatly fit
ting suit of clothes. And then at last,
after the end has come and the cred
itors have met in mass convention and
decided to accept 13 cents on the dol
lar, the newspaper comes out with is
good a send-off as the man could have
thought up himself.
From the very day you are born the
newspaper begins to speak kindly of
you.

than to stop and have q chat with n

Lord Avebury thought it was hardly
possible to study closely communities

STATE PRESS
Special Session Talk

Special Session Talk
II has been suggested hat a spe-
Cial session Of the Legislature ought
to be called-not particularly because
the anti.gambling law seems doomed,
but because there are a number of the
more important acts of The legislature
in the same situation as the act allud,
ed to. In fact, it was stated by a well
informed official at the capitol yester-
day that nearly all' of the acts of
the Sixth legislature are in the same
category.
1t seems to the Leader somewhat
doubtful whether a special session OF
the legislature ought to be called at
this time-although it appears that
even the apportionment act is under
a cloud and probably the appropriation
act as well-yet W are of the opinion
that Acting Governor C%hatterton and
Attorney General Van Orsdel and per,
haps some or all of the other state
officials ought to thoroughly investi
gate the situation and decide as to
what ought to be done.-Leader.
