$50 UBSIE'' IN A New ROLE.

"OOO10 Nv a 3" wv ~o~ASASs
In the Virginian of last week it's
accomplished editor wanders into,
for him, new fields. He essays both
logic and humor, with peculiar re-
suits.
He confidentially informs the pub
lie that after some eight years he
has discovered his mistake-that
Thursday is bad publication day,
and assigns as a reason that "many
happenings of importance are omit
ted because we haven't space for
them" That is to say, changing
publication day increases the size
of paper. Let the news be pub
lished to the craft at once, that
David's fame may wax great! Let
the brothers who lack room for both
news and ads. but change their pub
LEGATION day, and presto, they have
space and to spare!
After thus naively admitting his
lack of judgment for eight years, he
would then have the people believe
that other papers-presumably The
Enterprise in particular-f]ch his
news items, and that we are lazy.
Why, bless your little heart, we have
been accused of almost everything
else, but never before of being lazy;
and our credit is still good with any
house with which we have ever had
business dealings.
