The easiness of the newspaper busi-
ness bas been a perennial subject for
discussion for years. His constant tale
of woe concering his need of cash has
been standing joke. But in reality
the matter is not joke and the dis
credit for it is more upon this COM
munity than the newspaper. Every
few days almost the newspaper speaks
an encouraging word for some interest
the prosperity of which directly effects
the people of the locality, whether it be
a church fair, new industry, or what
not. For this the editor receives
thanks. Thanks, like a recently ad-
vertised breakfast food, is 'good for
breakfast, dinner and supper" Anent
this subject the Falls Creek Herald
truthfully says: The editor eats them
alive. Editors are not all poverty
stricken but mighty few of them ever
get rich and every red cent they make
they work for. The doctor settles in a
town and spends probably 500 for an
equipment. He does all his work him
self and pays no wages to anybody.

however you don't ask him if he can't
saw your leg off for less than 50 so and
threaten to send it out to the State of
Indiana for amputatior at place
where they do good work for S2.7s9.
The grocer lays in stock of $3.50
worth of goods and when you patronize
him you don't ask for bids on the fur
nishing of two bars of soap, a can of
tomatoes, two dozen jar rubbers and a
pound of cheese. You don't ask the
j barber for a bid on a hair cut, shave
, and shampoo, and tell him that they
only pay half that price out in Squee-
! dunk, Missouri, and they get perfumed
, soap besides.
| But the poor printer. He invests
from three to ten thousand dollars in a
plant, hire from one to dozen people
1 and pays them cash on Saturdays and
thea has to bid against the world for a
r two dollar job of printing. He doesn't
! mind it, though. 1t adds strenuous
5 ness to his existence and makes life
seem what Mr.. Cleveland is wont to
call lone grand sweet song"
The glory of being pointed out to the
populace, especially the sheriff, the

anybody. Is it any wonder that so
many country editors go to congress?
