What a Kansas Editor Is.

An editor is millionaire without
money, a con gresham without a
job, a king without a throne. He
constructs without hammer or
saw, builds railroads without rails or
spikes and farms without a pillow.
He runs a butcher shop in the jour
nalistic world and deals out brains
for cash or credit. The editor is a
teacher, lawyer, preacher, he
sends truth out to save souls and
gets lost himself. -Neodesha Reg

THAT GASOLINE ENGINE.
The Sad Eyed Mule Among F-sine.
Makes the Publishers Life a How!ing
Waste of Wicked Thoughts.

If thine enemy offend thee buy
him a gasoline engine; then hike
lest he turn and rend thee, for thou
shalt surely be revenged. Pro
verbs of Buck of the Treynor
Record.
The gasoline engine is the sad
eyed mule among engines. It is
rough, hardy, has a voice like a
boiler factory, requires little sus-
tenance and less attention; but,
like the mule, it exercises its own
discretion about starting Aand stop
ping. 1t may work without a
murmur for week, and then stop
without reason for another week.
Arguments are useless; mechanics
waste of time; science a mockery;
profanity only a relief, not a
remedy. Like the peerless hee-
haw bird of Missouri the gasoline
engine resists them all. 1t starts
when it is ready.
The text which has inspired this
dlatribe was worked out of the
agony of a country editors soul.
Until FIVE years ago the heart of
the country editor was all peace
and happiness, disturbed only by
passing shadows in the shape of
bills and delinquent subscribers,
and made glad in a thousand ways.
Then the gasoline engine came in
his press room and life was chang
ed. Time after time this internal
bunch of castiron mulishness has
baked at the critical moment, and
the perspiration spangled efforts of
SIX days to get the paper out OH
time have come to naught. Time
after time the world without has
waited hungry and sarcastic for
the news of the week while two
men and a boy took turns in grind
ing off the edition by hand, with an
able-bodied gasoline engine sulking
in the corner. The gasoline engine
has made the life of the publisher
a bowling waste of uncertainty and
wicked thoughts. Ages ago the
first mule was invented and the
output of profanity was increased
100 per cent inside of six months.
Then years ago or more gasoline
and electricity were crossed and
the result, the gasoline engine, has
done even more than the mule to
debauch the temper of man. How
are we to be saved when even
science and gasoline conspire to
line the narrow path with pitfalls?
