The following is from Harry
Sommers, of the Elizabethtown
News, and The BEE heartily res
ponds amen:
Mr.. r. w. Brown the managing
editor of the Louisville Times de-
livered a memorial address to the
Elks at Philadelphia, which is said
to have been one of the finest
speeches eyer delivered in the city
of Brotherly Love and held his vast
audience spell bound. Mr.. Brown
is one of the few newspaper men in
kentucky who adds to the gift of
the pen the gift of the tongue. He is
fbeing favorably mentioned for Ma
-yor of Louisville and would fill the
position with as much credit as he
does the chair of the managing edI-
tor of the best afternoon paper in
THE South.

THURSDAY. DEC. ~, 1904.

EVERY one who has had any
thing to do with the editing and
publishing of a newspaper is ia
maliar with that class of people
who imagine that the newspaper
men are continually seeking to
get possession Of facts that will
create a sensation. These same
people would be surprised if they
knew the number of genuine
sensations that are kept out of
the paper and suppressed through
a desire not to bring grief to the
homes of good people. If every
thing the newspaper man knew
was put in print there would be
something doing most of the
time. There are a great many
things happening daily of sem
sational nature That never APP
pear in print and the parties
concerned imagine their actions
have been so successfully con-
cealed as to escape newspaper
notice when the truth of the
matter is the papers have knowl-
edge of these things but do
not care tc publish them. 1t has
been said that there are three
things that every man thinks he
can do better than the man who
is doing it. One is running a
newspaper. The other running
a railroad aud the third one
managing a coal mining COM
pany. And when it comes
to deciding what is news and
What is suitable for publ
cation the man who thinks.
he knows how a paper should be
yun would be surprised al the
wide difference of opinion be-
tween himself and his readers.
He has only himself to please
while the editor has thousands
Of readers and each Of them have
a right as readers TO know what
is going on in the world. When
IL becomes public matter a news
paper should print all the news
that is news and printable and
by so doing 1t will please all of
its readers some Of the time.
