THE EDITORIAL 7 PAGE

The editorial page is mirror of
the mind of the editor. 1t places,
where the world can read them, the
opinions held by the writer. OF course
he expects to be criticised by those
who hold different views than those
entertained by himself, but honest
criticism has no terrors for the con-
scientious editor. 1t serves to i'm
prove and broaden his mind. That
he often differs with what seems to be
the prevailing or popular sentiment
OF his Immediate community is true
but, then, 1T should not be forgotten
that what is the popular sentiment
of one community is quite often the
reverse of the sentiment of another
community. This only proves that
different people, differently situated,
do not see things in the same light
and therefore form entirely different
conclusions. The editorial field is
broad. The editor reads both sides of
all controversies and form his conclu-
sions after studying questions from
the view point of different com.
munities, but he is only human and
therefore liable To err. That he diff.
fers with Others in the same line shows
how people are prone to follow a
different line Of reasoning or are diff
ferently influenced by the same things.
1t would be much more agreeable
and far easier for the editor to drift
with the prevailing sentiment of the
community in which he resides il he
could do so consclentiously, but even
there, there is division OF sentiment
and although holding the view of the
minority he should have the courage
Of his convictions and not be dis
honest with himself and his readers
as he would be we're he to vacillate in
an effort to keep on the popular side.
He sometimes loses friends tenn.
porarily, it is true, by being honest
with himself, but in the long run it is
better TO displease those who differ
with you, (if there are those who can
not be friends and hold different
opinions) than to lose the confidence
Of the great number who prefer hon
esty of opinion even though they can
not accept 1t, or to surrender self
respect in an effort to please.-Wau-
shara Argus.
