THE EDITOR.

what is the relation OF tie news.
paper editor Ia his readers?
Certainly the relation is vital one.
In these days OF large calculations
the press becomes l tremendous en-
ginery of civilization. And its great
est power resides in its ability to
unite public sentime mt into normal
force.
The editor, tn erefore. is the repre-
sentative as if he had been elected to
the oflice of editor by the votes of
the people.
Any conception of his office less
than this is too low.
And yet
There are newspaper editors happi.
ly they are rare-who will tell you
privately that a newspaper has as
much right, morally. to champion the
cause of some special and selfish in
terest for pay as lawyer has to plead
the cause or his client for a fee.
The editor who makes such d claim
has no righteous conception OF his re-
lation to his conception Of his relation
to bis constituency.
News papers are purveyors of news
for price. But they are infinitely
more than that. They are forces of
civilization. And their power is not
OF themseles. They get it from the
people. Without the people they
would have no power. Therefore, they
owe duty to the people.
The editor of . great m odern news
paper Is bonnd by every consideration
Of duty TO stand for the best interests
Of t!.c people. lie must protect them
from abuse and usurpations of power,
He must make his appeal to the best
that is in himself
His is high callng-no less sacred
than that OF the pulpit
If for brioe he betrays the public
that trusts him he is the meanest of
all traitors.
He is the peoples tribune, Ifhe is
treacherous to the people he makes
himself prostitute. And he becomes
the most dangerous man in the com
munity.-Milwaukec Journal.
