THE RICH AND THE POOR.
Manson Democrat


| Why do so many country editors
pander to the rich people of their
town and ignore the common herd
| umns? This is the question that
| many a. jay pencil pusher should ask
himself for it is not the rich, alto
gether, that are the bone and sinew
of a country printshop. But to read
some of the rural journals, one would
be excusable in imagining that the
Smiths, the Browns, the Jonses and
few other families were the whole
works in some communities. If any
member of that particular clique hap
pens to be the subject of news item
it is always Mr." or Mrs" If any
of the common people are noticed it
is always "So-and-so and wife" If
the rich man buys a scrub COW, his
whiffet newspaper friend Immediately
gives her a blue blooded pedigree ana
if she eies she gets fully as lengthy an
obituary as the poor mans child.
The rich man can go out and buy up
plug horse and the editor gets right
busy and transforms it into a "valu-
able ANIMAL" or a high stepping
roadster" The rich mans daughter
is always highly accomplished
young LADY, to such editors, altho she
may be an ignorant slob in reality,
and, altho the rich mans son may be
the biggest fool in town, the sycop-
nautical slobberer of the local
paper never misses an opportunity
readers. The rich mans lawn
and the little blowout of the cottager
is not even jotted down in the note
book. Meanwhile the poor man goes
right on paying for his paper, year
after year, reading it with interest
and glad to get it, while the pot-belli-
ed gent in the white vest shifts with
disdain at it's labored efforts and pat
ronizingly tells the editors he sub
scribes merely ito help the thing
along" 1t beats all that SO many edi-
tors will do such things, but they do
and seem to be getting no better fast.
They should get closer to the people
and to real humanity and not hover
around the frayed edge of an aristoc-
racy created out of a little dirty mon
ey. Get away from 1t and be men, not
clowns for some rich mans move
ments, or initiative human apes. Give
every man his due, be he rich or poor,
for the tables may turn some day and
the rich may be poor and the poor may
be rich-but then, if they are those
same editors will keep on patting the
fellows with the price, on the back.
