The editor of the Island Pond Herald
has been engaged in the gentle pastime
Of treading on someone's toes, if one
could judge by the following wellput
expressions
"To run a paper without occasionally
publishing an item that is detrimental
to some person is like running rail-
road without having any mishaps or ac-
cidents. To do either is a physical inn
possibility No man on earth is TO 80
great an extent constantly at the mercy
of both friends and enemies as the editor
OF newspaper He must get much Of
the information concerning transporting
events second or third handed, or not at
all. Frequently statements are received
from supposedly trustworthy sources
which are subsequently found to be with
out foundation Not one editor in a
thousand wilfully injuries either friend
or foe by Misrepresentation"
All editors prefer to get the news
which fills their columns by the first
hand method, but at times that is out
of the question, so they accept the re.
ports of their friends with the expecta-
tion that what is received in good faith
has been given in the same spirit. At
times, however, the so-called friends
presume upon the good.nature Of the
newspaper and deliver erroneous reports
of occurrences or reports Of something
which never occurred. Thus the news
papers become victims and publish in
correct reports. No one regrets these
slips more than the men who are re.
sponsible for their appearing in print.
Yet it is hard 10 convince the people, who
have been atfronted, Of this fact.
