EDITORS.
Editors" says the handsome man
who owns and operates the Lawrence
Journal makes us tired" That is
strange coincidence; they make us
tired. too. We sometimes think that If
1t wasn't for editors and edith this
would be pretty fair sort of world.
But editors are forever taking their
crowbars and raising the devil and the
deviI is always to pay when he gets
started, and often there is no pitch hot,
and there being no pitch hot the devil
unpaid goes up and down the world
seeking whom he may devour. All the
trouble in this world is started by edi-
tors. And what do they get out of it
nothing but board and clothes and the
support of their Inundated and discred-
tied families
Why are editors anyway? What
eVerlastingly and eternally is the use?
The editor riseth in the morning full
of high hopes and beautiful bullying
ideals, and he goeth to bed at night
full of unavailing regrets and typo
graphical errors. He pranceth up to the
dragon of evil. and soaketh it, when
10, 1t champeth and snorts and he is
not! He merely monkeyeth with the
buzz-saw of popular sentiment and
pickett himself up in a sack and toteth
himself to the scrap heap. He rejoiceth
on his decency and patteth himself on
the back; yea he annointeth himself
with JUNCTION, and churneth his opponent
to cheese. He slappeth himself on the
belly and pointeth with pride. But be-
hold his alibi crumbeleth; his tin-front
wrinkleth; his starch melteth as wax,
and when the report of the committee
on conduct and behavior ccmeth, the
editor, even the editor of great pride
appeareth before men as the two spot
from the other deck. This also is van
ity.
You bet the editor makes us tired. If
1t wasn't for the editor we would be
happy people. But as it is we sometimes
wonder why we shouldn't take a hop,
skip and jump and go sailing into his
tory without waiting for the tooth of
time to gnaw at our vitals. The editor
is a bad lot. There should be a law
against him. There should be an open
season on editors so that they might be
killed from New Years to Christmas.
For editors certainly make US tired

WOMAN'S WONDER.
we nave often wondered why it Is
that Che SELFISH, self-indulgent girls
who boss the whole family and lord
1t over their friends always have Il
good time and usually have every wish
gratif1ed. They marry the best men
and these men become their willing
slaves, while the self-sacrificing girls,
the girls who help with the homework
and help share the burdens of the
family. who look their duty in the face
and never finch, brave heroines that
they are, are neglected and kicked
about considerably, often by the very
persons for whom they make sacrifices.
1t may be that their reward is coming
but we can't help thinking when We
look at some of them. that it is a long
time on the road.-Lindsborg News.
