Pot Metal and
Editorial Pronoun.

The Monticello News gave notice
a few weeks ago that it did not in
tend to sell its editorial space during
the coming campaign, and that when
ever the I'VE" was used in its columns
it would mean that the article, or
sentence was written by the editor
of the paper or some one directly
under him and by his authority, and
that the I'VE" would always express
the honest convictions of the editor.
This notice by the Monticello cartoon
tst-mayor-editOr has been widely
copied, each paper expressing amen"
to the proposition. But this brings
up the question as to what is selling
space.
During the drainage campaign of
last year, when the governor attempt
ed to have the people incorporate the
drainage law into the constitution of
the state, there was a press bureau
established in Jacksonville to oppose
the movement, and it was charged
that this press bureau made contracts
with various state papers to furnish
them editorial matter in pot metal
shape" and that some of these papers
did publish these editorials, using
the 1--WE" as if they had written the
editorials and set up the type in their
Offices. These editors would perhaps
justify this procedure by saying that
the arguments advanced in the pot
metal editorials coincided with their
views in the matter and that by using
the pot metal they had the opportun-
fly of doing effective work in defeat
ing the amendments, and at the same
time cutting down the expenses of
their Offices.
The Journal does not charge that
any of these papers received pay for
the publication of these pot metal
editorials, but, Justly or not, it casts
suspicion on the transaction. If an
editor, is so much Interested in pub
lie question that he can devote
columns of his space to these plates,
he will, if he be of ordinary clay,
prefer to give his time to the work
of writing and setting up, in his own
type, and in his own office, his pick
Of the arguments advanced in the
editorials furnished from outside
In this advanced age, it does not
take a printer to tell the difference
between pot metal" and composition,
especially when 1t comes from a small
weekly newspaper Office, and we ven
ture to say that small amount of
straight, or home, composition will
have more effect with those who read
IL than columns of pot metal. The
people generally know that others are
using this particular form of editorial
expression, and they naturally ask
rwhy?'' and "how?" The editor may
be absolutely honest, and yet there
are people who will suspect that he
is selling his editorial space at so
much per inch. The craft is not
more exempt from suspicion than |
other folks, and pot metal editorials |
tend to discredit all newspapers.
The better and the safer plan is to |
set all the type that goes in the edi- |
torial column in the home Office. If |
pot metal is to be used, let it be con-
fined to the news columns, and the |
third person instead of the first.

Frank cIark's Opposition.

If the friends of Frank Clark real
ly believe he is solid with his con-
stituents, they should cease to warn
rivals off the track. They have the
right to oppose his reelection. He
will be all the stronger if he beats
them. To cry down opposition is
taken as a confession of weakness,
and such talk does not strengthen the
candidate. 1t might easily be that the
opponents of Mr.. Clark we're better
friends to him than some of those who
assume to speak for him. There can
be no monopoly of political honors in
