Being a Real Editor.

From Baltimore Sun.
The trade of the editor requires a
degree of intellectual muscularity not
only beyond the college professors
reach. but also beyond his compre
hension. A good editor must have he
casuistic skill of a Huxley, the rip
pling humor of o Johnnie Ray, the
abysmal learning of a Virchow, the
eloquence of a Webster and the
powerful sweep and swoop of a Glad
stone. He must read. write and speak
every ancient aid modern language,
with all the dialects thereof. He must
understand politics, archaeology and
plain sewing. He must be gentle
enough to judge a triolet. and strong
enough to balance a footstick on his
nose. He must be a theologian, a law
yer AID a dramatic critic. He u
have the soft smile of an angel who
has dined well, and the frightful
frown of the a of a lynching bee.
He must know every human being
worth knowing, from Tadmor in the
wilderness to the hills of Yubadam,
and he must know the contents of
every book ever penned. He must be
sober, patient and beautiful. He aus
wear good clothes, shave daily and
love children. He must write with the
quail fiuency of a Roosevelt and the
romantic charm of a Richard Hard
ing Davis.

President Says Taft Did Nothi q
Against Negro Troops.


Oyster Bay, Aug. 11.-President

tire responsibility was his for the is

nit the suspension of that order.
The president was shown an inter
view which was had yesterday in
Washington with General Henry C.
COrbin, Z. S. A, retired, in which
Corbin stated that no credit or blame
in the matter rested with Judge Taft
After reading the interview the
president. through his assistant pri,
yate secretary, Rudolph Forster, gave
out the following:
General Corbin's statement is alb
solutely correct, and it was entirely
proper that he should make it. The
substance of the message from the
president, which he quoted, was mad :
public long ago. In the Brownsville
matter the entire responsibility for
issuing the original order and for de
clining to allow its suspension was
the presidents"
In his interview Corbin stated Ia
substance that Taft was in no way re
sponsible for the order discharging
the battalion of the 25th infantry aud
that in doing so the then secretary u
war had obeyed the direct order OF
the president. Corbin then recounted
the circumstances as they occurred
and were published following the
Brownsville affair.
