The Attributes of A "GOOd Editor"

Would you like to be an editor?
No doubt the average person can see
where he could get out great deal
better paper than the other fellow
who is trying to, but before you de
eide that you would really make a
good editor, read what the Baltimore
Sun has to say of the attributes you
should haye and then you will un-
doubtedly stop and consider. As for
US, the effusion of our contemporary
has scared us to death. Here it is:~V
"The trade of the editor requires
a degree of intellectual mascularity
not only beyond the college profess
or's reach, but also beyond his com,
prehension. A good editor must
have the casuistic skill of a Huxley,
the ripping humor of a Johnnie
Ray. the abysmal learning of Vir
CHOW, the eloquence of Webster
and the powerful sweep and whoOp
of a Gladstone. He must read, write
and speak every ancient and modern
language, with all the dialects there
of. He must understand politics
archaeology and plain sewing. He
must be gentle enough to judge a
triolet and strong enough to balance
d fOotstick on his nose. He must be
a theologian, lawJ er and a dramatic
critic. He must have the soft smile
of an angel who has dined well, and
the frightful frown of the leader of
d lynching bee. He must know every
human being worth knowing, from
Tadmor in the wildersOn to the hills
of Yubadam, and he must know the
contents of every book ever penned.
He must be sober, patient and beau
tiful He must wear good clothes,
shave daily and love children. He
must write with the grace of a Wal
ter Pater, the colOquial iueucy of
Roosevelt and the romantic charm of
d Richard Harding Davis"
