Some Of the Things that Cause Editors
to be Either Glad or Glum

Some OF the things tnat NduSe LuitO'
to be Either Glad or Glum
Here is where a compositor on tn
Harrington Citizen trustfully obeyed tn
time-honored injunction to follow
copy:
Mr.. Harper went out but back
empty-handed. Said he could have
killed a deer, but didn't want it
wanted to get an elk. ('came)
The editor of the Cashmere Recon-
is inclined to feel exuberant an JOY
Gus because one of his ordinary littl'
paragraphs is being valued at some
thing like 100000. This suddel
enhancement Of his literary fruits make
a threatened libel suit the meres
bagatelle:
It has come to US from several
sources that the Record is soon to be
sued for 100000 by the Pacific
Hawaiian company, who, it is said,
feel that their reputation has been
seriously and irretrievably disfgured
by the plain, unvarnished tale of the
Record, in which the dubious meth
DDS of that company were set forth.
Considering the facts, we feel that
we have dealt very gently and very
leniently with that concern, and they
ought to give US vote of thanks for
the things we have not said. The
developments in this case, however,
suggest that they need the money,
and of course they know most news
papers are rolling in wealth. If the
Record can infict 100000 damage
on a concern whose paid-in capital
by its own confession amounts to
about $1,000 minus operating ex-
penses, what couldn't the Record do
to a good company? Its influence
certainly ought to be rated way up
in G. In regard to the trifing none
tary consideration, we have been
carrying that 500, 1000 around until
we have almost worn holes in our
pockets, but we cannot call up any
mental picture of handing it to the
Hawaiian company on a silver
platter.
The following paragraph ought tc
pry the Pateros Reporter back onto the
exchange list of the Douglas County
Press. Says the Pateros editor:
The Douglas County Press came
along last week in holiday attire and
was certainly creditable issue. The
picture of Editor Spear on the edi-
torial page shows him to be fine
looking gentleman, and after taking
several good looks at his picture, we
couldn't, for the life OF US, see why
he should cut US off his exchange
list.
During some leisure moment, prob
ably after getting to press, the editor o.
the Langley Islander dug up and last
week printed a paragraph that rings q
change on the theme, 1T Pays tc
Any way you take it, advertising
pays. A mud turtle lays just as
many eggs in a season as does a
hen, and lays them all in bunch,
which is bound to be more of a
mental strain; but the turtle doesn't
advertise, and the hen does, and the
result is there's a hundred calls for
hens eggs in the restaurants where
there's one for turtles.
The Index News evidently tried to
live up to its name when it printed the
following pointed news item:
One of our popular young and un-
married business men, who is called
Jimmy by his intimate friends, has
received as a Christmas gift what he
says is silver napkin ring, but some
of his friends who have examined it
declare it is baby's bracelet
