This distinction between the hare

The enemies we make by doing right
are not the ones who would benefit us
if we won their friendship by doing
wrong. These are the people who de-
sire to use us for their own selfish
purposes, and when they find they can
not do SO and cannot weave us in
their web, they sulk and sul and try
to make it appear that we cannot live
without them. Bat the world wags on
just the same. The friends we want

us on account of the good we do and do
not condemn us for every little mis-
take.

Couraging to us, and we have received

fast becoming accustomed to a good,

that our feeling is purely for the gen

spite, envy and jealousy the better it
will be for them. This, we believe,
many of our people are learning to do
and they are getting more together.

we have accomplished for the good of

1t frequently occurs that people de-
sire to write articles for a newspaper,
and have them published as from the
editor, just as though an editor can
stand for everything. An editor is
just like other people, only he must
stand back of what he says, and if he
cannot stand back of it he does not
say it. The editor does not say the
half of what he sometimes thinks and
feels, and he learns by experience to
be good Judge and to sit in trial
over his thoughts. An editor mast
weigh both sides of every question
and be sure Of his grounds before he
speaks. SO people desiring to air
their opinions in public print should
do SO under their own name, and if
they cannot do this, then they should
keep silent at any rate, do not try to
get the editor to be responsible for
your ideas. Editors have troubles of
their own.
