The leading editorial, whose dis
appearance is predicted and whose
decline is obvious, has suffered most
by the transition process from the
personal to the impersonal. There
was exhilaration in the pistol and
coffee. The duel was more interest
ing and less expensive than the libel
suit. The good old times of gun
play are, alas, no more. If gentle
man nawadays shoots another gentle
man they call it murder.
Il do not think the newspaper
should consider itself as public
prosecutor; rather the personel rep
resentative. friend and neighbor of
good men and good women, pouring
in upon the community the sunshine
OF heaven. not kindling and stirring
the fires of hell; it's aim, and, first,
last and always, to enlighten and to
brighten. to radiate and to warm.
not to embitter, to browbeat and to
