KANSAS COMMENT
THE COUNTRY EDITOR,s JOB.

LIE COUNTRY EDITORS JOB.
The country EDITORS job is not writ
ing. The average man who looks at
the editor in any Kansas town and
finds his career worth emuIating
hncws little about the aforesaid career
ne average man believes that all the
eoitor has to do is to go around with
ms note book, 5ot down a few per-
sonals, write up a batch of desultory
thoughts on large affairs, go to press
and milk down the receipts.
The truth is different. The country
edltor has to make much of the news
ne writes. The Commercial club, the
church, the baseball team, the college,
the law and order league, the county
central committee, the whist club. and
the good roads movement all must feel
the influence of his guiding hand He
must be in everything and run errands
lor everyone pass the paper, get the
BAN, hire the band, send out the clrcu-
.ars, deliver the address of welcome, 10
the town lying for harmony's sake and
nold the sack. He must be guide,
philosopher, and friend to those IN
trouble, and be mentor and admonister
10 those who are about to get into
trouble. The preacher, the town drunk
arc the statesman, the social climber,
lhe real estate boomer the man from
the grand lodge who is about to ex-
emplify the new work, the promoter,
the broken soldier kindly babe to stay,
the captain of industry and the girl
with a fatherless baby, all come to him
to help them in their troubles. He is
the town confessor, the town boomer
and the town goat, doormat, rock Of
refuge, errand boy and vicarious sac
rlflce-the editor is the only creature in
all the wide world that needs the wings
of dove, The strength of a lion, the
protective odor of the skunk, the
smooth, crawling belly of a worm of
the dust, and the aspirations of god.

was a town Of knockers" and crooks

Death Of Richard Todd.

Little Richard. the oldest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs r. c. Todd. died at

and six months.
The child had been III for about
ten days with what proved at the
las, to be- scarlet.feyer. though ear.
iicr symptoms would not have sug.
gestcd that dreaded disease.
Little Richard was bright. happy
boy who was loved ty friends and
neighbors. and who was unspeakably
dear to his loving parents. II seems
hardly possible that the little heart
is eternally silent, the happy voice
forever stilled.
There are no words nor acts OF
tenderness and Kindness that can
take away, or even make less. the
bitter grief that parents suffer in
an hour like this. but II there be
any comfort in knowing that they
have the deepest sympathy OF this
entire community that comfort Is
certainly theirs.
