a hazy future. "In times of great
public stress over the election of

choosing by sovereign people of a
candidate for the council, the editor,
whose real business is to furnish
reliable medium for the purveyor of
prunes and farm implements, drugs,
paints and spiral corse;s to advertise
his wares. the editor becomes a storm

no right, title or interest to his own
opinion, his soul is mortgaged and he
can't breathe without a meter nor
think without having his motives set
upon by the coroner and subjecting
his afterthought to cross-examnation.
"In such times as these some man
whom he has lived with as neighbor
and friend for thirty years takes the
street like a maddog-yelping and
kieodling in rage. He carries the
paper folded to show the infamous

the wrongs and injustices of his miser-

The other day in the National Ho-
tel in Topeka J. L. Junkin, editor of
the Sterling Bullenn and regent of
the Kansas State Normal School was
slowly pacing the diagonal length of
the lobby of the hotel "as one who
treads alone banquet hall deserted"
Whereupon this deponent overhauled
Mr.. Junkin and said, "Well--it's
funny business isn't it?" Which re-
mark set off Mr.. Junkin as follows
and to wit:
ut is indeed a funny business;
there's no other in the world like it.
Lawyers, doctors, merchants, me-
chanics, and unskilled laborers all
have their holes, but there is no place
for the editor to lay his head. When
he is in trouble he has no hole. Al
ter the smoke Of battle has cleared
away after the spring election is
over the doctor goes back to his pills
and no one seems to bother him
again; the lawyer slips into court,
and what he said is forgotten, the
other classes and conditions of men
fade into the background and become
part of the landscape. But the edi-
tor sticks up like sore toe in high
wind. What he said. and what they
thought he said, and what he should
have said and never said, and what
he might have said, but didn't, as
sumo an historic importance, and
men lay awake nights hating his in
ternal arrangements.

accused of bossing the town; if he
takes to the brush he is called a CO.
ward who is PLAYING both sides; if
he clearly indicates that he doesn't
care tinkcr's obstruction whether
school keeps or not, both sides claim
he is secretly helping the other side. ;"
''It's funny business" duoth the
redheaded raven OF the salt licks, "a
funny business. Just now they are
holding an indignation meeting in
Sterling and passing the hat to start
new paper. And I, who for twenty
long years in Sterling have been for
every good movement, who have set
up miles of advice asking the people

who have stood for good roads, good
schools and railways and public i'm
provements of every kind, am called

Heaven knows, don't. Because I
