WHY EDITORS EDIT.

George Fitch, the well-known hum
orous writer, has written vest pock-
ct essay on The Editor" Fitch be-
gan his newspaper career as report
er at Sc a week, but today is a litter
ateur at many time $50 a week
The last sentence of his observations,
which are printed below, probably
explains why Mr.. Fitch gave up edit
ing for contributing:
AN editor is tired, nervous man
who decides what shall go into a
newspaper and explains why 1t got in
afterwards
The editor works upstairs at an
antique desk entirely surrounded by
old papers, and produces the results
which enables the business manager
to sit down stairs in room fitted
sian rug and to respond to toasts at
great banquets in solemn state and
a dress suit.
1T is the editors duty to feel the
pulse or the world and mold the Steth-
oscope to business; to assist at the
birth of history, to translate the pres
Ient, refute the past and arrange the
future; to illuminate ignorance, re-
ward merit. put the spotlight on vii
lany and the pulmotor on reform; to
make statesmen and dessicate dema
gogues, to elect presidents, crown he
roes and secure bigger salaries for
baseball pitchers; to act as an alarm
clock for public opinion, as an eleva-
tor for political candidates. and as d
goat for every man who says some
thing in careless moment and who
lrepents later by declaring that he
was misquoted; to embalm truth, an

ABOUT HAMMOND GARBAGE.

AIR. John e. Kuhlman, street COM
missioner of Hammond, a very con-
scientious and industrious gentleman.
called upon the editor of the paper
yesterday regarding the expose it has
made of the garbage conditions in
Hammond which are very bad, Mr.
Kuhlman volunteered the informa-
ton that he had been asked for a
statement by the city administration S
|official excuser, the Daily News, and
said that he had told them to go
ahead and say what they wanted to"
Last night they did. They not only
said what they wanted to but they
wrote an open letter giving the I'M
preston that Kuhlman had written
1t and addressed it 10 the editor
of this paper thanking him for the
great assistance lent kaufman and
hoping that he would keep it up ct
cetera, etcetera.
The article asks us to devise some
means to dispose of the Columbia
Park garbage and criticizes us for
not suggesting a better plan or place
We hasten to assure Mr.. Huffman
and his official excuser that it is up
to them to see that the garbage is
properly disposed Of Mr.. Huffman
and his employers are paid by the
taxpayers of this city to look after
the garbage. We are not in the gar
! bage business If Mr.. kuhlman, as
he is made to say in his letter, be-
lieves we are the only one capable
| of handling the matter right, it is
time for him to hand in his resigna-
ton. We do not, however, wholly
blame Mr. Huffman for the shame
full way in which the garbage ques-
tion is handled by the city adminis-
ltration- We believe he does the best
he can. His. superiors are however
too busy playing politics and neglect
ing things which the taxpayers of
this city pay them to look after. If the
city administration believes that this
criticizing it, let it's officials and sup
porters get busy and put their collec-
tive ear to the ground and they will
/ be amazed. If they could see the let
tiers received, the oral complaints
5made about this question Of garbage
fthey would come to the conclusion
THAT something is dead wrong some
where s <s
And again many people in Ham
Imond are as much to blame for the
conditions as anyone else for as Mi.
IKuhlman has said, they by no means
live up to the ordinance regarding
its disposition. This paper has no
further interest in the matter than
that of any public guardian. It is
the voice of the people We are glad
lthey make it the medium by which
Ithey can complain. That is what any
Hive newspaper is for. THE TIMES

The collection feature was not pro-
vided when the parcel post system
was put in operation, because it was
desired to simplify the work of post
masters as much as possibly in the
first day of the service
Uncle Sam is beginning to realize
that it pays to take real pains in

ment of the vexing question of the
conflict between capital and labor.
When the great business interests
of the country shall have adopted
the profit-sharing plan the need
for strikes will have passed away
forever. The dignity of labor
will be recognized and established
and the working man and woman
will assume his and her proper
place in the social scale. These
two great factors in the progress
of the nation will assume their
proper relations to each other and
the municipal or government
ownership of public utilities and
business will be postponed and
possibly obviated. The elimination
of pure selfshness and greed on
the part of business and of dis
satisfaction and restlessness on
the other will result in harmony
and happiness for both. Truly
the world moves, and in the right
direction. Ed. Press.

Editor, Delaware City Press,
Dear Sir
Some time ago the
citizens of Delaware City agreed
to borrow $4,000 for street re-
pairs.
Although many voters disap-
proved of the loan, the bonded debt
of fourty years ago not having
been paid, no remonstrance was
made.
But before repairs are started, a
suggestion for borrowing $4,000
additional has been made, the de-
cision, regarding which, is to be
made this month.
Naturally, a howl of protest has
gone up from the already over
burdened tax payer, i'll town
where the chief industry is fishing
Is it not an outrage TO spend
SIS, 900 on one street 80 #. wide
and FIVE squares long' Every one
acknowledges the streets need re,
pairing, but can it not be done
and we'll done, for less money?
