HOW EDITORS GET RICH.
milan independently


After a great deal of worry and
study an exchange has as last figured
out how so many country editors get
rich. Here is the secret of their sue
cess: There is a child born in the
neighborhood. The attending physi-
clan gets SO. The editor gives the
loud-lunged youngster a great send off
and gets so. 1t IS christened, and the
minister gets So and the editor gets
500. 1t grows up and marries. The
editor publishes another long winded,
flowery article and tells a dozen diff.
ferent lies about "the beautiful and
accomplished BRIDE The minister
gets $40 and a piece of cake. The
editor gets 5000 and a request to carry
the groom's subscription account a
year. In the course of time she dies.
The doctor gets from IS to 500, the
minister gets from IS to $50, the edi.
tor publishes a notice OF death sad an
obituary a column long, lodge reso.
lutions, a lot of poetry and a card of
thanks and gets $4,000. No wonder
so many country editors get rich.

KNOCKING THE EDITOR.
(Galena, III, Journal.)

tGalena, Ill, Journal
Did you ever stop to consider the
difference between the treatment &C.
corded you by the editor and that you
accord him?
If he should knock your business
through the columns of his paper or
say anything uncomplimentary about
you personally, you would nurse a
grudge against him to your grave, and
as time rolled by it would grow in size
until you would find it as hard to hold
as baby elephant soaked in grease.
Now is such the case with the edi.
tor? He hears that you've ridiculed
and run down his paper, that you have
told people on the streets that it could
not come to your home and then you
come along and tell him that your
daughter has graduated. He praises
her to the sky, says she is the pride OF
the community, the smartest girl on
earth, and that her honored parents
have just cause to be proud of her.
You can mark your paper refused
stick it back in the postoffice anC
boast of the fact to your friends, HUI
initiate him as much as you can, but
if your son gets into trouble, rather
than hurt your feelings he suppresse:
everything connected with the unfor
tunate case at his risk of being called
numbskull who can never get holC
of the news.
! He hears of your denunciation, feel
! the sting of it. and sometimes suffer-
| financial loss as a consequence, bu
rarely uses the columns of his pape
to even up.
On the other hand, if you have any
! thing to boost he will boost it for you
/ if honor comes to you or yours h
takes local pride in heralding it abroa,
and if death steals into your hom
he will go to the bottom of his hear
for tender expressions of love for tn
departed one and coincidence for tn
ones who are left to mourn.

is the amount given in a report on the

In addition to giving the amount paid

amount paid to policy holders in
various cities of the country is also
given.

In this regard it is interesting to
note the small amount paid out in Mo.

state and drew ST., $50. The state.
ment is detailed and comprehensive

in this country and Canada for the
year 1912.
In the amount drawn by policy
holders, Rock Island stood 18th in Hi
