Strong Personality Necessary Il
Country Editor.

Once in a while a big city news
paper startles the country with some
sort of exposure in politics or finance,
or society, and thus calls attention
to itself for a few days or weeks.
But the country editor wields an in
tluence day after day and week after
week in his community which con-
stitutes a controlling factor in great
political questions.
The reason of this influence is not
far to seek. 1t is question of per-
sonality. In the small town the
editor is known to most of his read
ers. His work comes to them as a
personal message. They know the
man who is speaking and writing.
In most cases we believe they re-
spect his views and are influenced
by them just as persons in general
are influenced by the arguments Of
a man in whom they believe.
In the larger city papers. whcre
there are editors, and managing ed-
tors, and city editors, and Sunday
editors, and a great complicated mass
of human machinery engaged in pre-
pairing and publishing a paper it is
impossible for this same personal ia
fluence to be present and to be pre-
dominant. II fact, city folk are, IN
the very nature of things, of cy j.
cal disposition and they are pleased
to state that they do not believe
much that they read in the papers,
anyhow"
And so the small town editor is
an important parsonage, not only in
his own community, but taking him
as whole very important person
lge in shaping public opin,on
throughout the county.-PubIishe.s

Here's plug tobacco story from
the Green Castle Journal y, A.
Alger was pulling stumps on his
farm last week, and one, in falling
to pieces, exposed a plug of tobacco
that had been in the stump so long
it had petrified. 1t showed that a
chew had been cut off of one cor
ner. How it got into the stump or
when is a puzzle. j. A, says he is
'stumped" too, and thinks it might
have got in the stump when the
big "injin" once roamed the hills of
old Sullivan. Or it might have been
the last vestige OF some poor white
faced mortal who fell victim to
the red mans tomahawk."

Extravagaat Prices For Sudan
Grass Seed.

The marked success attending
the introduction of Sudan grass in
to the United States and the limit
ed supply OF seed grown this year
due TO the excessive drought, has
led certain growers and dealers to
ask unduly high prices for the seed.
The high value of this grass has
been demonstrated by the splendid
results secured this season.
While the supply is small, no one
group of dealers has a monopoly IN
lhe seed OF this grass, 1t has been
quite widely distributed by the De-
partment of Agriculture for two

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY

By E. J. Edwards

Reverdy Johnson. of Maryland, gain
ed. in the course of a long and very
active life-he died in 1876. in his
eightieth year-one OF the greatest OF
American regulations. for he was not
only a very successful lawyer. but
was influential and prominent in pub
lie life in his state and afterward in
the nation. There was no lawyer of
his time 10 whom the supreme court
at Washington listened with greater
attention than II did TO the arguments
of Mr.. Johnson. Zachary Taylor had In
SONG way become so strong an ad-
mirer Of Mr.. Johnson that at the be-
ginning OF his term as President he
called Mr.. Johnson to his cabinet as
attorney general. Already Mr.. John
son had served four years as United
States senator and five years later
President Andrew Johnson appointed
him minister to Great Britain. Again
he resigned his seat N the senate 10

Great as Mr.. Johnson's reputation
was both as a lawyer and as a public
officer. nevertheless those who knew
him well were inclined to think that
perhaps his highest quality was very
great physical As well as moral cour-
age. a certain independence OF iudg-
ment which sometimes caused him TO
disagree with his party and once led
him TO take a stand in opposition 10
President Johnson. although the per
sonal relations between the president
and Senator Johnson were very close
The quality OF very high courage
and his reputation OF being one OF the
most profoundly able lawyers Of the
American bar will probably cause Mr.
Johnson's name TO be remembered
long after his public service as sena-
tor and attorney general have been
forgotten.
There occurred in the time when
the Know-\uthing faction was at its
height throughout the United States
