The Ideals Of An Editor.

Last week. Editor Albert Sid
zney Johnston of the Monroe
Watchnan" in noting the thirty
fourth anniversary of his editorial
management of that splendid
Democratic weekly, dwelt on the
work of the Country Editor in
words that are worthy of deep
consideration by those who only
know their local newspaper from
the standpoint of subscriber or
We wish we had space to give
it all; but the following extracts
will serve to prove that in it's
editorial ranks West Virginia
Journalism has one whose ideals
are as those of his great namesake.
0, it is no bed of roses. The work is
ceaseless, exacting and arduous without
limit. In almost any other vocation or
profession with the same expenditure
of effort the financial rewards would be
multiplied many times. And there is
often, very often. the unavoidable dis
appointment of ideals, the enforced
abandonment of cherished plans for the
paper, the consciousness of imperfec-
tions which smite the heart. Other
Workmen are not required to expose
their handiwork invariably to the pub
lie inspection, butiit is the fate of the
journalist that no matter how harsh
circumstance may hamper and afffict
him, his work must ever he spread be-
fore the public gaze and be subject to
the criticism of all sorts and conditions
of men. He is perpetualy on the dis.
secting table.
But after all there is a ftss ,ination and
charm abont the work that is irresist-
ible. Let no man dream that the
journalist invites pity or compassion.
Even the country editor, if he be con
sclentious and able to visualize his OBJ
portunities. looks upon his vocation with
pride and joy, for it is oHe=of dignity
and power. The knowledge that he is
constantly touching thousands of human
lives is uplifting as well as SOLDERING.
HIS is heartily thankful that he has
mans part in the worlds work and one
that challenges the best that is in him.
That the message of his paper to the
myriad homes 1t enters shall be whole
some and true and helpful as well as
newsy and pleasing. becomes the am
bition of his soul as the sense of his re-
sponsibility grows. Indeed. it may be
said of journalism that, to the earnest
nature, it imrarts and testers the pas
sion to serve;f --zz
1t has been our hope. from morn to
noon, that The Waterman might be
true to its motto. The Noblest Mo,i,
is the Public Good. And in this ami
versary week We wculd dedicate cur
selves anew to that pledge, that it may
not be a mere vanity of words but a |
living reality. The making of it means
that at times the paper must displease
some of its readers. Loyalty 10 the !

CORgenial New Quarters.

The printing equipment of the
Charles Town Free Press is being NOV
ed from the third floor OF the building
at the corner of Washington and Char
les Streets, TO the first floor of he Earn
shaw building on Liberty street adjoin
ing the New Opera House. Having
occupied the Washington street building
continuously since the Civil War. its
change in location is quite a notable
event. Its new location, however, will
not be entirely ceneenial without some
changes in the appearance Of the new
quarters. On the walls of the Liberty
street building in letters large enough
to attract attention for two blocks is
the legcrd Charles Town Wine and
Liquor Company" Until July l, 1911,
the building was used for purposes not
connected with the publishing business.
Farmers Advocate.
We are feeling quite comfort
able in our new ground floor
home, although accustomed for so
long to occupy the attic.
As toeongeniality, brother Ris-
sler.-In recent battles III which
we were associated with some
mighty good old Confederate SOL
diers, they toldus that it was all
ways comfortable feeling after
a fight in which no quarter was
asked, to occupy the breast works
where once the heaviest guns of
the enemy numbered.
But the big booze sign will be
painted out in due course and re-
placed by one bearing the 1.-THE

OF brother Johnston it can be
said, that through evil and
through good report, whether SER
wing his State in the Legislature
or in his Editorial sanctunn, he
has fought the good fight and
that he has kept the faith
May his years of usefulness
be multiplied and Tie Waterman

rightly earned, as an honest, able
and fearless paper of and for the
people!

he did not go at once to the minister
and offer his greetings. Instead he lin
gered as long as possible, chatting here
and there in q subdued sort of way,
quite different from his former aggres-
sive attitude The young minister saw
him in the distance. and his heart con-
tracted with pain. He wondered if
Frances had come. too, and he found
himself peering over the heads of the
people for a glimpse of the girls fair
face
1t was not to be seen.
Then jealousy smOte him. He won
1ered if Frances Hegg had grown tired
Of waiting for him. He wondered if
somebody else had succeeded him in
her affections and then he scored him
self severely for doubling her at all.
At last Silas Hegg met him face to
face and could no longer avoid speak
ing to him Frank Bradberry's face
was grave and pale as he shook hands
with the big farmer, and he felt
pang of sympathy at the mans great
grief over the loss Of his wife. Martha.
Somehow since Martha died I've
learned lots of things, Mr.. Bradberry,"
said Silas meekly. Il used to think
that money was everything, but I've
found it amt. I've found I'm a pretty
unhappy man without my wife, even
if I've got a comfortable balance in
the bank"
The minister did not find it difficult
to speak words of comfort to Frances
stricken father. When they parted a
new understanding had sprung up be-
tween them.

Bradberry," said Silas as he turned
away to permit some Of the company
to take their farewells of the minister,
for the hour was late. but I'm going
to stay awhile. and maybe you'll walk
over to my house and get it."

thinking of basket of choice apples
Or grapes, of which fruits Silas had
been very liberal before the courtship
Of Frances really began.

That was the burden Of the remarks
The minister and Silas walked ST.

was burning in the sitting room as
they mounted the steps of the porch
and the minister found himself shak

night.
From the standpoint of a complete
surprise the Christmas gift party was
a successful the parishioners came
laden with eatables of every descrip-
ton and some brought substantial
sums of money as a contribution to
their favorite minister. Even people
from other churches in the village
came and brought a gift, for Frank
Bradberry was we'll liked all over.
1t was very pleasant to be so we'll
remembered. to be so heartily greeted,
to realize that he was really beloved
by these people. And yet, as he stood
there among the familiar faces, there
was an aching tug at the minister's
heart. He was longing for a sight Of
Frances fair, sweet face. and yet he
knew she would not be there. If his
instinct had warned him thus. a con-
versation he had overheard only en-
phasized that knowledge.
