An Expert Opinion.

In discussing the value of the edi-
torial page at the recent meeting of
the Kansas State Editorial associa-
ton, held at Topeka, Mr.. A. @. Mil
Ter, publisher of the Belleville Tel
escope, expressed his views on the
subject as follows:
"A newspaper without an edi
toral without department in
which the editor can browse and ex-
press his opinion on things would be
like an Grange with all the juice
squeezed out; it would be like an in
dividual with his personality or in
dividuality extracted. The editorial
page is the engine, the dynamo, the
heart and soul of the newspaper. 1t
reflects the personality, the individu-
atty of the editor, as it is intended
to do. This department of his paper
is his charter or his license to
preach-t to urge his whims and to ride
his hobbies.
mo two editorial pages are alike,
and they should not be alike, any
more than two editors should look
alike, act alike and speak alike.
81 believe in a good, healthy
editorial page, not hdebound, but
free and independent, for the editor
to express his opinions upon any
subject which may challenge the in
terest or attention of his readers.
And / am not one of those who be-
lieve the editor should always try to
find the popular side of the question,
either. think he should be more
concerned about finding the right side
of the question, whether it happens to
be popular or not.
''It is not essential that the
editors name be written on the
scroll of fame or that some deed of
valor should send his name reverber-
ating down the corridors of time. II
is of vastly more Importance that we
square our actions with our con-
science and thereby enjoy the happi-
ness which comes from satisfied
heart, tranquil mind and the con-
seriousness Of having done something
which has made our craft better, oul
day broader and placed our world OF
today step beyond the world of yes
terday.
