EDITORIALS.

In speaking of newspapers, citizen
of Wauseon, said: 81 always read
the editorials of paper for in them
find not only the character of the
editor and the motives which prompt
his action, but the great social and
economic principles for which his pa
er stands. The Democratic Exposi-
tor. last week, contained five editor
ials. The first one was criticism of
three members of the state emergency
board for not doing something which
was requested because they had no
authority to act. The second one was
to incite suspicion and mistrust of
the good intentions of the governor
of this state. There was no foundation
for this editorial. The third one was
to ridicule a brother editor who has
lived most of his life in this county
and whose efforts have built up one
of the best papers in the county.
The fourth one was most bitter at
tack upon the character of Congress
man Sherwood who served his coun-
try as a soldier through the Civil War
to high office of public trust. The
fifth one was condemning and impun-
ing the motives of United States
Senator Pomerene.
"In all these editorials not word
of good was said about any body, but
standing out boldly in several of them
was the self announcement of the
wisdom and superiority of the editors
of the Expositor. Every one has his
faults but he also has his good quail
ties and it is but fair to the criticised
that he be given credit for the good

They had left Roger and his old chum
Betty alone tete-a-tete in the dimly

How that girl had grown and "im

Roger hadn't seen her! Why, she had
developed into a positive little peach!
What a sensation she would make at
one of the club dances!
She hadn't forgotten about their old
days together, either-recalled lots OF
little childish intimacies that had
slipped even Rogers memory. Why
