The following clipping taken
from an exchange tells of the
easy life of the newspaper man,
according to the ideas of others
who think that when the paper
is out all the editor has to do is
to recllne in his easy chair and
smoke his clear Havana:
Just after we finished rum ng
off the paper last week a very
cheerful party remarked: well
the paper is out. You can take it
easy for a few days can't you?
Yep. Nothing at all to do. Ab-
so-loot-ly nothing
Once the paper is printed all
any editor has 10 do is to sit
around watching the little bills
come due and gently shaking his
money bush until enough dollars
drop off to pay those, these or
them bills. When the editor is
not running off his. paper his fav-
orite pastime is to recline on a
divan, smoking a fine, full flavor
ed Flora de Lima cigar and watch
the subscribers struggling with
each other to get to his list and
pay the fartherest in advance. If
he becomes 'ongwayed' h. puts
out his cigar, slips in his pocket
and saunders nonchalantly down
the boulevarde deMain just to
hear the merchants clalnor for adj
ditional space as with tears in
their eyes they dog his foot steps.

up the editor is pleasant to con-
template, When the paper is out

Those Handy Republican.

There is one thing about re-
publican editors that make them
handy things for Democrats to
have around: They are so over
anxious to show up the mistakes
of the democratic administration
that they cannot wait for the
plumbers to be made, which they
anticipate with super-heated inn
aginations, and over which they
profess to quake in patriotic fear
for the welfare of the country.
Republicans friends are writhing
in agony for the welfare of the
democrats for fear that they may
not make those mistakes and they
hastily proceed to assume that
they are as good as made, before
the administration has had a
chance to declare its intentions or
reveal its hand.
Having thus erected their man
of straw, they proceed to "biff"
him good and hard and continue
to tell what should have been
done, so by no possible mischance
could the Democratic administra-
ton fall, into the errors complain
ed of for want of advice.
Of course, it may be alright,
and patriotic for republican editors
to thus let the wish father the
thought and to hope for the dem
ocrats to make mistakes, but I'M
less the republicans secretly rely
on the power of suggestion to
force the democrats into them,
the wise course from a political
point of view would be for them
to keep quiet long enough to al
low the enemy to make the blum
ders, they are SO anxious to COM
plain of, then criticise and con-
denim after the fact, and not
before.
Howe yer, the republican editor
is by nature and intuition SO gifted
with magnanimity and omnisci-
ence that both qualities, in their
super-abundance, persist in slop-
ping over the edge of the bucket
at times, even if the drippings do
result in advantage CD to a poll
teal eIemy. Which makes the
republican editor a handy piece
Of furniture for the democrats
to have around.-Ex.
