Everybody thinks he can run q
newspaper better than the be-
nighted souls who have been
placed by Providence in that un-
enviable position. Maybe it's be-
cause the editors faults are glar-
ing ones -out in the open in black
and white-or, possibly, it is just
q queer quirk of human nature
and the jobs so easy anyway.
Running a paper is q sort OF a
side line with lots of people.
They offer advice in their spare
moments with the same spirit as
they play rummy or pinochle.
One would have the editor a mil
itant suffragist, another demands
that he rail against women vot-
ing. The prohibitionists can't
see how any decent man can be
for the regulated saloons and ac-
cuse him of selling out to the IL
quor interests if he takes that
side. while the "wets" say he is
being intimidated by the church
es and ruled by the "drys" if he
is opposed to the saloon. The
Democrats say the paper is a
dirty rag" if the editor is Re-
publican in his sympathies. and
the Republicans stop their SUBJ
scriptions if he comes out for a
Democrat. If the editor is for
anything the antis condemn him,
and vice versa. If he takes a
stand he is trying to dictate to
the community. If he doesn't
take a stand, he is a mollycoddle
and q jellyfsh. He is a crank,
a reformer, a fanatic, a four
flusher, a crook, a disturber of
the peace, or just a plain idiot,

desires of his subscribers or goes
