Inform the Editor

One of the most difficult of the

births, marriages and deaths. PEG.

these things by intuition. If not
that, the birth. marriage or death is
Of such importance in the immedi-
ate family that it is presumed the
editor will be informed by some
wireless or just grow into the infor-
nation. Then. when the paper
comes out. and no mention is made
of the event, the editor is blamed
for not running a good newspaper
or not getting all the news. Remem-
Der there are good many people in
this country. 1.-THE editor knew each
of them by name, besides their fam
lily history and chief evrnts in the
lives of every individual he wouldn't
be an editor. He'd be a emi-eod,
resting his feet an cloud and sip
ping ambrosia instead of lnhabiting
a broken-down Office chair and
wondering where the money for the
next white paper bill is coming
from. The life of the average news
paper man is gay one, Gathering
news is second nature to him. like
picking his teeth with the office pen
and cussing the Office towel. Just
the same, there's a limit to his ON
uiscience. Last Week, we thought
of million, eight hundred and
forty nine thousand three hundred
and sixty four things of Importance,
besides a couple of hundred
thousand small items unworthy of
mention. And it was slow week.
We're anxious for news for the pa

Then and Now.

Men whose political n emory runs
back twenty yeays are finding a
close and curious parallel between
the political conditions of 1905 and
those of 1915. The country then
had a Democratic administration
Cleveland's. The country today
has a Democratic administration
Wilson's. The country then had
a Democratic tariff law-the Will
son-Gorman bill. The country to-
day has a Democratic tariff law
the Underworld Simmons bill. Then
as now, there was widespread un-
employment and deep discomfort
all over the land. Then, as now,
the country had Just experienced
sweeping Republican victories in
the elections of the previous off
year. !" Then, as now, the NUM-
cipal elections of spring showed the
continual sweep of Republican as
cendancy. Then, as now, the coun-
try was looking forward with ca
gerness to its approaching relief
