from all appearances, just ar ordi-
nary mulatto pickinniny."
The foregoing was not admired
by those who love TO let the dead lie
in peace. II such were true Booker
7. Washington did not choose il TO be
so. He was not to blame for his par
entage but II has always been our
understanding when he became such
a friend Of President Roosevelt that
his parents were both negroes. Let

LO! THE POOR EDITOR

Everybody thinks he can run a news
paper better than the benighted souls
who have been placed by Providence
in that unenviable position. Maybe
it's because the editors faults are
glaring ones-out in the open, in black
and white-or, possibly, it is Just a
queer quirk Of human nature and the
job is so easy, anyway. Running the
paper is n sort Of a side line with
lots of people. They offer advice in
their spare moments with the same
spirit as they play golf or pinochle.
One would have the editor d militant
s~utfragist, another demands that he
rail against women voters. The pro-
h )itionists can't see how any decent
person can be for the regulated sa-
looms and accuse him of selling out to
the liquor interests IL he takes that
side, while The "wets" say he is being
intimidated by the churches and ruled
by the "drys" If he is opposed to the
saloon. The Democrats say the paper
is a dirty" rag IL the editor is Repub-
lican in his sympathies, and the Repub-
leans stop their subscriptions IL he
m out for a Democrat. If the ed
itor is for anything the ants condemn
him, and vice versa. If he takes n
stand he is trying to dictate TO the
community. II he doesn't take a stand
he is a m~ollycoddle and O jelly-fsh. He
is a crank, a reformer, a fanatic, q
four-flusher, q crook, a disturber of
the peace or lust a plain idiot. accord
ing as he meets with the desire of his
subscribers or goes against them. And
there you are. The average man new
err thinks Of the hours of toil-down-
right soul-sweating toll, it takes to
get out a paper. He never thinks Of
the worries, tho trials, the tribulations
every editor must undergo. Some Of
them are so unappreciative of his eff
forts 20 boost their town and make
