THE MAN EDITOR.

In her opening speech at the suffrage conference at charming "Rubly," in Norfolk, last week, Mrs. Taylor re- marked, according to a contributor in this issue, that "The Connecticut Western News is one of the brightest newspapers in the state." Now who shall say woman lacks the we'll balanced Judgment and the power of discernment to prove her the equal of man!
 Mrs. Porritt, too, the accomplished press secretary of the State Suffrage Associ ation, "said nice things about editors in general" and from the wealth of her experience with the genus scribe, declared that "editors are human, the same as the rest of us"- an admission of fact which mere man is sometimes prone to forget or refuses to admit. Furthermore, says Mrs. Porritt, "Editors have to stand lot ot abuse; some of it they deserve, some times, and often they don't.'
 Sadly true It is a common phrase that the editor who can please every body has yet to be born; and the editor who tries to please everybody is doomed to failure. Yet no class of men are more generally expected to please everybody, than the editors.
 People neglect to take into account the diversified tones and tinges of human nature, and overlook the truism that "What's one mans poison is an- others meat or drink" that W hat one man denounces as blameworthy may strike another as laudable. The editor is blamed as much for what he omits as for what he prints, when oftentimes if he were to print what he omits he would run the risk of being scalped.
 When the writer, six years ago, took up the pen which today he lays down, he wrote:
 "It's as impossible for a news
 paper to please everybody as Lin-
 coin said it was to fool all of the
 people all of the time.' The best
 that any of us can do is to make
 bluff at it, and try to please some
 of the people most of the time, and
 fool the rest of them some more of
 the time.'
 The constant effort of the conscien. tious country editor is to operate along the lines of least resistance, mindful ever that while his constituency are entitled to the news of the day and the privilege of discussion or public ques. tions in his columns, still there is news and there are views that are better left unpublished, and in the disposition of which he is in duty bound to use the best judgment God has given him.

ONE WORD MORE.

This week, because of circumstances, the undersigned editor and The News come to the parting of the ways, after a six years relationship. In retiring the editor takes occasion to express his heartfelt gratitude for the indulgence and friendly cooperation that have made his labors pleasant. He has made mistakes and acknowledges short comings, a plenty but the consoling reelection remains, that he has striven in his humble way, to make of The News journal that should stand for civic progress, uprightness and all that is best, clean, wholesome and decent in the community, and to give it stand ing among the recognized up-to-date country newspapers of the state.
