next TO the local teacher and the local
preacher. is the butt of every passing
fancy Of those who read. The pub
Usher is supposed to get out paper
that is worth $l.50 yearly. TO do
that there are certain things required
Cavancss touches lightly on some Of
them. And he takes the practical,
common-Sense view of things Mr.
Cavancss says:
Another thing: An editorial page
that is read may do harm as easily
as it does good. 1t can lower stand
ards as well as raise them-much
easier 1t can pollute minds rs easily
as it can inspire them. The editor
who makes his editorial page a sewer
for hirc-hand smut, pool-room filth,
the sordd wit of the underworld, is
more of Il menace to Il community
than the local bootlcgger.
Nor is there any value of an cdi-
torial page to take upon itself the
righting of every wrong, the cham
pioning of every right, but unpopular
issue, the batting of every head that
needs to be hit, so that it drives the
plant into the hands of the receiver
and the editor i"to the poorhousc.
undiplomatic frenzy to hasten the
millennium is just as foolish as truck
ling to evil is cowardy Let the
preachers, the church members, the
Salvation Army, the w. C. r. U. the
tom patriots, all have their share in
tne great work of the worlds rcdcmp-
! ton. 1t is just as much of rcig-
ious duty, you know, for the editor to
properly clothe his wife and children
as it is for him to expose every liar
and hypocritc on the townsite.
Do not misunderstood me. There
are times when editors, to do their
duty and maintain their self respect
should hit heads, and when they hit
them they should not hit them with
feathers. There are times when un-
popular issues should be indorsed. In.
dorse them courageously. There are
wrongs that newspapers must right
no matter how much it cuts the gate
receipts. Don't stop when the job is
only half done But in all this, use
common sense, remembering that 8
live newspaper that prints wholesome
news, breaches good cheer and goot
citizenship and all that, is really o.
more lasting use and benefit to com
munity than long -nosed. fussy on,
that tries so hard to reform the world
it winds up unable to pay its bills.
Another thing: The editor who fail.
to give credit where credit is due i:
a thief. Il is just as much grant
larceny to steal the product of anoth
er's brain as it is to steal his mule OF
his wife, and an editorial page run b,
a thief will never bring the top mar
ket price

had a strong wakening influence on

The grown-ups would have pretty
hard time to pass muster when mca-

Brown county school children have
taken an oath to wash their hands and
their faces before each meal and their

evening; not to spit in public places;
not to use public drinking cup; to
destroy every fly they can; not to
throw rubbish in the yard; to do some
