As USUAL

An editor ID a man VINO sbils 5odp Wy
the year instead of by the cake.
He runs a newspaper, in which he lies
about the looks Of the bride, the fitness
OF the candidate. the virtue Of corpses.
The things he tells the truth about
are the things he leaves out.
Newspaper men are supposed to run,
but many of them are barely able to
walk due to too much riding by the free
space grafters, and too much carrying
by wholesale houses.
The popular belief is that an editor
can not live unless his subscribers pay
up. That is probably why they do not
pay up.
The most successful editors are not
the ones who get the most out OF the
business, but the ones who get out OF
the business.
Many an editor has made good money
out Of the newspaper business, II entire
" out.
What the public seems to want an ed
itor to make is haste, not money.
The newspaper is not SO much Of a
profession as a habit. If the habit is
not broken in time the editor will be.
After the editors, the paper manufac-
turers make the most money out Of the
newspaper business. And 1t would be
much better for the newspaper business
if the newspaper manufacturers were
not after the editors.
One of the saddest things in an ed
itor's life Is that he has to help keep
the paper manufacturers from starving
to death.
Editors are said to mold opinions. We
have often wondered why public opinion
was so mouldy.
Most public men are made by news
papers, which Is one of the greatest
objections to newspapers.
The freedom Of the press is one OF
the grandest heritages left to us by the
fathers who founded our republic. but
the freedom of the presses Is badly
clogged by pied forms.
Real editors nave to be born. For that
matter, however, 90 do other people.

he gets in. II he did he would never get

Mr.. Bursum Thinks
Mine Tax Law Is
Probably Valid Onel

(From Socorro Chieftain, organ of II. Q.
Bursum, who put the mine tax law over.)
We suggest that the better way to get rid
Of the mine tax law, IL 1t is not satisfactory,
10 through the Legislature. To declare the
present law unconstitutional, through the
courts, will not get us anywhere but back
to the old system, whereby no big mining
company working numbers Of men paid any
tax to amount to anything. In all proha.
bility the law Is constitutional, and the only
result from the present attempt may be
the cutting off Of some state revenue While
the courts reach q decision.
