"How Can | Write EditoriaIs?'

Continued from First Column)
you do not believe anything in particular wait until
you do-then write editorials
Practice writing of other kinds meanwhile
Read history rapidly, to get general clear view in
existence this earth
Observe how has always been ability riding on the
back of weakness
The most powerful made slaves of the weaker men
with the power of his fist
Later, intelligent made slaves of the mentally weak
and credulous by the power Of threatening religion
Then cunning hired the cunning and put the load
on the backs of the poor BY THE POWER OF MONEY and
legal chicanery.
That joy ride is going on at the present time.
Study conditions around you and study the truths of the
past.
Speculate about the future take nothing for granted
always ask WHY and don't stop thinking until you have
found an answer that at least satisfies YOU
Young Mr.. Sherman, of Stanton Ill, wants to know
about the School Of Journalism at Columbia
It is an excellent school Others perhaps good
none is better.
The real school Of journalism is THE WORLD.
The School of Journalism in Columbia is particularly
good because is in the biggest CITY, where the student may
learn not only in books but in destinations wealth and in
miserable poverty Much remains to be done in this world
by editorial writing preaching, awmakng and especially
THE GREAT CROWD.
Think clearly and ALL THE TIME Write simply, use
the words and and the thoughts
and over.
The complete decalogue which FoRBIDs is short. Tho
editorial decalogue which encourages and AFFIRMS is
short also The good writer does not discover and display
ornamental truths He tells the old in the language
Of his day. and they are new to the people of his day
We give word of warning concerning the great danger
in newspaper let your BRAIN mind heart get
callous.
The doctor who cuts of your leg without any feeling Of
sympathy is better doctor than who shvers
and shakes with emotion he puts the knife in your flesh
doctor who is used to it, is the better doctor But
the editor who is fused to it, is ended
The editor who tells Of injustice when his mind has
ceased to feel it, the editor who describes arrogant wealth
and miserable pleading poverty with admiration Of
the wealth and indifference to the poverty is dead without
knowing it.
The employer of that editor does know what has
happened to him. perhaps and the rich man who reads him
does not know
But the poor man far of DOES KNOW

The German Emperor is much en-
ragged by the abdication of the king
of Greece, his brother-in-law. He
says il will only be temporary, for
Germany will restore him by might
