his father to write an essay on edi-
tors. and here is the result 81
don't know how newspapers come to
be in the world. don't think God
does for he hain't got nothing to say
about them and editors in the Bible
| think the editor is one of the miss
ing links you read Of, and stayed in
the bushes until after the flood; and
then came out and wrote the thing
up, and has been here every since.
| don't thinN he ever dies. never
saw a dead one and never heard of
one getting licked. Our paper is a
mighty good one; but the editor goes
without underclothcs all winter and
don't wear any socks, and paw ain I
paid his subscription since the paper
started, ! asst paw if that was why
the editor had to suck juse out OF
snowballs in the winter an go to bod
when he had a shirt washed in the
summer. And then paw took me on,
into the woodshed and licked ne aw-
full hard. If the editor makes mis-
take folks says he ought to be hung:
but if doctor makes a mistake he
buries them and people dassent say
nothing because doctors can read
and write Latin. When the editor
makes a mistake there is lawsuits
and a big fuss; but il doctor makes
one there is a funeral, cut flowers
and perfect silence. A doctor can
use word "A yard long without him
or anybody knowing what it means;
but If the editor uses one he has to
spell il. If the doctor goes to see
another mans wife he charges for
the visit; but if the editor goes he
gets a charge of buckshot. When
the doctor gets drunk it's case of
being overcome by heat and if he
dies it's from heart trouble; when an
editor gets drunk it's case Of too
much booze and il he dies it's the

doctor; an editor has to be born.
