A Happy New Year

When we have thought of all the
good things to say in our expressions
of thankfulness to our patrons for
their many kindnesses, no words are

"May the new year be brighter
May all hearts be lighter
May our boy come home brighter

May our country so glorious

where IN the neighborhood of 50 900 OOO,-

Under the circumstances / feel I can
never forgive myself for not having de-
posted $4,000 in the First National
Bank of Pennsylvania when l first went

Wild Editors | Have Known

if you don't watch out, and there's the
one who warns you solemnly against
! Greenwich Village.
And there is the one who bought this
piece. What shall we say of him?
These are a few. How hard we try
to understand them; how humbly do we
take their measures and tailor the story
to fit. Ready-mades for editors? Never.
They may buy their hats from bargain
stand, but their stories are made to
order And if he doesn't like the mate
rial, or the way it's put together, or
if he had one like it last year, there's
no use; he won't even give it house room
over night.
What folly of salesmanship it would be
to offer the frock- coated managing editor
of the gravest daily in New York an airy
trife on lingerie and lipsticks, or what
Bessie Broadway will wear at the beach!
With what disgust would he view such
a lapse of judgment, and with what a
disdainful thumb would the very office
boy pen your name and send it speeding
back. But send him an article on move
ment, campaign, a scientific discovery,
and the money is yours. This is by way
of a simple example to show how care
fully the author must consider the edi-
tors in his field, how they toll not,
neither do they spin, yet have the only
key that fits into the door of success
and future and career
And authors do consider carefully. An
anthology of editors is the unwritten
masterpiece of most of them.

1t was so with the lady who stood in the
middle of the street and sang violently
to decidedly disinterested gentleman on
the sidewalk
1t was his unbroken silence that made
it hard to follow. Even when an unex-
pected policeman came up and was sung
to the thing became no palmer. 1t was
evident from the policeman's manner that
he wished for her to go and sing amid
other surroundings, but she did not care
for his suggestions. Then the policeman
went away and she tired of the gentle
mans inattention presently. SO she went
away singing and he went away in silence,
and no one knows yet what the matter was
the policeman least of all.
Another unsolved mystery is how he man
aged or happened, or whatever it was. to
disgrace her. 1t was certain that he had.
She said so time and again as they stood in
front of her steps. She felt rather deeply
about 1t, so it appeared. Just what his
attitude was will always be uncertain, for
he took it more quietly than She

New-York tribune., 1919-04-06

G PEDLER of pincushions could
{ write his volume about the
housewives Of the country, and
his work would stand as au-
thentlc. A scribbler who escorts his
pieces from office to office comes to
know his editors in the same intimate
fashion. If housewife likes blue, the
pedler pulls out fat blue thing and
bangles it before her eyes until she
buys. In the same wise, the writer
whether real or imitation, sizes up the
great gent that presides over the dummy
sheet and the wastebasket and -
strives to please.
The housewife may be strong minded,
q perfect resistant to these wiles and
traps, and, ye gods. so may be the edi-
tor, but the psychology of salesman
ship is practically the same, for selling
is selling the world over, whether it's
poems or pie pans in your sample case.
The only difference between the sales
man proper and the writer is that the
writer makes his own product, poor
wretch, and is on strictly commission
basis. Otherwise the whole dreary busi-
ness is the same.
And so, as we stick our noses day
after day into that consecrated, hal
lowed ground that is the editorial
chamber, we learn a thing or two or
three about editors. There is that one
who takes you out to lunch, bless him.
and the editor who wears suspenders.
unashamed; there is the one who flatters
you to death and never buvs vour
stories; there is he who edits YOU vi
ciously and advertises your stuff in 49,
point caps. There is the one who tells
you you're too clever to be great. and
there is he who remarks that YOU'RE foo
lazy to be famous. There is the editor
who predicts that success will get Won
