REWARDS OF THE PROFESSION

II
| The financial troubles of the news
paper editor, particularly of the count
| try editor, have long formed the sub
ject of newspaper persiflage. The typ.
| ical old time editor carried heavy bur.
den of debt, and struggled along as best
he could with an outworn plant. He
distributed his free puffs and personal
compliments with infinite good nature
and friendliness, and thought but little
of money return. He never knew where
he stood financially and when the cup.
board was bare he went bill collecting. 1.
| Many editors who have swayed the
opinion of state and nation did business
| In this irregular way. 1nnumerable
others less conspicuous did their best
under great difficulties to render COM
munity service. But inability to mod.
erniZe their plants. or to hire sufficient
or adequate help, limited the quality Of
the service they were able to give.
Many large newspapers of national
| reputation have always paid their re-
porters but a pittance, and editors but
| little more. AS q result there has been
constant shifting of newspaper forces.
Many young men try the business for
a few years and then quit. Then a new
| force of Cubs has to be taken on and
broken in. tyf
