WHY EDITORS MAKE MISTAKES

The editor of a newspaper is not
infallible and makes mistakes the
same as any other human being, but
no one knows this better than does
the editor himself The nature of an
editors work makes his mistakes
more conspicuous.
We have noticed a number Of squibs
in our exchanges regarding mistakes.
These items lead us to believe that
other buffers besides editors are sub
ject to this malady. The editors mis-
takes stand out more conspicuously
than most other professional mems
because every issue of his paper is
an open letter to the public.
A fellow may happen along and in
form his neighbor that there is new
set of twins at Hicks place, and if
later it develops that the twins were
boy, no one pays any attention to
the originator of the false rumor. But
should it appear in the paper as orig
inally reported, the father will in all
probability be down and exchange
bullet courtesies with the editor.
Again when the village belle
chances to get tied up to some worth
less cuss, whose only qualifications
are that he can relate suggestive
stories, the whole town may with i'm
punity review the past history of the
two and it cuts very little ice. But
if the editor happens to spell the
groom's name with an 90 instead of
an "a and overlook to record the
fact that the bride is a member in
good standing of the Ladies' Aid SO
ciety, they both would be insulted and
mereilessly fay the editor and his
Gimlet
What is strange about the mistakes
of newspaper man is the fact that
no matter how many errors he makes
in lying about another mans quail
ties, he never lays himself liable to
be punctured with a thirty-two, or
lynched Indeed, it is funny old
world
Everybody makes mistakes. The
only ones who never make them are
slumbering in the cemeteries-and it
is not unlikely that some of them are
there because the doctors also make
mistakes.
A man often makes mistake by
marrying when he should have taken
a post graduate course in how to sup
port himself A fine woman often is
in error when she wantonly throws
herself away on some fool who can
sing coon songs like Caruso, but
couldn't make noise like loaf of
bread to save his life.
A boy makes mistake when he
thinks he knows more than the en-
tire staff of teachers, including the
principal of the schools. The world
is plumb full of mistakes and mistake
makers,
II the newspaper man should take
the pains to record them all he'd make
the mistake of his life and die on the
bed of the press with his shirt sleeves
rolled up and his boots on.-Newville

SO much as the attitude OF the Smelt-
ing Company implied in this act. 1t
is the first time that it ever responded
to such condition in its monopoly
management. 1t implies to our mind
rest that it and the other prof1teers
have engendered. 1t implies to us
that the company sees a prospect of
retribution and retaliation. 1t is a
certainty that the company feels itself
slipping somehow.-Boulder County

BILLION FOR DISABLED
VETERANS

"The Republicans have made their
record upon their gratitude toward the
aation's defenders on land and sea-"
stated Representative Simeon D. Fess,
of Ohio, before the recent adjournment
of congress. Liberal legislation for
the care of the disabled and infirm and
their dependents has ever marked Re-
publican policy toward the soldier and
sailor of all the wars in which our
country has participated. The present
congress has appropriated generously

The amounts already applied and
authorized for the fiscal year 1920-2I
for this purpose reach the stupendous
sum of $1,1S0,671.S93. This legislation
is significant of the partys purpose in
generously caring for the MANNED and
disabled men of the recent war;

The farmers aren't going to strike.
Of this there is not the remotest dan
ger. At the same time, however, it
is just as we'll to consider that they
are not going to produce any more
than they are physically able to pro-
duce. When the farmers help goes
to town for higher wages and shorter
hours, the farmers production of food
naturally falls off. Don't overlook this
very salient fact-Fort Wayne News.

FEDERAL FUNDS PROVIDED FOR
VOCATIONAL TRAINING THOSE
DISABLED IN THEIR LINE DUTY

washington, July An impor.
tant piece of legislation enacted at
ms session of congress, and approv.
ed by the president on the last day
OF the session, is an act providing
Tor the promotion of vocational re-
Mobilization of persons disabled in
industry or otherwise and for the
return of such persons to some use

IONS OF this act the federal govern.
ment proposes to cooperate with the
states in the work of restoring to
occupational efficiency men and wo.
men who have been manned by ac-
cident in any way whatever, or dis
abled by disease, or who may be
congenitally crippled.
In anticipation of the passage of
federal legislation for this purpose
more than n dozen states have al
ready enacted laws providing for the
vocational rehabilitation of disabled
men and women, and providing in
some cases in advance for accept
fnce OF the requirements of the fed
eral act which has now been APPROX
ed by the president
Persons dis'-3ied' are defined in
the act to include ANY person who

infirmity, whether congenital or ac-
quired by accident, injury, or dis. /
ease, is, or may be expected to be,
totally or partially lncapacitated for
remunerative occupation
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education is the administrative fed
eral agency. A federal appropriation
of $750,0Q0 is made for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1921 and 0
81 100000 annually for three years
following. These appropriations are
to be allotted to the states in pro
portion to their population and ev-
cry federal dollar spent by the states
in training disabled men and women
must be matched by an equalamOunt
of money provided in the states.
Thus, If the states provide for the
use of the total amount of the feder-
al appropriation a joint fund of fed
