MINISTER FINDS EDITORS
 CHAIR IS HARD TO FILL

Yakima, Wash.-No one can run the other fellows jobas well as his own, though he may, until he has tried ir, be fully convinced that he is able to dc so. said Rev. D. w. Ferry here, after a week as editor pro tenn of the Yakima Daily Republic.
 The Presbyterian minister took the position after series of arguments with the editor, Col. W. w. Robertson, about the Republics editorial policy, especially in regard to the prohibition law, and its enforcement.
 Lots of persons think they can write editorials and run newspapers without he least difficulty" said the Reverend. I wish they could all try it once. It would develop fine spirit of tolerance, though after the experi- ence they might not survive long enough to exemplify it. If have to retire from the ministry, I certainly am. not going to try to find any rest in the editorial chair. It isn't there"
 Ferry said that he had learned that preaching every Sunday. is nothing like. the strain of filling editorial. col umns day by day. "The demands of newspaper space and time are so re- lentless that could not stand up un- der them long,"

 With a profuse apology and low bow, Marshall said: "Your Honor, I have the greatest respect for this court and the judge who presides over it. 1 intend to carry out every wish of this court, sir, and I will therefore pay the fine immediately.
 "As it happens, however, l have not the full amount of thirty dollars with me at this moment, and since no one zin-this court room knows me better than Your Honor, I must ask you to lend me that amount so that I can pay off this assessment at once."
 The judge cleared. his throat. and thens recovered his wit. Turning to the clerk he said in his z starnest: Clerk, remit that fine. The United States Government can better afford to lose thirty dollars than l."
