PREACHERS MID
NEWSPAPER EDITORS
Ross Hammond of the Fremont
Tribune Makes a
Comparison.
Among: other advantages enjoy
ed by the editors of the state at
their Omaha meting last week
wa? the receipt of a copious quan
tity of good advice. And editors
are not the people who do not
need it or do not expect it. One of
their chief functions is to listen
to advice concerning the manage
ment of their papers and to give
such heed as their good horse
sense may suggest, says the Fre
mont Herald.
On this occasion they were re
galed with some excellent admoni
tions in eloquent fashion by a
talented preacher. What he said
was worthy the place and the oc
casion and was calculated to give
the, editors courage and inspira
tion; to fire an ambition for high
er things in their profesison.
Everybody advises the editor, for
everybody has his idea of how a
paper should be conducted; na
turally so because this is a nation
of newspaper readers, and thus a
nation of newspaper critics. This
particular preacher "talked down"
In the editors, in a sense, as per
haps he had a right to do, because
he is a very talented preacher.
Also his profession is one that
deals with moral and spiritual
things and contains none of the
fross material elements that
necessarily enter into a profes
sion like that of the editor, who
must more than "make both ends
meet" if be would continue a
force in the world. Still, we have
no hesitancy in saying that the
press is outrunning the pulpit in
these days in influencing public
morals and in the work of ad
vancing reforms. Two con
spicuous phases of modern life
are tenantless pews and news
papers with marvelous circula
tions. Newspapers preach, as
.well as do the preachers them
selves. And the pastor of the
largest church in Omaha does not
make his voice heard by one-third
as many people as does the editor
of the smallest paper in Nebraska.
We doubt not if the pastors of the
land had as wide a hearing as do
the editors they would have a
greater influence than the editors
do, but it is not possible for them
to gain such hearing. This
fortuitous condition on the side of
the editor is, of course, greatly
1o his advantage. He should make
the most of bis opportunity. He
should be better educated than he
is. He should possess greater
moral courage. He should, in a
word, approach more nearly to a
perfect manhood. For imperfect
humanity should always pray to
approach more and more unto
perfection. The point we wish to
make is that the editor's work is
taking a firmer hold of the people
today than is the preacher's work.
This ought not to be so, and per
haps it is the preacher's fault.
