I . __ ._, 1 Editors Don’t Always Tell Facts The editor has the softest snap Of any man on earth His life is easy all thetfcime Right from the date of birth; He never has to worry what His job will be next week. He'll say nice things of everyone And mention not the freak. His paper will be out on time And everyone will read, And wonder why the editor Don’t print some news, indeed, They’ll lay the paper down and say “You better not begin it, For when you've read the whole thing through There's not a darn thing in it. ” And so it goes from week to week. Life is one merry round. He hunts around for news to print Where'er it may be found, And when the job is finished and The paper on the press. Just what the folks will think of it No man can safely guess. The good subscriber pays his bill And takes the paper home, And sends it to his relatives Wherever they may roam. The one who makes the biggest kick And roars for days and days, He swipes a paper, reads it, and Subscription never pays. Like other men the editor Some day will come to die, And all the people round about Will heave a sorry sigh,* And say “the poor cuss here on earth Had naught his loaf to leaven, And so we hope that he will get A big reward in Heaven.” And say, that’s just about all there is to getting out a newspa per. The editor goes out and snoops around and tries to find some good news to print, and the chances are that the most interest ing item he finds is not fit to pub lish Some papers boast that they print all the news, but if an editor ever undertakes to do that there will be a big obituary notice in the first column before the paper is three weeks older. The news pai»er man, like a politician, is obliged to see everything that is lovely and be blind to that which might offend. In writing up Bet sey's pink tea party it is necessary to say that everyone greatly en joyed the occasion and that they were unanimous in saying that Betsey was a charming hostess. A write-up that didn’t say that wouldn’t be according to the standard custom, and would get the editor into plenty of trouble. If the affair was really written up as it happened, and the real seritiment of the innocent bystan der was expressed, it would read someining use uus: ‘‘A bunch of hens dropped in at Betsey’s, Wednesday afternoon, in response to her invitations. Everyone was afraid she would get sore if they didn’t go, but no one was anxious to attend because they knew Betsey couldn’t frame up a feed that was fit for a tramp, and every stunt she pulled off was a fizzle. As usual, she blustered around like a pollywog in a tea cup, tried to be agreeable to every body and, everyone could see that her giggle was all put on and she wasn’t haying half as much fun as she pretended. If she had had some help in the kitchen and had put in a little more time combing her hair she would have looked a whole lot better. The lunch was a fright. The cake was heavy, the sandwiches weren’t buttered, and the ice cream tasted like it was made out of sour milk. If it wasn’t for fear of missing out on something, or being away and giving the rest of the bunch a chance to talk about them there wouldn’t be enough present at the next; hen party to fill a telephone booth. Of course, everybody pretended to have a good time, and most of them will go again.” Just imagine an editor printing something like that and try to stay in the same community. And yet no one will deny if they are honest about it, that it might be nearer the truth than some junk that is printed purporting to be an account of some social function. But just start out to find enough news to fill up a paper, or even a column. The first man you tac kle will tell you he doesn’t know a thing, no not a thing. The next will assure you that there hasn’t • “V a news item in his part of town in all winter, while the third will as sure you he hasn’t heard of any thing worth printing since Jack Johnson licked Jefferies. By ask- j ing a few qnestions and prying ini a little it may be possibe to learn' that somebody’s baby got run over by a horse; that lightning struck a barn half a mile north of town, that someone was called to the county seat by the death of a relative, that neighbor Jones got his leg broken, and that seven teen or eighteen other things have happened right under their eyes. But when you ask them for news items they never know any. An editor just uaturally has to dig the news out as a hired man digging potatoes.—Ex. In case the paper came out some week with only the new® that came voluntarily, or what came without asking a lot of questions, the patrons would make a holler right away, and the type setter would wonder whether the job would always be such a snap. If you think it is easy to get out a newspaper, come in some day and try it The Old Hone Paper. When father gets the weekly from the Indiana town where him and ma was born, you know he just sets promptly down to read the whole blame paper through, the items great and small, and every advertisement, editorial and all. And ma she turns and frowns at us and says, “You boys be still while pa reads what’s going on back there in Speneerville.” But me and Jud don’t give a hoot ’bout strangers’ joys and woes, the facts about the folks pa knew when him and they was boys, and 'bout the girls that ma knew then. And so we squinn and fuss til ma declares she never saw two meaner kids than us. They ’pear to think we ought to ’joy to hear all that there stuff, when, shucks, we’ve heard it o’er and o'er, til we have got enough! Some feller's dead; pa says, “Poor Jim!” his voice is kinda sad. A party's next; ma says. “I 'low a pleasant time was had!” “H’m, now,” says pa just listen here: 'Twins born the other day to Mis and Mister Brown.’ That's funny —h'm—well, say! Jack Brown and Lyddy’s 60-some—” But ma just stops him, “Pshaw! That there's young Jack, why don’t you know? Have you forgotten, pa?” “I swan,’’says he, “that little tad?” “Law, pa, he’s23!” “Who? —Him? Get out! That can’t be true—now noia on, lemme see: ’Twas only just the other day— Here, Judson, you be still! Well, well, how time has hustled on since we left Spencerville!” And then as pa reads on and on ma's eyes sometimes grow dim, and pa’s voice kinda husky gets, b’cuz to heT and him it’s like a letter from back home, where every tree’s their kin; the place where they was born's the best in all this world of sin, To him and her all that is real, ’bout folks they used to know to know and love and sorrow with in days of long ago. It ’pears like though they’re way off here, it bridges space and years ’twixt now and here and there, each lime the Globe appears. But me and Jud can’t feel that way, and maybe never will, but then, you see, we was born here and ain’t seen Spencerville.—Tom P. Morgan. So long as the favor of William Jennings Bryan appeared to be the surest route to an appointive federal job the Bryan family found it comparatively easy to dominate the democratic orgination in Neb raska. But now that W. J. has occupied a high seat in the syna gogue for a year and a half with out being able to do anything worth while for the faithful le gions who followed him to three sad but glorious defeats, the mu tiny against “Brother Charley” and himself is becoming serious. When a great democratic news paper like the jWorld-Herald and a loyal democratic worker like John Maher fling dofiance in the teeth of the Bryan brothers, as they did a few days ago, the situa tion may conservatively be de scribed as tense. Unless all pre sent indications fail the republi can split of 1912 will pale into in significance by the side of the de mocratic rupture that is develop ing in 1914_Caster County Re publican.
