EVER, THINK OF IT ?
The .editor of a newspaper is often
ahcused of .leaving out certain items
of news purposely, because 0! dis-
like to the person. to be mentioned;
or from prejudice or° another '' cause.
This is all bosh. The editor has
something; like a Million ` different
things to think of in connection
with the issue of one paper and it is
not surprising if he misses ail item
occasionally or sometimes forgets
one which has been called to his. at-
tention; Nide out of ten people you
f u r news items will •tell you, they
can' 'think of any. But in ,most.
cases they expect•the editor; to
thi of them all and criticise him if
ho faits in asingle item. The best
sway is• togive the editor credit for
whethe does find and mention, and
for something thathe does find and
doesn't mention—Stanley, N. D, Sun:

A CLINTON OLD BOY.
On! February. 5th, Neil Fox; . the
manager of the Morden Empire cele-
brated his fiftieth anniversary. Mr.
Fox is' an old Clinton:, Ont:, boy,
who • came tb ,,Manitoba about 30
years. ago. Mir. Fox was the nianage.
er of ,the first paper puplishect in Mor-
den, and .during, his residence 'there
has seen quite a number of newipap-
'. er changes in that. town: .He has
been connected in ti arious, capacities
with the followingpMorden papers
The • News, the . Monitor„ the .Herald'
and the .Chronicle. Morden has now
two papers, the Empire and the
Chronicle. -Printer arid .Publisher.
Thesecond of a series of literary
meetings arranged by the ' Clinton
Club was held in their rooms on
Friday, evening,. when Mr. J. T:' Clark
of .The Toronto Star addressed the
members .of the club and a number of
invited guests. The Presidente Mr. D
A. 'Forrester occupied the chair and
introduced the speaker in a very neat
and characteristic speech. Mr. Clark
took for his subject,_• "British ir'oli-,,
tics." "Joe" has his own, original
way of looking at things, and of de-
scribing things that come under his
observation, and 'on this occasion, be-
ing among friends 'whom lie know
well, he did not attempt a scot speech
but "just' talked" and talked ' most
interestingly for half an hour or
'more. Amongst other things, he said
that his visit to England had shak-
en. his faith in cables, and in illus-
tration said that the only war scare
that he found was in Canada. "I
didn't; meet a scared man in England"
said Mr. Clark, "and I do not think
that the Britisher exists who really
fears a landing of the Germans or
anyone else on the Tight Little Is-
land." The speaker was much im-
pressed with the class distinction in
England ; something for which • the
1 average Canadian is not prepared.
Other speakers of the evening were :
Messrs. J. A. Taylor and Simpson
Rennie of Toronto, Jas. Scott of
Seaforth, Rev. 0. T. Gunne, Mayor
Taylor and Messrs. A. P.. Gundry
and J. Hartley of Clinton. At the
conclusion of the program light lunch
was served and social cleat indulged
in for some little time.
