EDITING A NEWSPAPER
Editing a newspaper is a pleasant
business—tit you gain' stand it.
If it contains any, adve ntelements
the ;subscribers claim they take too
,inch space.
If there ms e. scarcity of advertis
i,n , it is ulipot,u1ar, and the people
won't have it.
If we attend church regularly, they
say we .de it for effect.
If we stay away from church, they
say we are ,moist rouser heathenish,
If we accept an iutvitation to a wedd-
ing they say we are invited, to a"uvrrite
it Ifp we are one the streets much,
they say we neglect our business.
If we ava:.i? going on the street,
they say we don't hustle around af-
ter
fter the :news.
If we reject a ltoae-winded cam-
munirttion, its author becomes furl-
ovsly enraged and discontinues his
paper.
If we publish lengthy gommu sear•
tions, our .subscribers say we lack die-
cretion, and ptit them tin to Ale ope
