Editors are so much given to making their lot a matter of pleasantry that per- haps people generally take that sort of statement as a joke. But it is the literal truth. Doctors, lawyers, mer- chants. farmers and people of practic- cally every other calling have a chance to make something more than a liv- ing, but the newspaper publisher, par- ticularly the country publisher, has not, There is no money in the busi- ness. When you ni',u a newspaper man who has been able to lay by a few thousands, you will almost invar- iably find that the money has been made through some fortunate invest- ment outside his regular business. It is also true that to no enterprise is any town so much indebted for its progress and prosperity as to its news- papers. So the Beacon's statement ie the sober, unexaggerated truth. Editor9 are working for the public, not for themselves, and precious little thanks, as a rule they get for it,--Or- illia Packet.
