Don't Worry About the Editor.
"It takes money to run a newspaper."
—St. John (Kan.) News.
What an exaggeration; what a whop
per! It has been disproved a thousand
times; it is a case of airy fancy. It
doesn't take money to run a newspaper.
It can run without money. It is not a
business venture. It is a charitable in
stitution, a begging concern, a highway
robbery. A newspaper is the child of
the air, a creature of a dream. It can
goon and on, and any other concern
would be in the hands of the receiver
and wound up with cobwebs in the
windows. It takes wind to run a news
paper; it takes gall to run a newspaper.
(That is probably the reason so many
people think they can run a newspaper.)
It takes the scintillating, acrobatic im
agination and a half dozen white shirts
and a railroad pass to run a newspaper.
But money-—heavens to Betsy and six
hands round, who ever needed money
to run a newspaper? Kind words are
the medium of exchange that do the
business for the editor—kind words and
church sociable tickets! When you see
an editor with money, watch him. He
will be paying his bills and disgracing
his profession. Never give money to
an editor. Make him trade it out. He
likes to swap.
Then, when you die, after having
stood around for years and sneered at
the editor and his little jim-crow paper,
be sure to have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your weep
ing children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notice about
you forewarn her to neglect to send 15
cents to the editor. It would overwhelm
him. Money is a corrupting thing.
The editor knows it; what ho wants is
your heartfelt thanks. Then he can
thank the printers and they can thank
the grocers.
Teach your children the nonsense of
patronizing the home paper, and see to
it that the first batch of printing they
have anything to do with is contracted
for at some foreign house—the further
away the better—for it will tend to cre
ate in them broad minds, a magnificent
commencement, none of this old fogy
ism of helping your own town. And
get your letter heads, stationery and
invitations of every kind printed out of
town, it will bring you trade and make
the foreign printer think you are up-to
date in your ideas, and that he has
caught another , and then flood the
editor with beautiful thoughts in reso
lutions of respect and cards of thanks.
They make such spicy reading, and
when you pick it up tilled with these
glowing and vivid mortuary articles,
you are proud of your little local paper!
But money—scorn the filthy thing.
Don't let the pure innocent editor know
any thing about it. Keep that for sordid
trades people who charge for their wares
the editor gives his bounty away. The
Lord loves a cheerful giver! He'll take
care of the editor. He has a charter
from the State to act as doormat for the
company. He will get the paper out
somehow; and stand up for the town
and whoop it up for you when you run
for office, and lie about your weasel
faced, pigeon-toed daughter's tacky
wedding and blow about your big-foot
ed, lop-eared sons when they get a $4 a
week job, and weep over your shriveled
soul when it is released from its grasp
ingbody, and smile at your giddy wife's
second marriage. Don't worry about
the editor—he'll get on. The Lord
knows how—but somehow.—Ex.
