Sizing up the Country Editor.
uh in Somerset Standard.
There have been a great many men
who after having tried different kinds
of business and failed have come to the
conclusion that they had been provi-
dentially called to publish a paper.
After a short experience in the editor-
ial chair they have concluded that
somebody else had been called when
they answered. A man may plead or
preach the gospel successfully with less
brains than it takes to conduet a paper.
The man who expects to edit a paper
with a pair of shears and a bottle of
mucilage will make an Igunominious
failure.
The editor must be a living encyelo-
pedia. Ile must know something about
everything. He must be able to dis-
cuss the affoirs of the government, re-
ligion, education, society, books, amuse-
ments, men, institutions, everything.
He must have strong ideas of his own
and be able to discuss them forcibly
and fearlessly. Ile must be able to
meet and withstand criticism and
abuse. No paper succeeds in this coun-
rTiry without being well cursed. In ad-
dition to this the editor must be a good
business manager and financier. We
know of no way in which a fortune can
be made to disappear more quickly and
leave less truce of its former existence
than to crush it under the cylinder of
a mismanaged printing pres-.
The successful editor must have a
strong individuality, which must stand
out on every page of his paper. He
must strike out fearlessly and hew for
himself a path through the forest of
journalism. If he attempts to follow
beaten paths and retail second-hand
ideas, the most interesting part of bis
paper will be the advertisements for
patent medicines and hair dye. Dur-
ing bis life the personality ot Horace
Greely was photographed on every
page cf the New York Tribune. “Nich-
olas Nickelby” would be flat without
Charles Dickens in it.
ular and successful a paper must have |
a policy and fearlessly adhere to it.
The neutral paper usually dies of
cholera infantum.
The editor is the hardest worked man
in the community. He is everlastivgly
at it. While the public is leaning back
in its easy chair, leisurely regaling
itself with the good things provided in
his last issue, the editor is pounding
away hammer and tongs and cudjeling
Lis brain to prepare the next feast.
But with all the hard work and poor |
pay connected with it we do not wonder |
that men have an ambition which aims |
at the editorial chair. All other means
employed for the dissemination of
knowledge are weak compared with
that of the newspaper press. It is the
mighty lever that moves the world.
The battering-ram that breaks down
the wails of ignorance and sin, letting |
in the sunlight of intelligence, civiliza-
tion and Christianity.
And what does the editor get in re-
turn for all this expenditure of brains,
energy and persev erance? The things
that he doe-n’t g:t are so numerous
that we have not room tospeak of them
here.

You have noticed, little friends,
That cats don’t wash their faces
Before they eat, as children do,
In all good Christian places.
