NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 19 ,1917.
There is rivalry even in charity.
The issue of the war may be tri :d
out in Ureece after all. Bverybony
hue always said the Balkans where it
starteu wouiu also be the leg.v.n
where it would end.
The high price of food is duo to
short crops and shipments abroad.
There 13 no sense in the slogan Am
erica lor Americans. It is really
America for all Luiupe, and noboo y
for ourselves and we dont care mucu.
The Los Angeles Times has had
more than a fair share of troubles.
It has had it out with labor unions,
with greedy corporations and with
political busses and it concluues that
an editors iot is far from pleasant.
Urly those who have never tried to
run a paper will not agree to this.
One day the editor is an amiable sngel
and the next a clammy toad to be
spined w'ith loathing, ft all depenus
whether he is viewed with the rosy
specoreles of smug complacency or the
baletul vis.on ol one who nse3 from
hie couch suuenng from liver trou
ble and a bad taste in his mouth.
The fate of the newspaper man is 'hut
oi the neutral nation or the private
peacemaker, in the one case he is
buffeted on all his borders, and in the
oiher he is kicked in the slats by both
husband and wife.
The frailties or excesses of the edi
tor are given to the whole world in
black ink on white paper. His short
c< ming and his long goings are pub
lic properly. More often he is abused
frr what he does not, rather than foi
what he does.
• A favorite pastime of the irresponsi
ble layman 13 to dream of owning a
purer long enough to rip somebody
up the buck. Yet if the editor does
happen to tread on the mil of a c.ru
the result is either a libel suit, a fight
or a lost subscriber. Kditorial praise
Is seldom appreciated but editorial
criticism is always strongly and hot
ly resented, Speak kind words about
Smith for a whole lifetime and he
will contentedly accept them as his
due, but let a dinky little Item creep
in that places him in an unpleasant
position and all the good things that
have gone before are forgotten. He
never tried to do the paper any good
before and now he takes up a chib
or axe and does all the damage pos
Bil te. He raves and rages like a cild

withholds the publiaction of some
unhappy bit of news concerning u
hitherto respected citizen that per
son will curehssly express a grati
tude he does not feel. But if the
public learn of the suppression the
rear may be heard for miles. To tho
ord'nury newspaper reader the great
est newspaper crime in the world is
tire suppi-essnen uf salacious - sews.
A ad yet the paper is merely the edl
*01 s show- window in which he may
lig.ufuliy place such of Ills-wares as
: he elects.
In times of a great war, polotical
> eaim u.g..s, pio.ubiliun, and what not,
the editor can keep his balk from
the shoals only by the most careful
s e. i ,ng.
'.f tli* newspaper contains unusual
•eports if German victories, if the.e
is niv.eioUi n 1>..ush i.a-u.UuS, or if
u.e editot sun eptiliously nibbles a
11 ”tzci as he ur.aks his beer he is
i •• tnpi!.\ accused ui being as pv of
to.- Ku.sci .am one of the right (tow
ns ol the Get man chancellor. If a
papei pu.s g.i hug headlines over a
dispatch noeut the Geiman lines
bein-- '-napi back at Veiuun or the
editor ge.s to talk.ng about cricket
.11. Bug. sli horses instead of playing
je.ipicnie, Kari liofmaister Will call
him up on the phono and accuse him
o, uiaki lg shells tor the allies.
>n politics nobody can be pleas'd,
if .0.1 sing a litele song for a protec
tive tariff other partisans will want
to know why an American cannot
stand behind our noble president, if
a paper does happen to chip in a
word of praise for some official act of
our noble presiden, the old guard
thiows out open hm s of treachery.
In the olden days when a man ac
quired a full-sized grudge against a
newspaper he was apt to go hun'ing
fci the editor armed with horse pistols
i- d other venomous cutlery. Nowa
days he merely rings him up on the
phone, . r’llo t int a dodo—domed de
i>lict, r.nd asks that the paper be
stopped. It *an't be done. That
paitieular subscription may be can
celled but the paper never stops.
]• an editor is good he is a sissy,
if he is bad he is a devil. If he rec
■ g.ii/ej 'he licensed saloon he is a
soak if hr- votes for prohibition he is
a bigot. If he shouts for Teddy he
,.nts •■tar; if he dorsnt he is a molly
coddle. If he prints all the news
he is a ghoul; if he doesn't he's a
coward. If he tells the truth he’3 a
menace; if he doesn’t he is a skunk.
I* he goes to church he is a hypo
crat; if he doesn't he's an atheist.
If he's liberal he is a spendthrift; if he
sa' es hi3 money he is a tight-wad.
If he's affable he is a bore; if he k
serious he’s a .grouch.
