W EDITOR’S AXIOMS
Editor \V. F. Thompson, of the
I lirbanks \ews-.Minei. on August -0
th. had been if. the newspaper business
for forty years. Mr. Thompson said in
an editorial, he had learned many
tilings but the greatest of all \vtue
' m uer! up in the following axioms:
“laves of great men all inmind us
that »t is easy to lie.”
“When you s e an editor who can
please ever) leader, you will see him
through a little square of glass, and
;n a box. and we won’t be standing
up.”
“Politics is its own reward.”
•‘The wages of sin are the only
wages which have never be reduced.”
"The ten commandments, written
I<■ v- than ten minutes. probablv
with a bu nt Mick, have stood through
at the censorship of ages without
revision.”
“It may he t'lie; and. then, again,
it may not.”
“The world and all in it moves in
a circle: don’t break your hack to
keen up with the procession; drop out
an*' est ami then catch on again when
the poeession circles around again to
where you are at.”
And a lot more of ’em.
