There never was a preacher or a president, poet or politician who could please everybody. There never was a tinker or tailor, soldier or sailor who could suit us all. Show us a doctor or lawyer, a merchant or sawyer who pleases the whole multitude. The Lord himself and all the angels in heaven have never been half successful in satisfying the human race. There is not a thing on earth or anywhere else that meets the approval of all mankind. Then it would be nonsense for editors to fret when their honest efforts fail to please a few.
