Democratic Sentinel, Volume 19, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 November 1895 — An Editor. [ARTICLE]

An Editor.

Some boys were asked the other day to define “editor.” Here are some of their definitions: “An editor is a man who handles words.” “An editor makes his living out of the English language.” “An editor is somebody who does not do anything himself, and when somebody else does, goes and tells other people all about it.” “An editor is a man who has the industry of a beaver, the instincts of a bee and the patience of an ass.”—Book Buyer.
