If you see fit to publish it you can do so.) “With malice toward all and charity toward none we begin the New Year, hoping that a wave of prosperity may come this way.” “There are many people who think the life of an editor is an easy one to live, that he has noth, ing to do but draw his salary andr take his ease. This they object to on the grounds of hatred. They seem to forget that on his industry and ability depends their knowledge of the outside world; that they owe to him not only their advancement over the savages but the spirit of advancement which continually leads them onward and upward. He sacrafices his rest, his health and personal enjoyment upon the alter of labor.”—Editor Finn.
