Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1904 — TREAT THE EDITOR RIGHT. [ARTICLE]

TREAT THE EDITOR RIGHT.

Every man in every town during the course of a life time, has to ask a favefr of an editor. There are no exceptions to this rule. A man may escape a doctor. He may keep clear of the courts, but once in his life, at least, every man has to go to a newspaper to ask to have a certain piece put in, to have a certain piece kept out or to have his name printed in or omitted from some item. It is therefore to your interest to treat the editor fairly. He desires to be fair; he would rather do the right thiDg than the wrong thing; but if you give him a kick, the dent of it may be found in the top of your own hat some day, and yon will never know how it got there. Don’t think that providence has especially favored you, for your time will come and when it comes, it will be a fine investment if you have a friend in the editor’s office. —Martin County Tribune.

The Famous Story of “Mrs. Wiggs” and “Lovey Mary” to Be Seen On The Stage of the drand Opera House, Chicago. What promises to be one of the quaintest and oddest of all this season’s theatrical offerings—a play novelty that comes heralded as the laughing hit of the season — is soon to be seen by Chicago playgoers on the stage of the Grand Opera House, where dear, delightful Mrs. Wiggs (that now national favorite, whose unfailing cheerfulness and deep human sympathy have made her everybody’s friend, and who bids fair to become an immortal creation of American realism and humor) is to make her bow before the footlights on Sunday evening, July 10. Madge Carr Cook, the expert comedienne, who has so distinguished herself in a wide range of character roles, is said to give the half-humorous, half-touching and wholly lovable old lady an ideal incarnation. Chicago playgoers can soon listen to the quaint sayings, the ludicrous “malapropisms,” the famous epigrams of Mrs. Wiggs from her own lips—hear a lot of new ones, too, it is promised—and see her looking straight at them across the footlights. She will be seen in her own famous tin-roofed, two-doored cottage, making the most of her semi-grotesque poverty, with a serene optimism and a cheerfulness, looking after her three little, “jography” named girls (Asia. Australia and Europena), sheltering and “sticking up’’ for runaway Lovey Mary, with little Tom my, and running the affairs of the Cabbage Patch in her own motherly way.
