Running a newspaper is jnst like running a hotel, only different. When a man goes into a hotel and finds something on the table which •does not suit Wm. he does not raise hades with the landlord and tell him to stop his old hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish to one side wades into the many dishes that suit him. It is different with some newspaper readers. They find an article occasionally that does not suit thsgn exactly and without stopping, to’think it may please hundreds of other readers, make a grand stand act and tell the editor how a paper should be run and what should be put into it. But. such people are becoming fewer every year.
