EDITORS ARE HUMAN.

We often wonder if it has ever occurred to some people that editors arc human, and not super-beings gifted with second sight. An editor is constantly on the hunt for news of interest to the people who read and pay for his paper, and he never intentionally omits an article of any importance. The success of his paper depends upon his impartiality in this respect. And yet often some person conceives the erroneous idea that the editor has purposely left out some item concerning them or their families.- ; Has it ever occurred to them that the editor may not have heard of that particular item, although he searched diligently in 'his efforts to secure all of the news? There is a very effective remedy for these' isolated but inadvertant omissions. The next time you have a piece of Hews concerning yourself, or your family, or your neighbors, or of your community, give it to the editor yourself, or phone or write it in to him. and do not depend upon others to do it. They may be more interested in affairs of their own side of the fence.

The editor win thank you for your thoughtfulness in enabling him to secure news that will add to the value of his paper and make it of interest to all of the people, for that is his mission in life. He is hutiian, as well as von.
