OUR COUNTRY'S VITAL NEED. Men with a qufekened sense of national responsibility, who will galvanize. Into immediate aotion those who consider this war incidental instead of crucial the better that every phase of It may be vigorously prosecuted regardless of their personal sacrifice.

AX UNEDITED ITEtf Anions the onerous tasks of a newspaper office, especially in the smer towns, not the least is the editing of "copy" of local Importance that is submitted fro mthe outside. Bishop Scadding of Oregon showed an intelligent appreciation of this as well as an unexpected knowledge of the conditions and requirements when, in delivering an address on the press and referring to the careless writing of church notices, he said: "The task of preparing several hundred notices has become the most detested work in the newspaper offices and every Friday night our civilizing Influence on the working staff is in a large measure undone. It i3 only due to the newspapers that we be courteous even In this small matter and take pains to present well-dressed and clvrefully prepared copy. In preparing matter for the press you should observe newspaper roles of composition: Tell your story In the first three lines three words are better and elaborate afterward. Then the reader can ring off before you have told him the gist of what you have to say." E.irtcrs eometifes publish items of news brought In by respected citizens just as written by the latter and without revision or touching up, owing to the lateness of the hour and the stress and rush of going to press in time to catch tnail trains. This is more likely to happen in the smaller newspaper offices where the staff is limited and too often overworked. But when In .their later leisure editors look over such Items, they are apt to regret keenly that they yielded to the temptation to take such hazardous risk. As a rule, however, their remorse is less frantic than that of Mark Twain on one occasion when he was country editor in the West. The difficulties connected -with church notices and the like are bu slight compared with those country editors are sometimes celled upon to grapple with, ea Mark Twain's example will show. In his "Editorial Wild Oats" be tells of an item of tews brought in by an steemed friend which he permitted to go In unexamined and which, under the heading cf "Distressing Accident," read as follows: "Last evening, about eix o'clock, as Mr. "William. Schuyler, an old and respectable citizen of South Park was leaving his residence to go down town, as has been his usual euntqm for many years with the exception of only a short, interval in the spring of 3 850 during which; he was confined to hia bed by injuries received in attempting to stop a runaway horse by thoughtlessly placing himself directly in It wake an ,hrowing up his hands and shouting, which, if he fcati done ho a finglo moment sooner, must inevitably have frightened the nlmai atiil more Instead of checking its speed, although disastrous enough to himself as !t was. and rendered more melancholy and distressing by reason of the presence of his wife's mother who was there and Faw the sad occurrence, notwithstanding it Is at least likely, though not necessarily so, that she should b reconnoitring in another direction when accidents occur, not being vivacious and on the lookout, as a general thing, but even the reverse as her own mother ia said to have stated, who Is no more, hut died In the full hope of a g-lortou resurrection, upward of three years ago, aged eighty-six, being a Christian woman and without guile, as it were, in consequence of the Are of 184, which det-troyed evt-ry single thing she had in th world. But suoh is life. Let us all thk-9 warning by this solemn occurrence, and let us so conduct ourselves that when we come to dio we can do it. Let us say with earnestness and sincerity that from this day forth we will beware of the Intoxicating bowl."
