I ,, "*'TM K NEWSPAPER (>AMK?AND 1 OTH ERS." 11 Under the above caption The Rock 11:11 Herald of Tuesday last publish <ni a leading editorial which so ex-jj setly describes the difficulties as well ? i! us the rewards of newspaper work 'that we quote it here in its entirety: "Luther Ellison, former secretary , of the Lancaster Chamber of Com- , nierce, who has been editor of the , ^Lancaster News for several months, ftast. announces his acceptance of a I position as commercial secretary in a western city and with the last week's issue of the News severs his! connection with that paper. It is mfjjhty hard for a man who has been .tnaking easy money in softie lucra-;. vyfve line of business to stick to the . newspaper game for any length of ( txlrne. The work is too hard and the 1 profits too small to satisfy the man -who has been accustomed to doing .something else. As a commercially *i?c\cretnry Luther Ellison can probibly make five times the money it was possible to make in the new-spa- ' jper business in Lancaster and do it with half the efTort required to con- ' Muct the News. Vet, the town of Lancaster wants I a newspaper?wants it enough to unJ dertake to half way support two- and In order to have a newspaper | ? which will be a credit to the town ( someone with at least as much abil- i ity as Luther Ellison must take hold l the Job of running it. This per- r TE son. whoever he may be in* the fu jr lure, could probably make more I money with consul ably less effort jl, and far less unpleasantness in an> ! >ne of a hundred other lines of business. However, as some one will!t Ltiobably submit, Oils is a free coup I try and nobody is forced into the newspaper business: those who don't like it can engage in another line of business. All true, of course: ana r ihe result is that only men who love!? newspaper work a:e found in the ranks of newspaper workers. They, [ire doing their work for love of it.' ;\nd for the sake of the service they t can render their communities and t count'y, it: nine oases in ten. Newspap r men of experience have learned not to expect appreciation of their efforts or to care for appreciation. ! The newspaper worker worth while i is the man who goes right along, dts- i charging his duty to community and country, as well as to individuals, letting the results take care of them-| selves, and fully realizing that there it is no monetary reward commensu- 1 rate with his risks and efforts at- 1 tached to his business. i The real uewspaper man will play the game to a finish, even if he realizes from the beginning that he is playing a losing game. Men in other I walks of life who take a "flyer" intojl journalism, usually do not last long. ' They return to other fields, where the labor is lighter and the rewards are larger and more certain. joiix <;i:ni:il\l >r<; i;. The story of ttie Third Lancaster County Fair, without due acknowledgement of the splendid leadership of its general manager, Mr. Aohn M.i Madra. would be like the play of Ilamiet with llamlet left out. His tireless energy, his enthusiasm, his optimism and his faith in us helped us to accomplish pood results for Lancaster county and it is no disparagement to the other officers ot the Fair Association or to tlie faithful committeemen to say that Mj Madra is due the lion's share of the credit. In every such undertaking a man of\pluck ami persev.-ranee is needed I > tak?> the load, a in :n >vhoj rises superior to to the dillicuities that constantly beset the pathway 01 ( the promoter. In the present ease there were many hard problems to be solved but having undertaken tintask. Mr. Madra devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. He smiled in, the face of discouragement. He ( planned wisely and executed wisely. As general manager he took it upon , | 1 himself to see to it personally that) no details were omitted and he has , been here. there and everywhere helping along the loyal men and women who were associated with ( him in the work. Everybody already knew John Madra for a good fellow but nobody knew until recently that he was an orator. Enthusiasm for the fair moved him to fluent speech and his rounded periods in praise of; the fair week attractions stirred his hearers wherever he spoke on the subject. Mr. Madra believes in the fair. He believes in us. He believes in our ability to do things. And Unpeople of the town and county are deeply grateful to him for what he has brought to pass. + AX ACCOMPLISHED WOMAN. The metropolitan journals ring with praise of Miss Jeannette lpmkin, recently elected to congress ; from Montana and we have read much of her political triumphs and | like attainments but the Newberry Observer views the matter in a different light, believing that some one le?s gifted as a lawmaker could have , filled the position to which she has attained while any woman with the | ?ifl of making good lemon pies can \ III be spared from the domestic realm The Observer's elever nnm ment follows: A sketch of Miss Jeannette Kan-, kin. congresswoman elect from Montana, describes her as a "good housekeeper." Her neighbors say she can cook and sew and make her own clothes ani hats, and do many other things that an accomplished woman should be able to do. She la famous for her lemon pies. If that is true.' ihe is wasting time going to congress ?not from her own standpoint, but From the standpoint of the great pub-j lie. There are so many people who can go to congress and sit there and rote and draw the salary that It is aj pity to take an accomplished and useful woman out of her sphere just 'or that. There is the consolation, though, that her congressional duties will take up only a part of her time. Hut no woman who can make good lemon pies ought ever to go to congress, sr do anything else but make pies. 1 + The brewing company at Hagers:own, Md., has engaged the services , 5f an engineer to convert its $150,- ; )00 brewery, which will be hit hard >y the county going dry, into a flour \ nill. - | [E LANCASTER NEWS FR 33 {From Other Papers HI | Whore Is It?
