"*'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.

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

All Honor to the Farmer.
It takes brains to farm! Our re- 1

ful farmer is growing greater and'f
greater every day. We have come to 4
Ihe conclusion that it requires the ^
linest talents, those enabling a man.

relation of things that ar.? funda- *1
mental, to bo a farmer. He is deal- 4?
ing with the problems of nature in 4
nature's labratory, the fields and the ^
forests, and he learns unconsciously 1
truths that contribute wisdom and ;
understanding as his possessions.
In the past we have looked upon 4j
farming as an incidental occupation 4i
and the yield of the fields as a mat- 4
ter of course. All this is changed ^
