There are always two sides to every question, and whichever side au editor fells on, the partisans of the other accuse him of being "bought." It is little wonder, therefore, that the editor is seldom a popular tuau : I never knew one who was, and I ucver knew occ who wa? not oiien accused unjustly.

I once visited a large city, the newspapers of which I had long admired almost with reverence, and 1 was turprised to hear a citizen say that what the city roilly needed was better papers; they weuld bring "eustsru capital."

I don't know what "snap ' means.but I koow this is the quality usually thought to be Jacking.
