In assuming charge of the mansge- >a» m ot The Press and Standard, we are not bumin'lfnl of the responsibiiity of the position. „ We know the editor of an/ paper occupies a relationship to his readers not unlike that of a teacher to bis papil or of a pastor to his dock. It is his duty to glean the fields of activity for a sheaf to offer the toiler; the fields of sorrow for a solace to the bereaved, of gayety for the music of laugliter; of youth for hope and inspira lion; of age for solace aud comfort; of homanity for humanity. An editor must be versatile, syrapa the tic. optimistic. He mast be capable .of inspiriug confidence so that he !*nay gather the happenings of his communi ty; he most possess the power of dis crimination that he may rt-move and v present to his renders the wheat and not the chuff. In fac*, he should be all these things and more—which we know wears not. But we believeonr readers are charitnble and forgiving. We be hove that most of them will forgive their erring brother 'till seventy times •even. , fio it is with many misgivings that we make cun bow to the indulgent public in the capacity of editor of The Press and Standaid. We are going to do onr bent to make your old friend conform to that motto so long coupled with the name: “Here will The Press and Standard the oeopie’s rights maintain, Unawed by influence and unbribed by Ruin.” We desire to express our grateful feelings to our predecessor for the kind and indulgent manner in which he launched forth onr new enterprise. We hoi<e we shall be able to cmulaic bis ex ample in fci&nmug tor tlitue lh.cg> Which ore pure and good; in striving for the bettering and nniifting of onr # citizenship in ail that pertains to mak ing better men aud women. A newspaper to be read and appre ciated most be filled with what will be of interest to those who read. In onr field oi journalism this mu* be ob tained from faithfn! correspondents in ©very section. The Press and Standard bas thoa>. and to them we extend a cor-- dial invitation to oome often with your messages of interest. Let ns know what your people are doing. Here is our fireside. J^et ns draw near and chat with each other as is the privilege of the family who congregates when the day’s work is done. Tie old friends will be glad to welcome new, so if you have not done so write something for your county paper.

Bacon : “Onr souls require at time* a free un sheathing. Ail swords will mst if seaboard kept too long. And I am tired—k> fired of rigid duty, rlo tired of nil my tired hands find u» do. 1 yearn, I pant, for some of life's free beauty, Its looser beads with no straight string run through." In this busv world we sometimes find r man with time to give one a hand-shake and Rft. It is needless to «ny all thfi> kind -things said to aud about our new duties by onr friends • This was cheering: *‘Mv dear Mr Snu^ak, “In hjokiug over The Press and Standard just now 1 came across Sen ator Penrifoy’s announcement that you arc taking charge of tb«* paper.
