The writer of the ame, a clerman, told how when he wa a new paper reporter, a great many new storie that ouyht to have been printed. were uppresed for the reason that they injured the interest of Kme adver tier. When he entered the miniiterial profevsion he wa able to denounce prevailing evil unhampered. Thi newspaper i not o ure that clergymen alway get a free hand, but it i of no u: for one profeion to cit slurs at another. It i a fact that there too little free speech all around, that most people are too ensi tive to criticism. It i one of the healthful thing about the newspaper profession that editors get ucd to the rough and tumble of life. If a brother journalist hits you a resounding editorial whack, you return it in kind if you feel like it. After a little you meet, you recognize that newspaper controversy is rather Pickwickian, and are good friends again. Politicians abuse each other with ftinging eloquence, then go out to lunch together. The ordinary man rarely acquires this imperviousness. If the parson utters sonic criticism about the evils of society, the parishoner is far too apt to My that the minister is an agitator and disturber, and should confine him self to preaching about Jeremiah and the Nicene creed. If the newspaper, in ti Li 0,er pUc resorts. all good faith, and as a public service, criticises a public officer, the latter country, where every- woman had her knitting, 'hiq rMurt of M-rin lull-nil IS HKINli I'KH'ARI I) ! iiitiodiue lfme the legi.la l .li'iMii.g t ih -rm r.,ii.m.,ii 1 . t 11 , 1 1 ..1 11 1 .
