'EDITORS MAKE GOOD HUSDANDS,' SAY WIVES
Newspaperman Is Excellent Spouse According to Women Who Know
FOUR WIVES INTERVIEWED
One Journalist Cares For Chil dren or Has Secretary Do It
Are editors really human? Do they care as much for their families as they do for their papers? Are they convenient things to have around outside the office? In short, do editors make good husbands?
"Of course, I'll say they do!" explained one. "I can tell you definitely about only one, however. He's the one that will come home and take care of the children when I have to be away, or send someone instead. He's not sure I can't tell him about the others. But I can't judge that it depends on, the man, regardless of his profession. Any good man will put his bicef first."
Four women were asked the last question. They were all wives of news paperman who at one time had been active in the profession and are now engaged in teaching it, or had taught it in the past and had later joined the "game" again. All answered in the affirmative. All agreed that there were exceptions. All confessed that they were undoubtedly predeceiued.
The human interest phase, the first speaker declared, is a strong factor in the make-up of a newspaper man.
"Because he is always on the lookout for human interest material outside his home, he is more likely to appreciate it in his home," she said. "The prestige that a newspaper man has, especially that of an editor in a small town, has a desirable reaction toward his wife. Together with the wives of the minister and doctor, she stands first in the community. More than any other woman in a small town is necessarily in the limelight. He has got to be straight to be successful. Of course, editors make the best husbands on earth."
“An editor as a husband?” asked the second. “They don't make them better.”
"In earlier days I made the fires and breakfasts in the morning," she said. "Now that work arranges itself more suitably, he pays me back. This is only one example of the cooperation that you will be likely to find between the newspaper man and his wife," she continued. "No other profession outside the doctor's has a spirit of co-operation so marked."
The third woman was asked if she couldn't say something for the negative.
"Why, yes," she agreed affably, "could, if but I did I should be saying a fib." Her experiences, she says, are that newspaper men are the greatest "homebodies" of all—as often as they get the chance.
"I knew one man that worked on a morning paper, and consequently didn't get away from his work until one or two o'clock in the morning," she said. "He always made it a point to finish out the night playing cards. He kept going back and forth that he could get news tips. But in my observation he is the exertion."
"Editors are tempermental," she said, "conducted, but they are the men with the vision. They are not the kind that leave their homes in search of 'thrills'—they find to many in their world." The girls play the game stays with the woman too.
She had one fault to find with the newspaperman—he is too engrossed in his business. "It is on his mind always," she said.
The fourth spoke her sentiments briefly.
"In my limited experience, yes; editors do make good husbands," she said. "Yes, with no modifications."
WHICH DO YOU THINK BEST
Stored Away At Home; or Glass Encased For Inspection
The department of journalism has the making of an interesting museum. If one will go to the display room on the second floor of the Journalism Building he will find it full of glass cases and frames that contain many old and rare newspapers. These prove valuable materials for students, but to visitors of the school.
These papers have been contributed to the department by different people throughout the state. One of the oldest copies that the department has received is that of the Pennsylvania Gazette dated March 18, 1756.
According to those in touch with the situation, there are many interesting copies of old newspapers lying in secluded parts of artices throughout the state, which would most certainly be of greater use and prove more interesting cased up and on display in the journalism museum.
The Kansas Editor Wanted An Increase In His Circulation, But He Couldn't Use The Comics
Once there was an ambitious Newspaper Editor and All-Around Journalist who lived in the most beautiful town of Kansas. The name of this town was Emporia and this Edilson's all and all and depended upon his journalistic mark to be made in this little village of wonderful Pulchitude.
He believed it was his Duty to demonstrate that the Pen was wighter than the Comic Supplement.
He read Articles and History on her Horace Greeday and the Bennet sisters in the book Sparkling and versatile Editorialists. He knew that if he buckled down and put in Extra Time on the Editorial page of the Gazette, that some day would find him occupying a place in Emporia similar to the throne that Precedents climbed upon in New York.
The Ambitions Editor wanted to increase the circulation of the Gazette. He naturally supposed that the only way to make the ripple was to display his inherent ability to wield a wicked pen on his Editorial Page—just as Greeley did a few years earlier. The Hours were long, the Sons were short, and the work confining, but he was sure that he would arrive in time.
He plugged on for many Moons, keeping his Eye on the Circulation Figures, for, surely such Editorial Wit would perform the Addition. Many Moons changed and died, but still the Circulation didn't Multiply. He in the Editor hired a Young Colleague to bolster up the weakening Circulation.
"Ah," says the neophyte Editor, "all you need for the Gazette is a few Comic Strips."
"For shame, young man, where did
you get such foolish young ideas', says Ye Ed. "So that is what they teach at K, U. But never will I have such Low Brow features in my Gazette. They are degrading, demoralizing—why they are a bloom upon the Dignity of the Profession. I can only see myself gaining Circulation with the Pen," vows the Editor with vehemence.
That Very Day the Main Gazookas of the Emporia News urever was crowded across the Sea by Henry to get his head around the meandering of "Henry and Me."
"I shall expect you to keep up the忆 of the Editorial Page in the Mage Absence," advised the Editor in Decay. "In the dim Glimmers on the Circulation, too."
"Now, I'll make Empriora take the Gazette," declares the Neophyte Editor from K. U., "but not by Dry Editorials."
Then he showed his aptitude for Journalistic Success by installing a full-pure Comic of varigated Hues. The Dignity page was liberally subordinated. The Circulation figure grew by 21 and the Dignity Digits. The Gaetano was glad, but the Anubis was glad, for to outdo the Ambitious Editor was a Mean Job.
But one day Ambitious Editor returned with a Certain Rich Man to his string of Victories. But what a reception, Imagine his Chagrin at picking up his Life Work, the Gazette, and finding a whole page be wafted with intensely-Coastal imagery with war in mind. He rushed to Office and freed Nephey and his modern Ideas. In a few days the Circulation was back to normal.

Campus Canines Not For Editor's Red Tape
Van, the animal man, was besieged this morning by a deluge of dogs. There were white dogs, brown dogs, brown dogs, black dogs, and spotted dogs, little dogs and big dogs, nice dogs and naughty dogs, dogs of all colors and previous conditions of ownership.
Van could give no explanation of the sudden canine infurt, but interviews with the dogs reveal the fact that their appeal for the comparative safety of Van's cannionium springs from their wholesome respect for the visiting editors and the power of the press.
"There is hardly a town in the state where the editor has not at some time taken up his pen against us," said a reporter when he learned of the warning. "The result has been that."
