EDITORS
["Editors, behind their officialism, are human just like other folks, for they think and they work, they laugh and they play, they marry—just as others do. The best of them are brimful of human nature, sympathetic and kindly, and full of the zest of life and its merry ways."—Round About.]
To look at, the ordinary editor is so like a human being that it takes an expert to tell the difference.
When quite young they make excellent pets, but for some strange reason people never confess that they have editors in the house.
Marriage is not uncommon among editors, and monogamy is the rule rather than the exception.
The chief hobby of an editor is the collection of stamped addressed envelopes, which are sent to him in large numbers. No one knows why he should want so many of these, but we believe he is under the impression that by collecting a million of them he will be able to get a child into some hospital.
Of course in these enlightened days it is illegal to shoot editors, while to destroy their young is tantamount to murder.
