The Say of Reform Editors
THE Reform editor is a political waif on the tempestuous sea of strife.
It would have been money in his pocket if he had never been born.
He has a devil part of the time, and a devil of a time all the time.
The smallest thing about him is his pocketbook and the largest his delinquent list.
He says more kind things of other people and gets more “cussings” than any other man living.
When he first takes the job of reforming the world he thinks it can be finished in six months or a year.
Then he puts it off another year and borrows some money of his father-in-law.
Then he enlists for three years or more during the war and borrows some more money.
At this stage of the game he takes a new grip on the situation and starts in to finish up the job in the next campaign.
