Editorial Pages.
Mung our own invaluable edito-
rial page, it is doubtful if the space de-
voted to editorial thought is regularly
read in many of the great newspapers.
And, whether read or not, it is astonish-
ing how little weight the editorial page

nets newspaper in San Francisco
the candidacy of the man
who so elected mayor, yet he went
tly into oflice. Editors frown-
ed and turned their backs on him, but
the people smiled on him and voted for
him. Horace Greeley was the newspa
per candidate for the presidency. The
amt editors of the land shed gallons
of lnktrying toelect him, but it had
no more influence on public opinion than
if they had one and all taken a vaca
tlon to Europe during the campaign.
The day has gone by, if it ev " was,
when newspaper opinions led the bile.

But the editorial writersa are wrong. I
There never was but one reason why a-
writing was not read, and that was that ,

son who has properly lourned his trade
can discuss the dullest and driest topic
and make it attract the reader's notice.
To do this, however, requires world.

nature and tireless industry.
The real editorial writer is rare. Very
young men are apt to luck the knowl—
can and experience necessary. The old
man is apt to be so set in his ways and
fixed in his habits of thought—fixed
even in the topics he thinks about—that

He devised the plan for a paper our

he was really the founder of our postal
system. He founded the University at
Pennsylvania and tboAmcrican Philo

helped frame the Declaration of lude
pendcnce. After it had been adopted
and he had put his fair autograph to it,
among others, one of those who has
signed and felt a little skittish over its
result said to him, “We must all hang
together now, Mr. Franklin. " In one of
the neatest mots on record t sage re
plied: “Yes. We must all hang togcth
or now, or by my faith we shall all hang
apart. "
Only for Franklin's services in occur

might still have been a colony of Great
Britain But Franklin followed Paul' r
injunction and was all things to all

Bis electrical investigations obtained
for him the gold medal of tho royal

bright and cheerful heater, the Frank-

How many Americans would do that
now? And if American rm-n followor’
