One of the most embarrassing
things a country editor has to
contend with is the disposition
of people to wait until the last
moment of going to press and
then rush in with their items
which they “want in this week
sure.’’ JThis is particularly the
case with those who wish to
rn’ikk announcements which they
expect to have inserted gratis.
People do not reflect upon the
fact the the iwper is made up
during the whole week and that
its capacity is limited to just so
much and the matter gauged
accordingly. If the editor should
await the convenience of those
w ho have something they want
published he would not get his
paper out until the next week
and then he would have to delay
two or three days until some
kind friend had made up his
mind about a notice he wants in
but which he hasn’t been able to
prepare just to suit him. A
