II. h. Ha nu, of. the Manches
ter 1'reKK, Liht year before the
Upper Iowa Editorial AsHoc'wtion,
establiidud1 his reputation as a
humorist thus:
4 I am here to say that tin
man who own eighty acres of
Iowa land and who has1 brains
enough to till it, makes the lot
of country newspaper men look
like the hist sad remnant of-a
Dutch; hunch. Thei farmer has the
best of it all around. He is its
independent as1 the American Ex
press Company. He.doesn t have
to write a soulful obituary over
the remains of some peak-head
ed bloke who caved his wife's
ribs in with a grub stake and
kept on display an exhibit of
cut plug profanity that would
mako tho efforts of a steamboat
mate sound like a meeting of
the Epwvrth Leguae. He does'nt
have to go into raptures over
the, beauty of an op:.-faced
bride with a cast of counter anee
that would Mow out the gas.
and he can say what he dum
pleases alRHit a candidate for
(.Congress, something no news
paper man ever dared to do un
less he had just lost the post
office. -The- farmer isn't requir
ed to lie until bus back teeth
fall out, alHut the sterling man
hood of . a groom with ears like
a cauliflower plant, and the brain
ower of a shoat. He doea'nt
have to run a piano contest for
the most beautiful young lady
in the community, make evcry
Nxly sore alout the winner, and
then print a seventy-five cent
half tone of the beauty that
looks like a tintype of grandma
at the age of thirteen. There us

roundhouse he is liable to be re

cornstarch pud ling.
"In view of these facts, why
is the profession overcrowded!
There are several reasons. One
iss that man is a Vain bird and i
m-ver happier than when .he is
yapping in linotype, slugs. Manv
a man would, rather dispense
fourteen! columns of crooked rhe
toric and reformed! Kjelling once
a week and live on otisified liver
ami iced tea, than shave the
warts off r calf head and hold
a pail for a sucking1 calf, even
though be can fill up on green
corn and side pork until h
wheezes like an accordion with
thef asthma. There are others, in
cluding a fair sprinkling of iack-
leg lawyers and ham-strung
school, teachers, who have imbib
ed the notion that the editor's
life w softer than the head of a
two-ply sport. These ruh in
with a $90 outfit and a wind
pressure that would blister the
lining out of a steel ranire and
fill long fdt want with the
grace and alandon of a harc
lipjxxl hired girl at a beautv
show. Nothing ever drives these
startling out of the prof-ssion
except sudden death or the slier
itf Then there are thoso mis
guided ambitiou.4 politicians who
believe that the easiest way to
