Show EDITOR WAS NEARLY ROBBED "We" Thinks Alleged Thief Is All-Fired All-Fired Mean to Attempt to Separate Sepa-rate Him From Money. West Grove, Pa In an explosive column of righteous indignation Editor Edi-tor Hltchler of the Oxford News denounces de-nounces a prominent Lancaster county coun-ty woman, who he alleges sought to ' rob him of his board money, hidden in a pigeonhole of his desk at the News office. The editor is a bachelor and from time to time hides away a trifle of his weekly stipend to pay his hotel bill. Some of his barbed-wire sentiments relative to the incident are: Now to steal at all It a crime, hut to steal from an editor is the height of human dppeneracy. To hold up a banker or plumber or some other form of plutocrat is excusable under certain circumstances. The person who will deliberately attempt to separate an editor from real money Is a brute, with a soul no larger than could be Incased in tho appendix of an especially diminutive mosquito. A little lying and slandering we can ! stand, but even If the smallest sum of money is stolen from us we are broke. |
