4 NEWSPAPER. The newspaper is the chron-
icle ofthe civilization-the common reservoir into
which every stream pours its living waters, anu at
which every man may come to drink. 1t is the
newspaper that gives to liberty its practical life
its constant observation its perpetual vigilance, its
unrelaxing activity. The newspaper informs leg
islaton of public opinion, and it informs people of
the acts of legislation. And this is not all. The
newspaper teens with the most practical morality;
in its reports of crime and punishment you find a
daily warning against temptation; not case in
police court, not single Trial of a wretched
outcast, or trembling felon, that docs not preach
TO us the awful lesson, how imprudence leads to
error how error conducts TO guilt, how guilt reaps
its bitter fruit of anguish and degradation The
newspaper is the familiar bond that binds togeth-
er man and man-no matter what may be the dis
lance of climate or the difference of race. There
it is that we have learned how to sympatlise wi II
