In political sense, the COMMERCIAL IS
thoroughly independent. 1t recognizes no
obligations to party organizations. Its SIM

stood, and so largely appreciated that its
subscribers and habitual pun chasers in Ell
Their political party outnumber those Of the
party organs, and its aggregate circulation
is greater than that Of its competitors COM
b;ned.

field of independent journalism meaning

base of operations If we enter a party

our every day work and missions are to re-
duce the percentage Of stealing in the trans
action OF the public business; and as often

We Will be on the other side. We do not
mean by stealing only pocko;-picking and

the bold appropriations by burglars bat all
the processes By which persons who do not
earn money come into the possession Of il,
