been to advance the interests of the people OF
whose life it is the daily chronicle. Its fortunes
have been their fortunes; 1t has shared their
prosperity and suffered in their disasters. Its
inspiration has been the desire to forward the
best interests of the community IN winch II ls
located and its own prosperity ls as 1t has been
purposey made, inseparsble from that OF the
community it aims to represent. When tney
grow rich it hopes for reward commensurate
with its labors While they are poor 1t expects
to work with them and for them, expecting to
make their success the measure of Its own.

perience of journalism. Every year NEW
