THE WORLD

Since the change in ITS proprietorship

has become the brightest, sprightliest, most
scholarly and popular journal Of the metro
pills. ut is entertaining, interesting, bright,
decent, fair and truthful" IT does wrong
Willingly TO no man, no creed, nointerest and
no party 1t treats all subjects of Import
ance earnestly and with respect. 1t seeks to
make itself an agreeable companion as well
as faithful guide and teacher. The World
regards the recent victories OF the party with
which it by preference acts not as mere parti-
san tvumphs gained by partisan contriv-
ances, but as the unmistakable expression of
deep and genuine popular demand for new
methods in government, for thorough puri-
fcation of the public service and for a ratif-
cation of the aims OF our party organizations.
Wherever and whenever the Democratic
party proves itself itself loyal to this popular
demand THE WORLD will resolutely up
hold it; wherever and wheneverit falls short
OF or attempts to counteraCl this popular de-
mand THE WORLD will as resolutely OPP
pose and denounce it. In word THE
WORLD believes the Democratic party to
exist for the good of the public service. 1t
does not believe tho public service to exist
for the good of the Democratic party.
