The Press AS AN EDUCATOR Senator
Mathew w. Ransom, in his address at Da-
wilson College, North Carolina, gloriied tho
Yastness and possibilities Of the republic and
incidentally said there was ono school even
moro powerful than the regular educational
and that was the newspaper.
Although editors," he said might differ in
the expression of opini.n, discussion would
only serve in the end to bring ont the
truth iD one harmonious whole as tho pris.
matte colors of tho rainbow are transformed
into the beautiful arch which sometimes
spans the heavens The safety of the liber-
ties of the people was in tho keeping of
free. fearless. independent, but not liocptious
press. General Lee at ono time contemplated
the establishment Of chair of journalism, at
the Washington University Of Yirginia, and
the very suggestion was monument to his
genius. Finally, the restoration ard n9ur-
ishment of this fair Southland could only be
performed through the mcdiua, of the press"
