IHE ENDlANAPOLS JOURNAL


THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is REQ
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
mainta this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never so we'll equipped
to serve the public. Our arrangements for
the collection of the news of the day are moro
complete than ever, and we have added some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity Of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indi-
ana that prints regularly the full reports OF
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering thF'
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of the
State and of the county at large. We have n
special resident representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular at
tention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias, impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Repub-
lican paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in spirit
and with purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in its editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his
respect if they do not meet his approval. 1t
may also be said that THE JOURNAL is pub
lished as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t rec
ognizes that the women and the children ara
to be instructed and entertained. They wlE
always find in its columns matter specially
prepared for them, while the paper will be so
conducted as to prove welcome visitor in the
household. The news will be presented in
such shape as to minimize the evil, and its
editorial and local columns will be kept free
from moral taint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accu-
rate printed by any newspaper in the country.
