The people look to the journalist,
whom they respect, and in whom they
have confidence, for guidance and in
struction on all public questions. They
expect not only the freshet and best
news of the day, but liberal and in
telligent discussion Of all matters of
general interest--the best thought OF
the age.
1t is tho true mission Of the journalist,
IS see and understand it, to present
his readers an interesting and thought
full paper-progressive, but not too sem
sational; bright, but always reliable,
enterprising, but strictly truthful; read
able, but ever dignifed; newsy, but en-
tirely clean.
This leads TO the remark that the
reckless journalist, the editor who
asserts. but proves nothing; who prints
all obtainable news, without stopping
to ascertain its correctness; the dealer
in billingsgate, in lieu of argument;
who resorts to personal abuse in place
OF facts; the deceitful toady and disgust
ing sycophant the arch-demagogue,
can have no influence in any community.
lie may delight few shallow-pated
fools, but will disgust sensible. decent
people. "There are no privileges Of
the press that are not privileges of the
people," Any citizen has the right to
tell the truth and no journalist can
claim more.

honest, manly, clean, high-minded
