Professor FL. w. jerks of Cornell
university is of opinion that it would
be tremendous service to ''the public"
for some great rich man to endow a
newspaper. He should set aside for it
so much money that it would live, if
living it could be called, whether any
body subscribed for Q or read it or not.
Its management should be in the hands
of trustees of integrity" who would
run it in the interest of all the pure,
elevated and unselfish sentiments of the
day. 1T would be expected to give
carefully written. moderate opinions on
both sides The professor thinks such
an endowed newspaper might have a
stronger tendency toward elevating the
political tone than dozen new univer-
sites
Yes, yes Very fine this. But if such
paper were endowed and started in
three months time it would be as stupid
through and through as an essay by a
college professor. 1t would be deader
than the Dead sea. Nobody would read
it any more than he now reads The
Congressional Record or a patent office
publication. Does not the professor
know that a state church is the most
stupid and nearest lifeless of any?
A paper that cannot support itself
and make a good living for its editor
and the other people who work on it
has no reason for being Moreover,
there are today a number of privately
owned newspapers that do almost ex-
actly what the professor suggests in the
way of being perfectly truthful and re-
liable as to news and likewise in giving
moderately expressed views on both
sides of question. Moreover, some of
these papers are among the richest and
most widely read journals in America.
Go to with your foolery about an en-
lowed newspaper
