desire of making points all the time


desire Of making points all the time
and nothing but points.
And now, how can I more appropri-
ately commemorate the two thousandth
publication than by speaking Of the
newspaper press as an ally to the
pulpit, and mentioning some OF tho
trials of newspaper men.
The newspaper is the great educator
Of the nineteeth century. There Is no
force compared with it. 1t is book,
pulpit, platform, forum, all In one. And
there is not an interest-reiigious
literary, commercial, scientific, agri-
cultural or mechanical-that is not
within it's grasp. All our churches,
and schools, and colleges, and asylums,
and art galleries feel the quaking of
the printing press.
The institution of newspapers arose
in Italy In Venice the drst newspa-
per was published, and monthly, dur
ing the time Venice was warning
against SoIyman the Second in Dalma-
tia, it was printed for the purpose OF
giving military and commercial infor-
nation to the venetians. The first
newspaper published in England was
in 1855, and called the English Mercury.
Who can estimate the political, scien-
tons reused up in England for many
years past by the press?
The first attempt at this institution
in France was in 1851, by physician,
who published the news for the amuse-
ment and health Of his patients. The
French nation understood fully how to
appreciate this power. So early as in
1920 there were in Paris l6s journals
But In the United States the newspaper
has come to Unlimited sway. Though
In ITS there were but 81 in the whole
country, the number of published jour-
nails is now counted by thousands; and
to-t awe may as we'll acknowledge it
Is not-the religious and secular news
papers are the great educators of the
country.
But alasi through what struggle the
newspaper has come to its present de-
velopmsnt. Just a. soon rs it began to
demonstrate it, power, superstition
and tyranny shackled it. There 10
nothing that despotism SO much fears
and hates as the printing press. A
great writer in the south of Europe de-
clarsd that the king Of Naples had
made 1t unsafe for HIM to write on any
subject save natural history. Austria
could not bear Kossuth's journalistic
pen pleading for the redemption of
Hungary. Napoleon l., wanting to
keep his iron heel on the neck of ma
tons, said that the newspaper was the
regent of kings, and the only safe place
to keep an editor was in prison.
But the great battle for the free
dom of the press was fought in
the court rooms of England and
the United States before this century
heOan wheu Hamilton made his great
speech IN behalf of the freedom of ].
Peter Zenger's Gazette in America, and
when Erskine made his great speech in
behalf of the freedom to publish Paine's
Rights of Man In England. Those
were the Marathon and the Thermopy-
lac, where the battle was fought which
decided the freedom Of the press in
England and America, and all the pow
ers OF earth and hell will never again
be able to put upon the printing press
the handouts and the hopples of lit
erary and political despotism. 1t is
remarkable that Thomas jefferson,
