THE PAPER OF THE PEOPLE,
FOR THE PEOPLE and
WITH THE PEOPLE
HONEST IN MOTIVE
FEARLESS IN EXPRESSION
SOUND IN PRINCIPLE

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money judiciously and
literally is better able to impart his
knowledge than the man who has lit
tie or nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type of a
newspaper.
The Suns reports from all parts of
the United States are unsurpassed.
The Suns Cable Service is the finest
known; the troubles in the Philippines
and in South Africa demand compe-
tent correspondents and vast expend-
iture of money and labor i'll getting
the news. Whe you get The Sun you
get news and intelligent presentation
of facts with it, as we'll as carefully
prepared articles of editorial writer's of
highest standing. When you read a
daily paper, whose principal recon-
mendatiOn is its cheapnsss, you get
the dregs- generally very poor dregs
| at that.
