Journalistic Independence.

There are times in the history of
every newspaper when in order to
maintain its character it must refuse
to go with the crowd, and when that
time comes it's subsc ription list will
drop off little for the timebeing.
But when newspaper has founded
itself upon the eternal principles, it
is not only good morals. but good
business for it to walk in its integ-
rity. Such paper. once well es-
tablished, is simply invincible. Its
readers may not agree with II al
ways, but they respect it and honor
it whether or not. and they will con
tinue TO patronize it. 1t will be a
sad day tor this country when the
case is otherwise, when a newspaper
must sacrifice it's principles and
character in order to succeed in busi.
