"What should and should not

answered by saying:
'sPrint all the news fit to be
printed; print the truth, without
fear, favor or affection; print pure,
clear and wholesome matter; print
fresh ideas, progressive thoughts
and reliable information; print the
opinion of the editor, fearlessly
expressed.
'sPrint nothing false, loud or
immodest; print nothing mean,
low or slanderous; print nothing
vile, malicious or blasphemous;
print nothing for which you are
not willing to become responsible;
printnothing personally offensive,
as paid matter or otherwise; print
nothing that you would be asham-
ed to read at your own fireside. ]"
