THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD
II Has the Confidence and Respect Of
the People.

The Philadelphia Record. which re-
Gently observed its twenty-sixth anni-
versary as the pioneer one cent news
paper OF America. claims the largest
circulation of any paper published in
Pennsylvania. and it's claim is without
doubt a just one. The secret OF this
is not hard to find. Throughout it's
entire career The Record has combined
a certain spirit of conservatism with a
progressive policy. and the result has
been a newspaper that inspires and
holds the confidence Of its readers.
There is a vast deal OF difference be-
tween conservatism and oldfogyism.
The Record is always keen, alert and
lup-to-date, and never allows itself to
become hysterical. The metropolitan
journals Of today may be enterprising
to the point of sensationalism, and In
the existing spirit OF rivalry may often
loverstep the bounds of dccorum and
good taste; but in this respect The
Philadelphia Record is not a sinner. IL
is always sane. always temperate. all
ways satisfying Without half the fuss
and feathers of some OF It's contempo-
raries, 1t is not TO be gainsaid.
II is this authoritative confidence Ia
itself that has wrought confidence In
the general public and has been in
strumcntal i'm establishing it's pres
tige. Let us see what The Record
says about IL" is remark of frequent
occurrence; and what The Record says
Is usually regarded as final and incon-
trovertible. The newspaper Is still
largely moulder OF public opinion, In
spite OF the theorists. and while the
confidence OF the public may be shaken
In some phases of modern journalism,
that class OF which The Philadelphia
Record is hne type still survives, and
win continue 10 survive for good We
least OF all The Record. A long and
prosperous life to Pennsylvanlas lead
