wileS."
The editor grows with a growing
world and the press leads the word
advance, the press heralds the worlds
thought and the cumulative influence
is hard to overestimate. The grea'
d tor is the great man Of the worlds
future. If be but knew his tools, il
he but comprehended his power, if be
but magnify his calling, If be sha!
always tell the truth and if, while he
looks with shining eyes upon magnif.
cent opportunity he be sobeIed always
with solemn sense Of his splendid
vast responsibility.
Thus reasoning the distinguished
editor and speaker argued that behind
all theory, back Of all ideals and be
yond all editorial pages stands the
man.
The great editor will reach his full
statue and Influence when he lays
down forever the habit and the hope
of h liing ttlice. The press shall be
faithful without bring fierce, loyal
without lying, true to its friends, just
to its enemies and as splendidly fail
as it shall be splendidly free.
The brief synopsis but imperfectly
and fragmentarily outlines one OF the
best and most eloquent addresses ever
made before this association and is a
rare and splendid tribute to ideals
that have teen lived up to by some
South Carolina journals. The address
was listened to most attentively and
was most enthusiastically received.
The gathering now looks like large
family affair and all seem to be ENJOY
ing themselves.
