Fearless and Independent.

The Chicago Record Herald is a con.
spicuous example of the success with
which the public rewards fearless non.
craftsmanship in the columns Of q great
metropolitan daily paper. 1t is an in
dependent newspaper in which men and
measures are invariably viewed wholly
from the standpoint of the public good
and not from that of the interests of
any particular political party. Tits the
very reverse of neutral-fearless and
outspoken on all great questions of the
day, but presenting its editorial opin.
ion upon independent judgment and
entirely regardless of political affilia-
tons. Partisanship IS barred as strict
iy from the news columns as from the
editorial page. All political news is
gwen without partisan coloring, thus
enabling the reader to form correct con
illusions for himself. In the ordinary
partisan newspaper political news is
usually colortd to such an extent as tO
make it difficult If not impossible fol
the reader to secure sound basis for
intelligent judgment.
