Power OF the Press.

Congressman Victor Murdoch told
the Lawrence Gazette the other day
that the newspapers are ignorant OF
only one thing-they do not know
their own power. "The newspapers
make and unmake men every day."
he said. "but they have no concep-
ton OF the awful power they WELD. l
would rather have pack Of wolves
after me any time than one newspa-
per. When they go after a man they
get him, right or wrong. There is
not a man in public life to-day who
does not have mighty fear Of the
newspapers. To their credit their in
fluence is nearly always for good.
