Jefferson said:
THE basis of our government being

first object should be to keep that
right; and were it left to me TO decide
whether we should have a government

Cardinal Gibbons has added his tes-
timony to that of those who affirm the
positive value of newspapers to the
community. He regards publicity as
the surest antidote for graft, and de-
clares:
THE dread of exposure in the public
press keeps many a man sticking close
to the path of rectitude who otherwise
would stray off into byways of graft.

the corruption which has always exist
