proper subjects of criticism, like gas

own profession as about any other.
The truth remains that the American
newspapers to-day have more power
and use for better ends than at any
previous time. The permanence and
reality of this gain depend on US. The
newspapers influence us, and we also
influence them. They are the very
air which every day we take into our
systems, but also they are product
of ourselves. They will grow better
IL we grow better. Money will tempt

AT present the wave of exposure
seems to accompany genuine moral
uplift. If it Is real, IL the whole tone
OF our society is being raised, then
this belief In better newspapers will
be justified. If there is no genuine i'm

break of exposure is only an epidemic,
then. of course, this apparent step for
