vast number Of newspapers consti-
tuting the press of this country the
controlling or dominating minds are
limited in number. There are in the
press. as in the less mystic walks Of
life, certain element that is "recep-
tive"-that follows newspaper lead
ers; there Is another element that is
constitutionally antagonistic-a psy-
Geological provision, perhaps, against
a combine Of the press for the sell
fish control Of the universe.
Each unit in the great body of the
press Is engaged in the dissemination
OF Information to its patrons. But
there is much news having siEnifi-
cance whose significance is not patent
to the hurried reader. There is a
multitude Of illiterates in this coun-
try but there is a greater number that
read without digesting that which
they read. These constitute the large
army Of literate non-thinkers, nom
thinkers until digested thought, easy
of assimilation is presented to them.
1t is just here that the power of the
press as an influence in stimulating
popular thought is exercised; it is
here that men with trained minds,
specialists one may say in the arts Of
diagnosis, analysis, logical presenta-
ton, and effective appeal, exert power
through the press in forming public
sentiment.
The same human nature noticed in
the army Of newspaper editors is
found In the run of the general pub
lic there is the spirit that accepts a
certain view as presented, and the
spirit that is aroused to opposition by
the presentation. 1t is thus that the
introduction of any yitalized subject
results in alinements of opposing
views. which occasions discussion and
creates popular interest. With inter-
est active and public questions de-
bated in public there is no danger of
long continued misgovernment or of
serious encroachments upon the lib
erty Of the people. The bulwarks of
corruption and the strength of mis-
government lie in popular ignorance
and popular apathy; the press is re-
garded by the enlightened as the
guardian Of the. peoples liberties, be-
cause it turns on the light and arouses
the people to protect their rights. 1t
is the insvuctor in the worlds cur
rent history. Its individual members
are not infallible. but, as Jefferson
held, error OF opinion may be tolerat-
ed where reason is left zee to COM
bat it. But the great bodyeof the press,
pushing under the dominating in
fiuence Of the spirit of law, liberty
and justice. is always for the right
and is a powerful agency for right
eousness, factor Of immeasurable
force in Christian civilization.

people from one section to another,

Of both thought and matter, without
which the people and country must
decline rather than advance.
1 can but compare our great coun-
try, with its numerous lines of rail-
roads hurrying it's people north and
south, east and west, and inter-
changing its vast qualities of field pro-
ducts from one state to another, and
hurrying its manufactured products
from the East to be distributed
throughout the whole country, all
making the country great, COM
mercially and agriculturally, to the
human body, whose veins carry the
blood in one direction, while the ar
teries convey it to another, and with
out either or both Of which, the parts
of the body neglected must soon per-
ish and decay.
Can you conceive of anyone, with
the least power to reason, being will
Ing, for one second, to interfere with
the absolutely unimpeded flow of the
blood that Is so necessary to his ex-
istence? Is 1t not equally strange
that country should interfere, by
legislative acts, or. for that matter,
In any other way, with the great ar
teries of civilization, commerce and
trade. our railroads, in the conduct
Of their business.
The same amount of effort devoted
to aiding the railroads in the legiti-
mate conduct Of their business, that
is devoted to attempts to regulate,
would free them of untold difficulties
and enormous expenses that are to-
day going into the cost Of transpor-
tation and adding to the rates the
public are having to pay.
!. I know of no class of our coun-
trymen who are in better position
to broadcast public opinion for or
against any proposition than our T..
p. A. friends. nor do 1 know of any
class of our citizens more deeply in
terested in, the great question of "the

then lend your most valuable assis-

The attempt to throw the dust OF
legal te~chnicalitfes in the eyes of the
people on the bank guaranty plan
is a failure. The one illustration OF
Mr.. Bryan makes it SO plain that the
simplest man may understand. The
national government demands securi-
ty for its deposits; the state requires
security for deposits; the county will
not deposit money in a bank without
special security; it is h same with
the city, the township and the school
district in regard to public funds.
The bank also demands both security
and interest on loans to individuals.
Then why should the individual de-
positor lend his money to the bank
without eve a guaranty of it's re
payment without interest?
