For THE PUBLIC Coon.

One hears a good deal about
the power of the press, but the
fact is that no newspaper has
very much real power over men
or events in these days unless it
is known to be standing sanely
and steadfastly for the welfare
of the whole community and
nation. The day of party or
gans is past. Sensational papers
appealing to popular passions
cannot move thoughtful men
the men who make history. The
only kind of newspaper that
really has tremendous power in
these days is the independent,
reliable, disinterested journal of
wide circulation whose columns
are known to stand always for
the general good-for pnblic hon
esty and a square deal, whatever
happens. An excellent example
OF this sort of journalism is The
Chicago Record-Herald. 1t has
the enormous circulation that
deservediy goes with the print
ing of all the news, but its power
lies in its wise, conservative, in
dependent editorial policy, which
is shaped with one sole end in
view-the public good. It's news
and critical columns show the
same spirit.
