Come.
All self supporting, self respect
ing, and law abiding people look
to the honest, vigilant newspaper
as the one agency which never lays
downs. which is always on guard J,
always ready for the fray They
turn to it instinctively when their
rights are assailed. They know
that it is always interested. 1t
cannot always win, but while such
8 newspaper exists there can be no
final surrender to wrong. An hon-
est newspaper disseminates infor-
nation and keeps its readers in
touch with the development of
public questions. 1T must do even
more. It must create public sem
ltiment, organize movements, devise
ways and means and conduct cam
lpaigns for each good cause. II must
be willing to stand alone when
once convinced its course is right.
1t must have convictions on all
public questions, and maintain
them in the face of nisrepresen.
tation. It must prize character
and consistency above popularity.
