 Colonel Watterson, in summing up his general view of the profession or journalism, said:
 The newspaper is not a omnoo1ty to .be sold over the counter like dry goods and groceries. It should be, as it were, a keeper of the public con science; it's rating professional, like the ministry and the law, not com mercial, like the department store and the buc<etshop.
 Its workers should be gentlemen, not eavesdroprers and scavengers de- veloring a sov system peculiarly their own, nor caring for the respect and esteem of the Vicinage."
