tors to each succeeding congress, the
dawn Of the legislative millennium is
correspondingly nearer"
The great duty of the newspaper
man, he said. Is to work for more pos
sibilities. more nealth and more hap

TN the great conflicts of public
opinion :or better things said the
speaker, newspapers are "A power for

THE newspaper that panders to un-
wholesome public thought is a de-
serter in the face of high public duty
and the one that puts conscience above

nightly for larger blessings to civil-
zation both here and hereafter"
He denounced the policy OF news-
papers which blindly support the can

whether the candidates are worthy of
