DREAM OF MUNICIPAL
PRESS is FAR OFF

MADISON, Wis, July 30.--In an ad-
dress upon The Press an! the PEG.
pie" at the opening session OF the
FIRST national newspaper conference,
President George e vincent, of the
University OF Wisconsin, predicted
that, despite discussion OF endowed,
municipal and public newspapers, the
press would remain privately-owned
public function for another generation
or two at least.
Taking up the question of the influ'
ence of interests" upon the press
President Vincent said
IT is doubtless true that the press
too often yields 10 economic and so
cal pressure; but in this, il is not
unique. IL shares the responsibility
with politics. with business, at times
with education and even with religion
Newspaper men have as keen sense
OF social responsibility as the mem
bers of other professions. | believe
that the rank and file OF the press
writer's of the country are in hearty
sympathy with the changes which
promise larger justice and fairer con
ditions Of life. Any pressure exerted
on the press Is transmitted to these
men from the managers who employ
them"

Dear Sir: ON Friday last there Were
arrested several aldermen, notably John

TO innocent men The protection OF the
upright is Just as Important as the
punishment OF the guilty,
1t strikes me forciblv that the reg
