THE PUBLIC

To those who are familiar with tn,
various newspapers over the country
1t is interesting to note the gradual
elimination of the personal organ az
the press assumes its proper niche as
a public servant. Each year more
newspapers join the ranks of those of
high ideals and the realization of the
people that a newspapers influence
should not be bought or toyed with
makes the mercenary publisher and
inconsequential editor realize his
day is past. There still continues to be
a few strugglers in the latter class
Just as there continues to be a few
reactionaries in every progressive
community. A newspaper Is a dieni-
fled proposition, and because of the
great power for good it is capable Of.
its policy should be nurtured and care
fully planned. To a certain extent
public morals are dependent upon the
newspaper and its aid in every move
for social uplift cannot be ignored.
The newspaper must answer to the
public for its moral Shortcomings and
duplieity and as the court Of final
judgment the public is an intelligent
and just judge. Like its editor, the
newspaper is human. and nlakes mis-.
takes. but as long as it IL honest
these are eharitably received. The
right kind Of an editor, the man who
fully realizes his responsibilities, as
ume his duties as a public trust and
never fails to consider it as such.
