ming down to its present colossal mag

and achievement during the past fifty
years. and its mighty influence upon
the civilized world. He emphasized the

any other enterprise, and he would
give the Journalist due credit for his
tireless efforts not only to entertain and
enlighten. but to educate and elevate
