 The country editors who listened to the above high-hown sentiments must have inwardly chuckled and pictured in their minds eye the editor of the great city daily placed in their own position. Sup press the news Of course they suppress the news Would the preaching city journalist publish the nt mate OetallS or an lnOlSCGeCO, or .! crime, committed by member of his own family as readily as he does with reference to persons with whom he IS unacquanted2 Neither will the country editor hold up to public scorn his neghbor with whom he rubs elbows every day in the year.

Keeley represents, who are not influenced in some manner other in their methods of disseminating news and opinions. In most cases the influence is masked, in some it IS known, and ln yet others 1t IS exerted unconsC!ously.
 So long as newspapers are dependent upon ad vertisng for their existence so long will they be more or less influenced in the character of matter published The ability to resist this pressure, while it may reveal the integrity and independence of the editor does not make for the building up of a big newspaper.
 As to printing all the news, should the average country newspaper attempt to carry into effect the methods followed by the large city publications, small communities would continually be torn up by dssension and made unenable as places of resi- dence for editors.
