dore Roosevelt.
BY Rev. T. 0. | |

The press Is the most powerful agell-
cy OF the present century IN correcting
abuses and molding public sentiment
During the first half century Of our
progress, as a race, we have had the
support and assistance of statesmen,
educators, philanthropists, clergymen.
business men and good neighhors Of the
other race, but what we need most at
present is the vigorous support Of an
honest, fearless press that viii not only
publish our faults and weaknesses to
the world, hut will give us credit for
our virtues and let the world know the
good things we have accomplished. II
Judged by the prepouderanCe OF what
Is seen in print, those away from the
scene might conclude that we are a
race Of slackers, loafers and lawbreak-
ers, Believing In the power Of publicity
70 aid in working reforms, we do not
ASK for the conCeRlment OF our mis-
takes, we only ask a frank and faith
iul statement so that unbiased minds
may draw their own conclusions, Then,
when there is ny virtue, any COM
mendahle act, any visible evidence of
substantial progress, tell the world
about It and we will feel happy and
encouraged to do our very best, We
sincerely appreciate what has been
done in the past, Let the good work
continue.
