sEArTLEs NEWSPAPERS
We are no accustomed TO. scoiding
and criticising our newspapers. that
we usually fail 70 give credit where
and when II IS due The editorial
department Of a newspaper Is the
gauge OF its integrity, the scope Of
It's intelligence and the scales upon
which It's reasoning is weighed The
material and selfish interests must
necessarily dominate newspaper
writer's, as II does tho rest OF man
kind As a rule. newspapers are tho
mere reflection OF the various groups
in society. and give expression 70 tho

by taking hold OF his boot straps-
This one thing IN true. A newspaper
cannot serve Nammon and the conn
mon people at the same time.
