NEWSPAPER critics are always
devising means to improve the publi-
cations of the world. But the news
paper is for information as to events
and not ethical leadership. The pub
lie wants news and those papers which
have tried to eliminate certain classes
of news from their columns to meet
the ideals Of a few critics have failed
by their own omissions. A news
paper, even the smaller city papers,
are more or less complicated institu-
tons. But those of its departments
which are not entirely of a news
character r secondary in its make
up. The newspaper has faults just as
has any other human institution.
That it is always striving for its own
betterment while fighting for the best
constructive interests of the commun-
tiles in which it is published shows its
desire to grow and keep apaee with
development in every line. News
papermen live in the faith of their
calling and are willing to abide the
judgment of time and experience upon
them and their work.
