Never in the history of the Amer
lean commonwealth was there such
an opportunity for constructive ser
vice on the part of its press.
Never has there been such clear
call to duty to the country, its IN
stitutions, its people as rings IN the
ears of the newspaper publishers OF
America today.
The challenge is before us.
And unless the press of America
fulfills its high mission III the days
that are ahead, we, too. will find
that we have gone the way of the
rest.
have heard it said that the peo-
pie of America are tired of hear
ing about Freedom of the Press, :
that Freedom of the Press has
become shopWorn and trlte.
The great trouble is that neither
the people nor some of the press
understand the real meaning of a
free press. A free press does not
mean my rights, nor yours as pub
Usher, to publish whatever we
please, to violate any laws, to in

But a free press does mean my
responsibility and yours to keep the
people informed through truthful
and unbiased presentation of the
news to which they are entitled anc
which will enable them to best de
termine those things of public
nature which are either favorable
or inimical to their own welfare
and to act accordingly,
It does mean our responsibility Il
comment fairly and intelligently il
our editorial columns upon thos'
things in order that we may hell

A free press is nobody's right ex
