The Chicago Star is part of
that tradition.
In a city of five dailies. the
Star-small and weak as it is
is the only dependable voice of
truth.
WHEN the packinghouse work

named Santo Cicardo, only one
paper carried the facts.
When the banker dominated
Transit Board struck again at
the peoples purse with another
unwarranted fare increase, it was
the Star that raised the alarm.
And when the Tribune recently

hound Negroes on The South

manded a haH to such savagery.
CHICAGO itself has a fine
press heritage. Once there were
even noteworthy crusades waged
