Freedom in all it's applications is q precious thing.
Freedom Of the Press especially is of oug most toas
ed constitutional rights.
Here at The News have always believed in fighting

believe in the privilege of the press to print The truth un-
biased unbcssea whether affects the derog the

And most certainly believe in the Freedom Of an In
diyidua to retaiac by legal when Freedom Of
the Press has been abused.
Time and again The News policies have clearly demon
slated strict adherence to the weooted principles cherish
ed by freedom-loYng people everywhere.
However, also regrefuly aware Of the readiness
with which few characters in business abuse the pre-
cous privileges Of freedom at the aud embaass
ment Of those who earnestly strive to maintain the generally
high level of American newspaper standards.
Fortunately those who choose to prostitute themselves
with the of yellow journalism part Of vanishing
America.
But then suppose therell always be few rotten
apples in every barrel.
