He denied 1t.
But after that it was, "Of

So often that 1t became
perfectly natural to say, "Of

There came a day, probably
only seven or eight years ago,
that he met Bob Rodenberg

the Rambler realized why

Bob Rodenberg is the chap

against their moving out Of

The function of newspapers is to present the news
rather than attempt to perpetuate the errors of those who
happen to control the business of publishing newspapers.
In almost every state there are examples of reputable
newspapers attempting to inform readers, and in their edi-
torial and special columns, advise them. Unfortunately, near
ly every person is. familiar with the newspaper that seeks
to color the presentation of news to suit the financial or
other interest of the owners of the journal involved.
More recently there has been a tendency on the part
of the press, as a whole, to seek sensational angles to stor-
les, under the impression that the public demands spectacu-
lar stuff. The great news agencies have not escaped the
trend.
TV and radio stations, together with the men who give
out spot news on the air, are suffering from the same NAL
ady. They seek decisive" announcements and sometimes
stretch what they have in order to make it sound conclu-I
