shape and to tell the truth though the heavens fall


THE sun has been, is, and will continue to be indie
pendent of everybody and everything save the Truth

policy which an honest newspaper need have That
is the only policy which has won for this newspaper
the confidence and friendship of wider constituency
than was every enjoyed by any other American Jour

need be no mystery aboutts loves and hates 1t is for
the honest man against the rogues every time 1t is
for the honest Democrat against the dishonest Re-
publican. and for the honest Republican as against
the dishonest Democrat 1t does not take its cue from
the utterance of any politician political organza
