In the production of the editorial page there is involved, as the
primary task, the creation and maintenance of a personality that will
speak with the voice of the newspaper, that will excess the consciousness
and the conscience of the newspaper and that will reveal a character
worthy of the respect and the confidence of the readers.
The biiath of life must be breathed into it that it become a liviing
soul. How is-it to be accomplished ? By no tricks of artifice or of legor
demain; only by putting into it the best that is in its creators.
The faculty of tlie artist who sees beauty where others see nothing at
tractive; of'the musician, who discerns, harmonies not distinguished by
duller senses; of the poet, who finds in the “primrose by the river’s

To see first that men live, they

Mr. Rea, because he reaches the age
of seventy, retires from the presi

efficient period of his life. For men
that live wisely and think as they
live, the most efficient years of life
should come between seventy and
