Davis for R. Hoe & Co.) I am the printing press, born of the mother earth. My heart is of steel, my limbs are of iron, and my fingers are of brass. I sing the songs of the world, the orations of history, the symphonies of all time. I am the voice of today, the herald of tomorrow. I weave into the warp of the past the woof of the future. I tell the stories of peace and war alike. I make the human heart beat with passion or tenderness. I stir the pulse of nations, and make brave men do braver (eeds, and soldiers die. I inspire the midnight toiler, weary at his loom, to lift his head again uind gaze, with fearlessness, into the vast bey.onl1d, seeking the consolation a hope eternal.

A newspaper, any newspaper wor thy of the name, is first of all, a pub lie institution, although privately owned and operated. More than any purely public institution, maintained by and for the public, a newl'spaper is distinctly' for service if it fulfills its prina ry purpose. Without worthily serving the public it cannot survive for long, and as is the measure of its service so is its length of (lays and its power for usefulness. Primarily the newspaper is for the dissemination, the retailing of news and general information. It is the pioneer and leader in every worthy enterprise in the community in which it aims to serve the public. It is the friend and mouthpiece of those who labor to achieve. It is their encour ager and assistant in striving for the attainment of the things desired, the things whereby organized society ad v'ances and achieves. It is ever ready and~ wiling to give its aidl in the pro motion, the upbuilding of anly ambi tious, self-helping community, to give publicity to what is being accomplish edI in lines of ind~ustry and enter prise, iln order that the wvorld may know and1( appr'cialte endleavors for I advanlcementt, (ledevors to stablish firmly and1( permanently the things by whtich humanlllkind is mlade more hap~py, morel' prosplerous and tmore secure inl thle enijoyment of life, lib erty and protectionl under the lawv.
