Newspapers Should Have No Friends.

Every Issue Of The Paper Presents An Opportunity And A Duty To Say Something Courageous And True; To Rise Above The Mediocre And Conventional; To Say Something That Will Command The Respect Of The Intelligent, The Educated, The Independent Part Of The Community; To Rise Above Fear Of Partisanship And Fear Of Popular Prejudice. I Would Rather Have One Article A Day Of This Sort; And These Ten Or Twenty Lines Might Readily Represent A Whole Day's Hard Work In The Way Of Concentrated, Intense Thinking And Revision, Polish Of Style, Weighing Of Words.

They Call Me The Father Of Illustrated Journalism. What Folly! I Never Thought Any Such Thing. I Had A Small Newspaper, Which Had Been Dead For Years, And I Was Trying In Every Way To Build Up Its Circulation. What Could I Use For Bait? A Picture, Of Course.

Our Republic And Its Press Will Rise And Fall Together.

There Is Not A Crime, There Is Not A Dodge, There Is Not A Trick, There Is Not A Swindle, There Is Not A Vice Which Does Not Live By Secrecy.

The Power To Mould The Future Of The Republic Will Be In The Hands Of The Journalists Of Future Generations.
