I Am Deeply Interested In The Progress

A Cynical, Mercenary, Demagogic Press Will Produce In Time A People As Base As Itself.

We Are A Democracy, And There Is Only One Way To Get A Democracy On Its Feet In The Matter Of Its Individual, Its Social, Its Municipal, Its State, Its National Conduct, And That Is By Keeping The Public Informed About What Is Going On.there Isnot A Crime, There Isnot A Dodge, There Is Not A Trick, There Is Not A Swindle, There Is Not A Vice Which Does Not Live By Secrecy.get These Things Out In The Open, Describe Them, Attack Them, Ridicule Them In The Press, And Sooner Or Later Public Opinion Will Sweep Them Away.

Newspapers Should Have No Friends.

I Am Deeply Interested In The Progress And Elevation Of Journalism, Having Spent My Life In That Profession, Regarding It As A Noble Profession And One Of Unequaled Importance For Its Influence Upon The Minds And Morals Of The People

I Want To Talk To A Nation, Not To A Select Committee.
