Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.

Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together.

A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will in time produce a people as base as itself.

The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations.

Don't be sensitive if I should, in future, seem brusque, harsh, or even unjust in my criticism. I sincerely hope I never shall be; but if I should, remember that fault-finding is perhaps both my privilege and my weakness, that correction is the only road to improvement, and that my quick temper and illness are entitled to some consideration.

If you will give the matter a moment's thought, you'll see that memory is the highest faculty of the human mind.
