"Our Republic and its press will
rise or fall together. An able,
disinterested, public-spirited press,
with trained intelligence to know the
right and courage to do it, can preserve
that public virtue without which popular
government is a sham and a mockery. A
cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will
produce in time 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." Joseph
