The prosperity of many papers that live by telling the truth in a truthful and respectable manner, shows that there are classes that can distinguish between journalism and newspaperism, and that a financial existence does not necessarily depend on loud type and high sounding distorting headings.

Let every one vote intelligently and thereby gain success. Other colleges are watching our conference. Let it be worthy of imitation...
