MEN WANTED
Not 'gold, but only incu can make '
A nation great and strong, t
Men who tor truth and honor's sake

They build a nation's pillars deep. '
And lift them to - the sky.

A free press is the protagonist e
and preserver of all rights, the foe
and destroyer 6f all tyrannies. It ,
-insures every good cause a hearing j
and every false doctrine u chal- f
lengc. It is the. servunt of religion ,
philosophy, science, and art; the a
agent of truth, justice, and -civiliza f
fcion. Possessing it, no people can be c
held in intejlWiuul or political
bondage; without it. none can be f
secure against any form of enslave f

THE WISE MAN ...

sense of i's own Infirmities. tht
last is lifted up by the' discovery of
those which lie observes in othei c

bounds in. The wise man is happy c
when he gains his own approbation
and the fool when he recommends 3
himself to the applause of those
