"A newspaper is a public institu tion, and is not fulfilling its highest functions if devoted selfishly. "As a fundamental principle, it Is agreed that the truths the basis of all correct journalism. To go be yond the truth is a betrayal of trust. To suppress the truth when it prop erly belongs to the public is always to be condemned and never practiced. "Control of news or comment for business considerations is unworthy. News should be written and Inter preted wholly and at all times in the interest of the public. "Not only are these principles to be applied to the news and editorials, but to the advertising columns. De- ceptlve or misleading advertisements or advertising disguised as news brings disrepute to the newspapers which permits such tactics.

" I Small town newspapers, Mr South ern told his audience, have come nearer formulating a set of Ideals of the newspaper profession Into a code of ethics than has any other section of the newspaper world. "These declarations have so far only come 'from the provincial papers, but have received the strong endorsement of the larger papers and world wide comment and ap proval." "The hlghtest art in the newspa per business" Mr. Southern declared. "Is to give the readers what they should have In such a way that they will think Jt Is exactly what they want."
