ii certain jouniahbtio crank who deolared in favor of v impersonal joumalibm an expression which he borrow ed from some other yankee crank and who said a paper alone should be responsible for its utterances without regard to the personality of the writer in faotit is tiie paper thai speaks not the editor there is however really no such thing as im personal journalism except in sheets too obscure to be dignified with the title jour nal bocauseif a writer h any eminence at all in his profession his identity and personality will surely become known it is this fact which gives status and influence to one journal and denies them to another the journal which wins the favor of the best classes of people will al way b be that one which is editorially controlled and made by a man whose intrinsic worth is recog nized by the same people on the other hand the journal which receives the en comiums of those whoare deficient in moral tone will be one which is presided overbya man similarly afflicted the tone or char acter of every journal is but the reflex of the editors moral naturej and noamountof sophistry can shake this tjjuth upon these premises absolutely truei it will

hashed to the great success that crowns the history of the acton fbke ptuiss it is satisfactory to any people to know that in their midst a newspaper of such high moral tone exists and wields its
