N',OV. 17, 1908.1 Some people do inot sufficiently rccog- nize, perhaps, how great an influence for the preservation ot that spirit of locai self-government which is the foundation of our institutions, the country press has been and is to-day It is unquestionablyi a power. And it holds this power andj retains this influence because of the sturdy ho-uesty of the country editor. The country press is the ideal of indepen- dence. It is as a rule unpurchaseabe and incorruptible. M7Te recently refused te, accept from a prorninent New York advertising agency the largest foreign adveetisement ever offered to THE STATESMAN in our ex- perience, because its object was to favor bettine: on races Since doing SQ we find a worthy example in the London [Eng- land] Daily News, one of the best news- papers in that great city, which has excluded from its columns the news of racing and betting contests and adver- tisemetnts of alsoholic liquors It is use less for any firm attempting to promote gambling schemes of any kind ln THE STATESMAN.
