The editor said: "The press, as a whole, probably is not as inde- pendent as it ought to be. Probably it caters too much to advertisers. Its woret fault, however, is that it lacks vision and moral courage. This, how- ever, does not mean that it is 'bought.' There is no doubt that our editors are human. There is no doubt that they are, like their readers, very of- ten under the domination of precon- ceived idea, inherited bias, and pre- Judices of different kinds, There is no question that & paper can be badly damaged by a blow at its advertising.
