"Men prominent in affairs and public life know it well, and they realize that there is in ex istence today no more accurate, honorable and trustworthy organization that is subject to the limitations of human fallibility. The greater mass of the peopde understand in a vague way that it has something to do with newspapers, printers and publication, and is accurate and reliable.
