There Is Not A Crime,

A Journalist Is The Lookout On The Bridge Of The Ship Of State. He Notes The Passing Sail, The Little Things Of Interest That Dot The Horizon In Fine Weather. He Reports The Drifting Castaway Whom The Ship Can Save. He Peers Through Fog And Storm To Give Warning Of Dangers Ahead. He Is Not Thinking Of His Wages Or Of The Profits Of His Owners. He Is There To Watch Over The Safety And The Welfare Of The People Who Trust Him.

Publicity, Publicity, Publicity Is The Greatest Moral Factor And Force In Our Public Life.

The Power To Mould The Future Of The Republic Will Be In The Hands Of The Journalists Of Future Generations.

Money Is The Great Power Today. Men Sell Their Souls For It. Women Sell Their Bodies For It. Others Worship It. The Money Power Has Grown So Great That The Issue Of All Issues Is Whether The Corporation Shall Rule This Country Or The Country Shall Again Rule The Corporations.

My Especial Object Is To Help The Poor; The Rich Can Help Themselves. I Believe In Self-made Men.
