S YOUR EDITOR we have assum ed c ertain obligations and responsi­
bilities which we are faithfully striving to discharge. We are in perfect
accord w ith th e code, given below, which a n o th e r editor penned to his
readers.
“The third obligation is th a t of courage. It should be fearless
in th e expression of righteousness, in th e espousal of justice,
in the defense of th e weak.
“The fou rth obligation is th a t of consistency. • Knowing the
position of a new spaper today, one ought to be able to tell
its position of yesterday and w here it will stand tom orrow .
“T he fifth obligation is to furnish intelligent com m ents on
th e item s of new s which have an im p o rtan t bearing on public
opinion and public m orals.
“ The sixth obligation is to help pro tect the com m unity from
im position, from fraud, from danger.
“ The seventh obligation is leadership.
“ The eighth obligation is service. It serves as a com m unity
advisor, the source of first aid, th e benevolent philanthropist,
the uplifter, th e civic booster, the big b rother, of the neigh­
borhood.
