"I
realized that the sole aim of journalism should be service. The
newspaper press is a great power, but just as an unchained torrent of
water submerges whole countrysides and devastates corps, even so an
incontrolled pen serves but to destroy. If the control is from without,
it proves more poisonous than want of control. It can be profitable only
when exercised from within. If this line of reasoning is correct, how
many of the journals in the world would stand the test? But who would
stop those that are useless? And who should be the judge? The useful and
the useless must, like good and evil generally, go on together, and man
must make his choice."
