the World" "The Daily News is a Chicago institution and one of which the community, its editor and its employes may well feel proud. A London editor once told me that The Chicago Daily News is by far the best afternoon paper in the world. "It is more than a purely Chicago institution. It has by example been a great force for good American journalism. It stands and has always stood for the best in our profession, resisting pure sensationalism, ever clean and wholesome, preferring sanity to hysteria and decency to ephemerally profitable smut. "Honesty and cleanliness have not proved unprofitable. Its circulation figures are the envy of its competitors, while the joy of the advertising manager is often tempered by the sorrow that comes from having to leave out columns of announcements for which no room can be found in a thirty-four page paper. "It does not distort news; neither does it know fear or favor when the public is entitled to information no matter how unpleasant the publication may be to those in high or powerful position. It honestly carries out its implied contract with the readers to render daily a full and unbiased record of all world happenings that a decent paper may present to clean-minded readers." From a speech delivered in London, England, by James Keeley, for many years editor of the Chicago Tribune and later publisher of the Chicago Herald.
