The city's big problem, supply- ing water to its people, was being solved through the establishment of water points and by making available unlimited quantities from private artesian wells. Work was underway to put the Holly pumping and'filtration plant inundated by the Monday night torrential rains, back into service as soon as possible, possibly with- in three or four days. All pre- cautions were being taken against fire with the water mains empty.

A. (Cap) Price wilt Mtake hi* typewriter on that. Cap should know, too. He rub- bed elbows with the best: of the two-fleted journalists during his 20 years of service on the famous Springfield (Mas*.) Republican. Novri, as a *emi*retired agricul- tural feature writer for the Ex- tension Service, he look* back with pride on a 64 year career in jour- nalism. 45 of which were spent with the Associated Press. A|j f*r as Price is concerned, the best way to study the evolution of the American press is through a good look at the editorial page, j ^According to Caps a news- paper 50 years ago consulted of 20 per cent newa and 80 per cent what the editor thought of that news. Then a paper was known as Dana’s Tribune or Bowie’s RepabRcatt. Those were: also the days, he adds, when politicians had awful- m ________ r i ly thick *kin* and libel laws w«r* scarce and generally Ineffective, The journal* of th* day were pow- erful because of tht men behind them and because they were un- opposed a* a mean* of n#w* dis- semination. Isolation tendencies were strong in this period, too. When these "America Only" ideas began to dissolve, says Cap, the papers lost most of their influence. Today, America and the whole world are internationally minded, he adds, meaning, therefore, that the pres* no longer ha* the power to influence people nearly asi much as it once did. ]||riceL terms this change as a purely logical evolution. The fact that the editorials of today are essentially “polite essays” does not ite that they are entirely de- void of power. According to him, still are a strong force in local governmental affair*, newspaper’s loss of power on the editorial page is entirely compensated by the rise in its re- portorial excellence, continues the elderly journalist. The reporter of m today is a well-qualified specialist a* contrasted to the popultr fly- by-night writer of earlior time*. 'The buiinea* of the modem newspaper,” eiy Price, “ia to re* port tho epontaneou* newa of the day without color or bias." add* hastily that they trusted to do iu«t that. can be ij Ti> "We have no cause,” he contin- ues, “to doubt the good faith or accuracy of the news.”. He scoffs at the Idea that advertiser* or ahy other factions hold anything but ai negligible influence on newspapers Most important of all, Cap sin- cerely believes that the united States has enjoyed and is still en- joying a free press. He attributes this freedom to one main charac- teristic of newspapers. A high ideal and practice of decency, carried almost to the point of being puritanical, conclud- ed the white-haired writer, is the basis for the success of our free press.
