of what a newspaper should be; he
had buililed an ideal and nt once set
about to produce its counterpart The
paper had been aggressively partisan
in its tendency. This spirit wasquic*ly
curbed by the new helmsman and the
publication soon had the confidence
and respect of the people of the State
irrespective of party. For all that
good and pure in American journal-
ism the Free Press stands as a shining
pie of th " t possibilities* Mr.
Ouinby is a nu ive of the State of

his paper will devolve on his two sops
