come into general use only within
the past decade. The press, since
Guttenberg and Caxton began near-
ly four centuries ago, producing
printed words in quantity, has been
the agency which pioneered tbe break-
lug down of monarchies and dicta-
torships, and building up freedom
and democratic institutions. Until
printing came, there was virtually no
liberty in tbe world; since it came,
the printing press has been more po-
tent tbau artillery in every .battle
where liberty has been at stake. The
first act of every dictator has been
to suppress or con'trol the press. The
| pet bate of every demogoge has «!-. 1
ways been the newspaper. People
have long since formed the habit of
believing what they see in their news-
papers. The psychologists tell us
that a man remembers seven times
as much of what he reads as of what •
he hears.
The governor, if he actually be-
lieves what those near him say be,
does—and his relations with tbepress'
would indicate that he does— may j
learn yet that tbe press Is a symbol j
of a very sacred and jealously guard-1
ed right of the people of Texas.
