They're a good and bad in every country. Show me
the good and mad. I can't do that because there
is no good in it. But you said we were veterans.
Each of us fought to save the Union. Why should
we have fought just a short time to go to
preserve it and now be willing to become a mob
and destroy part of it because one man had wronged it.
(05:56):
America is much bigger than those little men ed, much
bigger than we are. If we want to fight against
wrong and evil, let's fight with the greatest weapon we have,
our own democracy. I'm sorry that was a speech. I
hate speech. H what's your name? Don Joseph? Look do

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Copies, young man, your man you, oh that's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (07:32):

lose my job? Of course I'll stop it.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
On.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's one more toing. I. I cannot let you stay
in the library anymore after closing hours. But I have
so little time to read all these books. In the morning,
I have to rush to my breakfast. Sometimes you can
forget my coffee to keep you from reading to death
and the steps outside and that's nice.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I'm late going here.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Because I cannot get you out of here. Udo, a
man is a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is only twenty four hours a day. That is little
enough to read.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All the books I have to read. That's another thing,
law book. Why should I promise the journalists like you'll
read the books? Udo? If I wanted to become a doctor,
what would I read doctor book? But but I read
love book. Therefore, I want to become a lawyer. You
are crazy with the career such as you haven't stored
and you speak of business. You want to build it
up for law. That's right, it will. It takes such
(08:52):
a long time, waste the time. I don't think so though.
You are crazy. You not doing your un't who don't
listen to me a moment? Why why could I listen
to Polish? It's not foolish. Do you think America has
given me the opportunity to become what I want to do.
So I'm going to study law and earn my way
(09:14):
by being a journalist until I am a lawyer. No
where else in the world could I study but one thing?
Why learning one even get another? Only in America? Would
only in America? Udo, Udo, why want you order bake
(09:44):
these people out? Where can we talk? Talk? If it
come behind the section I see the government or whenever
I used to those books, I thought you over in Washington, Joseph,
I got it, n I know, so does everyone else?
Listen here. It's wonderful, so wonderful. She's wonderful. Her name
is Kate David. He's the most charming season Udo. There
(10:06):
aren't enough dis in this library to describe her to
do her credit. If you had read something beside love books,
you would not Udo. I'm going to get married. Yes,
good now I will be able to close the library
once in a while. You don't seem enthusiastic about her,
but I am chosen. I hope you will be very happy.
(10:26):
It would be impossible to be otherwise with her. I'm
glad for you. We're going to Europe on our honeymoon,
and when we come back I'm going to become a
lawyer again, Joseph. I will to her. I will tell
us I keep you from and try, but my mind's
made of it. But I don't want to talk about that.
I want to talk about her, about Kate. Why do
you see her?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You'll fall in love with her too? Though for listeners polishness,
and I thought.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
But you came back from your hounymen, you would not
remember this lawyer business, Joseph, we do more than ever.
My mind's made of jellous. Don't tell cakes, but I
picked out my offices. I wanted to be a surprise
for it as Joseph's pullin, said attorney at law. Joseph
pull it a fist out of the order. Dright, Tate, shit,
you are a newspeper man and already say mus you
(11:22):
would smut on the breeze. Appealed that the only way
I could be happy in the newspaper business is to
have my own paper, and there are too many in
Saint Louis right now. No, it would be skimping saving.
I don't want Kate to go through that. I had
met her, she would do it, jose I know that,
and that's exactly the reason I'm going into law. Kid
(11:42):
would do anything if he thought it would help me.
And yeah, and watch what's that crowd in front of
the courthouse. Mm, I don't know, Jady Kelly drive over
to the courthouse. Oh he did not trouble the crowded
to orderly and no it was I have been author
right to put up for tast property and physical have
(12:05):
dead stuff with you? Fust pack ojo. The the fact
is being off paper down, get an open, let's single big?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
What's right here?
Speaker 1 (12:16):

(12:39):
Maybe someone else will did three thousands? If anyone says three,
I'll keep my mouth closed, miss journal Alexander mistick Grat.

But what will Kate say? Kate h? You know you?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Joseph God, all right, I've bought a newspaper, but I've
bought something else.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Du though. I bought responsibility and a duty to the people.
Very well, I'll make it the best newspaper I can.
Having purchased the State Lewis Dispatch had an auction and
(13:52):
merged with The Post, another Saint Louis newspaper, Joseph Bulletair
determined to make his paper the finest possible. In his
office he is reading an editorial. He has just dictators
and the Post the Facts will continue to fight against corruption,
fight and all the shameful practice is so prevalent. That's
(14:13):
not all right, John little Strong. They didn't he before
the nursery. The Post is the Post Dispatch now, John, Yes,
But the people you write these editorials about un well,
they won't take it lying down. The people depend upon
the freedom of the press. It's part and parcel about democracy.
When a newspaper fails to do its duty, when it
fails to use its freedom, it may as well go
(14:34):
out of business. Know what time is it? John m
almost midnight? At midnight, things would be worried. I didn't
know it was that late works might hast right then,
And don't set that editorial up yet, I may want
to add more to it, didn't I didn ij Cabby

writes the news men who remember Joseph Pullezer's creed. Our
republic and its press will rise or fall together only

lose my job? Of course I'll stop it.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
On.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's one more toing. I. I cannot let you stay
in the library anymore after closing hours. But I have
so little time to read all these books. In the morning,
I have to rush to my breakfast. Sometimes you can
forget my coffee to keep you from reading to death
and the steps outside and that's nice.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I'm late going here.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Because I cannot get you out of here. Udo, a
man is a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is only twenty four hours a day. That is little
enough to read.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All the books I have to read. That's another thing,
law book. Why should I promise the journalists like you'll
read the books? Udo? If I wanted to become a doctor,
what would I read doctor book? But but I read
love book. Therefore, I want to become a lawyer. You
are crazy with the career such as you haven't stored
and you speak of business. You want to build it
up for law. That's right, it will. It takes such
(08:52):
a long time, waste the time. I don't think so though.
You are crazy. You not doing your un't who don't
listen to me a moment? Why why could I listen
to Polish? It's not foolish. Do you think America has
given me the opportunity to become what I want to do.
So I'm going to study law and earn my way
(09:14):
by being a journalist until I am a lawyer. No
where else in the world could I study but one thing?
Why learning one even get another? Only in America? Would
only in America? Udo, Udo, why want you order bake
(09:44):
these people out? Where can we talk? Talk? If it
come behind the section I see the government or whenever
I used to those books, I thought you over in Washington, Joseph,
I got it, n I know, so does everyone else?
Listen here. It's wonderful, so wonderful. She's wonderful. Her name
is Kate David. He's the most charming season Udo. There
(10:06):
aren't enough dis in this library to describe her to
do her credit. If you had read something beside love books,
you would not Udo. I'm going to get married. Yes,
good now I will be able to close the library
once in a while. You don't seem enthusiastic about her,
but I am chosen. I hope you will be very happy.
(10:26):
It would be impossible to be otherwise with her. I'm
glad for you. We're going to Europe on our honeymoon,
and when we come back I'm going to become a
lawyer again, Joseph. I will to her. I will tell
us I keep you from and try, but my mind's
made of it. But I don't want to talk about that.
I want to talk about her, about Kate. Why do
you see her?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You'll fall in love with her too? Though for listeners polishness,
and I thought.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
But you came back from your hounymen, you would not
remember this lawyer business, Joseph, we do more than ever.
My mind's made of jellous. Don't tell cakes, but I
picked out my offices. I wanted to be a surprise
for it as Joseph's pullin, said attorney at law. Joseph
pull it a fist out of the order. Dright, Tate, shit,
you are a newspeper man and already say mus you
(11:22):
would smut on the breeze. Appealed that the only way
I could be happy in the newspaper business is to
have my own paper, and there are too many in
Saint Louis right now. No, it would be skimping saving.
I don't want Kate to go through that. I had
met her, she would do it, jose I know that,
and that's exactly the reason I'm going into law. Kid
(11:42):
would do anything if he thought it would help me.
And yeah, and watch what's that crowd in front of
the courthouse. Mm, I don't know, Jady Kelly drive over
to the courthouse. Oh he did not trouble the crowded
to orderly and no it was I have been author
right to put up for tast property and physical have
(12:05):
dead stuff with you? Fust pack ojo. The the fact
is being off paper down, get an open, let's single big?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
What's right here?
Speaker 1 (12:16):

he's no food? Three better go right, let's single get food?
Two thousands? What's mister Grat? There's no fool ex three
twenty five hundred dollars one hundred? What did I tell?
(12:39):
Maybe someone else will did three thousands? If anyone says three,
I'll keep my mouth closed, miss journal Alexander mistick Grat.
When you say three? Why do I do someone to

Speaker 4 (12:51):

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Alright dolly? Three times? And who this year? Mister? That's
your bulletaer oujo? Who do I didn't mean that? Why

So you bought a newspaper. Do you want it to

be a lawyer so badly that you? All right? You win?
But what will Kate say? Kate h? You know you?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Joseph God, all right, I've bought a newspaper, but I've
bought something else.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Du though. I bought responsibility and a duty to the people.
Very well, I'll make it the best newspaper I can.
Having purchased the State Lewis Dispatch had an auction and
(13:52):
merged with The Post, another Saint Louis newspaper, Joseph Bulletair
determined to make his paper the finest possible. In his
office he is reading an editorial. He has just dictators
and the Post the Facts will continue to fight against corruption,
fight and all the shameful practice is so prevalent. That's
(14:13):
not all right, John little Strong. They didn't he before
the nursery. The Post is the Post Dispatch now, John, Yes,
But the people you write these editorials about un well,
they won't take it lying down. The people depend upon
the freedom of the press. It's part and parcel about democracy.
When a newspaper fails to do its duty, when it
fails to use its freedom, it may as well go
(14:34):
out of business. Know what time is it? John m
almost midnight? At midnight, things would be worried. I didn't
know it was that late works might hast right then,
And don't set that editorial up yet, I may want
to add more to it, didn't I didn ij Cabby

writes the news men who remember Joseph Pullezer's creed. Our
republic and its press will rise or fall together only
an able, disinterested, public, spirited press with a trained intelligence
to know the right and the courage to do it
and preserve that public virtue without which popular government is
(23:50):
a sham and a mockery.
