Dooley on the Power of the Press in The American Magazine
A Dooley piece in The American Magazine extols the press as a force that shapes public life from church to politics. It cites Hogan and a bar of printer’s ink symbolizing its reach, warns of its reach into homes and hearts, and humorously notes how it could elevate or ruin reputations across the world. The column also notes revival meetings, a local illness, and a local lumber yard advertisement.
