Today's Word—"And So Forth..."

The people’s forum:

"As liberty of the press is so essential to the improvement of the mind, we shall consider our paper, a free paper, with, however, proper and usual restrictions.… But the columns of this newspaper shall always be open to free and temperate discussions on the matters of politics, religion, and so forth."
Elias Boudinot, editor, The Cherokee Phoenix, in its first issue, Feb. 21, 1828 (Thanks to alert WORDster Becky Tallent)
