SAYS "Gath:" "The New York dailies
are set up in the midst of such tremen-
dous influences that they are circum-
spect and cautious. Their power is so
great, and the enterprises pressing for
recognition and aid are so rich and
numerous, that there is suspicious crit
icism of every piece of news offered.
Then, too, many of the papers are under
partisan or special control, and must
cut their work out to suit a dictation
that is unjournalistic, and usually un-
wise. The Western papers want the
news undiluted, and care little or moth
ing who it hurts or helps, so it pleases
the public"
