paper SUlptlllUbUS.
But the Times publishes the Cowiey's
weak. cvasivc defense with approba-
tion and partly in reply to our stric-
turcs of last week.
1t must he remembered that we ask
ed for comparison of registration cN-
pcnses before the syndicate was cS-
tabliShcd with those for the same work
since. If it was fair to show up the
shcriffs' accounts in th1t way il was
equally fair to expose tn" Times
Co"ritr-rcgistrars scheme.
But what does the CoUrjer' This is
about all
If the JOURNAL had taken the trouble to
examine the levy list it would have found
that its levy for printing was S3l, while the
levy to this paper was only $3.50.
Let us take another view of it, The
Times ostcnsiblc levy for printing was
$lS5.23, the greater part of which was
for printing and registration work.
OF this sum the Courjer got at least
$l6l.74. Add to this its confession.
S22 80 and the C0,Wjer got SlS4.24.
How stands the account thus with
the Times, which, although being the
"organ" of the democratic party in
the county, is willing to divide with
the nothingarian Co"rjer their joint
robberies OF the independent star, Re
rie,r and JOURNAL? The Times gets
$l6l.75 for registration work, and the
same amount for other printing, in
all $323.59.
Against this the JOURNAL gets
$3l 05; the RerjC,r nothing: the star
nothing.
That is what an "rrran' does, and
il is a sample of organization The
"organ can "divvy" with the Conricr
its earnings as an "organ.' 1t can
even regard Il job given to :, gentle
man who probably dcspis"s the TjaCS
as an encouragement of its schcm" to
IKE from the Journal the little that
it has.
The JOURNAL did not "chargr" Mr.
Ilambright with taking pay for two
services. The Times is nearly as rcck-
less at reading and quoting as at writ
ing. The JOURNAL "suggestcd" that
Mr.. Hambright might be making this
"douhlc-play" ncOnStitutionally, in
which event we will have to add fl05. 20
to his printing bill of $lGl.74, in all
$261 .44-tO one man for registration
work alone! How will this sound in
the ears of the Senate next winter?
The taxpayers need not be remind
ed that this compound Of newspaper
and registrar is cost ly-thc Times says
more so than it used to be when every
registrar was his own man" The
new law and new districts have con
tributcd to the expense. No doubt.
But printers know that when two Of
their number enjoy II 'c"riIcr on fur
nishing perhaps five times as much
supplies every year to tn" registrars
as they need the twain have soft
thing. For the most part the blanks
are all the same, but each registrar is
charged as though the work was done
only for him.
But the coolest thing that has ap-
pearcd in this controversy is this from
the Times last effusiOn
The Conricf and Mr.. Hambright having
been brought into this matter Ivy the JorR-
Nal, in connection with the Times. the pub
lication of their emphatic denial of the exist
cnce of any so-called trust i< due them.
Certainly.
The JoURNAL will deny also that
there are such papert as the Times and
CoUrjer. 1t will even rcpudiate the
existence of man named Hambright,
But what will it count
When the taxpayers are fishing for
the bottom pennies to pay the regis
printing bills, wont they know
that we are lying?
