MISUSE OF A NEWSPAPER.


Subscribers Do Not Pay For Papers
to BE Served With Distorted Facts
and GIaring Misrepresentation TO
Boost Up the Candidacy of a stock
holder.
To the Editor Of the News: Sir-sa-
vannah has a beautiful instance of glar-
ing misuse. of fragrant abuse, of news
paper in the Evening Press Of yesterday.
From il it is to be concluded that the even
ing paper Of this city is to be run, for the
next few days at least, In the interest of
its large stockholder. Mai. p. W. Meldrim.
The people who have subscribed to that
paper TO get the news are to be robbed
Of their right to the news. Instead Of the
news they are, apparently. to be served
up with glowing tributes TO Mai. Meldrim,
with wonderful accounts of thousands of
people parading where there were but
few hundred. Never, in the newspaper
history of Savannah, has there been such
a deliberate misuse Of a paper as in this
instance The News, dealing justly by
poth parties, acting as a newspaper, not
as the personal organ Of a stockholder
running for office, gave to both clubs a
proper account of their proceedings. There
was no desperate effort on its part to
buoy up a candidate by grossly misrep-
resenting the conditions that existed The
News did not minimize one meeting, bury
ing 1t In an obscure corner, and with
great headlines, vastly exaggerated fig
ures. glowing rhetoric. and the wonder
ful imagnings of an editor seeing through
Meidrim spectacles. endeavor to influence
the public in behalf OF the other ticket
by Misrepresentation. The public.
though, has sized up the Press. II knows
that from now until after next Tuesday
It's sole purpose OF existence viii be not 10
advance Savannah's interests, but to en-
deavor TO elect Its large stakeholder mayor
Of Savannah. The Press evidently forgets
that the vast bulk of its support comes
from Citizens Club people, who. as sub
scribers, are at least entitled to proper
treatment at its hands. II may be well
to use It's editorial columns to boost IN
Mai. Meldrims candidacy, but the news
column Of newspaper should be dedi-
Gated to facts. Justice

Columbus, Ca. Jan. zo.-The creation Of
. republican club IN this city has caused

eoynt Of the personnel n the membership.
which includes poDUlists and democrats
u more or less prominence In their re-
spectiye parties.
There seems more in the announcement
than appears On the surface. az the
scheme was engineered by the few old
time white republicans. and Is believed
10 BE- part o. a general plan 70 organize
a white republican party in all the south
eru states. Promises Of spoils in way OF
Offices seems 70 be the chief means en-
ployed 70 secure recruits for the new
party. according 20 current reports.

MAJOR MELDRIM's THREAT
fntimated That Politics and Not
Philanthropy Has Been the Main
snring of His Act.

Savannah. Ca. Jan %. IsT-To the
Editor Of the News. sir-Is it philan-
thropy or Diacticai politics that has NOV
ed Maj. Peter ". Meldrim in his speech
Or two in behalf Of higher education for
the negro?
In his speech on Tuesday night. see
from the News IN appealing 70 the col
cred voters for their support at the com
ing election, ne held over them the
threat that if they did not vote for him.
they need not come TO him when they
want help in their cause Of education
Does this sound like noble, high-minded.
loving philanthropy, or does it sound like
cool. calculating. political ambition?
Would this threat Indicate that a much
advertised effort or two in the past flow
ed from the well-spring Of brotherly love
or from the hidden current Of selfish as
piration?
Would philanthropist who had given
starving man a loaf Of bread threaten
that if the man did not vote for him he
would see him starve rather than give
him another loaf?
The Georgia State Industrial College
was established by the state Of Georgia.
1t is kept up out Of the public funds Of
Georgia. Mai. p ". Meldrim does not
give cent directly for its maintenance.
He was not even in the legislature when
/ this school was established. The appro-
priatiOn was not due to his Efforts. Mai
Meldrim is merely chairman of the board
Of trustees by appointment of the gov
error. Suppose he does refuse to aid the
colored people unless they vote for him
What difference would that make? There
are others who would do SO and not de-
mand their votes in payment, either
Bringing the school referred TO into
politics to aid Maj. Meldrim's political
ambition is not likely to help the school
Il Injuries any school 10 be dragged into
| politics. The best class of colored citi-
zens know this. The school, does not de-
pend for its existence on Maj. Meldrim
The cause Of the education of the color
ed youth Is not based upon his support
A threat that he viii do nothing further
unless the colored voters vote to put him
in office falls fiat on intelligent colored
men.
Threats like that of Tuesday night have
an ugly sound to them. They are not
part and parcel of high pane" politics.
| They show desperation in the face Of i'm
pending defeat. They are an acknowl-
edgement of weakness, a confession that
the speaker fears the result of the cleo
ton. JUSTICE.
