WAR JOURNALISM

Americans enjoy distinct advantage
over the Spaniards in the dual fact tina:
there is no press censorship in this coun-
try and that what the newspapers dc
not get and publish doesn't happen.
Against this proposition it may not
be said, in limitation of the praise
due the newspapers, that they some
times go further, and print things
without much reference to their
having happened, or the probability
CT their happening, for it is better
for the people that they come to know
some things that are not so than that
they should be kept in ignorance OF
actual occurrences.
Without disputing the contention, ii
is enough to say that an intelligent ell

started out to buck the octopus, has
succumbed to the inevitable and sold its
plant to it's rival. The immediate re-
suit has been an advance of six per
cent in the price of kerosene oil. and a
statement that the quotation will be
gradually forced upward until twenty
five per cent rise is achieved.
The Puente company sold about $685.

ably the Standard company disposes of
several times as much in the same ter
ritory, but placing its output at like

year. A twenty-five per cent advance
would add something like $4,000 to the
annual amount paid by the consumers.
In other words, the existence Of the
Standard Oil monopoly at the very low

are much higher-costs the kerosene oil
consumers of Southern California $65, 900
