THE SUNDAY POsT-INTELLIGENC

This being Thanksgiving week, the
readers of the Sunday Post-Intelligencer
will have occasion to be really and truly
thankful for the paper they will receive
December 8. Pursuing its usual course
Of presenting interesting matter on all
subjects Of news. fiction, humor, science
and art, the Sunday edition will cover
an especially attractive field. Just now
the public is particularly interested in
South Africa. and the acknowledgement,
recognising that fact, will fully cover
the developments in the war against
the Beers. In the field of fiction,
Conan Doyle will contribute an entertain
ing story. The wits and humorists will
hold full sway In the depart
ment devoted to their jibes and jokes
and laughable illustration. while In the
field Of science and art the Sunday paper
will keep pace with the foremost thought
Of the day.
A special feature will be found in "a
Visit to Manila and the Firing Line in
the Philippines" by Marshall Bond, Of
Seattle. The article will be illustrated by
fine half tone engravings of scenes pho
tographed by the author while he was on
his way to the front.
People who expect to keep abreast OF
the hour cannot afford to be without the
Sunday Post Tntelligencer.

LIES TOLERATED ny CUSTOM.

Custom is law unto Itself, and this
Is the explanation Of the patience and
indifference with which the public SUBJ
mits very often to that against which
it's Judgment rises In rebellion. One in
stance Of this Is the liberation OF cam
paign falsehoods. Speakers and, it must
be confessed with regret, some news
papers seem to have no scruple what
ever about publishing the most defama-
tory reports concerning candidates
statements which no influence could in
duce them to publish at any other time
than during campaign.
Another instance Of this is afforded
is not the intention Of an ordinarily
reputable newspaper to mislead the pub
lie by publishing unreliable descriptions
in advance Of the appearance OF
theatrical company. 1t has become
merely custom to permit the press
agents of travelling shows to publish
complimentary notices, especially If they
purported to be extracts from another
newspaper. The public was not de-
ceived because 1t had become accus-
toned to this exceptional method Of
handling dramatic news. One great
harm was that 1t did not discriminate
between good plays and bad plays, or
rather between meritorious companies
and poor companies. The injustice was
as much to the theatrical profession as
to the public.
In one respect an injustice was done
the public with which shrewd news
paper men were familiar. but which
was permitted because that had always
been customary. That injustice is in
permitting the public to be deluded into
the belief that the company whose clev-
erness had been the theme of common
dation in the large Eastern cities was
the same as that billed to appear in
other places. To further this fraud it
has been the habit of theatrical manag-
ers in the West to ask for and receive
publication of complimentary notices
published in New York papers concern
ing a selected company whose identity
was established by name of recog-
nized reliability. Then a cheap aggre-
cation Is made and sent out to guileless
Western cities. whose people are not
supposed to be possessed of that crit
zeal ac,imen which distinguishes the
metropolitan audience.
Another fraud, less harmful perhaps,
that has been perpetrated both upon

nswspspers and upon tho public u the
publication Of Sensational stories con-
cerning actors and actresses for the
purpose Of booming an attraction.
Sometimes these stories are a. amusing
al they are Ingenious, and the public
must be prepared to accept them with
the same sasacity that Il applies to the
equally attractive stories which lead
up 10 the advertisements Of a specific.
II is the duty OF the newspaper to pro-
tect it's readers against publications
which It knows to be sufficiently untrue
to be deceptive, ana that the deception
Is deliberately calculated for the pur-
pose Of extorting money from the public.
The newspaper IL in better position
than the average reader to determine
the value Of the matter published and
the reader is Justified in indignation II.
being misled by publication in a
reputable newspaper, he Ia cajoled into
paying money for which he does not
receive value. When such q newspaper
fails to do this II IL not always from a
vicious participation in the wrong. but
because custom has lulled It into mat
tentidu. From that inattention Il Is
sometimes aroused by fragrant at
tempt to abuse the leniency with which
the imposition has been treated, and
when II does the public Is to be con-
graduated.

the tiasco Of last years attempts to
crush the Philippine rebellion. The
Oresonian u not often ridiculous. but
when II starts out on path Of foolish-
nsss it:iemands and should receive the

Portland papers solemn nonsense:
Last spring Gen. Otis was the dog In

Luxon with peace commission. BY the
time the peace commission reported that II
could not capture the elusive Agtlnnldo Il
was too late to unleash the dogs of war In
earnest. The rainy season was at hand,
than expired. This II why we did not
close out the spring campaign from Feb
ruary 4 10 May with complete victory. We
should have crushed Aguinaldo's opera
bouhe army and empire In thirty days,
probably. and surely in sixty, had Gen.
Otis been suffered to make war with the
eame vigor and energy TINT he has done
shame and disgrace to President McKin-
ley that Gen. Otis was not permitted to
conquer peace promptly through vigorous
warfare last spring"
The administration began the war in
earnest when 1t discovered that 1t had
been deceived by Gen. Otis as to the
extent of the revolt. the resources and
determination Of the insurgents, the
futile character Of the American victor
les, and the inadeQuacy OF our forces.
The facts are notorious that Gen. Otis
did not understand the nature and diff
ficulty OF the campaign before him, and
It was reliance upon his optimistic and
misleading reports that led both the
president and the American people to
believe that he had the situation we'll
