LEAVE TO PRINT IN RECORD
The Obie cfionable Pamphlets were Published as Government DoCu- menfs> and Their Author Was Granted inc Privilege of Having Additional Copies Prinfed af Cost Price.

Washington, May 9-If Edward At
 kinson has given aid and comfort to
 the Philippine insurgents by his
 pamphlets, Senator Jones of Arkansas,
 and Senator Caffery of Louisiana have
 given aid and comfort to MT. Atkin-
 sen by having his seditious literature
 printed as public documents at gov ernment expense.
 On the 27th of last January, Sen
 ator Jcnes stated in the senate that he had a document by MT Edward Atkin- son which he would like to have printul He made no further expla- nation of it's nature, and there being. no objection, the necessary permission was given in the usual perfunctory fashion The document was Atkin- sons '-The Cost of National Crime" and ''The Hell of War" the publica- tiOn of which has since caused so much trouble. On the 1st of last March, in the closing hours of con gress, Senator Caffery, wh2Ge oDposi- tion to the administration policy of expansion has been of the most ve- hement kind, made a similar request for another screed of MT. Atkinson's, entitled Criminal Aggression; By Whom Commftted?" Mir Caffe~y's suggestion that it be printed as a pubic document was agreed to with out objection, as all such requests are since that time the objectionable pub lications have gone through the mail without paying postage, a privilege enjoyed by public documents. MT. At kinson was also entitled to nave addi~ 3icnal copies of his pamphlets printed at cost prices at the government print ing office, but it is not known whether he availed himself of this opportunity.
 Of the two documents the one pre- scented by MT Gallery, which deals with the presidents Boston speech, is decidedly the most violCnt in it's tone. It accuses the president of having broughId shame upon the nation, and asserts that Secretary Long has ut tered blasphemy It predicts that not one-half of the American soldiers sent to Manila will ever see their native land again, and that the living half Twill come back impaired in health and strength.
 Postmaster General Smith said yes terday that there were no new de- velopmentS in the natter. He has not 1 heard personally from Atkinson since tho order was issued debarring the 1 seditious pamphlets from the mail to the Philippines. It is said in admin istrGtion circles that there is no pres ent intention Of prosecuting Atkin- on, but that if he continues in hls | reasonable conduct some action will | be taken.
 Senator Chandler said yesterday that the sending Of the literature of | the Anti-Imperialistic league to the Philippines was undoubtedly treason able. But I think it would be very foolish to prosecute Atkinson and his associates" said he. "The literature might have created dissension among cur troops in the Philippines, but with the prospect of peace we do not care much about that now"
