Referring to the fact that some public
officials who do every thing in their power
to cripple the newspapers. while they secure
all the fees and salary they can possibly get
under the law for themselves. the Morshall
Index says: Newspapers are tired of being
treated by public officials ~ mendicants to
receive charity of robbers to be fortified
against. They are better servants of the
public and for less pay than the men who,
while drawing fat salaries in offices, are
throttling the newspapers by denouncing
them for the little they do receive"
