Called Down for Theft.

The Kansas City Journal has been
called down by the Chicago Tribune for
reprinting MCCutcheon cartoons with
out giving credit for them. The Trib-
une printed the following editorial on
the subject Sunday. The Kansas Citv

cartoons of McCutcheon and reprint
them without credit The Tribune is
more widely circulated in Missouri and
Kansas than the Journal is, and the
theft of a McCutcheon cartoon must be
widely known and advertised. Every
time the Journal does a thing of that
kind it convicts itself in the estimate
of many of its readers of petty larceny.
