YELLOW PRESS is
SCORED BY ANDREWS
Nebraska University President Says
Proved Libelers Should Be
Hanged.

Washington, Oct 1S.-President q,
Benjamin Andrews, of the University
of Nebraska, in addressing the fall
convocation of the George Washing,
ton university here, bitterly denounc-
ed what he termed malicious and will
full Misrepresentation of the acts OF
public or prominent men by the press,
Hanging, he said, should be the pun
ishment meted out to a proved libeler.
None of the business villainies al
legged to be so rife" he continued, can
compare in atrocity with these squalid
campaigns of libel and libelous carl
cature which recent months have pro-
duced."
DR.. Andrews said he did not care
for the rich as such, but that the
pride, idleness and doubtful practices
of a few rich are no just cause for put
ting all rich men in the pillory. He
contended that the prices Of commod-
tiles were attributable to influence OF
the public rather than to monopolis-
tic tendencies.
