A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor CT
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the he
ligious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also re-
| garding suits for libel brought by
Golfers against us for commenting
upon it's methods.
These are his sentiments, With
some very emphatic words left out.
"The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage IN
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the Boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans"
successor"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
Hers has finally run against a solid
hickory "Post" and been damaged In
its own estimation to the tune OF
$750,0O0.O0."
Here is a publication which has,
in utmost disregard Of the facts,
spread broadcast damaging state
ments about the Religious Press and
others and has suffered those false
statements to go uncontradicted, I'M
til, not satisfied after finding the Re-
ligious Press too quiet, and peaceful,
to resent the insults, 1t makes the
mistake Of wandering into a fresh
field and butts its ratified head
against this Post and all the World
laughs. Even Christians smile, as
the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back a dose of its own medicine"
at is a mistake to say all the
World laughs. No CHEEKY laugh
comes from Golfers, but it cries and
boo hoos like a spanked baby and
wants $3.50, 10000 to soothe its ten
der, lacerated feelings"
Thank Heaven it has at last
struck a man with back bone"
enough to call a spade a spade" and
who believes in telling the whole
truth without fear or favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it Is
on file in our office and is only n Of
a mass of letters and other data,

Usually a private controversy is
not interesting to the public, but this
is a public controversy.
Golfers has been using the "yel-
low" methods to attract attention to
itself, but, jumping in the air, crack
ing heels together and yelling Look
at me" wouldn't suffice, sc it started
out on a "Holier Than Thou" attack
on the Religious Press and on medi-
cines.
We leave it to the public nov, as
we did when we first resented Col
lier's attacks, to say whether, in a
craving for sensation and circulation,
it's attacks do not amount to a sys-
tematic mercenary bounding. We
likewise leave it to the public to say
whether Golfers, by its own policy

accompanied by a number Of the
members of the Board of Directors,
left Pittsburg for an extended trip Of
inspection over the western part of

McCrea, the Pennsylvania will not go
ahead with the extensive improve

lines west, on account of the present
money stringency. Asked about the
intended improvements, which were
to cost over $3,000,000. he said:
There is no program for that. For
some reason investors feel such a

that they appear unwilling to supply
