THE WORLD poDoEs.

Writing to the New York World. r.
X vanDyke of Harrisburg. Pa. says:
Here are three questions for the
World TO answer:
Il. Did the World support Bryan In
1896 and 1900.
-. VIII the World support Bryan
in 1905 IL he is nominated by the nver-
whelming vote OF tho national con-
vention7
naming specifically the interests
which control its utterances?"
over Mr. vanDyke's letter the
World prints this headline. Answered
with Pleasure and below tho letter
appears the following:
Answers:
Il. The World did not support Mr.
Bryan in 1896. It supported him in
1900 on the issue Of the un-American
policy of Asiatic colonial government
-. It is not easy TO conceive Of cir
cumstances in which the World could
conscientiously support Mr.. Bryan for
president this year.
= The interests which control the
utterances of the World are the pub
lie interests-Ed World"
But the World does not answer NJ.
Van Dykes third question. He asked
For whom does the World speak.
naming specifically the interests
which control its utterances.- And
the only answer which this great
newspaper makes to this question is:
The interests which control the ut
terances OF the World are the public
interests"
But that by no means answers the
question. II is mere assertion and
leaves the reader dependent upon the
word of the editor OF the World. which.
in this particular. may be Of no value.
Let the World state the extent Of
the financial interests held by its own
er. Joseph Pulitzer. in railroad COM
panies and in great corporations com
monty known as trusts
With this information the readers
Of the World will be in better position
TO determine the special interests for
which the New York World is carry
| ing on its campaign OF misrepresenta-
tion with respect to Democrats who
have not the favor Of the World and
its masters.

THE FULL DINNER PAIL

The state labor department Of New
York on April 10 issued a bulletin in
which IL Is stated that at the close of
1907 one out OF every three union men
in the state was idle. The trades
union policy is to not only shorten the
working day. but to limit the number
OF working days per week in order to
insure work enough for their mem
bers to provide against want For in
stance, the International Topographic
al union has a ls>w prohibiting a mem
ber working more than six consecutive
days II there Is any member Of the
union looking for work in the local
Jurisdiction. Many local unions
adopted a five-day law early last win
ter in order TO distribute the work
among more men. Other unions DO
the same thing. and this served in
large measure TO aide many men with
families over the winter. But II one
out of every three union men in New
York state is out o. employment. what
must be the proportion Of jobless men
In the unorganized trades and occu-
paticns7 The campaign slogan of the
full dinner pair would elicit more
1eers than cheers II offered to the
workjngmen of New York to-day.
