BE FAIR AND CANDID.

Al article IN the Oklahoma City
TinlesJournal leaves the intlmation
that The Leader seems friendly to the
American Book trust. AS the question
sis surely not a partisan one. and as all
men ia thie state, at least, make the
claim they are eDemies TO trusts. The
Leader feels that for once in the his.
tory Of the publication the Times
Journal might discuss case without
trying to nisrepfesent The Leader.
The Leader does not presume there
10 a responsible newspaper in the state
who would favor turning the text
books OF the state over to the manip-
uiation OF the American concern. Nor
does that imply that the concern is the
onlyone wanting to get a strangle
bold oS the school books OF the state.
IN fact the article which the Times
Journal chose to apply as a favorable
omen for the American concern, was
written TO warn that there was more
than one Of these predatory monsters
seeking business in our state. and
there is certainly no honest man who
wishes to state that there is but one
70 watch
The Leader certainly feels that
where the whole people are concerned
and political lines wiped out, the press
af he state should be brave and true
g the common veal and The Leader
ifll ask no newspaper to go out on
tliefiring line to do battle with a trust
that Il will not be at the same hour
and the same place ready to serve its
constituents-the the reading public Of the
state OF Oklahoma
And The Leader does not see in tn
disposition of the Oklahoma City press
as fair discussion as seems neces.
sary Oklahoma City has long been
a battle ground between the two grelt
trusts. Only back In 1905 the issue
was fought Hereunder differen,
names, It Is true~-and the principals a.
the schools, retiring and coming in
had their names mixed in the deal
Which side they we're on does not
matter but that ahey we're arrayed IN
battle togs, there can be no denial
And now, when the Oklahoma City press
hurls charges or even intlmates that
the newspapers of other cities are IN
fair and show a disposition TO 60 over
TO amy trust, Is a trifle more than cir
oumstantial evidence warrants. accord
ing to our humble view
And it may be added, also, that Il
Che People OF Oklahoma City have as
strong newspaper champions against
trust invasion and occupance as have
Che olhSr cities throughout this great
state then. Mr.. TimesJournal the
