THE coWARDLY PUBLISHER.
Who Publishes Railroad Time Cards
"Free"-Betause He Thinks He
Has To.
(Michigan CITY News.l

There are still some few cheap
skate papers over the country in
whose columns you will occasionally
find the free" publication of rail-
road time card. There is something
radio ally wrong with the head of any
publication which permits his bust
ness to be dictated and run by some
one else. There IS either cowardice
or inability TO comprehend the situA-
ton. Such methods OF attempted
newspaper work should render that
publication unworthy of recognition
by the legitimate newspapers of the
fraternity. The publisher who at
tempts 10 slide in under the dignity
of the profession and does not know
how TO conduct his paper edrtorially
or otherwise in the interests of the
fraternity had better have a guardian
appointed or quit the business. Or, if
he is running a cheap paper that is
just pegging along for existence, with
out subse riptions or other business to
keep IT in existence-and that is about
the only kind of papers that are run
ming railroad time cards "free"-and
the cards are run because the strug-
Cling sheet wants to fill up space.
then the fraternity had better take
UP collection and buy the poor
suckers supply of plate equal to the
space they will hIl with free time
cards. It is the railroad company's
business to get their time cards be-
fore the public The legitimate news
paper rs one medium through which
these companies can meet this public
demand, and they should pay for their
space the same as the home merchant
Dr. any foreign advertiser does. The
poor, struggling would be newspaper
man who publishes the time card free
pays his good money-if he has any
TO the nonopolistic corporation when
he wishes to so somewhere or he
takes the other horn of the two op-
tons and walks. SO long as he pub
fishes these timecards free he plays
the Sucker" himself and disgraces
the fraternity upon whose outskirts
he IS hanging on in order to exc out
starving existence.

he became dangerous customer, and

In Trouble Last Summer.
O'Connell got into his first trouble
while here, one night last summer,
when with a party of DRINKS, he spent
the night fishing in the river, in the
west part OF the city. The crowd be-
came unanimously drunk, and en-
gagged into a free for all fight, in
which some OF them were hurt quite
badly. No arrests were made at the
time, but Molter told O'Connell that
If such an affair occurred again, he
would refuse to sign his reports. The
paroled man braced up and remained
sober for some time, but being en-
ticed by the scum element began
loading up regularly. The last affair
came on Sunday night of this week
when the above trio met at the home
of one Of the parties and spent the
night drinking and carousing. O'Con-
nell returned 10 the Molter home at
o'clock the next morning in bad
condition. Mohcr then telegraphed

coming arrest O'Connell begged pit
eously to be allowed to remain, but
had done the same thing several
times before. and so he was hand
cuffed and taken back TO serve from
S to years.

O'Connell was originally sent to

near Logansport and consisted of a

drunk. He was sentenced by a Lo-
gansport Judge. The term was two

years he was paroled, only to be re-
turned few months later beause OF
habitual drunkenness. This time is
