A Last Word in Regard to Calculations

The World Herald, knowing that IT has
no reputation for veracity, is making a
frantic effort to get some reputable mer-
chant to put the stamp of a good reputa-
tlon on its circulation.
The fact that one of It's advertising solic-
itors circulated the petition begging for the
few signatures obtained and the fact that
Hayden Bros. have repudiated their Sig
nature, which was published by the World
Herald, shows how far they are in need
1t is to be hoped that the World-Herald
has gotten its records into better shape
than when, but a few years ago, 1t sub
mitted a list OIL it's alleged subscribers TO
the city council to show 5000 paid sub
scriptions in Omaha, required by law, Tor
the official paper. 1t is a matter OF record
Of the city council, afterward reviewed
by the district court, and is matter or
court record that the World-Herald was
unable to submit a list Of 5000 paying sub
scrIbers, and that the list which they did
submit, contained names Of people who were
proved to be not subscribers TO the world
Herald: that addresses were included
where no one lived, and of people VINO had
moved away. II also transpired that the
footings submitted were raised above the
number Of the actual names on the lists.
1t Is no wonder that such a publication
needs this sort of help.
As for The Bee circulation, every adVer-
tiser has always had standing invita-
ton to investigate, and all books bearing
on circulation may be examined by the ad-
vertisers at any time
II takes no expert TO understand The
Bees bookkeeping, because nothing Is
juggled or concealed.
The Bee does not propose, however 10
let representatives OF competing news
papers paw over its books and accounts
any more than Hayden Bros would let
the Brandeis go into their invoices and
customers accounts or the Hartman Fur
niture company would give the Peoples
store access to its contracts.
