part do present the truth. Bit the cold
plain truth is that within the last year
some of oar greatest newspapers have
deliberately entered into campaign TO
deceive and prejudice the people OF the
country upon some Of the great public
questions OF the day.
The attempt by these great newspa

poses, intent and scope OF the recent
t3rln law enacted by congress and signed
by Mr., Taft has no parallel in American
history. The Indictment stands that
these newspapers made concerted effort

hands Of congress, and, falling TO secure
all that they desired in this regard they
started the movement TO lie about and

With regard to tho endowment OF a ma

newspaper. | would say that very likely
some OF the great phianthropists might
consider that they were doing the public
a service by such endowment The peo-
pie. however would take but little In
tercst In such a newspaper, rs having
small or no relation TO their daily lives
and concerns
And the more such II paper was made
ideal from the most elevated philanLhrop.c
standpoint. the less the people would care
FOR it. The cndowmcn; OF the newspaper
will probably include it's free circulation
among those who were engaged in altru-
istic enterprises; N so it would have moro
or less OF n circulation. but its Influence
would necessarily he very small among
the people NJ large.
