The Ethics Of Giving a Hearing to

To the Editor OF The Republican:
should be glad if you could find
space in your columns to explain the
principle which governs your paper
In the acceptance OF advertisements.
On Monday, April %. under the
head Special Notices you began
publishing two columns OF campaign
matter furnished by the Massachu-
sets Roosevelt committee. This
matter, if true gives the lie to much
that you have said edtorially in this
campaign. and II the matter is false,
1t has for its purpose the misleading
OF the people On your editorial
page you have constantly pictured
the ex.president as dangerous de-
magog, and you have indicated your
belief that his reelection would be
national calamity. But in your ad-
vertising pages you are allowing the
candidacy OF this dangerous demagog
to be urged by arguments that you
profess to believe specious, and by
statements that you seek to prove
untrue.
Moreover, you must expect these
advertisements to result in some
! benefit to the advertisers This is a
corollary from the business PROPOSE
ton that advertising pays. In this
instance. IL must mean that II you
have confidence In the success Of
your advertisements, you must ex-
pect some OF your readers will be

with the offer of this matter which
seems to you to be a mass of lies
designed to mislead the people and
to bring about a national calamity?

The Chamer of Commerce is on the
point of instituttng an Investigation Of
the telephone service and rates in
Washington with a view to determin-
ing the advisability Of taking steps to
induce an independent telephone com
pany to establish a service in this city.
A. Leftwich Sinclair, chairman of the
law and legislation committee, today
appointed a subcommittee of twelve to
consider such a suggestion made to
President James F. Oyster by Frank q.
Campbell, washington attorney. A
meeting of the subcommittee is expected
to be called early next week.
The subcommittee is In possession of
Mr.. Campbell's letter and OF a letter
from d. s. +. Porter, manager of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company. IN which he answers the let
Mr.. Campbell maintains that the pres
ent telephone service In washington
seems to be reasonably good, "only be-
cause we do not know Of anything bet
ter"
'The service I have in mind Is that
maintained in Columbus, Ohio" he says,
"and in fact throughout most Of the
middle Western cities. These companies
maintain automatic telephones. The user

What Is more to the point, residence

nearly every household has a tele-
phone and you can reach practically
anybody you want"
Mr.. Campbell thinks that the con-
ditions at least Justify an inquiry by
the chamber into the question Of the
service and rates of the company
here, for such an inquiry may lead to
the determination to seek such a serv-
ice as he tells Of in Columbus.
Mr.. Porter, for the telephone COM
pany, frankly admits that the District
win have a public service commission
which will institute a searching investi-
cation into the matter, and expresses
himself that the rates will be found
reasonable.
