TIL: PUBLICITY CRAZE.

Another ideal "uplift" measure. de-
signed To shed light into all the dark
placcs. has been introduced in con-
.,.css iy Representative l'arnhart of
Indiana. 1t is an amendment to the
postal appropriation bill compelling
every newspaper in the country to
publish in some prominent place the
names of its owners stockholders.
and managing editors Any ape
falling 10 comply will be barred from
;he use of the United States mails.
Here VIC have another of those
hills, introduced so frequently Of late.
which are all right in themselves, hut
simply do not go far enough. ManaS-
ING editors arc hard working men and
entitled TO any little publicity that
might como To them as Il result OF
their cndeaVors. bur why his dis
elimination against the reporters?
The reporters will become rccalcit-
rant unless their names are printed
in a conspicuous place, too.
And why should the newspapers
publish merely the names of tho
wners. stockholders. and managing
editors? Why should the office devil
be permitted to remain under cover?
1t may be that the devil is a relative
of ]. Pierpont Morgan and is using
tremendous influence to keep his
uncle from being called as a witness
before the Stanley steel investigating
committee. Frequently the devil car
ries copy of important stories into
the composing room. What is to stop
him from dropping a story about his
uncle down n rat hole? Let the
devils name be published with the
Others. so that responsibility may be
fixed definitely.
If it is the purpose Of Representa-
tive Barnhart to get at the Inter

pers.
The defect in Mr.. Barnhart's
amendment is very plain. He is in
sisting on the publication of the
o list. 1t is no secret that there
are certain interests" behind every
newspaper. These interests are the
reading public. Mr.. Barnhart may
think it is easy to fool the public. but
the public knows better. The policy
of the average newspaper is framed
more by its readers than by any 9TH
er individuals. If congress wants to
"get at" the interests back of some
of the newspapers. all that is neces-
sary is to get hold Of the subscription
books. But to print the list of SUBJ
scribcrs each day will leave no room
for the news.
Probably the day will come when
