Lamar Lduds Clean Newspaper

Newspapers which, like The Times,
refuse the advertising of quacks and
swindlers and give publicity TO the
fraud orders and other efforts Of the
government to clip the wings of these
human birds of prey, are praised in
the annual report CT w. II. Lamar,
solicitor Of the postofflce department,
Just made public.
During the year ending June 80 last
IS fraudulent concerns were put out
OF business by the department. Many
OF them were medical quacks whose
operations were brought TO the atten-
ton OF the government by the ex'
posures published by newspapers.
Quacks Rely on Advertising.
However much the public may APP
preciate the work done in excluding
fraudulent concerns from the mails.
and however much the advertising
agents and publishers may realize the
justice Of II, the fact remains that
these concerns do pay an enormous
amount for advertising" Solicitor La
mar says. "In fact, that Is by far
their greatest expense. In one case
the evidence showed that several hun
dred thousand dollars had been paid
for advertising during a period OF
Is months, as high as $4,000 having
been paid In a single month. and II
was developed In a number Of cases
that fabulous amounts have been
spent for this purpose.
1T will be readily seen, therefore,
that the financial interests OF some
publications will be seriously affected
by the loss OF this class OF advertising
if the loss is not made up In another
way. and II is not expected that hearty
cooperation can be enlisted at once
from all publishers.
Praise for Clean Newspapers.

yet to hear OF any civil or criminal
action being attempted against them

clerk that William won the Inter
