Takes a Shot at the Press

Martinsburg, April Char.
acterizing the Associated Press
as a gigantic monopoly operated
for selfish and unlawful purposes
and likening the newspapers OF
the country to the saloons in their
power for evil, Federal Judge
Aston G. Dayton today deliver
ed the most bitter denunciation
of the liquor traffic and the press
ever heard from the bench of
West Virginia.
The saloons make drunkards
of your sons and prostitutes OF
your daughters" declared Judge
Dayton, and next to the sa-
looms, the tyranny of the press is
the greatest evil and menace to
our country.
Judge Dayton was delivering his
charge to the federal grand jury,
and his words created a profound
impression in the court room.
The Associated Press" said
judge, lis a gigantic monopoly
in its own selfish purpose and
end. 1t sends broadcast O
many newspapers articles of per-
verified character and seeks to
impress upon the public false o.
pinions Of men in all the walks of
life. BY its unfair and unjust
methods many public men are
maligned and go down in their
graves with the bitter knowledge
that they are misjudged by mil
lions Of their countrymen.
Judge Dayton cited the case of
the late Rear Admiral Sampson
as an illustration Of his meaning.
Next to the saloon the great
est evil in the country is the
newspaper" declared the in
censed judge, Instead of tell
ing the truth and being fair and
just the newspapers are today
printing stuff unfit to read, fill

rich and poor and sending broad
cast the sickening details of the
love affairs of old men and young

Because Of his Dignity

A young man is detained at
his business one Saturday night
somewhat later than usual
When he reaches home his wife
catechizes him as to where he
has been. He stands on his dig
nifty and refuses to explain. His
wife, he argues. should have too
much confdenceEin him to ask.
She frets for two days :and then
commits suicide.
This is tame little tragedy re-
corded by yesterdays newspa-
pers, 1t would be of only the
slightest public interest were it
not for some general prevailing
opinions and ideas of whose nat
ural consequences it seems to be
a strong example. These are
days when every man is under
suspicion and every woman is
us1iciod'. The dogma of in
grained masculine wiekedness
has been so energetieally exploit
ed by sensationalists of all sorts
that she would be a very young
wife indeed who had not been
caught In the abominabIe conta-
gion. Every husband or near
ly every one is on the defensive,
and ne can afford to keep no mo-
ment of his life secluded from
uxorial inquisition.
Beside, the average young
woman of today has and extra
ordinary well developed sense of
her own superiority, She has e.
Eliminated the word obey from
the marriage service as respects
herself and Is only too apt to for
get the other party to the con-
tract. While she revolts against
any interference with her own
she not infrequently undertakes
to dictate and supervise those of
her lesser half.
Perhaps, sooner or later, the
present hysteria will die out, and
men will cease to be regarded as
inevitable monsters Of sin. New
