As to Lifting" "

It occurs from time to time that
a publisher will find in neigh
boring paper an article which he
himself has either overlooked or,
more likely still, which has not
come to him in the ordinary rou-
tine of news gathering. The i'm
pulse is to "lift" the article, and
the impulse is in most cases follow
ed up by action.
In the matter of news items
that is, speaking strictly of hap
penings of the day or week-such
"lifting" can be excused. In all
other cases, however, "lifting'
without giving due credit is alb
solutely objectionable.
The publisher who "lifts' an
editorial or any other similar ar
ticle in print from his ghbor's
newspaper or any other newspaper
without giving credit is not alone
stealing another mans thoughts,
which is against all ethics of the
newspaper profession, but also lays
himself open to the charge of not

having enough Drains to think for
himself. He is pluming himself
with some one else's feathers; be is
making some one else work for him
and, far from paying for this work
in cash, does not even pay the
worker the respect which is due
every one who has created some
thing, whether it be with hands or
mind.
A case in point occurred recent
ly. The publisher of a certain
paper wrote an admira BILE editorial.
A number of papers in the same
county reprinted the editorial, and
gave credit where credit was due.
Nothing can be said against this
practice, although it is one which
easily becomes habit and lowers
the standing of paper. Even
such reprinting should be avoided
as much as possible. Still another
paper of the same county, however,
reprinted that editorial word for
word and laid it before its readers as
it's own. An honest publisher, of
course, will know without being
told what to think of such action.
1t is bad beyond words.
That is precisely what the orig
inal writer of the editorial thought
and he was not going to look on
while his thoughts we're being
stolen. He went SO far as to offer
reward for evidence concerning
the person who was responsible for
the theft of the editorial.
How much better it is when
editors and publishers in county
and state cooperate for their mu-
tual benefit. Instead of taking
from each other there should be
desire to give, a desire to assist in
every way possible in solving the
many problems that confront the
newspaper publisher in the daily
routine of business. 1t is only by
working together that the safe
guarding of mutual interests can
be accomplished, whether it be in
matters of subscription prices,
charges for job printing, rates for
advertising or the improvement of

Open Up Your Wallet.

The following, from an exchange,

TODAY'S WARSUMMARY

Although recent dispatches have
stated that the Italians have crossed
the lower Isonzo and were rushing for
ward toward Trieste, an announcement
from Rome gave no indication Of q
further advance in this direction.
The situation along the 1sonzo is
dismissed with reference to minor en-,
gagements and a statement that the
Austrian losses have been serious.
Elsewhere along the front small Ital-
ian victories are claimed.
The Italian war office charges Aus
tria with encouragement Of brigand-
age in the territory occupied by Italy.
The extent of the new Austro-Ger-
man victory in Galicia is in doubt, al
though Berlin and Vienna assert that
the whole line along a 4o-mile front
was broken down. 1t is said oniclally
at Petrograd that the Russians recap
tured on Sunday almost all the adj
vance trenches north of Przcmysl lost
Saturday.
Further south successes for the Teu-
tonic forces are acknowledged.
An announcement from the Turkish
war Office claims victory over the
Russians in the trans-Caucasus region.
The Italian invasion Of Trent, wlicb
heretofore has met with little opposi-
tion, is now challenged, an Austrian
force of $4,000 having left Trent yes
terday, advancing against the Italians
Heavy fighting has occurred on the
Isonzo front north of Gulf Of Trieste

cinity of Cora and Gradisca have

LOSES
CASH REGISTER CASE
Supreme Court Refuses to Review and
Antitrust Criminal Prosecution
Fails.

WASHINGTON, June 15-The su-
preme court yesterday declined to re-
view the reversal by the circuit court
of appeals of the conviction of officials
of the National Cash Register company
Of alleged violations of the Sherman
antitrust law. The decision is regard
ed by attorneys of the department Of
Justice as making convictions almost
impossible under the criminal sections
of the antitrust act. The case against
the cash register company was regard
ed by officers Of the department as
about as strong as could be made out
under the criminal provisions of the
statute, and today s denial by the su-
preme court of the writ of certiorari
probably means the end Of the htiga-
tion.
The case was one of the few pronght
under the criminal clauses of the stat
ute. In the district court for the
southern district of Ohio, western di-
vision, the trial resulted in nnes ag-
gregating about $4,000 and varying
terms of Imprisonment for the officers
of the corporation. The case was ap-
pealed to the circuit court of appeals
for the sixth circuit, which reversed
the lower court, and 1t is this decision
Of the court OF appeals that the su-
preme court, by denying a writ yester-
day, practically sustains.
In all q persons were indicted in
the district court on the three counts
of conspiring to restrain trade by un-
fair and oppressive methods of com
petition, of monopolizing the cash reg
ister business by continuing to hold
and carry on the business Of the Ma
| tional Cash Register company as aug
mented by the trade alleged to have
| been unlawfully seized
The circuit court of appeals ordered
| that on the first count as to a conspir-
acy there should be new trial because
Of alleged errors on the part of the
| trial judge in ruling on evidence and
| charging the jury. The other two
counts as to the monopoly were held
by the circuit court to be void, because
they did not constitute an offensc
against the United States.
/ The denial of a writ by the supreme
court, of course, leaves it open to the
| government to press a new trial on tho
first count relating to the alleged con,
spiracy, but the department of Justice
| believes that strong case could not
be built up On that count alone. I'll,
body of the ease has been cut from
consideration by the dismissal of tn,
two counts relating TO the -afiegctf mo
nopoly, and the case. if now pressed
would have to go to retrial on a eharg,
of conspiracy to do something, whiel
in itself has been held to be not il

RUMANIA ACCEPTS
TERMS OF ALLIES
But, According to M. Filipescu Greacc

ROME, June ia despatch to the
Giornalc ID italia from Sofia says:
IN. Filipescu, leader of the Ru-
manian conservatories, declared today
that the quadruple entente powers
Great Britain, France, Russia ana
italy, have agreed to the demands of
Rumania. Therefore, a definite con
elusion Of an understanding for the IN
tervention of Rumania in the war ia
imminent.
Greece and Serbia win send an
identical note to the Bulgarian premier,
NJ. Radoslavoff, and his cabinet deelin-
ing the proposals of the quadruple en-
tente powers for the cession Of Mace
donian territory to Bulgaria"
The correspondent of the Giornale
d Italia adds:
Il am assured that Greece and Ser
bia are sending a note of protest to
the great powers, declaring that it is
impossible on such terms. NJ. Radios
lavoH and his cabinet will use pressure
on Serbia and Greece, because in the
end the conception of the quadruple en-
tente is based on right and q just con,
sideration of national aspirations in the
Balkans must prevail. -
No information has been permitted
to come cut regarding the offers made
by the quadruple entente to Bulgaria,
but the fact that Greece and Serbia
will join in a protest indicates that part
of their eastern provinces has been al
| lotted to their rival. This territory
was kept from Bulgaria following hel
defeat by Greece and Serbia at the enc
! Of their joint war on Turkey.
Bulgaria has listened favorably t.
representatives Of the allies that she
should join in the war against Turkey
| but has refused to come in unless the
regions in Macedonia chiefly inhabited
| by Bulgars should be returned to her.
AS Greece will get part of Albani;
and of Turkey if she enters the wa
and the allies win, and as Serbia viii
| get part Of Austria and an Adriati
outlet, under the plans of the allies, i

afford to give in to Bulgaria.

is apparent that the former president
of Greece, M. Nenizelos, and his fol
lowers have won an overwhelming vic
tory in the Grecian general election.
The latest news shows a majority Of

The British press is of the opinion
that this means d deliberate cholce ON

TO MODIFY RIGORS
OF THE BLOCKADE
England IS Embargo Against the North
Coast Of Europe Will Soon Be
Changed.

WASHINGTON, June Is. - The adj
ministration has been advised informal
lv that Great Britain viii soon modify
the rigors of its blockade against the
north coast of Europe. This informa-
tion has been conveyed to the Presi-
dent through British diplomatic chan
ne1s
The British government unofficially
excuses it's delay in answering this
government S note protesting against
the interference with American com
merco to neutral ports IN Europe, and
says the reply has practically been rea-
dy to despatch to Washington for sew
eral weeks, but that the British foreign
Office felt it would be unwise to give
new life to the controversy while the
German-American situation was at such
a critical stage.
1t is understood this same sentiment
still prevails in the British govern
ment, but that Sir Edward Grey and
the other members of the cabinet have
taken cognizanee of the growing agita-
tion here in favor of a sharp note to
Great Britain, and have decided to
forestall such an exigency, if possible.
by administrative changes in the or
ers-in-counci.
In other words, according to the in
| formation conveyed to the President,
Great Britain in practise will concede
the right of American ships to trade
with neutral countries, as she has al
ready conceded the legal right to do so.
| According to authoritative informa-
| tion4 the receipt of the informal notice
| of Great Britain s intention to change
/ its tactics has not stopped the prepara-
| tion of a note to that government
| Even though within the next few
| days the administration of the British
naval bloc kade should be made more
lenient toward American commerce
destined to such neutral ports as Rot
terdam or Copenhagen, the United
States government has many scores t.
settle with Great Britain
Since the warning sent to Londor
on March 3d. which the British govern
ment has never answered, there have
been many cases where American car
lgoea destined for Danish and Scandina
Wan ports have been and still are de
tanned by the British admiralty.
This warning apparently has had nj
effect and one of the reasons why tn,
note to Great Britain has been so Ion.
in preparation is that the state depart
ment has been instructed to lay befor,
the President a complete history O
leach case Of detention of an American
ship OF cargo. The purpose Of tn
: president was to make strong cas-
{ lout against Great Britain, and upo1
that base a request for immediate as
.suranees that the unlawful interfe1
ence with American commerce shal
Ecease.
