ART YOUNG.-It may seem
strange to some people why Mr..
Hearst should take the trouble to de-
vote his editorial column to knock

Art Young is one of the most IA

who refuses to prostitute his talents
in the interest of Mr.. Hearst and Big
Business. He not only declines to
wear Hearst's collar and chain, but
also defies the Associated Press gang
and cartoons them in a manner
which causes them to make him the
defendant in libel proceedings. After
they have had time to cool off and
stop seeing red, then think it over and
decide to drop the case for abvious
reasons. Then Art Young rubs it in
on them with another cartoon.

manhood and join Hearst's gang of
prostitute artists and cartoonists and
turn out pictures according to
Hearst's orders he would be labeled
