CONTROL OF NEWSPAPERS
BY ADVERTISERS

In an address delivered before the
National Editorial Association, last
week, Ivy Lee defended newspapers
from the charge that they are con
trolled in editorial policies by big
advertisers. Many charges have been
made by muck raking magazines that
such control exists, and the subject
ia worth examination by all interest
ed in a free press.
Probably the cases where advertis'
ers try to dictate political policy are
rare. Big advertisers are not gen
orally very active in politics. They
are devoted to their own business
and care little what a papers poll
tics is, provided it reaches the peo'
pie. A Democrats dollar is Just as
good as Republicans dollar, and
vice versa.
Large city department stores are
vast machines employing low priced
class of labor. A good many inter.
esting news stories could be written
about conditions prevailing in many
Of them, which might not look well
in print. II is natural that the own.
ers of these stores might like to have
the newspapers discuss more innocu.
Gus and distant subjects like the suf-
ferings Of the Belgians.
The ordinary retail store in town
like this presents different conditions.
The clerks live in closer contact with
their employers. and pleasanter and
more human relations prevail. From
the newspaper point of view, there is
no story there that the public would
care to read.
The paper is the best advertising
medium that speaks its mind freely
on public questions. 1t is read with
keener interest. The more people
there are to read its news, the more
there are that read the store news
adjoining. Merchants dislike interior
ing in any way that tends to weaken
the power and scope of the medium
on which they depend for selling of
foiency.

REPORT QUEER INCIDENT

Nogales, Arizona, July 4.-Rein-
forcements to the garrison here were
halted, at least for the present, with
the arrival today OF the last of the
Connecticut infantry which consisted
of the second battalion of the First
and Second regiments. These troops
which went into camp adjoining the
Second California infantry, left Man

Two incidents were reported by the
Connecticut soldiers in crossing New
Mexico. A steel jacketed bullet,
found in car occupied by Second
regiment company led to the belief
that It had been fred by sniper.
The other incident related to the en-
gineer Of the same train who became
unconscious In his seat as the train
was approaching Lordsburg. A wound
was found in the back of his neck.
One OF the enlisted men Of e CON-

THE WAR AND
HOUSEHOLD SERVICE

II is estimated that 100000 house
maids could be laced at once in Am.
erican homes that are clamoring fer
them. Ordinarily the shortage In do
nestle help has been made up from
the throng Of alien girls that come
crowding in from Europe. The war
has cut of this supply. 1t is to many
women what the shortage of chemic'
ais is to the industries.
As the manufacturer has learned
1esourcefulness, so the home mas to
adapt itself to new conditions. Now
is the time for young hands. There
is no good reason why the mothers
should be baking bread while their
daughters are at the parties. What
are all these Home Economics Clubs
but a return to the days of grand
mothers girlhood, when the arts OF
the home were early and easily taught
to the youngsters.
II has been too bad that these
girls, when they grew up. underval'
ned this training, and preferred that
their children should give their time
to pleasures the older ones could not
have. They seemed to place higher
values on slight smatterings of mt
sic, painting. fancy work. and social
polish, than on the higher culture Of
ministering to the needs OF the fam.
fly circle.

does she possess all her charm ana

Verdun-almost qUiescenJ during the Anglo-French offensive in the Somme region--has again become the storm center of the western battle front. The French forces have taken the offensive on the right bank of the Mouse and now hold the Thiaumont work and the greater part of the village of FIeury, according to Paris.
 The Thiaumont work, already the scene of many desperate combats, was twice in French hands during twelve hours on Friday. The forces of the German crown prince fought tena- ciously, driving the French from the work once, but losing it again. Ger man counter-attacks were of no avail, says Paris, and the work remained in the possession of the French,

London says the Germans bOmbarded the section southwest of POzieres and also the southern por- tiOn of the Mametz wood. Desperate cOunter-attacks by the Germans in the region of the Stokho6 river, east of KOvel have resulted in the retirement of the Russian forces which had seized the village of Rudka- a-Niryansskaia- The fact that the village is only nine teen miles from KoveI, the Russian objective in this part of the Volhynian front, probably accounts for the in- tensity of the fighting there.

TO INCREASE sURTAX
 ON $2,oo0,ooo INCOMES.
Amendment to Be introduced in Sen
 ate With That Object.

Washington, Aug. 4-Democrats of the senate finance committee tonight decided to propose an amendment to the special revenue bill increasing the surtaX on incomes in excess of $2.000,- 00O from 10 to IS per cent.

Washington, Aug. 4.-After a con- ference between President Wilson and Judge William L.

 Any immediate action by congress nerce committee tabled a resolution by Chairman Newlands providing for an interstate commerce commission investigation of the hours of labor on railroads and including an appeal to the railroad mana gers and employees to postpone consideration of their differ ences until investigation was com pleted. Favorable action in resolution had been urged by the chamber of commerce of the United States and opposed by representatives of the rail road employees.
 President Wilson was told by Judge Chambers that the mediation and con- ciltatiOn board believed there still was a possibility of avoiding a strike through conferences between the en- plOyers and wOrkmen or through in terventiOn by the board.

FOR PURCHASE OF THE
 DANISH WEST INDIES.
Treaty Signed Yesterday by the
 United States and Denmark.


 Washington, Aug. 4-Purchase by the United States of the Islands St. Thomas, St. CrOix and St. John, lying to the east of Porto Rico, and com prtsing an archipelago known as the Danish West Indies, is provided for in Q treaty signed today by the United states and Denmark. It will be sub nitted at once to the United States senate and the Danish parliament, whose ratidcatiOns ere necessary to complete the purchase agreement.
 No serious opposition is expected in the senate, where action will be sought at the present session. Since the ne gOtations began several months ago the foreign relations committee has been in close touch with developments and it's members are understood to be virtually unanimous in their approval. Senator Lodge, the ranking republican member, issued statement tonight declaring the arguments in favor of this purchase. The outcome Of the Danish parliament is more uncertain, although the expectation here is that the treaty will be accepted. European powers which have wanted possession of the islands for strategic military reasons are not expected to look with favor on the proposed sale to the United States, and they may bring strong pressure to bear at COpen- hagen. It is recalled that failure of a similar purchase treaty in the Danish parliament years ago was attributed to German influence.
 The signing of the treaty took place in New York. Details of the pact will not be made public until it is trans mitted to the senate, at least It is understood to provide, however, for complete acquisition of the islands, but to stipulate that Danish business in terests there shall be guaranteed pro lection. A clause also is included ceding to Denmark the undefned American rights of discovery in Greenland, a Danish possession.
