London, May l5.-German activities
have shifted in part to the Champagne

French gained much ground by ter.

"a HOUR BRIBERY ETHICAL

"The publisher who prints politica
advertising-at price-and-a-half OF
two prices-and then devotes editoria
space to the pleasant task Of ridicul'
ing said advertising is neither good
sportsman nor good business man.
Rutland Herald.
Whats the meaning Of this, any
way? Does The Herald really believe
that paying for an advertisement is
equivalent to purchasing control OF
the newspaper ? Looks as if the shoot
ing Of holes through some Of the po-
litical advertising The Herald is in
terested in has made someone kind Of
peevish, or else mighty queer code
of newspaper ethics is to be intro
duced." st. Adams Messenger.
"The Messenger leaps so nimbly to
this attack that one suspects the hit
target or the fitted coat. The Herald
is interested in no advertising except
what comes into its counting room
from a responsible advertiser, but it
does believe in fair play.
when a political candidate inserts
an advertisement, The Herald gives
him his day in court, makes no COM
ment on the subject-matter of the
advertising and confines its comments
to fair criticism Of the arguments
at some later date.
There are newspapers in Vermont
who ask twice their usual commercial
rate for political advertising, and yet
whose counting rooms and editorial
sanctums are so close together that
they will not permit candidate or
political club to have day in court
without ridiculing and belittling the
subject-matter Of their advertising.

price for their space for political adj

will be greatly benefited and are to
be congratulated upon the return to
the university of Maj. Frank Temp

Maj. Tompkins went to Norwich in
1910 and was there three years. He
was captain at that time but since
then has been promoted to the rank Of
Major and has been in active service
on the border and in Mexico also all
the time since. He was wounded two
or three times and he was finally in
valided back to the States and after
getting out Of the hospital he returned

fend this type Of ethics. Rutland
Herald
The Messenger certainly will not
defend a code of "ethics" which will
permit of the surrender Of the contro
of the editorial columns of a news
paper even for one day or fraction
thereof to any candidate or political
club, just because such candidate OF
political club has seen fit to use the
newspaper as a means of getting his
claims before the people.
II newspaper editor desired to
write an editorial against the use OF
cigarettes or Of intoxicating liquors
should he be restrained just because
on that day the American Tobacco Co.
or some distillery house was using the
columns of the newspaper to advertise
its wares? The answer, of course, is
no.
Now it is no different with political
advertisements. Must a newspaper
forever hold its tongue if some candi-
date or political club wants to keep
an advertisement standing, to be run
day after day? Not much. The Her
AIDS new insertion in the code of
newspaper ethics does not stand the
test of even superficial examination.
And talking about the editorial and
counting rooms being close together,
The Herald most unconsciously gave
itself away in its original paragraph
when it talked about complete free
dom in the editorial sanctum being not
a good indication of sound business
sense!
Given that newspaper has readers
of average intelligence, the political
advertiser need not fear what may be
said about his advertisement in the
editorial columns, provided, Of course,
that what he advertises will stand the
test of truthfulness and honesty.
On the other hand, if the advertise
ment is made up Of half truth, I'M
founded insinuations, and unworthy
claims it may need "a hours Of i'm
munity in order to get start on the
truth if it is going to have even a
fictitious value. With such advertis-
ing it undoubtedly would be charity
for the newspaper to keep its mouth
shut.
The Messenger hopes it has made
itself plain to its Rutland contempor-
airy. To sum up, it does not believe
that political advertising gives the
or his political club any con-
troll Of the newspaper whatsoever, not
even for the "a hours for which The
Herald argues. II it is ethical to sell
out for "a hours it is ethical to sell
out for "a months. The ethics of a
thing is in the doing or the refraining
from doing. II is as reprehensible to
receive a bride on Monday as it is on
Tuesday. II The Herald is able to
make it out differently The Messen-
ger, and thousands of others, would |
ike to read the explanation.-St. Al
bans Messenger.

Allen NJ. Fletcher and Gov. Gates both

all that they put forth as an argument
why Senator Page should not be re-

ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

bir. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody, but has merely portrayed
the errors Of the present Admtnistra-
ton and set forth certain principles
on which the affairs of the country
should be managed in the future.
There is political logic in this por-
trayal, the elimination of which in the
mind of the voter is expressed by the
frequent remark:
He is the kind of man we want to
steer us through"
This has been said by many bust
ness man. The qualities seen in Mr..
Hughes are poise, a strong, sane mind,
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political, TO the good
of the country. Nor is there any ques-
ton as TO the quality of nerve to meet
the emergencies of the four years be-
ginning March 4, 1917.

Buying and Using Fertilizers" by
Robert M. Salter, w. Va, Elk
pertinent Station

The vital Importance OF fertilizers
on the soil, and the great need of
knowing just what kinds of soil, with
the various agricultural and vegetable
crops. is too generally known to most
farmers and fruit growers to need
discussion, but all, in fact very few
are technically posted to the extent of
not needing some advice, and to these
we suggest a most valuable publica-
ton, a small booklet, just issued by
the West Virginia Agricultural Expert
ment station, Morgantown, which can
be had for the asking by anyone in
terested in soil culture.
The work, coming in are regular
series of publication from the expert
ment station, is entitled, Buying and
Using Fertilizers" prepared by Rob
ert NJ. Salter, head of the department
of soils, and is said by some of the
most expert farmers of the eastern
panhandle to be a work of exceptional
merit, covering rather full and most
intelligently the important subjects
set out in the title.
