JUSTICE TO NEWSPAPERS.

The bureau Of publicity of the treas
ury department has issued bulletin in
which we note the following;
"The United States is financing itself
in this war by loans and taxes. 1t OBJ
tains funds from the people. some by
taxation and some by the sale OF bonds,
and then it goes into the markets and
buys from the people what it needs. The
people supply the government with
money and the government with this
money buys from the people what it
needs for the var
This is, indeed, true or nearly so. The
government pays the railroad and steam
ship companies, telegraph. cable, mes
senger, telephone and all lines of bust
ness that render service to it excepting
only the newspapers. From the news
papers, the government seems to expect
full and costly service as donation
or contribution.
One senator recently stated that a
newspaper which did not supply the free
use of its columns to the government
was a Stacker and copperhead. While
we may not assume this to be the gen
eral view, nevertheless it is true that
nearly every department of the govern
ment seems to be laboring under the
impression that all of the enterprises
that have a service to sell. the news
papers alone is the one from which il
has perfect right to commander a
free service
Now il is proposed to put on an inn
mense campaign to insure the success
of a second Liberty Loan. The first loan
was successful almost entirely as the
result of advertising practically all free
advertising, Now that the news
papers humbly suggest that little coin
of the realm would be appropriate, they
are roundly abused for lack of patriot
ism.
Congress has singled out the news
