TO CONTROL THE DAILY PRESS.

The great monopoistic corporations, under the influence of
Young j. T. Morgan, are declared to have devised ways and means
for controlling the leading daily newspapers of the country anil
through them and with their cooperation to place the hand of the
trust on the smaller daiies.
Perhaps You may notice now and then that the big trusts are
using the advertising columns of the daily newspapers to quite an
extent. But the advertising columns nave not been sufficient. They
are reaching now after the control of the editorial and news csl.
umns. according to Congressman Galway of California.
We reproduce his statement In the national house of representa-
tWes, which may be found on pages 1920 and 1921 of the Con
gressional Record for February 8, 1917.
The conspiracy which this congressman assumes to disclose is
startling in its nature, The daily paper that you receive into your
home may or may not be a part and parcel of the machinery of
these conspirators.
Your chief clue concerning whether it is or whether it ism t
will have to be your own intelligence, for the ingenious newspaper
writers are able to cover their unholy designs with a mass of
matter that may appear genuine on its face.
Hence, watch the general tenor of your daily newspaper. Your
intelligence will tell you whether it has the interests of the people at
monopohsts.

ducer gets and what the consumer pays is too great. 1t applies With
equal force to John D. Rockefelers Standard Oil commodity and
the output of many other monopoies.
The day of reckoning is coming, albeit it may be far away.

 REVISED

LONDON, Dec. IA letter from Marquis Lansdowne strongly pleads for a revision of the allies war aims and urges that the allies attempt to secure peace before the war ruins civilization and the world. He said the allies shouldn't desire to annihil- ate Germany as a great power, neith- CT should they attempt to impose upon the Germans form of govern ment against their choice. Lans- downe is typical representative of the old Tory party. The Evening News says Bonar Law declared the letter was a disaster" Most of the newspapers denounced the speech, and the Daily Mail heads it's editorial White Flag"

 DATELESS.-The British and Ger mans continue in desperate struggle along Bourbon, Fonatine and Notre Dame front. The British are trying to advance toward Cambrai and the Germans are attempting to hold them up with counter attacks. The posi- tons along the line changed hands repeatedly in furious fighting. The German efforts to gain dominating elevation of Bourbon woods failed. The British war office says the Ital- ian crisis has passed. The Germans in their new attacks show that their early vigor is gone.
