rIcHr.wAD DAILY NEWSPAPERS.

From the cambridge Post-Searehlight.
If the chamber of commerce, news bu-
reaus and other such organizations of the
cities of Atlanta and Savannah who are
constantly calling on the country papers
to aid them in publicity would call on their
papers, which think so little of the weekles
that they won't exchange with them, they
would find out why said weeklies don't
give a darn whether they use it or not,
We had daily to send us a bunch Of
'bulP' this week worth twenty dollars that
they wanted us to publish for their city and
this same daily is SO darned economical that
they don't exchange with us. Of course;
we published ton the corner of the waste
basket, and that city lost some good boosting.
because they had cheap set Of dailies do
ing business for them.
The Savannah Press, The Macon Tele-
graph and News seem to be the only ones
that still value the weeklies at other times
than when they wish to use them
The Atlanta papers are costing Atlanta
lots of publicity by their penurious methods
Their recent dago singing got comparatively
no publicity from the weeklies for this very
reason.

ROOSEVELT TO FRANCE

The recent action of both houses of con-
gress authorizing the sending of Roosevelt
and his volunteer army to France is not
looked upon with as much favor after as
before it was given first glance.
1t is a political move pure and simple.
Would not his 1920 presidential aspirations
be given a boost with "Teddy's war record
in the French trenches fresh in the public
mind?
The general staff has worked out a COM
prehenslve military program for the United
States based on selective conscription, and
If that program is to be muddled by Mr..
Roosevelt and other ambitious civilians who
wish to raise troops of their own the whole
military establishment will soon be in a state
of inextricable confusion. This staff is di-
rectly responsible for the operations of the
army 1t is composed of trained soldiers. TN
less its judgment is to be respected in such
questions as that raised by the Roosevelt
issue the government might as we'll abolish
West Point, stop educating army officers
and leave all technical military affairs to
civilian politicians who have influence in
congress.

GRATING THE NEWSPAPERS.

The newspapers will not charge Uncle
Sam for the publicity for which he so freely
crafts them. They will grumble little, no
doubt. if they are compelled to pay the in
creased postage rate, and they will COM
oIain loudly, bitterly and justly if Uncle
Sam, advertising CRATER, places tax upon
newspaper patrons who pay for their ad
vertising, but they will continue to fall for
Uncle Sans smooth ways, and give him a
lot of free publicity just the same. And,
then, every little while some small bore per-
son who happens, through the absent-mind-
edness of the voters of his district or state,

august body and howl about the newspa-
pers bringing on the war to enable them to
make enormous profits therefrom

THE LIBERTY"

The public should not be misled by opti-
mistic reports concerning the cordial recep-
ton of the 100000 'liberty'' loan
now being offered as the first section of the
authorized $1,000, 900, 900 war loan While
It Is not unreasonable to assume, as the
treasury department does, that the first sec
lion of the loan will be over-subscribed it
must be remembered that the popular assim-
zlatlon of the loan will remain to be effected.
Most of the subscriptions, or at least
many of them, have been made by banks
with the intention of passing along the
bonds to the public. The big loan, or any
part of it, cannot really be considered a
success until the bonds have been spread
out pretty thin among private interests.
After they have passed out the present of
ferlngs the banks will be in shape to take
on similar consignment of the second sec
zion of the great loan when it is offered a
few weeks later These bonds also will be
destined to find resting places in the safe
W deposit vaults of individual investors.
The banks can and will hold a consider
able share of the new government bonds if

over the bonds as rapidly as they were is
sued by the treasury department. This
would leave the banking resources of the
country free to meet further demands for
war financing or for meeting the financial
demands of business and agriculture.
A government at war needs the financial
support of its people as urgently as it needs
their military and industrial support. When
country goes to war nowadays it goes tt
war with its money and its commerce a.
we'll as with its army and navy.

OUTRAGEOUS ROBBERY.

MIR. Herbert C. Hoover, the governments
GOOD specialist, has given statement to the
press which is more than an indictment of
The food Spectator.
The American farmer, says Hoover, did
not realize more than $3.50 bushel for his
wheat last year, yet to-day the -four made
from that wheat is selling at $1,000 bar
rel, and is on its way to $4,000. Further,
there is no shortage of wheat in this coun-
try On the contrary, there is a surplus
of 5O,O00OOO to 70,0O0,OOO bushels of
wheat "beyond our ordinary consumption,
and beyond the needs of our allies before
next harvest comes in"
So, there is no occasion for food panic,
40 occasion for the present outrageous
prices, declares this authority But the panic
IS here, the outrageous prices are here. Our
statesmen talk good deal, but they don't
act.
The average man thinks those statesmen
ought to act. The average man wonders, at
times, if the gentlemen in high places at
Washington have any notion at all of what
$1,000 -four means in the ordinary level of
life. The average man asks himself if those
gentlemen at Washington cannot look out
past the horizon of their comfortable cir
cumstanceS and see what those extortionate
prices are doing in the homes of the peo-
pie.

THOSE STINGY DAILIES.

from the cambridge Searchlight which may
be unpleasant reading to some of the daily

quest that it be printed as "news," is the
