SECRETARY or WAR BAKER is asking
newspaper publishers Of the country to
get it into the heart of business men
that it is a crime to make more out of
the war than normal profit" This
is only one of scores of appeals to news
paper publishers from federal head
quarters OF some kind to keep busy in
circulating information, needs, patriot
ism, etc, for the success OF the coun-
try in this war Of war The idea ia
right and request reasonable. Every
body should do all in their power to
cheer and strengthen the government
and at the same time make it as easy
for all as possible The newspaper pub
fishers are doing all this freely and as
periodically Ms any class that can be
named but why does congress want TO
double and quadrupe the publishers
postage rate to circulate the informa-
ton and patriotism so much desired by
ether government officials? Something
has been said before now about riding
q free horse to death.

Although the Western Passenger
association has been in session in Chi

cial club of Omaha has had no word
of a contemplated readjustment of
tourist passenger rates for eastern
points as between Kansas City and
Omaha.
The club has for a year worked dill
gently with the railroad people in the
hope that the discrimination in favor
of Kansas City in this respect might
be eliminated. Omahans were given
to understand that the matter would
be taken up at the conference of the
Western Passenger association which
is now going on i'll Chicago,

fc bureau Of the Commercial club,
was in Chicago at this conference dur
ing the early part Of the week, but
it is understood here that he got no
assurance whatever that the matter
would be looked after at this time.
