Mrs. Whitley presented an outline OF

It is our desire in Des Moines to

NEWSPAPERS IN THE CRISIS

Answering the question of reader
with tact and courtesy, The Kansas
City Star editorially states that the
w F. Nelson estate has no financial
interest in munitions plants. and that
none of The Stars employees are in
a position to profit by state of war.
We believe the charge was origin
ally made by Mr.. Bryan in his cam
paiSn against preparedness that the
great newspapers of the country wera
in the pay of the munitions makers.
It was not an argument sustained by
evidence, but an appeal 10 prejudice.
II has since been flung at the pa
triotic press by the peace at-any-
price advocates. Socialists, pro-Ger-
mans, filibusterers, until the distin-
guished CCmmoner must fairly be
ashamed of the Man of Straw he Gre
ated.
But after ALL what does it matter?
There he the sentimentalists ard the
Missionaries; there be the shallow and
the credulous; there be the extremists
and the unneutrals who are wont to
fiercelr protest they are the true neu-
trails. 1t is not these who respond to
the doctrines of healthy. sane Amer
leans. 1t is not these whose blood
thrills with a confidence in this ma
tons power, and a belief in this ma
tons mission 1t is not these whose
views are voiced by The Kansas City
Star, the New York Times and thou
sands of other papers who are sus-
tanning our president in his stand for
our country's honor.
