A TINE FOR

This is a time for Congress to be
prudent. Under the guise of "imme-
date preparedness" and pleading the
stress of military necessity, there will
be many proposals advanced for the
taking over of munition works, ship
yards, steel foundries and the like;
for the Communicating of their pro-
ducts; and for their management un-
der government control.
In all this there will be endless op-
p~ortunity for the introduction of
'jokers" which may commit the
United States to an unlimited pro-
gram of government ownership
which will continue long after any
military necessity and which would
entail a complete change in our gov
ernmental operations and in the es-
sential character of the national de-
velopment.
The administration and the domi-
nant party in Congress have already
shown a strong tendency toward so
~cialistic ventures of this sort. The
government armor-plate plant-whieh
is now to be stretched to cover the
making of projectiles as well the
government nitrate plant, the ship
ping bill, the Lewis telephone bill,
are indicative of the purposes of some
eminent Democratic leaders in time
of peace; and the warlike crisis of
today will give a decided FLIP to THEN
activities.
We should not legislate in haste IN
order to repent at leisure. There is
none too much time between now
and the fourth of March-but there
is time enough to pass all the needed
legislation which the present situa-
ton demands; especially if Congress
will devote itself unreservedly to the
problems which the diplomatic break
with Germany entails. II, however,
the administration continues to insist
upon the completion of a controverted
program of domestic legislation when
foreign affairs are so pressing, we
shall be likely to see a congestion OF
measures which will leave the coun-
try in no better condition for defense
than it has been since August. 1914.
The menace of wal must not be
made the excuse for the speedy pass
age either of domestic legislation
which is backed by no necessity and
by no specially widespread demand,
or of socialistic proposals masque-
rading as war measures.

GRAYSON

DR.. Cary Grayson shows no dispo-
sition to relieve the President of the
burden of his nomination to be real
admiral-which nomination seems to
be very definitely hung up in the
Senate, for this session at least. 1t
would be graceful in Grayson to make
it known that he is willing to wait
for his promotion in the regular line
of duty. But, having, as is rumored,
intrigued for the plum for months, it
is not likely that he will perceive this
way out of his present ~predicament.

FALSE PKETENSES.

1t has long been recognized fact
that the newspaper publisher who Sc
cures advertising on the basis of a
circulation he did not possess was
guilty OF obtaining money under false
pretenses. but it has often been "A very
difficult undertaking to punish this
sort OF crime. An interesting report
comes from Wilson. y. c.. showing
where one publisher was actually
found guilty and was properly penal
lied for the deed. It may not bee that
anyone in Tulsa viii undertake to ad.
minister the same kind OF lesson tn
any publisher, but we have no doubt
1t could be profitably applied should
anyone undertake the prosecution
The fact Is that until recently II was
quite general practice to estimate
circulation, taking pains to put the
figures high enough, when reaching
out after advertising business. but the
public conscience has been aroused 1t
late years and conscientious publish
ors have gone to work 10 meet the
demand by giving the actual figures
and swearing TO their correctness The
advertiser has Just as much right to
demand that he get what he con
tracts for as the purchaser Of any
other commodity.
a. Roscower, publisher of the
Headlight at Goldsboro. y. c., claimed
his circulation was G.s5O and secured
contracts from nationally known
agency upon the strength of those
figures. Investigation revealed that
his actual circulation was less than
one thousand A representative of
the agency and the local postmaster
were the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion, the defendant making denial Of
tho charge. but declining to 20 on
tho stand in his own behalf After an
hours dcliberation the jury returned
n verdict Of guilty Tho Judge as
sessed n fine of $500 and costs. the
publisher being required for the
period of one year TO carry at the
masthead OF his paper the actual cir
culation figures and to give bond for
the faithful performance Of this or
der. II is interesting to learn that a
conviction can be had for this form
of false pretenscs and publishers who
are consciontlously certifying TO their
circulation will rejoice that this hoary
fraud is amenable to legal restraint

ticc will inform you as our fellow

sell their publication If they would
be liberal and let the owner of the
above title sell said Daily World
newspaper. They said" (referring to
the Page works) that unless re
stricted my business to said Demo-
crat, that our relations would cease.
Il. therefore, hereby sever all
friendship and commercial news husi-
ness relations with the Democrat"
The original, written on a large
