"t winter Thursday. with snow
falling from carly morning. On the
business streets, it melted almost as
fast as it fell, and made the walking
slippery and uncomfortable. In the
evening the earth WAS entirely blank

everyone who was out the appearance

however, especially to the merchants
who say that business will pick up as

NEWS GARBLER HEARST.

Usually when Hearst is caught at
his practices of journalistic fakery he
accepts the fact cynically, and goes
on his way, saying nothing and trust
ing to the shortness of the public's
memory, says the New York Tribune.
But this instance was too notorious,
Silence would not serve Across the
length and breadth of this country the
news was published that the Hearst
service had been excluded, for cause,
from Great Britain 1t smoked
Hearst out, for once. And what was
his defence? By curious coincidence,
it was the same as that subsequently
proffered by Cohalan, Dewey, OLeary
and the other pro-Germans whose ac-
tivities have come into the light of
day. A British plot! The base and
cunning English were Furnishing Mr.
Hearst most unjustly, because, for
sooth. he was telling the truth, which
Hand. Because he would not accept
| land. Because re would not accept
the British governments own pre-
pared news. but preferred to give his
readers history from that pure font OF
Journalism indebted, the Hearst ser
vice. this was his martyrdom!
And here is the categorical charge
against the Hearst prosecutors, pub
lished in the New York American Of
October II, 1916.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

While this is very largely and off
LII .ical year, tn e:e are some states
that will send the voters to the polls
to determine questions of state policy
on different matters.
Naturally there is a great deal of
interest in the Greater New York cleo
ton. The Mitchell and anti-Mjtchell
fight overshadows the contest ever
woman suffrage and other proposed
refoms that are statewide in their
sore. Mayor Mitchell is having a
nuch harder fight than he had when
he was first elected as the leader
of the Fusinists. The contest in New
York for mayor is between Mitchell
and Hylan, the Democratic-Tamma
! candidate Bennett, who won the
Republican nomination by fiuke, and
| the too cnck-sureness of the support
ers of Mitchell in the primary, has no
chance of election, nor has Hilquitt,
the Socialist, but their votes will be
enough to defeat one of the remaining
| candidates. AS the time for the elc-
ton draws nearer it semms more
probable that Mitchell will succeed
in defeating Hylan.
The women of the east are much
interested in the New York state cleo
ton, because the equal suffrage ques-
question for the state is to be deter
mined at the polls this year. II the
women win the ballot in New York
state they will have great victory
to their credit We do not expect
them to win-as much as we would
like to have them do so-because we
do not think New York, at this time
| and under the present conditions, is
ready to- brong about such revolu
tionary condition as giving the women
the ballot would bring about.
Next to New York the greatest in
terest in a state election for Tuesday
will be found in Ohio, because the
prohibition question is the big one
there. The Ohio voters are also to
cast ballots, either for or against
equal suffrage, \ but the liquor quest

up" in the Hearst papers. II was
first class ''Hearst stuff,' being cal
culated to arouse that class of Irish
American extremists to whom Hearst
was catering, to enhearten the pro
Germans and to SOW doubt in the pub
lie mind as to England's continued
| competency in the war All this the
| plain facts themselves might in some
| measure have served to do. Plain
| facts, however, were not enough for
Mr.. Hearst. He needed something
stronger. So his new service made it
to order. On April IS, 1916, this
heavy typed heading appeared in The
New York Journal:
Lord Lieutenant Taken by Rebels
According to Rumor",.
The alleged dispatch upon which
this was based contained this state
Hlelt:
Some anxiety was felt here over
the whereabouts of Lord Wimbourne
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, although
no advice had been received up to the
time the dispatch was written to i'll
dictate that he was in any danger"
This was published with the date
line by International New Service
(the Hearst Cable Service). London,
April &C." That is, it was circulated
to the American public as bona fide
cable dispatch from the International
News (Hearst) Service in London.
1t was deliberate fake.
No such statement was filed by the
International News Service in London.
No such message was passed by the
censor or was transmitted from Lon
don
The message was fabricated by the
Hearst organization in America
The London correspondent of the
International News Service, when
called upon for an explanation, stated
that he sent no such message There
upon the New York manager of the
International News Service was invited
to explain, ana confessed that the
false statements were in part written
in the Hearst newspaper office in New |
York and in part inserted by the New
York office fthe International News |
Service.
In this case, and in the face of the |
by his own employe, will |
Mr.. Hearst maintain that 'the British |

The man who attempts to profiteer

approval Of the Food Administra-

profits realized for the same price
prior to the war. The sales price
must in every case be cost plus
the recognized profit, and in any
handler who violates. tn esprit
of the regulations will lose his
license to do business.
This means that staples pur-

We do not believe there is any sane
or righteous man who can object to
the governments plan of regulating
food prices during the war.
Call it "paternalism,' call it mo

just plain business proposition, the
plan of making dealers sell at cost
plus a reasonable profit is just.
When this government calls on it's
people to sacrifice their young man.
hood, their dollars, their energy, their
time to help win the greatest war a
nation ever entered, it calls on sacri-
flee from all alike.
It does not presuppose in this call
that there shall be few smarter or
more powerful than the rest who will
reap a golden harvest from the sweat
wrug dollars of the general mass OF
patriotic citizens; it does not pre-
suppose that out of the possible scar
city of one shall be tolled for the ben
eft Of another more than the lawful
toll measure; it does vnot suppose
that because men must eat and wear
clothing that the price Of these things
is a legitimate shuttlecock for them
to keep sending skyward.
