Make Criticism Help
Win War, Is Appeal

PARkERSBURG, w. Va, Feb. 90
Danger that somo of the criticism di-
rected at the war policies of the gov
ernmcnt by the American press may
prove destructive to the confidence and
morale of the people at home was
pointed out by Governor j ohm J. Corn
we'll of West Virginia in an address
here tonight at the annual meeting OF
the West Virginia Daily Newspaper
Association. Request was made Of the
editors attending the meeting by the
Governor that they put the war and
its successful prosecution above poll
tics In the coming state and Con
eressonal compaigns.
Declaring there is no doubt that
some Of the recent criticism in Con
gress is justified and that perhaps some
of 1T is desirable, as "Congress appro-
prlatcd the money and therefore has
the right to know how it is being eX
pended Governor Cornwcll asserted:
There are two kinds Of criticism,
constructive and destructive. Some of
the criticism in Congress and much of
1T IN the press is destructive-d destruct-
i've OF confidence and of the morale Of
the people, which are just as essential
as morale in our army and navy. | APP
peal to you gentlemen Of the press to
distinguish carefully between these
two kinds of criticism"
The GovernorJ advised the editors in
the fail campaign to give asprants to
office to understand that it is the war
against Germany that must be fought
hrst, last and every day rather than
political bout"

do it by helping America to organize
its revolutionary army against the
Kaiser and the Junkers.
