me or my newspaper the News-Budget
in this your surprising breach of bus
mess etiquette and decency and gros
and contemptuOus disregard for bus
mess and journalistic ethics.

Very Truly Yours,
MARK r. BELL.
The article referred to in the abov,
letter is as follows:
On Getting Stung
Ever get stung? Well, listen.
When the Liberty Loan campaign
started, we were asked what rate
we would charge for advertising
it. We stated that we would take
just half our regular rate.
Then the an-Who-Invented
Newspapers brought forward
plan that he found had been
worked at Barron. Twenty bus
mess men were to contribute $3.50
each for page al in both local
papers for two weeks. We fell for
the plan. being willing to try al
most anything once.
As this rate was a great deal
higher than the rate we quoted the
committee. we figured that we
could afford to contribute the diff
ference to some good cause. SO, on
the strength of it we contributed
an extra $40 to the Red Cross.
Now comes the joke. which is on
us good and plenty. 1t was ar
ranged that the Invented
Newspapers should collect the
money, which he did. We haven't
received a red cent of it. We are
not only out the advertising space.
but contributed that extra SO on
the basis of expectation of being
paid. We don't begrudge the $40
it is getting stung that hurts.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR

Intense interest in the war is now
in the United States and here, not in
actual battle, but in clearing out the
debris III preparation for the fighting
in spring. Congressional investigation
has disclosed that the navy has never
been in finer condition for warfare !:
on the other hand the army has been
the victim of democracy and red tape
without responsible head and hence
we are far behind in the preparations.
Secretary Baker cut a sorry figure IN
the hearings before the Senate Com
mittee and his Don Quiyete optimism
received Il dash of cold water when
the actual facts were placed before
him. Much good will result from the
the victim of beaurocracy and red tape
publicity of this weakness now, before
it is too late to make correction when
the real cruiser arrives.
The death of former Congressman
Gardner, of Massachusetts, at Camp
Wheeler Ga, of pneumonia, has result
ed in IA sharp demand for an inyestiga-
ton of camp conditions which have re-
suited in many deaths from the same
cause.
The Russian situation remains in
the same, chaotic condition with no
assurances Of either peace or war up
to date.
Italy is regaining some of her lost
territory with brilliant dash and eX-
cellent morale in her army. A few
skirmishes and trench raids mark the
western front where winter has set
in with all the rigOrs which mark
North France

Government operation of the rail
roads has so far SO improved the SER
vice in the moving of freight that we
wonder why it was not done before.
The elimination of rivalry and the
movement over routes that will insure
freight of preferred nature, reaching
destination without the delays of rail
road red tape which in most cases have
been the result of restrictive laws on
the part of the government itself, is al
ready increasing the efficiency of all
the roads.

one compensation for the instability.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. May s.-Both
the Republican and the Democratic
state conventions this year viii be
called upon TO wrestle with the same
old liquor question. The fact that In
diana is now a dry state and that the
people have said by their votes that
they are through with the liquor bus
mess does not seem TO trobIe the uq-
uor interests in the least. fer they
plan a come back" effort this year.
Just the same as in days Of old.
It has come to the attention OF some
Of the leaders Of both parties that the
liquor people viii ask each convention
TO place In its platform a declaration
in favor exemptng light wines and a
2-per cent beer from the operation OF
the state wide prohibition law.
Under the present prohibition law
even light wines are prohibited and
beverages containing more than one
half Of one per cent also are prohibited.
Therefore It would require an amend
ment to the prohibition law to allow
ii ght wines and . per cent beers to
enter once again into the state
Judging from what the party lead
ers say. there is no likelihood that eth
err state convention VIII pay any at
tention to the request OF the liquor
people They realize that it would be
political party suicide for any party
leaders to declare in its platform in
favor Of any such change in the pro-
hibition law at this time. The law
went into effect so quietly and smooth
ly and with so little friction, and liquor
went out Of the state so easily that
