"If the answer is yes, he is told by a doleful official that advertising is looked upon as rather unnecessary
 "This is not cry from the heart though the lip may be gay so far as this newspaper is concerned. The Washington Times is published in a boom town, the home of the dolar-a- year man, where everybody spends money and everybody makes money.
 Here in Washington you fall over money if you are not careful. Unless you happen to be government em- ploye of long standing you can hard ly help getting rich.
 "This paper is making plenty of money, is going to make plenty more, and for itself does not in the least care what the government does about advertising or what it charges for postage. For our circulation cannot be killed by postoffice overcharge-our circulation is right here in Washing ton-and we are as independent as that famous hog on ice, who said, If l cannot stand up, I can sit down. Attitudes Contradictory.
 Tt is not so with thousands of other newspapers. And We say to the earn est official who spends half the day asking newspapers for favors and the other half doing all he can to destroy newspapers:
 "lf you discourage or kill too many newspapers, who is going to help you distribute your Liberty bonds and war stamps that must be sold-if only that your salaries may continue?
 And who is going to print the beautiful, patriotic speeches and let ters with which you clog the mails and the trains?
 And who is going to tell the people to eat potates and save wheat, and save wool, and hate the kaiser, and fear George Greet, and keep the ten thousand and ten new command ments
 Dear officialdom, you do not know how you would miss the voice that carries your messages, sings your praises, prints your dull speeches, all lows you to go before the public dress ed in spotless pure white, or patriotic red, white and blue.
 "lf the government, without shud- dering, can allow every big grafter and profiteer in the United States to make millions where he used to make thousands, that same government might permit newspapers to continue making living-if only for the gov ernment's own sweet sake"

Killing of the Press

 Bake potatoes, boil them, fry them, mash them, roast them, eat them. Teach yourself to say automatically, No, no bread-more potatoes, please.
 "We shall return to this important subject.
 "Now we ask the government, in- cluding the food administration, and the management of railways and fifty or hundred others, this question:
 "Why do you spend so much of your time endeavoring to roast, boil mash, and fry the newspapers
 "Never mind the character or value of that miserable worm, the editor Admit that it was great mistake for the Constitution to assume that free dom of the press was important or even justifiable.
 Admit also, if you choose, that the nation would be better off if all news. papers were dead, and no reading matter obtainable except the Con- gressional Record. Kill the news papers after the war, if you like, and if you are able. But don't be so anxious to kill the newspapers until you have finished your job of beating Prussia.
 "What is an official without public ity? He is as sad as the owner of | that goose when no more golden eggs were forthcoming.
 officials, politicians, seekers of notoriety that only the newspapers can give you, do not kill the journal istic goose that lays for you the gold, en egg-notoriety, free advertising.
 Twelve hundred newspapers have died in the United States within 12 months-little newspapers, most oi them, killed by the high price of paper and by government enthusiasm in dis. couraging advertising.
 "Twelve hundred dead newspapers is good record for one year. Why not devote the next year to killing Prussians and postpone the rest of the newspaper funerals until after tho war?
 | Newspapers ys. Fish.
 "The government proposes to charge for carrying printed matter three cents a pound more than the private ' ly owned express companies charge ! for carrying fresh fish on ice.
 "This is one interesting plan fol killing publicity and bankrupting edi tors.

patients will test the real politeness of the French, for the situation will demand that they shall not be pitied, even by glance. Their paper, they announce, is meant "to communicate to Frenchmen at home gayety not in the least feigned, not at all factit- ious, in a word, real and sincere. We do not wish to excite the pity of our contemporaries, being ourselves very well satisfied with our wounds" :" The paper, according to the Foreign News Bureau of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense, where we find the item, was held up day because the editor had to undergo an other operation; he came out from the anaesthetic and continued making | jokes.

LAUGH ANYWAY" MOTTO
 OF HOSPITAL PAPER

Some eight months ago a modest little newspaper put in it's appearance in Paris. Many have done so during the war, but the singularity of "La Greffe Generale" is that it is funny paper, and it's motto is "Laugh Any way" Heartless as it sounds, this comic paper is the most touching and most inspiring of publications, for il is run entirely by those whose faces have been mutilated in battle. The greatest miracles of surgery are prac- ticed on these men. The operations are attended with torture and in many cases are only an expedient. The

DECENT the government,
 Tx which now controls the rail- N roads, ordered the companies

ECENTLY the government, which now controls the rail- lV roads, ordered the companies
 to discontinue advertising. Now comes the report that bakers are not to be allowed to advertise bread and pasteries.
 Unless the law is repealed, another burden is to be added to the news papers. After July 1st the second class zone rates are to be increased from 50 to 90 per cent and the nation al press will be destroyed.
 The case of the government against the newspapers was well put in an editorial appearing not long ago in the Washington Times, which we re- print here in full because it fits the case of western newspapers just the same as eastern newspapers. The editorial is as follows:
 A Favor Granted.
 "To this newspaper, from various government officials are sent on an average of 100 requests per day. The requests are all welcome.
 "Each official gentleman usually would like an editorial and a news story, and frequent repetition of the same, concerning the excellent work that he is doing to win the war We try to oblige all.
 "We pick up now, signed by Angus tin McNally, director of publicity, United States Food Administration this letter, printed gladly.
 New York, N. r., April 12, 1918. Chief Editorial Writer.
 Dear Sir: On next Monday morn ing, April 15, the Federal Food Board, through the bureau of transportation and distribution, will open a potato campaign to induce the public to con- sume the large quantities of potatoes that are coming into our markets, and by so doing conserve the wheat This campaign will last three weeks.
 We hope to have the hearty support of your news department, and I am writing to ask you if you will not be good enough to call attention to the necessity of this campaign in your editorial columns.
 T realize that it is inopportune to encourage a campaign like this at the height of our Liberty Loan drive, but something must be done if for no other reason than to prevent the enor- nous waste that will certainly occur if the winter crop is not eaten before the new variety arrives.
 Sincerely yourss,
