From the Business Office Viewpoint
81 Believe That Today The Washington
Times is Read By More Individual
Readers Per Copy Than Any
Other Paper in the
United States"

SO says William H. Rankin, head of the big national
advertising agency, with headquarters in Chicago and
New York
Mr.. Rankin is the man who developed 'the Chicago
copy that appeared in Washington the signature of
local business houses prepared and illustrated bv his
agency. The newspaper campaign of Smleage Book ad-
vertiSing likewise emanated from this agency All of which
has caused Mr. Rankin TO devote great deal of his time
to the city of Washington during the past few months
The above quotation is therefore not the result of
cursory investigation Of The Washington TIMES and the
Washington newspaper field but the result of first hand
information obtained right the ground by man Whose
time largely devoted to newspaper observations and COM
parsons.
National advertisers pay this thousands of dollars
for his opinion as to newspapers and newspaper advers
ing values Local advertisers here given the benefit
of this opinion without charge.
The above quotation is not all that Mr. Rankin said
about Washington and The Washington TIMES But II IS
enough for days conSderaton-for the extent to
which each copy of newspaper is read of greater I'M
portance than the number of papers that circulated
Every page of The Washington TIMES is prepared
with the idea of attracting the readers attention. the
neW-to the editorials that say exactly what they intend
TO say-to Photographic reproductions of people and
places In the public eye-to specially illustrated features
of the counys leading manufacturers of those things that
make life more worth living

Senator Fletcher informed the
Senate Of correspondence with the
Public Printer and the Director of
Railroads. All mischances threat
ening the suppression of the "only
uncensored publication" were de-
plored with what seemed acute Of
fetal regret The subject was left
in this state, as a serial to be con-
tinued.

Senate Defense Of the "Ony IncensOred Publication" John
sons Plea for Revival Of Free Speech Of Controlling
Opinion Conditions at Hog Island Defined - Railroads in
House and Senate Compulsory Control Of Food.
By W. v. BYARS.

Yesterday was a day of prepared
speeches and great historical efforts
in both House and Senate, the rail-
road control bill being the principal
business of the day in both cham
bers.
Memorable as these orations
were, Senator Gallinger Of New
Hampshire secured the spotlight on
another subject. On receipt of let
tiers anxiously inquiring what had
become of the Congressional Rec
ord, his Investigations led him to
fear, if not to believe, that for some
purpose, perhaps diplomatic and
dark or imaginably as a result Of
mischance, its circulation since Feb
ruary l has been practically re-
stricted to the District Of Column
bia-with a possibility that as the
"only uncensored publication" in
America it may finally be read only
by members Of Congress them
selves.
If they were to consider only pa
per shortage as an explanation,
Senator Gailinger saw a possible
remedy in the use of paper now de-
voted to tons of bureau publications,
mostly useless and certainly mon
essential" in a war crisis. He read
a list Of them, among which his
own favorite was evidently 1.-THE Pr
rates Of the Deep-Stories of the
Squid and the Octopus" Senator
Penrose, however, preferred "Nar-
cotic Plants and StimuIants Of the
Ancient Americans"
In a discussion between Messrs.
Reed and Smoot, it developed that
paper is now being used extern
sively at the expense of the Treas
ury for the purpose Of controlling
public opinion. The cost was esti-
mated at $4,000 a day. When Sena-
tor Vardaman. in apparent sur
prise wanted to know what bureau
was showing this unprecedented
energy, it was said to be "Mr.
Creel's."

Can't Understand Race Prejudice.

Bert Williams, the famous colored
comedian, has written an article for the
January American Magazine III which
he says:
People sometimes ask me if | would
not give anything to be white. ] an
swer, in the words of the song, most
emphatically, No How do l know
what l might be if l were a white
man? | might be q sand-hog, burrow
ing away and losing my health for
eight dollars day. might be a street
car conductor at $12 or SIS a week
There Is many a white man less for
tunate and less well equipped than
am. In truth, l have never been able
to discover that there was anything
disgraceful in being a colored man.
But | have often found it ineonvenient
in America.
. How many times have hotel keep
ers said to me, / know you, Williams,
| and | like you, and | would like moth
| ing better than to have you stay here,
but you see we have Southern gentle
men in the house and they would OBJ
| ject.
Cranky, I can t understand what
/ it is all about [ breathe like other
people, eat like them-if you put me at
q dinner table YOU can be reasonably
sure that l won't use the ice cream
fork for my salad; | think like other
people. | guess the whole trouble must
be that | dom look like them. They
say it is matter of race prejudice
But if it were prejudice baby would
have it, and you will never find it IL
q baby. 1t has to be inculcated or
people. For one thing, l have noticed
that this race prejudice is not to b.
found in people who are sure enough
Of their position to be able to defy it
For example. the kindest, most courte
Gus, most democratic man l ever me
was the King of England, the late Kint

CLEANED UP FREIGHT.
Factory Employees Emptied 16O Cars Of
$500 Tons at Hartford

HARTFORD, Conn. Jan. pa total
of $500 tons of freight ont of an est
mated 10000 tons of freight in the ward
in this city, which has been congested
here for weeks and months, was vcster-
day moved from the ears and taken to
consignees factories or warehouses. The
empty ears, 100 of them, were removed
by the New Haven road
This was the result of the first
. freight cleanup day in New Eng
land, with factory employees doing the
cleaning up. OF the loo cars, los were
bulk ears and 81 were on private sid
ngs.
There are about $40 ears left, nearly
all in freight yards. About 200 will be
cleared today by the factory workers.
About 500 men We're at work Yesterday
with 60 automobiles.
1t was found that the working men
would rather remain at home and rest
than assist in the freight moving, but
the 500 who worked yesterday infiu-
enced nearly 300 more into promising
that they would 'pitch in today.
! Fourteen firemen utilized their day of
in helping Mayor Frank A. Hagarty III
his novel moving day scheme. They re
ceived the personal thanks of the may
or.
The only DIRECTORS were consignees
who were allowing their goods TO stay
in ears, rather than pay storehouse rent
al. They were actually shamed into
having their ears emptied and Their
goods were taken to warehouses anc
squeezed in somehow Little of the stuff
removed was foodstuffs.

For a Short Session.
{ Rutland Herald. }

The next session of the Vermont leg
islature will be one of the most i'm
portant in many wears, as the amend
mcnt to the constitution for nation
wide prohibition viii be acted upon.
While the selection Of representatives.
will not be made for several months,
yet there should he much thought given
to the matter Burlington Clipper.
The 1919 session Of the legislature,
as a war session, viii be important,
but the adoption, reference or rejec-
ton of the Sheppard amendment is not
by any means the most important mat
ter TO be acted on
ii the people of Vermont were to
adopt the slogan: q Re-elect the state
legislature and then insist on a 10
day emergency session and no more
it would be the best kind of war serv
ice they could render
10 make up and pass the war budget
refer or pass over all new, untried
and radical measures and then 90 home
would be the finest sort Of patriot,
effort and the people would appreciate
it.
There Is no more need of a stat
campaign, carried into every town o
the a.ate, than there is of a speeia
session, and the nearer the regular ses
sion approaches the length and tensio
Of a special session the better it wi,

Pigs and Patriotism.

Norway. a little Maine town of three
thousand people, made such remarka-
bic showing in all kinds of war work
that William Almon Wolff has writ
ten the story of it in Everybody s for
January, One of the side-issues was
a pig-raising plan devised by Talbot
Munday, the novelist.
- You can buy very young pig for
five doliars-or could, last spring, ii
Norway. SO Mundav evolved this plan:
He cot good many small farmers and
families who had little ground around
their houses, to agree to keep pig
If the pig were furnished. Again he
worked along cooperative lines. Most
Of the people he approached either
couldn t, or wouldn t spend FIVE dollars
for pig. And they were disposed tc
halk, too, at the prospective cost of up
keep-because even pig costs some
thing for feed.
:" If l get you a pig said Mundy
| will you pay half the cost OF feeding
and keeping him if I find some on
to pay the other half? You look afte
the pig and pay half the eost-ant
own half-interest in the pig. Tit
person who buys him and pays tn
other half OF the cost owns bne Otne
half and you divide the proceed
when he s sold. How s that?'
1T was all right. so Mundy, wit
his pledges tabulated, set out to fin
sponsors and godfathers for pigs. Their
are people all over New England, i
New York, in Chicago, in Philadelphia
who own half pig in Norway now
They clamor for pictures of them, too
Mundy has sent dozens Of snapshots II
has taken of pigs in various stages 6
growth, which now are being proud
, shown by their vicarious owners.
Andes pigs were raised in an
around Norway last summer on Mul
dv ) cooperative plan,
.Next summer there will be NOR
MANY more. He has a waiting list {
people who want to own half pig. y
