positive that he will not only win at

Anonymous Letter
An anonymous circular was scat
tered about Harrisburg during last
night and has aroused much indig-
nation among Catholic citizens. 1t
was rabid assault about one Re
publican and two Democratic candi-
dates on account of their religious
faith. In view of the fact that thou
sands of Catholics are serving in the
various branches of the national
forces and are participating in the
activities for the support of the Gov
ernment, the intimation that they
are menace to American institu-
tions" is regarded as contemplate
and dastardly assault in the dark.
Creeds and denominational lines are
rapidly disappearing under the pres
sure of the war and the raising of
a religious issue at this time in. a
political campaign is regarded by
Catholics and others as bigotry in it's
worst form.

NEWSPAPERS
in WAR TIME
(By An Ex-City Editor.)

Signs multiply that the news
papers are recovering from the
breakdown which threatened to be
their chief contribution TO the
war. Those changes necessary
to win the war" which editors
discuss largely for others, may
yet be adopted by the newspa-
pers themselves.
Those who were in newspaper
offices last April see excuses for
their failure. The inset of war
suddenly made editors duties very
important. They were to mold
public opinion, to maintain NOR
ale. Modern wars. they were re-
minded, were fought with print
ing presses no less than with ar
tillery. 1t was no time for them
to be humble and interpretive
They must be stalwart and look
ed up TO. The government, fail
ing of censorship law. increased
their self-importance by making
them the judges of what TO print.
Every line Of type became mat
ter of life and death. Editors
exalted to find themselves in the
first line of defense, struck
the very human pose Of CLOSE
up the ranks. No dissensions.
Don't start anything new. Three
cheers for the flag" Doubts,
dissensions and innovations came
thick, but it never occurred to
editors that their slogan lacked
efficiency Their dispatches from
abroad warned that the war was
changing everything. American
newspapers exempted themselves.
With most Of them it is still a
case Of business as usual" They
look the same as a year ago. They
carry the same advertisements,
largely Of sales non-essential to
the war. Deeper, they have not
changed their traditional attitudes
except that now what they do
not like is "pro-German" instead
Of "Socialistic" Their attitude
toward labor is the same. They
are just as respectful to big
business. They display the pa
triotism Of their ancient stand
The Co-operative news. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1917-1918, 1918-04-04

bys, "spokesmen prominent in
law and finance" They are more
ignorant than ever of such things
as strikes. They still view with
alarm drastic methods threaten
ing privilege, though these prom
Use to win the war.
The disregard into which they
have fallen is indicated by the
peoples increased refusal to take
their politics from the papers.
In the recent election in New York
every metropolitan morning daily
except one, campaigned for May
or Mitchell. Hylan's name never
appeared on the first page ex-
cept as the butt Of some expose. 4"
Judging by the papers there
could be little question of the
merits of the election. The vote,
as the result on suffrage proved,
was not entirely unintelligent, I'M
considered or perverse. A great
many decent, thinking, independ-
ent voters believed the choice was
Tammany or Tory and they pre-
.ferred to put up with Tammany.
They did not get this definition
from the newspapers.
Will the people quit taking their
war from the papers? This is
quite the most important ques-
tion before editors these days.
Things will begin to totter in
deed If the masses want the
war won in ways different from
the prescription of the newspa-
pers, Of the newspaper owning
classes.
Newspapers which ran Petro-
grad dispatches headed "Bolshe-
wiki Rule Can Last But Few Hours
More" for two months, convicted
themselves of not getting the
truth. But the showing up of
the papers was largely the work
Of President Wilson and other
war forces. The presidents mes
sage warmly commencing the
Russian leaders handling of
peace offers, printed on the first
page, caught most of the papers
with their insdes full of editor
ia!s damning the Bolsheviki for
pro-Gcrman crooks. Before this,
the papers own dispatches from
Brest-Litovsk had aroused sus-
picion that the American editor
ial writer's were concerned not so

cial program. At present these
editorials are performing for. the
president the same service which
they charged to Bryan in the
Dumba affair, assuring Revolu-
tionary Russia that Mr.. Wilson's
sympathetic words mean nothing.
Are the papers any more pre-
occupied with winning the war
when they damn the |. w. w?
Suppose the great |. w. w trial
in Chicago next month shows not
scintilla of evidence against the
i66 defendants, what will become
Of these columns of stories of a
Gigantic l. w w anti-war con-
spiracy?" The country, espe-
cially the West, would not be
surprised by an acquittal. What
will the country think of the news
paper?
When President Wilson con-
dennis the Bisbee deportations and
editors go on applaudine them, do
newspapers really think they have
the country with them? When
Secretary Baker flays the per-
petrators of the Bigelow flogging
and half the papers fail TO print
his rebuke. isn't the attitude of
these papers obvious? When news
papers bury little items of the
governments settling war strikes
by granting union demands,
+ while editorials go on calling
strikers traitors" the news
papers are simply publishing their
own breakdown.
Those familiar with editors of
fees know why, for example. not
a paper in the East printed an
elaborate communication to Con-
gress from a lawyer. Amos Pin
chot, who had collated big con-
Germs reports of war profits. He
was called a pro-German pacifist
and his researches suppressed. At
least one paper in the East print
ed the Federal Income Tax Re
port showing an increase Of 1000
mlllionaires in the past fiscal
year, but no person looked for
editorial comment, least of all
those Who hold the theory that
drastic limitations of profits
would do more than ANYTHING
else to unite the country behind
the war.
Here is what an experienced
news editor said in admitting that
he was glad to be doug his war

his old office:

wa sthe astounding question put
by the Ministry Of Munitions Mis-
sion recently in this country. Nor
did they seem to be satisfied
when shown our best papers
the entire front pages and half
the insides monopolized by war
news. The Britishers seemed to
expect a change in the papers,
an attitude of complete concern
over but one thing, winning the
war, no matter whose ideas went
by the board. They seemed to
expect the editors to be preoc-
cupied with the search for the
winning way, not a winning way
which would save somebody's
privileges.
These Munitions officials -
Kent, Garrod, Bailey and Asquith,
were exceedingly interesting and
important visitors. They spent
ten weeks touring the country, yet
hardly anything was published
about them. This was partly
through their preference for
meeting audiences face to face,
privately. without publicity, but
more through their, and Ameri-
can officials, distrust Of the
American newspaper. Headed by
Sir Stephenson Kent, wealthy
coal-operator, they came to talk
TO employers. They confined
themselves to a recital of their
experiences, sedulously avoiding
TO advise Theirs was the en-
ployers' viewpoint and while they
did talk to labor men their main
concern was to be questioned by
employers. To the last they re-
fused absolutely TO voice criti-
cism Of America, but it is no Sc
cret that the British Mission went
home appalled, at conditions in in
dustry here. Appalled," is the
right word-their own. The ap-
palling thing is the attitude of
the American employer. The one
concern of these men is to win
the war. To them it is mainly
question of man-power and its
utilization. To them, as employ
ers, the way out is to recognize
organized labor and then reach
agreements with the unions. To
them the attitude of their brother
employers here is simply flabbcr-
casting. They see we have the
men, we have the plants, we have
able directing head. The diff
Guilty? Faced with their silence
n questioner raped his brow in
ouiringly with his knuckles. The
dignified Briton nodded emphati-
cally.
"There are three sacrifices in
war;" said one of the Commits
sioners in a speech. "the sacrifice
of men, the sacrifice of capital"
(Which is nothing" Sir Stephen
son interpolated. soto voicel .,
"and the sacrifice of prejudice"
American employers prejudices
hulked large to the Commissioners.
They wouldn't say so The far
thest they went in comparisons
was this from Garrod: IF one
eighth of the labor disturbances
we have personally observed in
two months in this country had
happened in England in the past
three years, England would now
be sueing for disgraceful
peace"
Now it is significant that while
the Mission dared to recite it's ex-
perience, so shocking to the Amer
lean employers idea, in private,
neither the Mission nor its Wash
mgton sponsors dreamed Of dar-
ing to attempt to utilize the
American newspaper for publica-
tion Of facts.
And vet inquiry among business
men who heard the British recital
might show them not so deaf to
the visitors "win-the-war" labor
