attack upon the President and the Secretary
OF War. It Is quito true that tho news
papers desire the repeal OF the ruinous and
unjust zone law; it is equally true that they
have not stopped to the methods of which
they are accused by litchn. Americas
newspapers have stood firmly back Of tho
governments every war policy; they have
contributed uncomplainngly tens Of millions
of dollars in space and in cash to the coun-
try's needs, and have thrown tho whole
weight Of their influence into the scale
against Germany. They have done it gladly
and as duty, and will continue to do So
In view of these facts, it comes with bad
grace from the House leader OF the Demo-
Gratis to impute TO them underhand motives
In seeking repeal Of law which was passed
only as club by certain Congressman who
can see no good in press that they cannot
control.
