Washington. Nov. 20-The republi-

president, Hon Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington headquar-
ters:
"No other business has been hit
harder by the war than the newspaper
business, particularly in the smaller
cities and country towns. The large
metropolitan newspapers have prob
ably suffered least. During 1917,
more than 10000 publications went
out of business. After making allow
ances for new papers started, it ap-
pears that there was a net loss of 81
dailies and 500 weeklies.
"The mortality statistics for 1918
will probably show as great loss, for
the shortage Of paper, the increasing
cost of all kinds Of supplies, and the
higher wages, together with the heavy
call upon newspaper men for military
service, have been more severe this
year than last.
Sand one of the serious feat
ures of the situation is that the
people of the country probably
do not realize that the most val
liable portion of the press has
sustained the greatest loss. I'm

MCG[YNN FINED
500 DOLLARS
STATEMENT ATTRIBUTED To
HIM BY COWBOY ENEMY OF
LEAGUE HELD TO INVOLVE
SEDITION.

The case of j. A. McGlynn CAM
paign manager in the late election for
the League has been brought to trial
at Ekalaka. Exact details of the trial
are not yet to hand but press dispatch
es couched as usual in a misleading
and offensive manner declare the
"Mike McGlynn, Labor Leader was
fined $500, on a Charge of Sedition."
McGlynn who was not, SO far as we
know, in any way associated with Or
ganized Labor except in his capacity
as campaign manager of the League,
and we believe that he was as guilt
less of the offence urged against him
as was the prosecuting attorney him.
self. The case was appealed and no
doubt will be dismissed by the higher
courts, but that in no manner eases
the misery which any self-respecting
man suffers under persecution from
malicious citizens bent on the execu-
ton of private or political revenge
, through the machinery of the courts.
It will be remembered that McGlynn
was threatened by gang of hoodlums
at Powder River with death, for carry
ing on the organization Of the League.
The assualtants, one of whom we und-
erstand, brought the charges On which
the campaign manager was indicted,
swore that they would take his life,
then and there, but being of the ilk
which takes a great deal of pleasure
out of torturing powerless fellow
creature, they finally let him go to
walk IS miles to Miles City. Reach
ing there another band of lawless
mobsters, undertook to deport Nc
Glynn for his own safety and in
cidentally that the message of the
League might not be heard in Miles
City. these gangsters were OF the
usual stripe known as the "best-citi-
zens' 'and were the same outfit who
were brought to trial by the Attorney
General only to make travesty of
justice and turn court room into a
bedlam.
THE CHARGES
The indictment is not yet before us
but we understand that McGlynn was
charged with having said there were
no mutilated children imported into
this country from Belgium, to which
the press, always ready to enlarge up
on such succulent items, no matter
who is damaged or what regulations
falsely ruined, added, that McGlynn
is reported to have said they were
mutilated here for the purpose of STIR
ring up hate against the Germans.
McGlynn is we'll known around the
State and is exceedingly we'll thought
of, and it is certainly disgusting
state of affairs that citizen of the
U. S. A. who is as fervently loyal as
anyone could desire, should have
been bounded all these months to be
fined at last and his record smeared
to that extent, on perfectly redicu-
lous charge of saying something that
in the nature of the case is not sedi-
tion anymore than is any outspoken
comment upon the open and flagrant
manner in which the newspapers dis
torted or suppressed items Of informa-
ton of great value to the public.

MAY RESPOND TO APPEAL.
Widow With Crippled Child Gets
 Help from Toussaint Fund.

An appeal in behalf of the destl- tute or helpless never goes unanswer- ed in Pine Bluff. Several days ngo The Graphic printed a brief item about the plight of widow with two children, one of them a cripple. The Associated Charities, which had giv- en relief to the victims of fate, ask ed that one donate wagon or buggy for the cripple child. Five people of fered vehicles, as Ia result of the pub 'lication of the item. But Pine Bluff didn't stop there. Julius Schloss, who raised a fund with which the send Ethel Toussaint, the little cri4}- pied artist, to specialist 1n New York, believed that the case was one for which some of the Toussaint fund might be properly used, and yestel- day he carried the Charities a check for $1O, to be expended for the wid- ow and her two children. Little Eth el Toussaint died several months af- ter being taken to New York, and there remains a small balance in the fund. The custodians use the inter- est and a part of tine fund occasion ally to lextend relief to suffering children.

CHILDREN NEED MILK
Without 1t Growth Ceases and
Health Is Impaired.
United States Chi!dren's Bureau Sees
Danger in Situation Caused by
High Prices.

Washington.-The news that many
American babies are now going with
out milk because of it's high price is
q matter of grave alarm to the United
States children's bureau.
"NTiIk is one food that all young
children must have if they are to be
strong and healthy" the bureau warns.
"Thole milk is rich in the elements
without which the child's growth
ceases. and his health is impaired; in
deed, there is no food which can sup
ply as we'll the needs Of the growing
child. There is no substitute for
milk in the diet of babies and young
children"
Undernourishment, especially in
childhood, is the basis Of many evils.
Sometimes when the brain cells are
starved it results in feeble minded
ness; it is conducive to tuberculosis,
to weak muscles and weak character.
It is the leading cause Of ineficiency.
Occasionally the absence Of milk is
due to ignorance-the family fails to
realize it's Importance in the infants
diet. Usually the family simply can't
afford it. Wages are higher, but the
price of foodstuffs manage to keep a
little ahead of them. Few workmen,
even earning comparatively high
wage, can afford to pay 81 month
for milk for four children. Yet So
would buy only pint of milk a day
for each of these children.
Under these circumstances child
welfare workers ere hoping that the
government itself will step in and see
that American babies and children re-
ceive the proper amount Of milk. Amer
lean men are leaving by the thousands
to fight and protect their women and
children, but Of what avail is it If in
the meantime the children are allowed
to starve at home?
