Editorial in the Louisville Courier
Journal.

For the steady reference of those
profound students of the public sub
jects who are positive that news
paper is owned or dominated by par
ticular interest when it does not agree
with the views of the aforesaid pro-
found students, the Courier Journal at
great labor and expense has compiled
a tabulated formula by which anyone
at glance may ascertain just what
interest owns or dominates any news
paper any time The main virtue of
the formula is it's simplicity. 1t needs
no key. In a spirit of magnanimity
it is presented freely to the public
without even a copyright protection.
1t will save much vexatious specula-
tion among those who readily perceive
a hidden and ulterior motive behind a
newspapers policies but cannot so
readily understand what that motive
is. It will be of especial value to
many classes of politicians, pamphlet
eers and orators First viii be stated
the policy of the newspaper and imme-
diately will be shown the correspond
ing interest owning or dominating
the newspaper itself. Behold, the for
mula:
For good roads Owned by the ce-
ment manufacturers.
For enforcement of ordinance requir-
ing tail lights to be kept burning
controlled by lamp manufacturers.
For free text book for public school
hildren-dominated by the book pub

Against government ownership of
railroads controlled by Wall street
and railroad interests.
For government ownership of rail
roads-dominated by Wall street and
railroad interests, who desire to trade
their fluctuating and watered stocks,
for gilt edge United States bonds, with
a guaranteed income.
Against profiteering dominated by
radicals who desire to bring disaster
to capital.
Against incompetence or abuse of
authority by Democratic oficehold-
er- controlled by the Republican or
ganization.
Against incompetence or abuse by a
Republican officeholder-dominated by
the Democratic organization.
For a policy in the public interest,
pursued by a Republican, -owned body

Against Socialism, Bolshevism ard

For prohibition controlled by coali-
ton of soft drink manufacturers and

Against prohibition bought by distil-

Against an increase in street car
