DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
PRESS

Here's what the state and national
governments have done against the
newspapers of the country:
First, prohibited them from paying
railroads with advertising for person
al transportation. This, upon the
idea that every newspaper man is
corrupt and can be bribed by buSi'
ness given him by the railroads. AT
the same time, the section worker
and the man who furnishes the wood
to the railroad is entitled to free
transportation.
Second, upon the idea that all
newspaper men are rascals and for a
pecuniary consideration are willing
to "sail under false colors," the gov
eminent requires them to publish
twice a year statement showing
who the owners of their papers are
and other matters of no interest or
Importance to the public.
Third, the zone rates Of postage
imposed upon the newspapers by the
government not only infiict upon
them an increased and unnecessary
expense, but present a problem in
mathematics which but few publish
ers and postmasters can solve. I'm
der this system, not one man In q
hundred can accurately calculate the
postage to be paid upon any given
edition of a newspaper.
Fourth, by authority OF the govern
ment, the war industries board IS
sues orders curtailing the circulation
of ewspapers-Ordering them to cut
Off all free exchanges, cease sending
papers to subscribers not paid in ad'
vance, and to make periodical reports
of their consumption of paper.
After all this, the government de-
mands and receives from the news
papers thousands of dollars of free
advertising 1t is admitted by high
government officials that, but for the
generosity and patriotism Of the
newspapers, the government could
not have made a success in placing
any Cpe Of its four liberty loans for
the prosecution of the war.
It follows that, if there are any
people in this country who have a
really good reason for "going on a
strike" they are the newspaper pub
fishers. If every one of them should
suspend publication until the imposi
lions placed upon them are removed,
they would be amply justifled.-Pun-

NO NEED OF APOLOGIES

to be ashamed of the records of the

THE MR.. wATrgRsoNs RESIGNATION

The Fourth Estate: Henry Wat
terson, veteran editor OF the Courier
Journal, this week severed his fifty
year connection with that paper as
a result of a conflict OF views on the
league of nations.
Since control of the paper passed
into the hands of Judge Robe.t
Worth Bingham, Mr. Watterson's
friends have predicted break in 20
lations, as on at least three vital IA
tional issues the editor and publish
or were at variance.
Always an ardent opponent of wo-
man suffrage, Colonel Waters IN
found his position uncomfortable
when Judge Bingham supported tae
bill before the last congress.
Colonel Watterson's views on pro-
hibition also differed greatly with
those of the new management, which
leaned toward favoring the national
amendment.
When the Association for the Pres
eryation OF American Independence
was recently formed in New York.
the Colonel accepted the presidency
while the Courier Journal was strong
ly favoring adoption of the treaty.
Since his acceptance Of this Office
Colonel WattersOu has excoriat I'd

league of nations issue, bat ON his
trip to Europe, what he termed his
dictatorship and his undemocratic
use of his high Office Friends of the
editor saw in his recent writings a
climax to the disagreement in views
with the paper.
A week ago Colonel Watterson sent
to the New York Herald and to tho
Courier-Journal, as well as to several
other papers. an editorial article ia
which President Wilson was held cp

much of the cigarmaking has been

States. Cigars are mostly made by
men whose pay is by piecewOrk.
A curious and interesting state
ment was made that the men would
not accept places unless there was a
reader employed to read to them all
the time they were working, as it
enabled them to do more work by
dispelling the discomfort of drudgery.
Isn't there something in the idea
that people who do routine work will
do more and better work if their
minds are contented and satisfied by
anything that entertains them with
out hindering the work of their eyes,
hands and feet?
A human being must not be
thought of as an automatic machine.
We must consider one another, and
so far as in us lies, add to the good
feeling of all who labor with us.
1t can be done and we must all
find the way.
