has accepted the situation in the proper
American spirit, and it is in advance of
the others in the handling of the issue
IN such manner as to give its readers
a really adequate idea of what is
going on.
The Brooklyn papers that are not
bad are worse, and, taking the city as
whole, the question of the relative rank
among most Of those regarded as the
leading papers is purely a question of
which is the rankest. Notwithstand-
ing their airs and superior attitude,
New York papers are the most provin-
clal in America in spite Of their many
acknowledged eXcellences.
Il wish to make clear that the Anti
Saloon League has no grievance against
the papers as respects their treatment
OF the league itself or its activities.
The league has been treated with an
astonishing degree of fairness in the
news columns of the New York papers
IN the light of thear editorial attitude
and policy.
But the thing that we protest
against is editorial blindness to the
significance of the facts printed in
their own news columns. We protest
against the mendacious editorial policy
of talsehood respecting the manner in
which the prohibition amendment was
adopted and the charge that it was sud
denly put over on the people without
their having a voice"
