Palmer Makes Answer

NEW YORK, April 23.-Lincoln B. Palmer, general manager of the Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers association, commenting tonight on the statement of Postmaster General Burleson, alleg- ing organized propaganda designed to effect reduction in postage rates for newspapers and magazines said:
 "It is obvious that the postmaster general does not refer to the newspa- pers, in the quoted paragraph. The newspapers have only the public well fare in mind. They share with the pub lie the shortcomings of the postal ad- ministration.'
 The New York World declined to comment on Mir. Burlesons statement.
 "The repeal of this law is what is now really desired by those attacking the postmaster general. It is believed by some of those affected that this cannot be brought about unless 'Burle- son is gotten rid of The principal lobby is those employed by this asso- citation. which is reputed to have raised thousands of dollars to be used for ac- complishing the repeal of this law, in circular letters, after telling of the number of democratic representatives tOfliultItu lO tHt Itptdl UT lIlS ldN and how it was hoped republican mem Ders could be used. urged certain pup fishers not to confine their attack to the zone law (the increased postage rates), but to. broaden their scole of criticism. Thus the sinister purpose is disclosed.
 Tn fact, as stated, notice was given the postmaster more than year ago what could be expected. if there was not acquiescence on his part in the suspension or repeal of this law. At that time a member of the committee representing those contending for the repeal urged the postmaster general to acquiesce therein. and in the course of conversation bluntly informed him, We have made and unmade many congressman. We ruined Postmaster General Hitchcock and destroyed Mir. Taft We realize that without your aid we may not be able to secure relief now, but we will see what can be done i with the next congress-
 Publisher Makes Threats
 Later, a we'll known publisher called ] on the postmaster general and also urged him to recommend the suspen- sion or repeal of this law, saying te 1 him;
 "1f you will aid or acquiesce in the
Arizona republican., 1919-04-24

repeal of this law, we will make you
 the most popular man in the Wilson
 cabinet, but if you do not, I fear they
 vii ruin you
 These two statements were made to
 the postmaster general in the presence
 of the first assistant postmaster gen. eral. The postmaster general spurned
 them both and is now confronted with
 the efforts of those self interests, through systematic propaganda, steal
 thily concealing their real purpose by
 creating false and falsifying news,
 misrepresentation of facts, and appeals
 to prejudice, to destroy the postmaster general, thereby aiding in the repeal of the law, thus enabling them to re-
 sume the enjoyment of a postal subsidy
 of over s70,000,000 per annum, which must be taken out of the pockets of the other users of the mail.
 Tt might not be wise at this time to suggest it, but as matter of fact, jus | tice, as between the users of the yari- ous classes of mail, would require an | increase of their postage rate, instead of reduction. The general public for | years suffered a loss of millions of dollars by the transportation of sec l ond-class mail at much less than cost.
 A large percentage of this mail is not 1 printed and distributed for educational
 but solely for commercial purposes. "Even under the zone law, after the | maximum rates have been reached, l there will still be an annual loss of
 more than s50,000,000 to be made up by the general public. This makes
 clear the exact interest the owners of
 certain newspapers and magazines
 have, in the effort now on foot, to discredit the postmaster general.
 | T do not object to criticism having
 behind it any honest purpose. On the 1 contrary, it is welcomed: but it is re- l gretted that many conscientious pub | fishers who desire to be fair are fre- quently unwittingly misled by those willing to resort to base means for the
 accomplishment of sinister purposes. E

Fall of Crowned Heads During 4 Years of War Foretell Coming of Christ,
 Says Evangelist Ragsdale. Large Crowds Hear His Address

when called of God to come out of UT of Chaldea; today the steamship, the railway, the automobile, and the afro plane service affords men opportunity for men to run to and fro making dis tances no object of consideration.
 MT. Ragsdale recognized that the perplexity among the nations has met it's climax the last four years. Since July 1914 twenty-five crowns have fall en from the crown heads of Europe. The political and sociaI unrest is an evidence on every hand.
 The apostle James speaks plainly that in the last days men would heap treasures together. Never in the history of the world has there been such mas sfve fortunes gathered together as to- day, and the struggle between capital and labor is taking on such proportions that it is bringing serious thot to the governments of earth; but the admoni- tion comes from the Lord, be patient establish your hearts, for the coming oi the Lord draweth nigh.

Just before Christ finished his work upon the earth, he gave his disciples definite signs of his second coming, so those seeing these signs would know His Coming was near even at the doors," were the opening remarks of Evangelist Ragsdale at the gospel tent last night.
 Using the words of our Saviour in Luke 21: % 26, There shall be signs in the sun, moon, and stars and distress of nations and perplexity." The speak CT showed clearly that the darkening of the sun and moon May 19, 17S0 and the falling of the stars Nov. IS, 1883 fulfilled the prediction of our Saviour and marks the opening of the genera ton of those who would see Jesus come 'It is our privilege to know when he IS near, even at the door but no man knoweth the day, or hour of his com ing"

that if the treaty were read to the Germans, it would require at least one minute for each of the 1000 articles the document contains, taking up two days of eight hours each.
