Newsprint Firms
Prosecution Urged

Holding that scarcity of newsprint
paper, which has handicapped Amer
lean newspapers to be "more the re-
suit of artificial distinctions than
of natural laws" the Senate CON-
mittee which investigated the paper
situation recommended that the De-
partment of Justice institute pro-
ceedings under the Sherman and
Clayton Acts against print paper
manufacturers.
Manufacturers we're charged by
the committee with unjust, illegal and
discriminatory practices. Present
prices for newsprint paper were held
by the committee to be Excessive
and unwarranted."
Other recommendations made by.
the committee include:
Establishment of a federal news
print board "to supervise the manu-
facture of print paper" should gov
eminent efforts to maintain a rea-
sonable price fail.
Amendment of the Lever food con-
troll Act to penalize profiteering in
ncwsprint paper.
Imposition of an excise tax of 10
cents on Sunday newspapers weigh
ing more than 1.28 pounds a copy so
as to limit such editions to 80 pages
until an adequate paper supply can
be secured.
Appropriation of 100000 for the
purpose of experimenting with substi-
tutes for wood pulp.
Establishment of a rate of l cent
q pound on sheet print paper to any
part. of the country when sent by
parcel post without increasing the
limit of 20 pounds provided
lnder the postal regulations.
The committee also recommended
hat consideration be given by the
government to the establishment of
lewsprint paper mill to simply the
governments needs and any surplus
PAPER to be sold to small consum-
RS.
The report was submitted to the
senate just before adjournment by
senator David l. Walsh, Democrat,
f Massachusetts.
The' report is based on extensive
earrings held by the committee, at
'hich testimony from newspaper and
eriodical publishers and paper
dealers and jobbers
as heard.
Publishers of small newspapers
ere declared by the report to be in !
lie hands of the "unscrupulous prof !
GERS and explorers" while even
lie "large newspaper publishers are !
the mercy of the manufacturers" I
The report added that it "was not,
Id still is not. safe for a publisher Q
any way to criticise or protest to =

 UP TO IT You Feel That Way If Your Blood Is Starved for
 Red Cells PEPTO-MANGAN MAKES
 RED BLOOD Overcomes That Languid Feel. ing That Cheats You Out of Work and Fun

You say, q wish I could go. but don't feel able" Your friends say, Are you ill?"
 You are not exactly sick, you just feel unable to approach work or play in the old vigorous spirit.
 The high speed at which Americans live sometimes taxes their strength The blood is weak, lacking in red cells. When this condition exists, Guides Pepto-Mangan, taken three times a day, shows quick benefits. Pepto- Mangan is known to physicians as The Red Blood Builder. It increases the supply of rich, healthy blood and in the absence of deep seated disease this means health and strength for men or women or children.
 Pepto Mangan is put up in both liquid and tablet form. Both forms are exactly alike in medicinal quali- ties. When you order Pepto Mangan, be sure to ask the druggist for Guides" And look for the name "Gude's" on the package. If "Gude's" is not there, 1t is not Pepto- -Mangan.- Adv.

 PRESIDENTS LETTER
 President Wilson's letter to Senator Glass follows:
 ''The White House,
 May 2S, 1920. My Dear Senator Glass: Thank you for sending me the copy of the plat form recently adopted by the demo crats of Virginia. Aside from the purely personal references which, of course, I deeply appreciate, let me say to you, my dear senator, that the senti- ments expressed in this notable docI- ment are in full accord with my own views, especially the statements which set forth the attitude of the party on the League of Nations and the press ing problems of peace, finance and re- construction. These are the clear-cu unequivocal principles of patriotic men who know how to serve their country and mankind.
 Surely this platform recites rec ord of achievement in which all Americans have a just cause for pride and reorganization. Cordially and sin cerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON"

WOOD CLEARED OF CHARGES, BUT HIS
 PROSPECTS INJURED

papers. A practical man like John T..
 King got out of the Wood campaign because he saw this and the expensive headquarters and all the other show win dow stuff were waste of money.
 Frank H. Hitchcock, another practical man with the Wood campaign, con- stantly quarreled with Colonel Procter because he, too, said all the ballyhoo expenditures were a waste of money.
 They made a noise, but they didn't get the delegates.
 General Wood may be acquitted of re- sponsbility for the foolish methods Of his management. He was politically ig- ncrant. He was told that the only way he could get over was with much beat
 ing of drums and other loud noises. And he was told that loud noises cost
 much money.
 He was at the outset the most dis tinguished figure in his party whom age
 and other considerations did not make unavailable for the presidency He em- bodied in his person and his views pretty well the general attitude of the vast majority of his party. Had Se, like McAdoo, been content to stand aside, keep out of the primaries, refuse all the booming, he would today be as likely to
 be named by the republicans as Mir. Mo
 Adoo is by the democrats.
 FACED TWO DANGERS When he decided to be an open candi- date he faced two dangers-the like
 lihood of being killed off by the 700 igreat skill of the professional such as
 King and Hitchcock, and the likelihood of being ruined by the excessive zeal of amateurs. He did not successfully avoid either danger.
 Hitchcock is a liability of GendPei Woods. The party organization disliKes
 and distrusts him. Colonel Procter is a 1 lia bility of General Woods. He has been responsible for a foolish expeniture and a foolish self-consciousnes about Ax- penditures.
 1 Washington guesses that Procter and Hitchcock together have eliminated Wood Washington may be wrong. The | convention will take cooler view of the situation. The convention must have a candidate and neither the primaries nor the talk of dark horses has been fruit | full of big candidates.
 | General Wood is morally undamaged | by all that has come out except as faI as fool friends can damage man.
