FREEDOM OF PRESS
PRAISED BY MAGEE
Stormy Petrol of New Mexico
Tells Advertisers About
Journalistic Fight.

Carl c. Magee, editor of the Albu-
qerque (New Mexico) State Tribune.
and the man whose Journalistic career
fomented turmoil not only in his
own State, but eventually led to the
famous Tea Pot Dome investigation
by Congress, told the Washington
Advertising Club something about
New Mexico justice" and his expert
ences in the fight, at the clubs regular
luncheon in the City Club today.
Mr.. Magee declared that the most
fundamental thing before the Amer
lean people today is the freedom of
the press, and asserted that modern
democracies have been allowed to pros.
per only because the invention of
the printing press made it possible for
the voice of liberty and idealism to
reach all Of the people.
No Pink Tea Matter.
I'VE are privileged by the Con-
stitution to speak our mind in the
press IN this country, limited only
by the logical rights of the indi-
viduals to defend characters when
untruthfully assailed," Mr.. Magee
said. But the printing of truth in
the press is something more than a
privilege, it ise a duty, and it should
be done when conditions call and
the occasion arises in no pink tea
fashion.
Continuing, Mr. Magee said that
when he fiINt went to New Mexico to
assume the editorship of a paper he
was confronted by what he believes
was the worst political and financial
combination that existed in any
State. He declared that by playing
upon the ignorance of the illiterate
so per cent Of the voting population,
this organization had seized control
of New Mexicos finances and had so
throttled the press that not a news
paper in the State dared oppose it.
The new editors first clash occur
red with Albert B. Fall, former Secre
tary of the Interior When Mr.. Magee
declined to discontinue criticizing Mr.
Falls conduct of the Land Office, the
latter told him fatty, the editor said
that he would break" him. It was
| only few days later, the speaker
said, when the banks called in a $50,
900 note it held on the paper. Mr.
Magee declared. however, that when
he published the facts and told the
people of the State they would have
to buy up the bonds or see his paper
SelZeu, lHey SupplleU the necessary
$50, 900 well ahead Of the time before
the banks could foreclose the note.
Mr.. Magee declared that conditions
in New Mexico are repaidly being
righted The courts no longer dare
blindly follow the dictation Of dishon-
est politicians, he said, and there is
not now a newspaper in the State
that is afraid to speak it's mind often
and freely if the protection of public
interest demands it.

Noise of Wedding
Parties Cars Hit
In Note to Officials

The "so-called humorists" who
tie everything to the family f1ivver
except the bathtub and sink and
ride around the business section Of
Washington to celebrate a we'd
ding were given severe jolt to-
day by Frank S. Hight, managing
director Of the Willard Hotel.
Protesting to the District Com
missioners against the "unneces-
sary" noises of wedding celebrants,
Mr.. Hight said:
1T is fully realized that in the
business section of the town there
are certain noises which must be
endured, but it is equally true that
there are certain unnecessary
noises which should not need to be
endured, and one of these is that
which is caused by the so-called
humorists, who rig up an automo-
bile containing bridal couple with
ribbons and then dash madly
through the streets with the horn
on that car and the four or five
cars following it blowing contin-
ually.''
Mr.. Hight's complaint was refer
red to Maj. Edwin B. Hesse. super
intendent of police.

Contrasting sharply with the expe'

sank long puts from the edge of the

Ada Mackenzie Of Toronto, the Ca

score of "Newberryism." 1t was Pom
creme who submitted the minority re-
port Of the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections denouncing New
herryS $4,000 primary campaign in
Michigan and calling for his expulsion

Republican 1926 primaries in Pennsyl-

Willis merCilessly for his conduct

Pomerene hopes before many more

former Attorney General was facing

that Harry Daugherty is as clean as

President Coolidge deposed Daugherty
as head Of the Department Of Justice.
. That eulogY OF the man now fighting
court at New York is rising up to
smite Senator Willis. Should Daugh-
erty be found guilty in Judge Mack's

TO turn the scales against Senator
Willis in November.

State Is Doubtful.

Observations in Cleveland, the COM
mercial and political metropolis Of the
State, indicate clearly that Ohio in
1925 must be considered a doubtful
State. Calvin Coolidge carried it in
1924, after nomination on the lake
hound shores of Cuyahoga County, by
the fat majority of 100000 over Davis
and La Toilette combined. But Gov.
Donahey. Democrat. on the same oc-
casion was reelected by 10000. This
year, owing to the personal strength
Of Atlee Pomerene and DOnahey's
achieved power as a two-tern COVER
nor. Ohio is ranked by both the Demo
Gratis and Republicans as a field from
which one party is as likely as the
other to emerge triumphant.
Senator Willis himself Is fully
aware of the danger that turks in the
situation for the G. O. p, even in a
State normally Republican by 400 900.
His hurried call upon President Cool
idge in Washington last week, almost
before the President had time to
reach his desk at the White House, Is
interpreted in Cleveland as an unmis-
taxable SOS. Willis asked and re
ceived the Presidents g assurances that

administration spokesman, like Secre-
tafN hoover, ana d0l1nlStTdtlon sup
