WHO CONTROLS THE PRESS.

Dr Frederick Lynch contributes article to the Christian Herald controverting the conten- tion of Andrew Segfred, the French author who wrote America Comes of Age" that the edi- torial policies of American newspapers vir- tualy controlled by the big National advertisers. Dr. Lynch calls attention in his article to the completeness of the refutation by the American press of similar charge made by Upton Sinclair in his "The Brass Check" and other writings, and quotes NJ. E. Tracy of the less radical Scrpps-How newspapers (there about thirty of them), who said that in his thirty years of newspaper experience he had known of only four instances where advertisers advertiser had even attempted control the editorial policy of daily newspaper
 In fact Dr. Lynch presents only two instances that would seem to corroborate the contention of segfried. One Ralph Pulitzer publisher of the New York World, who said the World had lost millions of dollars by attacking various in- terests The other was William Allen White who said the American press is tremendously property minded"
 We are of the opinion that Mr. Pulitzer aggerated, and was, perhaps, doing little brag ging and boosting for the World We know of no authenticated where there has been any attempt on the part of large advertisers to in- fuence the editorial position of daily newspapers
 daily newspaper. William Allen White, of course, often sees ghosts He is very scary when the road is dark that he cannot see clearly.
 Henry J. Haskell, Kansas City Times, came than any of them in stating the case when he said, 'it is not the advertisers of whom the editor is afraid. but the readers
 The fact is that there is business and newspaper publication is mostly business that is so quickly affected by the prosperity poverty of the people than a newspaper. Most news nrObablV this account and support and measures that they believe will add to the prosperity of their readers In this respect they are much like Chambers of Commerce and other commercial organizations That may be called selfshness, but it is the sort of selhshness that is called public spirit when it is found in an individual Many newspapers and probably the conspicuous of the kind in metropolitan journalism is the New York World hew exactly to the line set by the editors , as marking the division between truth and bun combe and right and wrong, regardless of what the immediate effect on the business of the coun- try their particular fields. That is the reason that the New York World is called the newspap- erman's newspaper" It refuses to stand for bun combe and has sacred cows. There is scarcely a subject that 1t bars, and it applies to every thing the keen, educated scientific and civilized minds of perhaps the ablest and sanest group of editors engaged a single American newspaper
 However, started out to compliment pr. Lynch for his article in the Christian Herald It was in the interest of truth and fair play and it well done.

c. o. P. GETS MOST MONEY.

Contributions to the Republican National cam paign up to date exceeded those for the Demo- cratic by more than $140,00 The total collec- tions up to September 1 for the Republi- cans S65S,41 and for the Democrats $516,500. It is understood that both parties are organized so that they get the necessary funds they are needed. Both had money in the treasury. The Democratic fund reported did not include S50,000 received from Pierre du Pont nor $1O, 900 received from Edward S Hardness, Standard Oil official. both of whom supporting Gov Smith as Republicans account, mostly, of the Pro hibition issue, and both of whose checks were received after the 1st of September.

More Or Less True

Not even a spoiled egg is any more useless than spoiled child.
 If husbands lived up to their promises fewer wives would be living on. alimony and if hair ton ics did too, fewer heads would look like a full moon.
 The trouble in a lot of homes is that all the sacrificing, like the homework, is considered mothers job
 A man can shut his eyes to keep from looking at his wife's homely face, but Nature failed to arrange his ears so he could tune them out on her ugly remarks.
 Every wife knows that if she was the kind of wife her husband thinks she ought to be, she'd look like the wreck of the Hesperus before she was 35. ' The reason father doesn't ever expect to retire is because you can't retire on unpaid bills and there is no such person as Santa Claus.
 Our guess is that if long skirts ever came back the flappers will insist on having them made of ma terial that will be as opaque as plate glass.
