they are an Irresistible temptation to petty tevery and
that they unfair to newspaper dealers in stores.
The paper which printed the letter took the occasion to
print an editorial only agreeing with the letter but point
ing out in addition large loss to Washington papers
through the theft Of papers from the racks.
The TIMES does agree with the charge that the people
Washington any appreciabe amount unable to resist
the temptation steal It charge that might merit Wig

THE TIMES HAS PERFECT FAITH IN THE HONESTY

HAS NO FEAR WHATEVER THAT THEY CANNOT OVER
COME THE URGE TO BECOME PETTY THIEVES.
Big retail stores constantly afflicted with shopEtters
but managers would laugh at any suggestion that they
refrain from displaying goods the counters because OF the
temptation to thieves
wish say also with regard the assertion that the
racks unfair dealers that The TIMES still adheres
to the good odashioned policy which the other evening
newspaper for the moment has forgotten that the READER is
newspapers first consideration.
These racks are installed for the convenience Of the
READER and represent step in the modern distribution OF
newspapers We might add that Washington store dealers in
newspapers sell newspapers than ever before
As for the loss to newspapers through perng from the
racks The TIMES is the only Washington paper which sells
nc the racks for cents AL the others sell for cents 1t
does not require much mental arithmetic to figure which
paper would be the heaviest loser.
But The TIMES is not worrying because let repeat WE
