More Power Newspapers

This federal trade commission revelation Of power
company control Of newspapers gets worse the farther
it goes.
Yesterday southern publisher testified regarding
four Of the thirteen newspapers connected with the In
ternationaI Paper and Power Company.
william Levarre told how he and his partner, Har-
old Hall received advances from the international Of
$4,000 in addition to the amounts finally provided to
buy the spartanburg IS c. Herald and Journal, the
Augusta Ca Chronicle, and the Columbia IS. c.
Record.
According to President GrausteiD Of the Interna-
tional, he gave Levarre and Hall more than 100000
in all for which ne holds notes secured by stock.
In short. Levarre and Hall are the nominal pub
fishers. and the power company is the real owner.
Such relationship is destructive to free press No
matter what the motives Of these men may have been
they have put the brand Of outside interest on those
newspapers And that brand is all the ugner because
1t was kept secret
The public wants and has a right to its news
straight without benefit Of power influence. Once it
knows who controls its newspaper the public is quite
capable OF protecting itself against special interest
sheets.
But the public must know.
Hence the need for the federal trade commission to
find out how many other power companies have been
acquiring newspaper stock and hence the importance
of congress improving the present law. requiring sem
annual publication by newspapers of their ownership
which failed to reveal all the International deals.

The Freedom Of the Port

Despite the fact that New York grand jury con
demned as "un-American" the habit Of granting
freedom Of the port to members of congress who
return to the United States after trips to foreign
countries, it is announced at Washington that the
treasury department will continue the practice.
The freedom Of the port, you doubt know,
permits the recipient to bring his baggage in I'M
examined by customs men. 1t is graceful compli-
ment for a nation to extend to distinguished visitor;
but jusy why congressman coming back from foreign
parts should be accorded the privilege is hard to
MISUNDERSTANDING in view of the public bunch
that not every congressmans luggage is as dry as
it might be.

Another Shame for Illinois
From The Chicago Tribune)

Chicago Tribune)
The Kane county grand Jury mas refused 10 vote
a true bill against Deputy Sheriff Roy Smith, who
killed Mrs Lillian De King in her home at Aurora,
The Killer of the woman thereby was exonerated.
The county enforcement officers, executing the
general instructions of the states attorney Mr.. Car
barry forced their way into the De King home. They
had firearms and a fraudulent warrant. The aft
davit upon which the warrant issued was false,
and that was admitted. The spy who made it has
been indicted He is thrown to the lions but the
killer is protected
De King was beaten on the head with a shotgun.
Mrs. De King was shot and killed she saw her
husband drop as she turned away from the tele
phone where she had been asking lawyer to protect
the family against the acts Of the county deputies
enforcement agents.
Her small son shot the deputy in the leg where
upon agent gave the final touch OF ghaStlness and
insanity to the scene by throwing in tear bomb
Illegally Of procedure, brutality, and irresponsible
ity Of method and heedessness OF law and life could
not have been given an illustration with less con-
science and less humanity
The authorities Of Kane county for a minute were
disturbed by the consequences OF this wsntonnesS,
but rallied under the encouragement of the modern
this encouragement there was a conspiracy in the
county 10 suborn perjury and compound murder.
Mr. Carbary at first uncertain OF his position as
prosecutor and the man responsible for the en-
forcement methods. at last undertook the presents

home was justified and that her killer was guiltless,

The Railroads Safety Record

Although the toll of automobile traffic accidents
continues to mount to higher figures, the rail
ways are yearly becoming safer and safer methods
Of travel.
According to Patrick E, Crowley president of the
New York Central system, only sixteen people were
killed in railroad accidents in the United States in
1923. Considering the fact that the railroads carried
nearly billion passengers last year, this is an ex-
tremely fine record.
Now if only begin to cut down our auto
mobile accidents, everything will be lovely.

R8paration Plan Banned

XXTINSTON CHURCHILL, Brit
wv ish chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer, tells parliament at the
moment Of its dissolution that his
government will not accept Owen
D. Youngs plan for settling the rep
arationS controversy.
Since his statement was applauded
by liberals and laborites as well as
by conservatives. it looks as though
this would be the policy, whether
the government he represents is
continued or some other takes its
place, as a result Of the coming
election.

Farmer Gets Nothing

TARM relief seems to have led us
L into nothing but a scramble for
private privilege at public expense,
A new tariff bill is the outstanding
feature of the squabble
It is one of the worst ever pro
posed and the chances are it will
grow still worse. The farmers de-
mand for relief" has been taken
by every one as a signal to yell for
protection"
Even MI. Grundy wants it for pig

Another Prohibition Killing

Another person has been killed by prohibition en-
forceent officers and the reign Of law and order goes
merrily on.
Last month the victim was a mother in Illinois.
Last week it was youth in the nations capital,
This time it is college boy in Abingdon. Va.
No, these killings are not EXCEPTIONS They have
become tragically common.
The prohibition enforcement roll of the United
States treasury department for the last fifteen months
lists twenty-five killed. That list does not include
local cases like the Illinois mother and the Virginia
boy. So the complete list is much larger.
The Virginia officers, who just shot young James
Kendrick say they "mistook him for rum runner.
He didn't even regain consciousness to hear their
alibis.
Governor Byrd of Virginia, prodded by growing
public Indignation is going to investigate
But this business Of prohibition shooting and in
vestigating, and then more shooting and more in
vestigating, can not go on forever
When is the killing going to stop?

murderers Of the Herrin massacre 1t thus gave its
Endorsement to crime which startled the civilized
world.
Kane county, by the conspiracy Of its moralists
and officials to prevent justice from having even its
day in court for the murder of woman takes on
the color Of williamson in the map of Illinois We
only hope that it will not follow Williamson down
the bloody trail Of arson and murder.

ENGLAND Comedies Much

XX Hal England is asked 70
w concede by the Young plan
seems rather small until one remem-
bers how much England has con-
ceded previously. Of all the allies,
England is the only one that has
agreed to pay her American debt
in full.
She not only has asked no favors
of us, but has made no outcry
while we granted favors to others,
Other allied debts to the United
States have been Whitfield down,
some Of them by more than one
half.
No Concession by j, S,
1T is to be admitted that Mr..
4 Young and his associates are
dealing with difficult situation,
especially because Of the restrictions
apparently laid down by our own
government.
While compelled to ask every ma
ton concerned to concede something
if an adjustment was to be had,
they have been permitted to offer
no concession on the part Of the
United States.
The allies have been informed
that while they must do with less
from Germany, Uncle Sam will not
do with less from them.

Democrats Dumb Again

U6TTTUUT QIo DUTTTU HSdTTT
THE good old Democratic party is
right out in front and doing
somersaults, as usual.
Although still leaning against the
tombstone Of Thomas Jefferson,
who would turn over in his grave
at the thought Of a subsidy, the
Democratic party shouts for de
benture.'
It is for anything to beat the
Republicans, no matter how it has
to wiggIe, squirm, or 60 back on its
principles. Such 4 course explains
why the Democratic party has won
only four elections out of eighteen
since Buchanan left Office.

Beauty of Fog
No. 352.

ONE of the pet fears Of those who do not under

beauty and Imagination. Summed up briefly the
thesis is that the moon is longer beautiful if you

diameter, etc. etc.
As matter Of fact exactly the opposite is true.
