Kg SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1920. * PAID ADVERTISEMENT Water comes to quench the physical thirst of the human race. Water @oes not control the elements com ing into it; therefore, if spring water ®ushes forth through channels and beds of arsenic poison. or if enough eyanide of potassium is emptied into the spring, the water will bring @eath instead of sustaining life, It ts well to have antidotes on hand, &nd to study the different symptoms Produced by different poisons, if one has reasons to believe that the water is contaminated. So tt is with the ewspapers. They record and report tous the happenings and the things at transpire beyond our vision and the audible sounds which reach us If headlines of hate are used, if facts Are suppressed or perverted, half. truths are told, and brazen lies are published, then the channels through Which information comes to the pub- Hic are poisoned by rotten minds and diseased souls. Twenty-five Vately-owned free press and similar Magazines were devoting much space and effort in expoging wrongs Perpetrated on the public by special Privilege. It was this constant ex posure that made a publicity depart Ment necessary, and today we find & very large percentage of news papers and magazines owned or con trolied by the profiteering institu- tions. Today also we find that the ‘War formerly carried op between the Monopolies and newspapers has shift ed and is now being waged by special privilege against co-operative effort to compete with them—-war on the ‘Triple Alliance, war on the Nonpar tisan League, war on Labor. war on the Grange, war on the President, ‘war on the Committee of Forty-eight, War on everything that cannot be tilixed to perpetuate the power of the profitecrs.
