w i I I, it h u EVENING ' PUBLIC. !' LORIMER REPLIES TO COX'S AUACK Editor Answers Charge of Un fair Partisanship Made by Cox ASKS BETTER GOVERNMENT "A ulncorp dcslro for better nml more efficient government," which is not uti falr nflrtinustiin, netunted Uic staml taken by the Hnturdny Evcnlnc l'ost In the present emnrmlim. This in the answer of Oeorge Horace Lorlmer. editor of the Tost, to Gover nor Cox's second attack on the attitude of this publication. The Drmorrntlc nominee's first attack was iuplred bv n cartoon appearing In this week's l'ost. Mr. Larimer re plied to the Bovernor's nsnttlt. nnd this reply drew another broadside from Mr. Cox. Answering the necond nttnek, Mr. Lorlmer todav issued this statement : "The editor of the Saturday KvenlnR Tost cannot view this campaign in the npirit of flovtrnor Cox. as a purely partian affair. The whole future of America is hound up in a right de cision at the polls next Tuesday. Any journal that, having honest views, fallo to express them at this time is beneath contempt nnd should forfeit the re spect of every decent American. "Thla week's issue of the Saturday Evening Post is now on the newsstnnds. and it speaks for Itself. Its contents can no longer sofelj be made the basis for misrepresentation. My respouse to (lovemor Cox's first statement was that his charges were not only unethical, but that they were untrue, nnd no one nhould know this better than the gov ernor himself Animus Is Kfficlont "It is common knowledge flint the Saturday Evening l'ost is not Influenced in its stand by a desire for more circu lation, because for some time now it has cut the orders for its edition sev eral hundred thousand copies weekly. If it were, as Governor Cox charges, u large beneficiary of advertising growing out of the excess -profits tax, its course in vigorously attacking that section of the revenue bill from week to week would be suicidal. In short, the animus behind Governor Cox's charges must be apparent to even the simplest mind. ine real explanation of tua stand tnken by the Saturday Evening Post durln the past yenr has not occurred and probably could not occur to him: that it grew out of a sincere desire for better and more efficient ovornment. "Partisanship, to Governor Cox, menus being ngninst him nnd what he stands for. T,hc Saturday Evening Post has ahvnys bad perfectly clear-cut opin ions on politics and other subjects ntid has never hesitated to express them, whether iliey were unpnlntnblc to cither or both of the old parties and their can didates. Our policies In this respect nre perfectly well known to the public, nnd quite unchnuged, I repeat that when we stood for the re-election of Mr. Wilson In the Inst days before ilie last election, neither Governor Cox nor any other Democrat found anything either "par tisan" or "Insidious" In our action. "Governor Cox personally Is of sec ondary importance in this campaign, but the Democratic candidate, weighed in the balances of bis public utterances, has proved himself merely a polltlcinn using the Wthods of the sensational Journalist, The record of the Demo cratic party since the nriulstico has been one of incompetence, waste and failure to do the things that arc neces sary to the salvation of America. If we saw the slightest hope for better things in Governor Cox we should not hesitate to indorse him, but he has had his chance to prove up nml he has failed; Democracy has had its chance and it has failed. ' "Governor Cox uses the stock argu ments of the demagogue In his remarks about the suit before the Federal Trade Commission, He asserts, too, that no, man who represents a just cause has any objecU6n to prcsntlng both sides of the case. He stntes that nu order Issued by the Federal Trade Commis sion caused the Curtis Publishing Co. to "cense and desist" In the enforce ment of a contract made with its agents for their exclusive services in the dis tribution of the company's publica tions. He falls to state, however, that oi the claim that that decision was "unfnir, unjust nnd unwarranted." an appeal was made to the United States District Court of Appeals. As the cae Is still before that body, comment upon its merits would, as Governor Cox knows, be improper at this time. However, the first step In this action wns in the form of an application for a temporary injunction by n women's publication in New York, which appli cation was argued before Hon. Augustus N Hand, the judge of the United States District Court In New York city, and from that decision I may miotc the following: " 'The system involves the appoint ment by the defendant of district "' ''''KW ' v (V "' , 'sv c LED0TPHTJTJAI)ELPHI IDAY, OCTOBEK' 20, 1920 v "i - tfS- J?." H agents, who select the boys and teach them to soil. Sometimes the defendant has selected m Its district agents wholesalers who had an existing staff of "newsboys. More often the, district agents nnd their' staff of boys hnvetbeen started and developed from the beginning through the labors of the defendant. Tho marked success of defendant's system has at tracted the complalnnnt, and the lattcf desires to avail .itself of defendant's wholesale agents without the expense which Is Involved in building up such a system as the defendant has employed, Whnt complainant evidently desires Is not merely to sell to these wholesalers, which It can do already In cases where tho wholesalers have the retail trade and to the extent of that rcfall trade; but to avail itself of the organization of the Curtis boys, built up by tho Ingenuity, labor and capital of the defendant) Tho defendant, in insisting upon maintaining the Integrity of its system, is not, in my opinion, guilty of unfair trade. On the' con trary, the complainant, in attempting to avail Itself of this system, is engaging in unfnir trade.
