So Milt thinks of a scheme to save all this expense, and puts it on a patriotic basis, so to speak. His office has considerable informa tion which it wishes to get to the pub lie, and the only way to get it to the piiidie free of ehurge is to send it to the newspapers und allow them to print it as news. This has been done during the war, and the pai>crs, always patriotic, have gu en space to such information as they could and which they deemed worthy. The newspapers thought they were doing a fai or for the government. They thought they were making a contribu timi to the cause of the war. Hut now along comes Milt and inti mates that his office should be remuner ated for being so kind as to send these items to the newspapers. Of course tho remuneration is not large — just put his office on the ex change list— that’s all that is asked. We'll put Milt on Ilio list for this week’s issue, but any that the demo cratic state committee wants after that they will have to pay for at the same rate as any other subscriber -and we'll guarantee to give them their money’s worth.
