The Register fails to sense the true spirit of the uplift, or
it would realize that local officials cannot be trusted to
enforce such important laws, that more officials are the
crying need of the hour, that drastic penalties must be
provided, and that real reform rests only In the federal
government, even if it is necessary to enact a constitutional
amendment to permit its functioning. Think of the back

notifies the Capital Journal in
editorial entitled "For Uplift and Shakedown :
Beveral business men phoned that this will mean a loss of several
hundred dollars of advertising.
All of which is very sad, but any advertiser who patronizes
the Capital Journal in order to control its policy is wasting
his money.
For the unenlightened it must be reiterated that the
Capital Journal sells only that commodity known an adver
tising, not editorial opinion or news. The advertiser who
expects to control editorial policy or secure free reading
notices as a bonus with his advertising contract will be dis
appointed. The Capital Journal only guarantees results, and
is used simply because it pays advertisers.
So, whether this note is a threat to coerce editorial policy
or merely to compel free publication of propaganda, makes
little difference, it is equally futile.
