Don't go to the editor of a paper and
ask that a legitimate aews story be kspt

or to the lawyer and ask him to cive up
one of his cases. A wspaper ia a busi

keep out news, you ask it to injure its

sense and it would be a blessing to the
editors if readers would become aroused

Apparently driven to desperation bv
the recent liquor prosecutions, unknown
opponents of the Anti-Saioon League and
ijood Citizenship League of this city,
have retoitid to making threats againet
tbe supposed leaders. In confirmation

United Prtsbyterian church Tuesday
morning received an anonymously sign
ed communication, to the effect that if
the prosecution in tbe liquor cases did
not cease, that the handsome chuica, lo
cated on the corner of Fifth and Wash
ington streets, would be burned. Tbe
unknown writer of the communication Is
supposed to be some radical anti-prohib

Presbyterian church members are back
ing the present liquor prosecutions and is
seeking this underhand means of fright
ening the leader in the cases. Albany
