DOUBLE THE LOCAL CIRCULATION
OF ANY OTHER PAPER
THE CIRCULATION LIAR
About one year ago the United States
passed a law calling upon the newspapers
of the country to make public informa-
tion regarding' their private business that
is required of no other business enter-
prises in existence. It was class legisla-
tion of the rankest sort. The Light did
not approve the law at the time it was
passed and does not approve of it now.
Its objections to the law are not based
upon any reluctance to comply with its
provisions but on the fact that the law
singles out newspapers as the one class
of commercial enterprise in the United
States which shall make public its pri-
vate affairs. The law is unfair discrim-
inatory and one-sided. These are suffi-
cient objections to any law in any com-
munity.
The law has however one positive
merit. It calls upon newspapers to make
public under oath the amount of their
circulation. The Light has always be-
lieved in this and its circulation books
always have been are now and always
will be open to the investigation of any
person who cares to satisfy himself as to
the accuracy of the statements made re-
garding it.
Unfortunately the publicity law does
not in itself provide for the punishment
of the circulation liar. All the penalty
it imposes is forfeiture of the privileges
of the mails for non-compliance with the
law. There is nothing in the law to pre-
vent unscrupulous publishers from claim-
ing “25000 daily and 30000 Sunday”
when they have not half of such a circu-
lation. A way has however been found
to punish the man who lies about the
circulation of his newspaper.
If in order to escape responsibility
the owner publisher or editor induces
a subordinate to make a false sworn
statement he can be punished for sub-
ornation of perjury under a federal
statute and made to suffer the same pen-
alty as an actual perjurer.
Here is the federal statute relating to
perjury:
Every person who. having taken an oath before a
competent tribunal officer or person. in any case In
which a lav of the United States authorizes an oath
to be administered that he will testify declare de-
pose or certify truly or that any written testimony
declaration deposition or certificate by him sub-
scribed is true willfully and contrary to such oath
states or subscribes any material matter which he
does not believe to be true. Is guilty of perjury and
•hall be punished by a fine of not more than 82000
and by Imprisonment at hard labor not more than
five years; and shall moreover thereafter be in-
capable of giving testimony in any court of the
United States until such time as ths judgment
•gainst him is reversed.
The statute for the subornation of per-
jury is as follows:
Every person who procures another to commit
any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury and
punishable a* In the preceding section prescribed.
It might be possible for the subor-
ner to clear his own skirts of perjury by
declaring that he had taken an oath he
“believed to be true” but there is no such
escape for the employer who induced him
to make the oath which the employer
knew to be a lie.
There is not a reputable newspaper in
the United States which is not anxious to
see the enforcement of the federal laws
regarding newspaper circulation. There
is not an advertiser in the country who
knows anything whatever about the ad-
vertising business who does not desire
the same thing.
For many years a false circulation af-
fidavit was regarded as a joke. Today
it is a crime.
Because there was no federal law on
the subject and because state officials
I neglected their duty the circulation liars
! have heretofore escaped. Now that news-
papers are forced to make sworn state-
ments to the government nothing but
J neglect of their sworn duty on the part
| of federal officials will prevent the prose-
i cution of those newspaper publishers who
। deliberately falsify their circulation state-
ment or permit them to be falsified.
Any advertiser has the right to call
upon any newspaper publisher for a copy
of his last sworn statement. He has also
the’ right to ask that publisher to prove
the statement was accurate at the time it
was made. If the proof is not forthcom-
ing he has the right to take the matter
to the federal grand jury.
Evil days are ahead of the circulation
liar.
A RAY OF HOPE
Dr. Cook is at it again. He has an en-
gagement in London vaudeville between
a mimic and an acrobat which is quite
a fitting place on the program and he
is telling audiences nightly how he dis-
covered the North Pole. He has no
"properties” for the act not even the box
of instruments that Harry Payne Whit-
ney buried at Etah nor the records "at
the pole” that those two worthies whose
names are forgotten were hired to fake
for him at New York.
On the opening night of his London
engagement the genial doctor met with
several unpleasant experiences. His abuse
of Admiral Peary failed to make a hit
and after one especially nasty allusion
someone in the audience called him a
liar and was roundly applauded. At this
the Brooklyn man asked for "Christian”
fair play and enough people in the audi-
ence saw the humor of this from him to
laugh immoderately whereupon the stage
manager cut the tabloid lecture short and
insisted that the doctor be rehearsed some
more before another show.
This Is too bad. If an audience cannot
be allowed to laugh at Dr. Cook what
in the name of goodness is the vaude-
ville stage coming to? Would they have
him egged as at Copenhagen where the
citizens remembered the wreath of roses
they had aforetime placed around his
neck?
It does not appear that the doctor was
himself at all sensitive about the laugh-
ter: at any rate he ought to be able to
stand anything by now. But it does seem
a pity it was stopped. The scorn and
contempt of a whole world having made
no impression on his rhinosceros skin it
might be that laughter continued long
enough and earnestly enough would be
the one thing that would induce him to
disappear again—and stay disappeared.
The doctor has aroused disgust ever
since his little bubble burst but he is be-
coming tiresome which is almost worse.
FARM TENANCY IN TEXAS
Compulsory education and raising of
the ad valorem school tax from 17 cents
to 20 cents are the means that F. M.
Bralley. former state superintendent of
public instruction and now in charge of
the extension department of the Univer-
sity of Texas has proposed for lifting
the yoke of farm tenancy from the rural
population of the state. Quoting Mr.
Carver in charge of the rural organiza-
tion service of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Mr. Bralley in a de-
liberate formal statement says: “Next
to war pestilence and famine the worst
thing that can happen to a rural com-
munity is absentee landlordism.” Mr.
Bralley goes on to show that not only
is the ratio of farm tenants to farm own-
ers growing larger but that the ratio of
country folk to town folk is steadily
growing smaller. This is a double mis-
fortune for the danger zone is being ap-
proached from both sides of the line of
safetv.
But what one might ask have compul-
sory education and a higher tax rate to
do with farm tenancy and its attendant
and resultant evils? Doubtless there are
some who will say that these conditions
are due to “economic” causes but not
pausing to consider what a broad field is
covered by that ever-ready term. Cer-
tainly the causes are economic but in a
broader sense than that belonging to the
common conception of the word. From
the statistics cited by Mr. Bralley it is
plain that the inadequacy of rural edu-
cational facilities has reacted upon the
rural population's standards of living and
that this contraction of human wants has
in turn found reaction in reduced educa-
tional facilities. When it is borne in
mind that civilization grows only as hu-
man wants expand the inevitable effect
of the pressure from both sides may he
more readily realized. Illiteracy makes
[ for an increase in farm tenancy and farm
tenancy makes for an increase in illh-
eraev.
There are thousands upon thousands
of farm tenants in Texas whose stand-
ards of living are so low that they would
not improve their condition materially if
they owned the land that they half-culti-
vate. They are ignorant of the possibili-
ties of scientific farming artd they let
sons and daughters grow up in ignorance
just as their parents allowed them to do.
From generation to generation this class
moves about from rented farm to rented
farm; as the children grow up even
though many of them go to the city it is
inevitable that the tenant class should be-
come larger and larger. These farmers
deceive themselves into believing that
they cannot spare their sons from the
farm work and the result is that the
attendance at rural schools is small.
Raising the school tax as proposed by
Mr. Bralley might prove a first-aid rem-
edy in that it would furnish better rural
school facilities. Then compulsory edu-
cation might be used with good effect as
a regular treatment. “Compulsory” is a’
harsh-sounding word to a people steeped
in ideas of abstract freedom but its ne-
cessity is attested by laws regulating al-
most all phases of life in civilized com-
munities. There is no more inveterate
offender than ignorance. Education
would go a long way toward ameliorat-
ing the conditions described by Mr. Bral-
ley and if some such remedy as he pre-
scribes is not applied the present ten-
dency toward “absentee landlordism” may
proceed unchecked.
RABBIT FOR A YEAR
Benjamin Fusari of St. Louis does not
care for rabbit stew because of which
taste he is in serious trouble. Mrs. Fu-
sari had prepared stewed rabbit for sup-
per one evening a week or so ago and
Mr. Fusari coming home with a grouch
threw’ it out of the window. His ex-
planation given to a police magistrate
after the excitement which this started
was over was that he didn’t consider rab-
bit fit to eat.
Rabbit as an article of food is a highly
debatable subject and one not to be light-
ly settled one way or the other. Those
who like rabbit—and they include many
excellent people—maintain that there is
no delicacy to compare with it. Those
who take the negative of the debate—-
and their number is legion—aver that
thev had as soon eat a house cat.
Realizing this division of otherwise con-
genial people into two parts those who
like rabbit and those who don’t it would
almost seem as though the magistrate
might have suggested to Mrs. Fusari that
it would be well in future for her to eat
rabbit if she wanted to but to provide
something else for Benjamin. Not so
from which it may be guessed that the
magistrate is among those who like rab-
bit. He fined Benjamin $200 which in
the absence of money with which to pay
it meant 200 days in the bastile. and then
remitted the fine on the condition that
Fusari promise to eat whatever his wife
provided for a whole year whether it be
steak with mushrooms or rabbit with
pickles.
The prisoner promised humbly and if
he can stand it he will eat rabbit here-
after as often as his wife wants to give
it to him. There will be people who will
think he would have been punished less
had he served the 200 days but for all
they know the warden of the jail may also
like rabbit and make the unhappy pris-
oners eat it. Besides there was nothing
in the agreement to prevent Benjamin
eating at a lunch room on rabbit oc-
casions.
North and South America.
South America 1s more and more preoccu-
pied with observing her sister of the north.
Visits travels for study excursions a* repre-
sentatives of commerce and manufactures suc-
ceed each other without interruption. Truly
the south should not complain but it is well
to consider whether this movement of intense
interest and curiosity on the part of an emi-
nently practical people whose every act is
determined by a utilitarian end is proof of
progress realized by the southern hemisphere.
The Americans of the north feel that a new
economic force is moving in this part of the
continent that a new theater of production
and consumption is opening with which it is
indispensable that they should be united in
commercial relations and that the activities
of exchange should be augmented and intensi-
fied. It is announced that after so many ex-
cursionists have come to us from the United
States of the north more are coming next Feb-
ruary. representing various chambers of com-
merce of Boston and other places among
whom will be 160 from Chicago all of whom
are preparing to make visits to the principal
cities of South America. We are really obliged
to admire the remarkable spirit of method
which attends the slightest actions of this
Yankee people whose ideal and religion Is
“material progress.”- -Le Rresil Economique.
California Altitudes.
The United States geological survey has just
completed the topographic mapping of Cali-
fornia and has placed bench marks showing
altitudes at more than four thousand points.
Those points vary considerably In altitude
ranging from one In the Salton region 257
feet below’ sea level to the summit of Mount
Whitney 14.501 feet above the sea. Many of
the datum points established in the Salton
region however • have possibly been lost to
view on account of the flooding of Salton sea
several years ago when the Colorado river
broke through its banks.
Engineers and surveyors who need accu-
rately determined points from which to start
surveys of any kind find the spirit-leveling
bulletins published by the geological survey
of value. Although the survey's published
maps show the elevations of points within
the areas mapped these elevations are ap-
proximate. whereas the elevations listed in
the bulletins are given to the thousandth of
a foot.—Indianapolis News.
Faddists Going Too Far.
The bureau of chemistry of the federal gov-
ernment Is advising drastic governmental ac-
tion to prevent the indiscriminate sale of such
habit-forming drugs as cocaine. That Is just
the trouble with these government officials.
They think they can step in and interfere
with business any time they please on the
flimsy excuse that it is hurting the public.
They are forever mussing round and trying to
stop the sale of sawdust life preservers ana
clay candy and rotten eggs and adulterated
foods and all that. They are faddists dream-
ers Impractical men. Probably there isn't
one of them ever made a hundred thousand
dollars in his life by selling the public bread
1 pills for curing consumption. They haven’t
any respect for vested interests. You never
ran drive it into their heads that business IS
I business. What If people do want to get the
| cocaine habit and go to the devil tn their own
■ way? Isn’t It their affair? What business is
it of the government? This interference with
personal liberty is going too far.—Kansas City
I Star.
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
The Light's Daily Story
THE LITTLE DIPLOMAT.
It was so Inky dark in the mole
tunnel that you could not se e a paw
in front of a whisker and yet so
much like a sounding-board is the
earth in these subterranean retreats
that it was easy to tell by sound
alone that something was moving
there. It was easy too to tell that
the little beast whatever it was was
not a mole for it was not digging
its way along as a mole might but
galloping down the tunnel at a pace
very much greater than that of any
mile.
And suddenly it stopped. The little
rumbling it had made with its tiny
pays and which the echoing tunnel
had magnified had ceased—stopped
in an Instant.
Fer a moment all was still and
then there came a muffled sound
ahead. Something was there in its
puth and having regard to the size of
the place it was pretty sure there
could be no room for two to pass.
The runner looked round anxious-
ly. He—for it was male.—dared not
go back.
The thing ahead of him was a
mole: the vole's whiskers and nose
told him that although it was far
too dark for even him to see. The
question was what size mole; for
moles are the fiercest creatures for
their size in this country fight like
fiends and attack most invaders on
sight or rather small.
The fight was quite short but ven’
fierce —a quick sharp wicked scrim-
mage and the field vole had forced
the passage. He was scuttling away
down the tunnel as hard as he could
go and the mole was clumsily en-
deavoring to turn and follow him.
Luckily the mole was a small one
or things might well have been dif-
ferent.
As a matter of fact at that mo-
ment. far beneath the vole’s feet
the mole was itself being slain by
the weasel which had been hunting
our field vole through the tunnels
and which might have eventually
caught him but for the timely mole.
A minute later we discover our
field vole out on the surface of the
field still galloping as fast as he
can in and out among the grass and
then with a dash across the road
where a passing terrier all but snaps
him up—Into the field beyond.
And here we find our field vole
digging an hour later. He must have
begun the operation some time be-
fore he went a foraging and fell in
with the bloodthirsty weasel for the
hole was almost even inches long
already. .
Then suddenly he turned and
holding his fore-paws under it be-
gan shoving and ramming the heap
of earth that had collected behind
him out to the mouth of his tun-
nel. Arrived’ at the entrance he
pushed his heap of earth some few
Inches further and stopped.
The little beast did not look up as
a rule but at this moment the
shadow of something crossing in
front of the setting sun fell upon
him. and he dropped flat staring
aloft.
A bird a kestrel falcon was posed
silently directly above him.
For one instant our little vole
croched petrified with fear then he
flung himself at the newly dug hole
with all the power he could muster.
And In the same instant the kestral
dropped like a stone. The vole had
an awful backward glimpse of talon-
ed claws'clutehlng at his mercifully
short tail received a buffet from the
big flapping wing that nearly knock-
ed him silly and rolley head over
heels down his tunnel wherein he
lay panting for a long time before
he could summon up courage to
move.
He worked then for long appearing
every few minutes with a heap of
earth which he added to the grow-
ing pile outside. Once a barn owl
passed like a white ghost so close
above him that he could feel the
rush of air from her dread wings as
she snatched up in her claws an-
other vole not more than a foot
away; once he saw a friend pounced
upon by a waiting cat and once
when his wife preceded him out of
their new hole now many inches
long she went outside and vanished
In front of his very nose by way of
the jaws of a badger.
But all this did not trouble the
vole In the least. H e was used to It.
Besides there were so many field
voles that he felt safety In num-
bers. There were so many thou-
sands of chances to one against his
being the precise victim chosen and
he knew how to keep quiet himself
and let some neighbor show himself
or herself first. Did he not send his
wife out before him?
Before dawn after he had con-
nected his new tunnel up with a
labyrinth of old workings he went
forth to love and war. A new wife
was bls desire but he fed and drank
first both at the farmer’s expense —
and. for the tenth time cleaned
from head to foot washing his face
too. with his little fore foot care-
fully.
He had not far to go to find a pos-
sible wife —a spruce—young wedge
shaped fur atom like himself. But
j she was attended by squired—three I
of them. Our field vole however
knew how to fight. He had the ad-
1 vantage in weight—by a few grains.!
He just rose up on his hind legs and I
< hargtd right home upon the biggest i
rival squeaking in fury as he did so. I
They rose and met and fought.
I rolling over and over biting clawing
and squeaking like tiny furies whilst
the lady stroked her fine whiskers.
Making a noise however. Is not
profitable especially in the silence of
the night. It may call undesirable
aliens. It did in this case. Our vole
with his teeth burled in the enemy’s
shoulder saw the dreaded stoat gal-
1< ping up out of the dark and kicked
himself free rolled clear just In
Hme to let his rival remain in the
stoat's path and be killed because of
his lack of alertness.
Then after the glorious sun was
well up and he had managed to
track her down tn her flight from the
stoat our field vole took his second
wife—-not without a fight or two
with other rivals by the way—back
■ to his new home.
I Now it has been said that our
field vole had connected his new tun-
nel up with some old workings. This
was a blunder. One never knows
what may live in old disused tun-
nels. Moreover the sun beat full
; upon the mouth of his new hole and
■ made it warm.
Soon the two little beast arrived at
the hole but in accordance with his
cautious though ungallant custom
our friend lagged behind and sent
his wife in first. She arrived at
the mouth of the hole certainly but
then suddenly throwing herself upon
her haunches she stopped short
staring in her eyes nearly popping
out of her head. Terror was written
on every nair of her. And she gib-
bered but she never moved like a
thing mesmerized.
Our friend saw. He drew hack
carefully quietly well out of reach
but all the time he watched. And
as he watched he saw a head flat
scaly and cruel whip out from the
mouth of the hole seize his new
wife and whip back again. It was
the head of a viper a reptile which
feeds upon field voles. The viper
had been passing the winter In the
disused tunnels and now aroused by
the warmth had come along our
little vole's new tunnel to bask in
the sun.
Then our field vole went away
to sleep underground and a s quick-
ly as he could for h e knew that
there is nothing to be gained In
keeping near a viper and wives are
cheap in vole land anyway. He soon
forgot
The doorkeeper of a New York theater
which is open every day in the week re-
cently was told that he might have a day
off. It was his first In five years. When
the manager ot the theater came to the
door that day he was surprised to find
the old man at his regular ’post. "Why
what's this?" he said "I had told you to
take a day off." "That’s right" answered
the doortendor "but I thought I’d drop
around to keep the new man company."
Among certain tribes on the West Afri-
can coast any stranger who dies In a town
is buried on the road by which he entered
It so that his spirit may easily rind the
way back to his home or at least watch
the road thither and listen for the coming
nt friends. .
Lesson of the Flood
(From the Houston Chronicle.)
If the people of Texas do not
learn much from the flood and
profit by what they learn they will
let pass a great opoprtunlty for
profit.
They already knew that they
might expect floods. They had suf-
fered from them before but have
never seemd to learn much.
They have learned how high the
water can come for in many places
it broke all records. Then it came
with a suddenness and a rush and
a destructive force without precedent
in the experience of the oldest set-
tler. They know now where dikes
and levees are most needed. They
know better than ever before what
a menace to life and property bends
and rafts are. They know that if
preventive measures are not adopted
the rivers wll claim toll of property
and human life again with absolute
certainty.
It is not too soon to lay far-
reaching plans—plans which look
toward demanding of the state that
protection that tens of thousands of
square miles of her richest most
productive and most densely popu-
lated territory so urgently needs.
It will be worse than folly to plan
along picayunish lines. The area
to be protected and the vast inter-
ests at stake will necesarlly involve
comprehensive plans and the expen-
diture of an amount of money that
individuals can not supply.
The sentiment developed in favor
of protection against floods should
be as broad as the state which to its
uttermost limits will feel the effects
of the disaster and so strong that
legislators will give ready heed to
the demand for fhat protection
which vast Interests imperatively re-
quire.
One lesson has been learned which
has been most gratifying and that
Is that when disaster comes bring-
ing discomfort and loss and suffer-
ing the hearts of the people are
always found in the right place and
that their generosity Is equal always
to the needs of the occasion.

On the Telephone
From th? Indianapolis News.
It is a poor business man who is
too busy to be courteous. And it is
likewise a person of shallow char-
acter who is too self-engrossed to
have a thought for his telephone
manners. We are all more or less
delinquent in this matter. Calling
for a number how many of us on
some one answering the ring say:
"Hello hello; who Is this?" And
perhaps on learning that it is the
wrong number hang up the receiver
with a bang calculated to reprove
the Innocent person who presumed to
answer his own telephone when the
call sounded. Courtesy is one of
the most valuable assets in business
as it is In every activity of life. To
be courteous Is merely to have
thought for the other fellow—a bit
of the Golden Rule put into practice.
Many a business firm has found
courtesy to be a trade-getter. The
Central Union in offering this sug-
gestion is not unmindful of courtesy
among its central operators. These
employes are apparently never too
busy to add “please” to the request
for the number. But telephone
water gas and transportation com-
panieh have stilf much to learn when
it comes to reciprocity in courtesy..
House Moved Over Street Car.
A large private house in San Fran-
cisco was recently moved along a
narrow street to a new site in the
adjoining block without blockading
street car or vehicle traffic. A sin-
gle track cable car Une runs along
the center of the street and the
I width of the house was too great to
permit it to be moved longitudinally
along either side of the street at
ground level Without obstructing the
car track. The street railway com-
pany objected to any interference
i with its service so- the contractor
resorted to the expedient of jacking
j the structure to a sufficient height
to permit cars to puss beneath it.
Cribwork was then placed on the
skids to support the hous e and mov-
ing operations were performed in the
ordinary method.—Engineering Rec-
