April 17th. Is the Journal anti or

stated his position on this question,
why, in the name of common sense
did not the Journal editor state his
psoition. Ir Senator Bailey has
been untrue so has the editor of the
Journal. eW quote again from the
Journal:
Now, it is perfectly proper for
Senator Baiiey to declare for local
option as against State prohibition.
Journal-Reporter, April 17, 1908.
Senator Bailey had a right, just
as the editor of the Journal has,
when a new issue comes up, to form
his conclusions upon that issue and
that is what both Senator Bailey
and the Journal editor have done
and both come to the same conclu
sions and both have disclosed them
selves and their disclosations are
the same; the senator has made no
champion" of himself.. The Zei-
tung editor says the senator
frankly" stated his position in an
interview a few days ago at Tem-
ple. He "frankly" stated his posi-
tion. Why can not the Journal be
fair" and be honest with its op-
ponent and its readers; its readers
are not all fools.
The Journal's efforts to discredit
Senator Bailey is discreditable to
itself and a disappointment to many
who have been friendly to the
Journal but the Journal in its hate
brushes aside any and all fairness.
