True enough, the editor OF
an Arkansas paper was
scared away from home, a
short time ago, on account
of threats made by a sheriff,
and nothing was ever done
with the newspaper man,
but such things rarely ever
occur. Then we have scored
a point-we're a civilized
set. Next it has numerous
streams of water on which

babbling brooks of Sharp

with the massive oak and
sturdy pine, the finest in the

fine wheat, oats, corn and
cotton; so do we. 1t has fine
grass; it's here too, green

succeed there and do nothing,

the conclusion of the whole

400-pounds more cotton to

Selhshness is. sin. 1t is
not often forgiven, because
it is rarely ever confessed.
The meanest sort of selfish
ness can be found closely
connected with some of those
"holier than thou people.
They look solemn and sad.
Every once in a while they
take a pious fit. They want
those who do not see and act
as they do to get down on
their knees, while they stand
with closed eyes, argue the
case with the Lord in prayer
and pray that all may see
and do as they see and do.
We can have little liberation
for selGshness when it cgins
to grow very pious. Baptist

Two Bills introduced.

London, January 15.-The scandal

Piccadilly, this city, has led to the pre-
paration Of two bills for presentment
to parliament. One of them makes it
a crime for a man or a woman to live
on the prostitution Of women. In the
case of foreigners the bill provides for
the repatriation Of the guilty parties.
The other bill provides punishment
for soliciting. Those who are respons-
ible for those two bills point to the
condition Of the West End of London
as being unbearable. The foreign
"bullies" living on women's prostitu-
ton are responsible for hundreds of

ASST. 2. NJ. G. HEATH
Gives Some Advice to Mr.. Loud Regarding
Sample Copies.


Washington, D. G., January ia
letter has been addressed to First AS
sistant Postmaster General Heath to
Representative Loud, author of the
Loud bill, restricting the amount of
second class matter to be admitted to
the mails. Mr.. Heath says that his
own experience as publisher leads
him to believe that the bill will work
less hardship upon legitimate publish
ing firms if Mr.. Loud will modify it
by simply reducing the number of
sample copies of papers to be admitted
instead of cutting them off altogether.
The present law allows SO per cent Of
a papers circulation to be mailed as
sample copies, and to cut off this priv
ilege altogether Mr.. Heath says would
work a particular hardship upon the
small country publications.
