The Bulletin is entirely unfair in its

The Bulletin is entirely unfair in its
columns to two of Crawford's sturdy,
intelligent young republicans, Messrs.
McHenry and Woodruff OF Dow City.
The claim. that any secret, underhand-
ed work was done either by them or
against them is maliciously untrue.
The editor was probably thinking of
the conference year ago when the
democrats tried to make Mayor KEN
ming's appointments for him and
failed. These two Union township
republicans know that they were
neither abused, snubbed nor neglected.
Mr.. McHenry has not to our knowledge
been candidate for the nomination
for representative, but should he be his
candidacy will receive the careful con-
sideration of all republicans for they
are his friends. The evident attempt
to SOW seeds Of discord and to represent
as sore heads two of our strongest re-
publicans falls very fiat indeed. Re-
publicans may have differences of
opinion, but if the Bulletin thinks the
boys are disgruntled just let him run
up against their buzz-saw IN the Dow
City Enterprise again and see how
much he gets the worst of it.

Language and Language.

There is absolutely no excuse for dir
ty language, we can forgive a man in
anger for q hasty oath, but there is no
palliating circumstance for the man
who uses filthy language. There is an
everlasting sight too much of it every.
where. There are men, who purport to
be Christians and who beast that they
never swear, who use words before
which sound, lively ''damn" is as in
nocent as new born babe. Indecency
of speech betrays indecency of thought
and breeding. 1t adds nothing to
another's estimate of your strength of
character. IL is marx of vulgarity of
intellect, it poisons the mind of youth,
and Insults the decency of your listen
ers. Mark Twain says "a man may
have no bad habits, and have worse. .
The humorist is right but of all the low
lived utterly degrading bad habits the
use of indecent language is the worst.
The habitual user of it should be as
as much Jabooed as the habitual drunk
ard.

Press Censorship.

The news has just reached the rest of
the world that after seven years of
great expenditure the Russian govern
ment has succeeded in building large
naval station on the north Atlantic
coast, fully equipped with dry docks
end all the appurtenances of modern
naval stronghold. What impresses US
is the fact that Russia was able to do
this without the knowledge of the great
powers. 1t now transpires that all the
work was done in secrecy, that no men
ton was allowed to be made by the
Russian press and in this way the gov
eminent was enabled to complete the
undertaking without alarming the
other powers and without complications
of any kind. Whatever may be said OF
the oppression OF Russia and the in
justice of press censorship it must be
confessed that in some instances it is
not only proper but necessary. If the
American government had undertaken
such an enterprise. the plans and speci.
ication would have been IN every paper
almost as soon as the idea had sug-
gested itself to the Secretary of the
Navy. The work would have been fol.
lowed from day to day by the press, the
work would have been criticised and
hauled over the Goals. A dozen cities
would have contested for the location
and every possible question connected
with the project would have been dis.
cussed before the whole world. We
believe in the freedom of the press but
it is too often abused. The sensible
editor knows that there are many
things better left unsaid, he knows
that with the utmost care something is
sure to be published from time to time
which will prove injurious to interests
he would have desired to further, but
the sensational journalist knows nc
law except to publish news regardless
of its effect upon the individual, the
community, the state or the nation.
In this country the censorship of the
press rests entirely with the people and
they should take it upon themselves tc
discountenance those newspapers which
persistently publish things detrimental
to the public good.

EDITOR REVIEW:
The address given by me at the park
last Sabbath evening seems to be the
occasion of quite little controversy.
10 fairly judge a lecture, one must first
be very sure they know what points the
speaker is trying TO make. Having
settled this point. criticism is to be
made upon the proof OF non-proof of
the arguments and facts advanced. |

standpoint-from the standpoint of
humanity as unit or brotherhood,
conditions are radically wrong. That

not own a correct proportion Of the
wealth produced by them. 1t was my
thought to present the dread and but
ter problem from a solely religious
standpoint. 1t is patent fact that
whoever controls my opportunity to
earn my living controls me. 1t is Il
philosophical fact that the economic
condition of a people determines their

any one could apply the general prin-
ciples l enunciated to. his political
platform-am l to be blamed because

of government. Government has to do
with the social conditions affecting the

Remove the fear OF want and you re-
move the greatest incentive to steal;
assure people of a just wage for their
work so long as they are able; let them
understand that the idler cannot live
off the earnings of others; let them
know that those who are incapacitated

but as a duty society owes to its un-

for the development of the divine with

The argument between Uncle Dick
and Ret Clarkson is assuming grotesque
proportions. Uncle Dick is for Cum
Minis and j. S. is for Gear. 1t seems as
if the brothers might allow each other
to express their preferences without
any hair pulling. 1t looks bad, even
''birds in their nests agree" and Clark
son Bros should follow their example.
