PRESS CENSORSHIP.

For the sins of certain yellow" news
papers and their gamboge correspond
ents, the people Of the United States
and of England are now suffering from
an irritating dearth of news from the
seat of war in South Africa The prac-
ttce of these so-calIed yellow" news
papers during our war with Spain, of
printing, day after day, hundreds of col
umns of absolutely unreliable, trashy,
fake war news has deprived all news
paper readers of their legitimate share
of news relating to this Boer=British war
The military authorities absolutely con-
troll the telegraph lines and cables at
the Cape, and, while It is perhaps going
too far to say that the censor permits
only garbled accounts to reach the out
side world, Of the military operations in
progress, it Is not to be gainsaid that the
reports permitted to reach the news
papers are meager, disconnected and
often are not Ineligible.
Behind the silent wall of censorship the
Briton and the Boer are locked in
death grapple. The shrieks and tumult
of battle are silenced by the baize door
Of off1cialdom, and the anxious hearts on
the outside are but thrilled with keener
anxiety as the memorable door occasion
ally IS pushed ajar by the censor's grudg
ing hand. and the crash of the strife
breaks on the ear for an instant.
This may all be military necessity"
but it is a most exasperating condition Of
affairs, and to those who have friends or
relatives participating in the fray it
must be heartrending; the more so, that
this singular state Of affairs seems be-
yond amelioration. 1t seems Incredible
that in these modern days such mo-
mentous struggle can be carried on, like
duel in dark room, to the death in
silence, and that when it is over we
may open the door and let IN enough
light to distinguish the living and the
dead.

TO STOP sHOPLIFTING.

It involves an unfortunate reflection on
our moral and social life that the evil Of
shopl1fting should have reached such
proportions as 1t has in this and other
cities. The temptation which the i'm
mense displays Of engaging articles COM
the ordinary weak nature is, Of course,
great. So, too, in the immense volume
and dispatch in which business Is done
in such stores, It Is reasonable for those
inclined to yield to such temptation to
believe that discovery is quite unlikely to
follow the commission of theft Respect
ability of appearance always carries with
it more or less of immunity from sus-
picion, and most of the thefts Of which
our merchants complain are committed
by persons of undoubteu respectable ap-
pearance and often of respectable associa-
tons.
quite as grievously, in a manner, as it
does those who suffer directly by It, 1t
is of the utmost Importance that steps
should be taken to bring it to an end.
The prompt following up Of discovery by
arrest and the severest punishment is
really the only remedy which Is avail
able. Neither the pleadings Of friends
nor the disgrace which ensues In most Of
such cases should deter any merchant
from pushing the prosecution of this
class of thieves to the utmost limit.
The action of certain local merchants
in uniting in an organization for the
more effective prevention of this class Of
crime Is entitled to the highest approval,
and should receive the largest possible
measure Of publicity. We hear day after
day Of the arrest Of some foolish woman
whose cupidity, rather than any criminal
tendency on her part, mas led her into
stealing from the counters of the depart
ment stores. With the approach of the
holiday season, unless the fact of the
precautions thus taken by local mer-
chants is made generally known, there
will doubtless be many painful cases of
arrests of apparently decent persons. In
any event the measures taken to put an
end to the evil will naturally, result In
many more arrests than heretofore If
the merchants who have united to put
stop to this petty thieving will see to

A MOST WORTHY APpE.,

The appeal Of the st. Paul Relief So
ciety which appears in our columns TODAY
Is worthy Of the most serious and gener-
Gus consideration on the part of our neo-
pie. There is no one of the various So
cieties engaged in humane or charitable
work in the community which is more
worthy of having its appeal responded to
in spirit Of generous charity than that
of this body.
Day by day it's work goes on. It's rem
resentatives find their way into every
household in which suffering or poverty
prevails. and in which the means of re-
lief do not exist. 1t is kept in daily
and hourly touch with want wherever It
presents itself, and it's work is of the
most practical and effective kind
Wherever it is possible to secure employ
meut as means of averting want aud
suffering it exHausts its resources in thc
effort to secure 1t. Through its capable
secretary, MIR. Hutcnins, 1t renders to the

community services the value of which
is not easily estimated. 1t investige tes
for Itself all applications for relief. and
is able with It's extensive knowledge Of
persons and conditions, to pass unerring-
ly on the character Of each application.
Nothing which the Clio be can say
will afford information to those who are
actively interested IN charitable work in
ST. Paul concerning the operations of the
Relief society. 1t is rather to those who
themselves in such work, but whose
means and dispositions lead them to do
what they can to relieve want and suf-
fering when 1t is brought to their at
dress itself TO such of our citizens we
can say, without the slightest reservation,
that the past shows beyond all possibility
of doubt that every representation which
this society may make concerning the
extent of existing want or as to it's own
ability to meet the demands made upon
it is worthy of absolute confidence. 1t
can add with equal truth that to no other
local agency can the donations of our
charitably disposed citizens be intrusted
with fuller assurance that they will be
bestowed with intelligence and discrimi-
nation.
Coming on the holidays. when those Of
Us who are well circumstanced, so far at
least as our daily needs are concerned,
nece ssarily may be expected to give more
or less thought to the lot of our less
fortunate fellow creatures, the appeal of
the Relief society is peculiarly timely.
Suffering, the knowledge Of which cannot
in the nature of things reach us, is al
ways within tho knowledge Of this So
ciety. 1t is literal truth that the poor
with it. Every donation, however slight
in amount or value, will be appreciated
by this body. Whether the charitable Of
ferings of our fellow citizens take the
form of clothing, food, fuel or money
they will be equally well and thoughtful
ly applied by the officers of this body.
Without hesitation or qualification the
G b e recommends the appeal Of the
Relief society to all of our people who
wish to aid in the lessening Of prevailing
suffering among the poor, which will be
greatly increased as the winter season
proceeds.
