TEANSGRES WAY
MADE HARD.
Publicity IN the Newspaper as an Aid
to Public Order.

A recent sermon by DR.. John Clar
ence Lee, on "The Newspaper and
the Public, in the Universalist church
of the Restoration. Trenton, N. j..
was vigorous answer to reformers
who hold that newspaper publicity is
a foe to social order. Dr. Lee said
''The first function of a newspaper
is the gathering and narration Of
news The world is made up Of good
and evil. The newspaper is obliged
to take cognizance of both However
we may regret the existence of evil,
it cannot be said that it would be best
to exclude the account of it FROM the
press. Publicity is foe to crime. 1t
is one of the means by which the way
cf the transgresor is made hard.
''Thus the newspaper treatment d
evil becomes safeguard to society,
On the other hand, it must be remem-
hered that danger may lurk in the
press. While nothing but praise

deal with evil briefly and as an aid
to justice, there are no words too
strong to express the loathine with
which we should regard that journal
ism which bv sensational exasgera-
ton caters to the morbi] appetites
of a degenerate portion of the pubic
"It is true that in the first place the
press is commercial enterprise
because it derives it's financial sup
port from its advertising G. 1umns
But the value of its advertising col
umns depends upon the size and char
octer of its circulation.
"This. in turn, depends upon the
success with which it's interests ard
satisfies public opinion. So far as
the pulpit can influence the public it
will tend to increase the circulatita
of the best newspaper. The press is
a sntinel which never sleep at it's

CHAPTER XII (continued).

The fast and loose game displeased
Miss Barbara greatly. She was at first
surprised, then piqued. then resentful.
Monty gradually awoke to the distress
ing fact that she was going to be in
tractable, as he put it, and forthwith
undertook to smooth the troubled sea.
To his amaZement and concern, she
was not to be appeaSed.
docs it occur to YOU, Monty she
said, with gentle coldneSs that was
infinitely worse than heat, that YOU
have been carrying things with pref
ty high hand: Where did yo,l acc ire
the right to Interfere with my p'ivi-
leges? You seem to think that am
not to speak to any man but YOU.
"Oh, come. now. Babs." retorted
Monty, 1--WE not been quite rs un-
reasonable as that. And YOU know
yourself that Grimes is the worst kind
of a bounder."

the lady, with growing irritation. You

Don't be silly. EaH'"ra You know
perfectly well t!at You have TALKED to
Gardner and that idiot Valentine by
the hour, anii I've not said a Word.
But there are some things cant
stand, and the impertinence Of Grimes
is one Of them. love. He looked ut
YOU out OF those fishy eyes sometimes
as though he owned you. If you knew
how many times I've fairly ached to
knock him down.
Inwarlly Barbara was weakening
little before his masterfulness. But
she gave no sign.
"Apd it never occurred to you. she
said, with that exasperating coldness of
voice, that l was equal to the situa-
ton. suppose you thought Mr..
Grimes had only to beckon anu l
