THE PRESS
IN WAR TIME

I in the profession is but too anxious to
be relieved
The press has no desire to Jemain in
position where It appears to be
fighting against the national interests.
It asks to be protected against a lib
erty which it cannot in the nature Of
things help abusing We are too apt in
this country TO look upon war as
sort Of gladiatorial combat, a set.to be-
tween picked champions on either side,
in which the people take the part Of
passive spectators. But the extracts
I have quoted from responsible papers
show that some journalists, at any rate,
are beginning TO realize that when a
country is at war every man and
woman that belongs to the country Is
at war also, and that the first prerequi.
site Of Rghting efficiency and resources

single thunderbolt.
The press will lose nothing and will
gain much by taking the lead In -.

here outlined II is far too powerful

argument. or TO profess any alarm lest

CALLS DOWN A GAMBLER.

A New York stock broker recently
wrote an impudent letter to Senator
Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, criticising
him for standing with beet sugar rails
ers Of the west in opposition to the ad-
ministration's Philippine bill. In reply
Senator Dubois wrote the stock broker
the following letter, which will probably
cause the recipient to think twice be-
fore he again takes his pen in hand:

that you have connections in SorcIgn

and care nothing about the producers
in this country so long as you cal JOIN
in robbing them of the fruits of their
toll
IF 1 had any misgivings at all
which I did not-as TO the propriety Of

Of eensure coming from one of the &C

City would have set such misgivings at

HIS SIGNATURE GOOD.

A story is told of how the late ex-
Governor Joseph A Gilmore of New
Hampshire, when he was superintendent
of the Concord & Claremont railroad
once wrote a letter to one of his section
bosses who had done something to dis
please him. All the man could make out
was the date and Superintendent Gil
mOre'S signature.
Some time afterward, being in Con-
cord. the man went to call on the super
intendent at his office.
Hello, John. how do you do?" said
Mr.. Gilmore well, what are you doing
noWZ''
why. I'm up here at the same place
on the section, Mr.. Gilmore" replied
John.
What said Mr. Gilmore; didn't you
get a letter from me?' naming the date
Why, yes, certainly, answered John.
''Well, didn't you know that was let
ter of dismissal?''
Letter Of dismissalI'' cried the aston
ished John. mol / couldn't make it out,
except that ii was from headquarters and
signed by you, sir. But after some study
concluded it was q pass. AS none of the
conductors on the road could read it, they
all accepted my statement that 1t was a
pass from Mr.. Gilmore, and 1 have been
riding on it ever since"
John kept his place on the section.
