OF ALL the stupid reports
sent to city newspapers from
Ashland. tending to poison the
minds of people regarding any
institution, that purporting to
describe. the explosion at the
plant of the Eastern Dynamite
Co. of Barks6ale. last Thursday
should be given the palm. A
more villainous untruth was
never put into print, and those
who are responsible for it should
be held up to public scorn. Nor
was the report sent out to one
single paper, but to many, and
the correspondents seemed to
excel one another in their efforts
TO tell the biggest 'ib''. The
garbled reports were all sent
out by Ashland correspondents
and the blackness of the head
lines given in the newspapers
We're only exc eeded by the abso-
lutte falsehood of the subject
matter.
One paper, The Superior Tele-
gram, contained a statement
some thing like this: Five men
were killed and fifty injured in
the explosion of the nitro-gly-
cerine house of the Eastern Dy-
Mantle plant at Washburn. The
scene around the store house
was heart rendering, men and
women were providing about the
building in an endeavor to learn
the names of those killed and in
jured." Another paper report
ed that, "several men had legs
and arms blown off, eyes torn
from their sockets while many
were otherwise mutilated.
This is not the first time that
Ashland newsmongers have
colored the reports, and always
TO the detriment of this city and
It's institutions. There seems
to be no limit to methods adopt
ed for making use of calamity.
We do not deny that the eX.
plosion was a disastrous one.
But the fact that three lives
were snuffed out and that two or
three others were injured should
not be enlarged upon for the
purpose of neutrality-suspicious.
A bare statement of the facts
such as were given by the local
papers and the local Ashland pa
pers were sufficient. Those
who sent out the reports from
Ashland to the city papers are a
disgrace to the newspaper pro
fession and dangerous citizens.

Notes From Washington

From Our Regular Correspondent.
A shipment Of cigarettes, from
Durham, n. @. consigned to the
British-American Tobacco Com
pany of Great Britain, valued at
1922 has been attached by the
government at Norfolk, Va, and
no little agitation has been pre-
cipitated thereby. The action
was brought following a confer
ence at Norfolk last week be-
tween Collector Of Customs
Hughes, United States District
Attorney L. L. Lewis, and a re-
preventative from the Depart
ment Of Justice. 1t is the first
time that proceedings have been
taken to enforce Section s of the
Sherman antitrust law, under
which this seizure was made,
and after every effort of the De-
partment of Justice to force a
conclusion of the suit pending
against this corporation, the to-
bacco trust, had failed.

AVOIDING A POSSIBLE COAL
SHORTAGE.

Traffic officers of the Northern Pacific
railway have takan unique steps
towards avoiding q possible coal sh
age in the North west this winter, by
Utilizing the arrangements made for
the advertising of passenger traffic
matters, in calling the attention of
coal dealers and coal consumers
generally to the Decessity of laying in
their winter stocks Of fuel for such q
purpose
The advertisements, which have
been sent to many newspapers on the
line OF the Northern Pacific railway,
state in terse and emphatic terms that
the best way to avoid a coal shortage
is to buy early, and that at the pre-.
sent time there Is fuel at the head of
the lakes and empty cars with which
to move it For the time being these
advertisements will take the place OF
publicity with reference to rates and
trains. The effect of experiment,
which is rather novel excursion into
the advertising field for q railway,
is being watched with much interest.

takes EXCEPTION to my statements with
reference to Christian Science. 1t
would not be fair to you to burden
your columns with. any further dis
cussions of this matter, but or q of his
s atements should not 20 unchallenged.
I am very glad that my article gave
the impression that Christian Science
is the embodiment Of Christianity.
The way to test that impression. IS
to follow the principle, and rules Of
Christian Sciencs and let thu results
prove whether or not they are
Christian. That they ara 50, =. has
been demonstrated in the cases of
thousands who have been able to
exemplify In their daily lives In the
facs that Christianity consists in liv-
ing the words and commands of Jesus
rathe: than in the mere talking, or
srgumsntative discussion of them.
The same criticism that yo1r cor
respondent makes Of Science and
Health was made by Thomas Paine,
Robert Ingsrsoll and others. Of the
Bible ITSELF and apparently. sub
stantlated by garbled state nents,
isolated from the text, and thus. on
their surface, apparently giving weight
to the argu ment. Your correspondent
is not entitled t. aay credit for
originality and is just as mistaken as
we're those who attacked the Bible.
Jesus definition of Christianity is
defined as follows: ''Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart
and with all thy soul and with all
| thy mind and Chou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.' Upon these
two commands. hang all the law and
thu prophets. Matt. 374U.
.Christian .sciencs is basel n..:.tnat
definition and willing to be Judged by
it's adherence thereto. Mere words
amount to nothing. At best they
are q vehicle for the expression Of
ideas and their virility or effec,
depends upon their understanding,
assimilation and the effect produced by
acting thereon. Christian Scientist:
prove their INTERPRETATION Of the Bible
by their acts and Jesus said by their
fruits. ye shall know them''.
We commend FIR the consider atior
of your correspondent, the following
which ought to be sufficient to al
leviate the fears that prompt him tt
warn anyone to baware of Christian
Science. And now I say unto you
Refrain from these men, and let then
