Although the government continues to
inspire editorials in the semi-oficial pa
pers, although the foreign ONCE still
maintains a press bureau. and although
the imperial government controls abso-
lutely the only considerable press news

the past few years has been fighting to

The influence of the independent press
In calling attention to the scandals In
the administration OF the colonial office
had a marked effect upon the last general
elections for the reichstag. But more
than any other one thing the bold de-
fiance Of the government by Maximfllian
Harden, the fearless Berlin editor. has
contributed toward the success of the
independent press movement. Harden
Invaded the sacred precincts Of the i'm

able scandals Of the Camarilla which
surrounded the person of the emperor.

BERLIN. August 12--German news
papers more frankly and directly attempt
to influence public opinion than do the
newspapers of America or Great Britain
But, as the German press Is not Free
and as 1t is used for the dissemination OF
inspired political intelligence. both by the
government and by other interests, the
result is that the German newspapers

purpose OF the average German editor 10

finds the explanation Of another fact
that there is neither a press nor a public
opinion in Germany in the sense that
those words are used by Americans. The
newspapers do not give the people facts
upon which to base their own opinions.
and they are not able to impress upon
the public the views which they dissent
nate. The strongest bulwark OF the Ger
man aristocracy Is the lack in Germany
of a free, Intelligent and enterprtsing
press. The greatest hope OF the democ-
racy lies In the efforts now being mace
to develop newspapers modelled on Anglo
Saxon lines but yet adapted to German
tastes.
With two or three notable and brilliant
exceptions the German newspapers are

The average German daily. even In the

German newspapers may be DIVIDED
roughly into three classes-the senior

which pretend to be uninspired. but which
are guided altogether by hints from gov.
eminent officials, and the independent
press, each paper of which usually IS the
particular organ of some special political
faction or business interest. In no other
country in the world, with the possible
exception OF Japan. does the government
make such widespread use of the press
in counting public favor and In propi-
tiating popular anger.

Napoleon how to use newspapers. The

The Silver Purse
BY TEMPLE BAILEY
Copyright. 1910. by Associated Literary Press

1t was fate that made Juliet's birth
day and that of her prospective moth
er-law come In the same week. 1t Is
not expected that the course of true
love will run smooth, and, heretofore,
the love affair of Juliet had had no un-
even places. She loved her betrothed;
he loved her, and they both loved his
mother.
Now and then little jealousy of
Carter's mother crossed Juliet's mind.
The older woman was fascinating and
beautiful in way that Juliet had
never been and never could be. Juliet
was pretty and fresh and pink and
white, while Carter's mother was
stately and classic.
The two women talked of the son
and lover who was in the far west,
and planned for his homecoming.
He will get here In our birthday
week." the mother said. "and we will
have two cakes; white one for you
and a gold cake for me. You shall
have white candles and I'll have yell
low ones, and we will have jonquils
and lilies of the valley in the middle
of the table,"
Their disappointment came when
Carter wrote that he could not get
back in time for the celebration. He
sent a box with his letter In 1t was
silver purse and set of Browning.
The two cards told that the purse
was for Mrs. Crowell, the books for
Juliet.
Juliet eyed the silver purse wist-
fully. She had wanted one for years,
and Carter knew 1t. She felt little
hurt that he should have sent her
books. OF course on the fyleaf he
had written with love, from Carter"

She took her books and went home
rather soberly. That night she read
them and finding certain OF the ex-
quisite love poems, was thrilled and
enraptured. She wrote to Carter and
told him how lovely 1t was of him to
think of her and to send message
Of his love In the words of his favor
ite poet.
The next day the two women went
downtown together. Mrs Crowell
wore the silver purse. Juliet with
her shabby pocketbook, and away
from the glamour of the love pas
sages, again felt slightly aggrieved.
Why should Carter add to his moth
er's beauty with dainty trifles, when
that of his sweetheart needed en-
hancing? Moreover he had heard her
speak of her love of pretty things
Yet he had sent her grave books that
must stand ON the shelf
Mrs. Crowell fingered the silver
handbag with delight. 1T was dear
of Carter to send me this" she said
"Did you like the books, Juliet?"
Juliet answered family. The purse
at close range seemed so desirable
and the books on the shelf were re-
mote. She wanted something that
she could show the girls, something
that would glitter and swing from a
silver chain and add the final touch
to her costume. On the way home
she still cherished her sense OF griev-
ance. To quiet her doubts she got
out Carter's letter. 1t was written in
his usual difficult scrawl, and she
read 1t slowly. It breathed his love
for her and she went to bed com
forted
But the next day her best girl
friend came to see her what did
Carter give you for your birthday?'
Mary asked.
Juliet hesitated. Books" she SAID
at last.
"Oh;" Mary's voice held no en-
thusiasm. 81 hope no one will give
me books for my birthday. thinl
man ought to pick out something
personal. Did you see the purse h,
gave his mother7"
Juliet sighed. "Yes." she said.

even the councilmen from Cleveland,
who We're most desirious of seeing II
go through successfully, feared it was
