ON FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
Battle for Liberty Of Thought Ia
Fought In Book by John Milton
That 10 Never Read.

New York.-Milton's "Areopagitlca
was given to the world 269 years ago.
August 2S, 1914.
Not one in thousand of the read
ers of this newspaper or of any other
newspaper has read the "Areopagi-
tica" or even seen it-any more than
he has seen the force of gravity or
the electrical energy that is working
such miracles in this age of ours. But,
like the invisible powers OF nature. the
book OF the great Latin secretary OF
the old protector has been serving the
purpose for which it was written.
The parliament of 1643, under the
dominance of the champions OF tyran-
NY, had passed an ordinance against
the liberty OF printing. and with sub
lime fearlessness Milton challenged
them to battle. His challenge was this
same "Areopagitica," which made
them sit up and think, and which con-
vinced them that there was at least
one man in England who loved intel
lectual liberty and understood perfect

chairs and other combustible material
and. piling 1t in huge bonfire,

dral by fire. The evil designs of the
