Freedom OF speech.

The classic argument for freedom
of speech was made by Milton in his
"Areopagitica" when he wrote:
Though all the winds of doctrine were
let loose to play upon the earth, so
Truth be in the field. We do inglori-
ously by licensing and prohibiting, to
misdoubt her strength, Let her and
Fasehood grapple; who ever knew
Truth put to worse in a free and open
encounter?'

Milk In Red Bottles

Tne discovery is said to have been
made that milk kept in red bottles
will remain sweet and pure longer
than when kept in plain glass or
other colored bottles. Experiments
have been made with the spectrum
to determine which of the rays of
light affect milk and it has been
found that it is the rays toward the
violet end of the spectrum that do
the mischief. The red ray is stronger
and more penetrating and probably
has some neutralizing effect upon the
Tactical microbe. If experiments con-
firm the theory that the red bottle
preserves milk better than the bottle
now in use the red bottle should
be adopted generally. Such a change
will create a new set of milk bottle
millionaries. Exchange. -.

How We Won The Normal School

BY square, honest and above
board methods, properly organized
teamwork, and the proper presenta-
ton Of facts and figures that could
not be disputed. Bemidji believed
that 1t had the proper qualifications
with which to win. 1t knew that it
had the right kind of men to present
them and in the face of these truth
full facts and figures Bemidji could
not be denied. The fact that the very
first message of congratulations
came from Thief River Falls proves
to this city that Thief River Falls is
a good square "Scraper" and a splen-
did looser. Bemidji rejoices in having
had so worthy a competitor and it's
only regret is that that city was not
able also to secure a normal school.
The spirit shown by that city is sure

this contest, we believe that it was

In 1903 Champlain made his first
voyage to Canada. He made friends
with the Indians, and explored the
St. Lawrence to the rapids above
Montreal. Then, seeking site for
settlement, he explored as far
south as Cape Cod. In 1908 he
planted a settlement at Quebec.
Champlain discovered Lake Cham
plain, long the most important high
way between Canada and the Eng
lish settlements to the south. He
was again in Canada in 1911 fight
ing with and against the Indians, and
established trading post at Mon
treal. His two great desires were
to find a way to the Indies and to
convert the Indians. In 1913 he
went as far as Lake Nipissing and
the eastern shore of Lake Huron;
but turned back. When Quebec was
surrendered to the English in 1929,
Champlain was taken prisoner to
England. On the restoration of
Canada to the French he returned
to his post as lieutenant governor in
1888, and died there on Christmas,

BY JANE whitaker r.
Only an hour to live,
And the moments are going fast
Less than an hour of sunshine
Ere death will come stalking past
They have preached of the joys of Heaven,
They have pictured the terrors of Hell
And only salvation can leaven
The kingdom where shall dwell
But I've worshipped the God of Mammon
And gloried in his returns;
It's too late to think of Heaven
My soul for earth's pleasure yearns.
To you, oh black-robed King of Death,
To you cry aloud;
Give me one more year Of life
Your answer is what-a shroud?
70 Is your decree so sublime,
There's no question of wherefore or why
Is there no bride of mine
You'll accept that I need not die?
'1The hour is past" you whisper,
cts time to CLEAN you in;''
You are Death victorious,
And but dabbler in sin. ,
must go, for your time is pressing,
There's the toll of steeple bell;
A prayer is breathed, and blessing --r.
And my soul is hurled, to Hell.

As forecasted by the Bulletin after the adjournment of the superior court for the week last Friday, at least one of the Mystic scandal cases was settled otherwise than by trial, for on Tues day at the resumption of court for this week. Philip ]. Button appeared in court, pleaded guilty and was sen fenced by Judge Milton A. Shumway. Alfred Baker who was convicted on trial last week was also sentenced on Tuesday.
 Baker was sentenced to serve eight months in Jail; Button was given six months. Baker was found guilty last week by the jury. of assault upon 1o- year old Willie BarFaclough, 12-yeaF old Fred Barton and of indecent as- salult upon 12-year old Leah Barra- ciough. He was given 30 days on each of the first counts and six months on the last count, making a total Of eight months.
 The charge against Button was amended and he pleaded guilty to as sault on Leah Barraclough and Helen Roscoe on August last. Judge Shum- way sentenced him to three months on each count, total of six months,
 Pleas For Leniency.
 Attorney Frank H. Hinckley ap- peared for both men. He made a plea for Baker in which he said the ac- cuSed is the sole support of an aged wife, that he has been employed 40 years at the Wilcox Fish works and prior 70 th1S scandal has always con- ducted himself properly.
 Judge Shumway told Baker that he could send him to states prison for 10 years.
 In making his plea for lenieney in the case against Button, Attorney Hincl1ley stated that Button is the lone support of three children and aged parents. He said that he, too, had enjoyed a good reputation up to the time that he was arrested in con neetion with these indecency charges.
 It was reported that Button had run away Monday, but investigation showed that he was in Mystic at his home The rumor had become quite general, however, and those who did not know that it was untrue ware surprised when he appeared in court and pleaded guilty
 The settlement of these two cases leaves but two to be disposed of. Two of the eight men arrested in connec- tton with these charges, suicided, two ran away and today Baker and Button went to jail to pay the penalty for their offenses.
 The two cases remaining to be dis posed of the those against Nathan Newbury and Richard B. Chute.

 Deiea ation From Mystic.
 Anxious that the fair name that the village of Mystic has always en- joyed be restored as soon as possible, committee of prominent citizens call ed on States Attorney Hull at the county court house here Tuesday morning to urge that he prosecute the fndecency charges in Mystic to com pletion as soon as consistent with jus- tice and the whole disgusting affair Be removed rom puDllc nOtlce as soon as that can possibly be accomplished.
 Among the men in the delega ton were pr. L. M. Allyn, Prof A. L. Pitcher. James E. Cooper and A. w George.
 These men realized that the rep utation of Mystic has suffered from the notoriety given the scandal News papers all over the country have pub Iished much concerning the scandal and from former residents of Mystic from as far away as California, letters have been received, deplcring the un- sayoFy name Mystic has been given by the published accounts.
 Persons, not stopping to consider the cases. have come to regard MYs- tic as place where licentiausness abeunds Such of course is not the case.
 It was to show that Mystic's cit izenship cannot be judged by these few cases of immortality and to bring about the windup and cleaning up of the whole affair that the citizens committee visited Major Hull. Major Hull promised to do all he could to CO., operate with the committee.
 It is believed that as soon as the eases are disposed of the matter will be forgotten and Mystic will drop from the unenyiable position she has occupied in the public eye.
