Common sense marks the ruling that
unstamped letters shall hereafter be
promptly delivered, the recipient pay
ing double postage. Stamps have
often. through inadvertenee, been left
of important mail. but this has not
justified delay in ITS handling. There
Is reason to believe that the postoffice
will lose nothing by adopting liberal
methods in all of its relations with the
public Christian Science Monitor.

We congratulate the midshipmen not
only upon their attentive and devOut
bearing at the Chapel services, but
upon the splen5id manner in which. of
late. they make the responses, and read
the scriptural lesson during divine wor-

the services are inspiring and cannot
fail TO be promotive of great good to
the participants.

BLACK HANp" IN JOURNALIST.

In his lecture on the price of a
Soul" William Jennings Bryan says in
part discussing journalism
The reporters are instructed to
bring in the kind of news which will
advance the enterprises owned by the
man who stands back of the paper, and
If the news brought in is not entirely
satisfactory it is doctored in the Office.
The columns of the paper are filled
with matter, written not for the pur-
pose of presenting facts as they exist.
but for the purpose of distorting facts
and misleading the public.
1.-The editorial writer's whose names
are generally unknown TO the public,
are told what TO say and what subjects
TO avoid They are instructed to extol
the merits Of those who are eubservi
ent to the interest represented by the
paper. and To misrepresent and traduce
those who dare to criticise or oppose
the plans Of these who hide behind the
paper.
such journalists are members Of a
kind of Black Hand Society they are
assassins, hiding in ambush and strik-
ing in the dark and the worst of it is
that the readers have no way of know
ing when change takes place in the
ownership of such paper. Editorial
poison. like other poisons. can be adj
ministeTed more successfully if the
victim is in ignorance as to who admin
listers IL.
