INTIMIDATING THE PRESS

The public should be grateful to
Charles R. Miller the editor in chief
Of the New York Times, for reminding
the Ship Lobby Investigating commit
tee that the attempt to turn the Amer
lean press into the sycophantic institu-
ton il is in come countries Of Europe
and elsewhere in the world would be a
failure. Freedom Of the press was
acquired after one Of the longest and
hardest fights in Anglo-Saxon history.

In our legislative letter Of March
18th, our press representative stated,
apropos Of the Peru Turnpike bill that
had been before the House, that Mr..
Hapgood stated that ex-President
Taft had been held up on this toll road
and toll exacted. Former represent
alive j. c. Flynn of North Dorset,
whose brother owns the turnpike, has
called our attention to this remark and
says that il is false, as no toll was
exacted from Mr.. Taft. We are glad
to make this correction.

Simplicity Perhaps But No Economy
Those that are dissatisfied with
present business conditions, the impo-
sition of burdensome war tax
along with the income tax, the record
breaking appropriations by the Demo
cratic congress, the antics OF Secre-
tary Bryan in his efforts to find fat
Jobs for deserving Democratic and
various other things which figure
prominently in the record Of the first
two years of the Wilson administra-
ton, may find some consolation IN
reading the economy PLANK in the Bal
timore platform Of 1912. This inter
esting portion of an almost forgotten
document reads As follows; 1--WE de-
nounce the prohigate waste of the
money wrung from the people by OPP
pressive taxation through the lavish
Of recent Republican
Congresses, which have kept the taxes
high and reduced the purchasing pow

return to that simplicity and economy
which BELTS a democratic government
md a reduction in the number Of use

platform, in conclusion, says: Our

One Of these days the demand for
wide tires will come, not from the
tourists and motorists who contribute
so largely to the highway revenues,
but from the farmers and teamsters
who now lose thousands OF dollars
every year by reason Of the impas-
sable condition Of dirt roads in the
spring time OF the year, and during
season of heavy rain.
In fact, The Herald believes that
very few farmers would now oppose

GREAT DAY is HERE
Sunday, May 2, League Season Opens
in Lamar with Rocky Ford as
Victims

Clean up your horns, get your COW
bells, blow up your lungs, turn out
to Association Park next Sunday and
whoop 'er upl Whoop 'er up, every
bodyl We just got to have the first
game with our last years rivals, the
melon rollers from Rocky Ford.
Manager Knause will be here with
a much stronger team than he had
last year and determined to get the
jump on us right at the start, but
it won't do let them have it. Pitchers
Dunlap and Starr, both Of whom made
trouble for Lamar last year, will be
with his team, and the organization
has been strengthened in every de-
partment. We beat them the first
game and the series last year, and We
just gotta do it again this year.
The Lamar team has taken advan-
tage of the good weather this week to
have daily practice, and while the
rainy weather has prevented them
from playing any regular practice
games, they will nevertheless be in
good shape Sunday. Fred Littler will
be in the box and the team will be
made up from the following players
F. Littler, ]. Hines, T. Adams, R.
Steele, C. C. Custer, B. Pate, A. Skin
ner, D. Rhodes, B. Litter, C. Kenlin.
X. Brown, NJ. Grady, r. Gordon, f.
v. Redmond, II. C. Byrnes.
The admission is only 25 cents and
the ball park ought to be packed for
the big opening day. You can depend
on getting your full moneys worth
for this game will be fought to a
finish. The new rules Of the league
give the umpires more authority and
they will be able to discipline any
player who makes trouble.
1t will be a good game and clean
game. So come out and show the
boys that they can depend upon u
good patronage this season.

What Are We Waltlna Eor2

Why should we postpone our Low
ing and the being happy that goes
with IL? The wife we are going to
show more affection for as soon as We
have made little more OF a pile, the
husband we are going to be more
companionable and sunshiny with as
soon as we get a little more service
in the house. the children whose lives
we will enter more fully as soon as we
feel the pressure of circumstances q
little less. the people We are going to
show how genial we really are as soon
as we have time-none of these ways
of loving depend on the things we are
waiting for Indeed. our opportunity
comes more now than It will come
when we have these things. The very
pressure OF our day brings us IN con
tact with people who must need a
show Of kindness. and who will
warmly respond to It. The wife most
needs and will value most love in hei
days when she is most being a help
meet. The husband most needs and
most prizes love in his years of strug
gle. What are We waiting for? The
kingdom OF heaven is within and will
not come of circumstances.

Trying a New Method

A young married woman one morn
ing gave her husband sealed letter,
which he was to read when he got to
the Office. He did SO and the letter
ran as follows:
81 am obliged to tell you something
that may give you pain, but there is
no help for it. You shall know every
thing, whatever be the consequences.
For the last week have felt that it
must come to this, but have waited
until the last extremity. Do not over
whelm me with bitter reproach, for
you will have to put up with your
share of the trouble as well as my
self"
Precipitation stood in thick beads
on the brow of the husband, who was
prepared for the worst. Tremblingly
he read on:
"Our coal is all gone. Please order
a ton to be sent this afternoon. l
thought you might forget it for the
tenth time, and therefore wrote this
letter"

REFUSED TO EAT MATCHES
Experiment Proved That Rats and

Der of rats were caught at different
times and confined in cages with the
ends open for observation. Matches
were then placed in the cages, but no
food. and the rats were left in quiet
spot in a cellar. In every case the ami
mails starved to death or ate their com
panions. Not a match head or splint
was gnawed. The matches were well
seasoned and of different varieties
from the strike-on-the-box to the
double-tip and the common parloI
match. A second series of tests was
conducted In "a cage measuring more
than six feet square. The results
were the same.
In all cases the rats were without
food from two to three days, then the
matches were introduced and the rats
died from starvation within one to five
days after. Like experiments were
conducted with mice and the same re
suits obtained. the mice being hungry
from two to three days. then the
matches were introduced and death
followed In one to five days. In the
larger cages the rats we're fed fol
