Old Subscriber's Demands.
Editor of The Washington Herald
am a subscriber to your paper and there
are some things in 1t l like and some I
do not like. So I thought l would tell
you about these things and see IL you
cannot make your paper more readable.
like to read about Furnishing automobile
drivers who disobey the law, but I do
not like to read about fine automobiles
and automobile parties and the advan-
tage OF automobiles In business I do
not own an automobile, and belong to a
church which has formally resolved that
none of it's members shall own or ride
in ono of the devil wagons. Subscribing
to the rules of my church. l cannot look
upon the automobile as other than the
agent of the devil and the conveyance
of sinners on their way to perdition. II
you would cease to publish automobile
advertisements and automobile news ex-
cept that in the police columns giving
accounts Of the arrests and punishment
of those who have and use these ma
chimes. l think you would come nearer
to publishing a good family paper. I
think l could continue my subscription
If this and several other reforms were
made. But IL you persist in catering to
the manufacturers of these devil wagons
by printing their advertisements or to
the sinners who use them in defiance of
the rules of my church, l can only be-
lieve that the power of satan is greater
with you than the power of righteous
ness, and have you stop my paper. as
Will not recognize any one who Is sub
sidized by the devil.
If YOU agree to make this reform, there
are several other changes / would like
before | agree to continue my subscrip-
ton. My church is for peace and We do
not want to read about war. 1t may be
that war. like automobiles. is in the
world just as sin has always been, but
the accounts of battles and bombs and
the destruction of Churches-except the
Catholic churches-need not be printed
in A family newspaper. We don't want
to know about it. We want to believe
there is peace everywhere. whether true
or not, because We have to believe that
way. and to have your paper come into
the house every morning to be read by
the children only leads to their CONTRA
dieting my assertion that peace reigns in
all Christian lands. l cannot maintain

from Europe. So please leave out the
war news il you want me to continue to
take your paper
Then there is another thing that should
be changed. notice that in your re-
