READ YOUR PAPER

TO live as a member of the great
white race of men, to share its thought
and its aspiration, II is necessary that
a man should read his newspaper
said u. s. Senator Sterling, of South
Dakota, in an address TO the students
at the University Of South Dakota.
The newspaper" he continued has
come to be indispensable. IL goes and
pcnetratcs everywhere. IL has been
said of the newspapers that they are
to the whole civilized world what the
daily house talk is to the household;
they keep our daily interest in each
other; they say us from the evils OF
isolation. ~ like to 20 back TO the
splendid principle on which the fine
structure rests. And that principle Is
the freedom of the press. Our fore
fathers must have had the gift Of
prophecy in regard to the press; they
must have f%orcseen to what power and
influence it would come. They had no
dread of publicity of official acts or
motives. They had faith in the ulti-
mate triumph of truth. jefferson was
willing tina; error might be presented
if truth could only be left free to com
bat il. lie was opposed to II censor
ship Of the press, and said that IL he
must choose between u government
without newspapers and newspapers
without u government he would pre-
fer to risk the newspapers without the
government. He believed that public
opinion would mcasurably correct all
things il public opinion were left free,
but that government without n free eX-
preston of public opinion would soon
become "A despotism."

GOTHAM APPROVES
WILSON s CHOICE
President and Bride-t0-be Pay
a Visit to New
York.

NEW YORK, oct. 9.-Late Friday
in the cleaning OF a perfect October
afternoon, a boy and a girl sat on a
bench in Central park near the west
drive. II was easy to see that they
were lovers.
Down the shimmering oiled drive
way came a big Give green touring
car. In the rear seat sat radiantly
beautiful woman. a bouquet OF gor-
geous flowers pinned to her fur coat
Beside her was a man Of distinguished
appearance, his grey eyes and tanned
skin sparkling with health.
The eyes OF the couple In the car
rested simultaneously upon the boy
and the girl on the bench. They
turned 10 each other and smiled I'M
derstandingly. It was the electricity
OF love.
The man in tho car was Woodrow
Wilson, president OF the United States.
The woman at his side was Mrs. Edith
Boiling Gait, his bride-to-be.
New York Approves.
The president introduced mis- fianCee
10 New York Friday. And New York
approved
1t was the first public appearance
OF the president and the charming
woman whom he has chosen to be
first lady in the land. And from the
moment the metropolis cheering thou
sands caught their first glimpse of
Mrs. Gait they were capuvated by
her beauty and her poise.
Only once was the open admiration
afforded an opportunity to become
vocal.
This was at $3.50 o'clock Friday
night hen the president escorted his
fiancee TO a hag-draped box at the
Empire theater. Mrs. Gait was CARRIED
in a wonderous black silk even gown
trimmed in green topped by rich
red and black brocade coat A bou-
Quet OF American beauty roses was
pinned to her cOrsage.
Audience Cheers.
The president-an inverness cape
thrown over his evening dTess-walk-
ed at her side down the extreme south
aisle towards the box that had been
set aside for the party.
Some one in the rear of the Orches-
ira caught sight Of them first and
clapped his hands. Instantly the ap-
piause became a storm. Every one
leaped 10 his feet. Soon the enthusi-
asm broke out in cheers.
The president laughed boyishly
Mrs. Cats brown eyes spaTkled A
delicate flush overspread the polished
marble OF her skin.
But she bowed with perfect poise
while the president removed her
wraps and those of her mother, Mrs.
William H. Boiling. The president
bowed too and raised his hand to still
the tumult The president and Mrs.
Gait took their seats. Slowly the lat
ter waved a big ostrich fan.
1t was a scene that strongly re-
minded one OF antebellum scenes in
the old days of love and romance in
Washington and the south.
