Read Your Paper

s'To live as a member Of the
great white race OF men, to
share its thoughts and its aspl-
rations. it is necessary that. a
man should read his newspa-
per- said u. S. Senator Ster-
ling, of South Dakota, in an
address to the students at the
University OF South Dakota.
THE newspaper he confined
has come to be indispensable.
1t goes and penetrates every
where. 1t 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
save us from The evils of isola
tiot. I like to 90 back to the
splendid principle on which the
fine structure rests. And that
principle is the freedom OF the
press. Our forefathers must
had the gift OF prophecy in re-
gard to the press; they must
have ioreseen to what power
and lnhue nee it would come.
They have no dread of public
ity OF official acts or motives.
They had faith in the ultimate
triumph OF truth. Jefferson
was willing that error might be
presented II truth could only
be left free to combat it. He
was opposed to a censorship
of the press, and said that if he
must choose between a govern
ment without newspapers and
newspapers without a govern
ment he would perier to risk
the newspapers without the
government. He believed
what public opinion would
measurablv correct things if
public opinion were LET &c,
but that government without a
free expression of public opin-
ion would soon become a des--
potism.'

Change In Sherman Law

Washington, Nov 80 Pres
ident Wilson's address to con-
gress next week not only will
treat upon greater preparedness
for national defense. but will
call to the attention OF congress
to the explosions and fires in
American industrial plants.
The P, esident intends 10 rec
ommend that the Sherman law
be amended to include severe
penalties for such restraints of
trade. Any division in t h e
ranks OF Americans citizens,
whose sympathies with h e
warning beIigerents may have
led to excuses, will be en-
phatically condemned as IN
American by the President.
The President is expected to
refer to the subject in his adj
dress i n connection with a
general statement that h G
United States can be really
prepared only if all its citize.ls
stand together and repel OUT
side influences.
President Wilson returned
from New York early today,
and immediately went to the
White House and began work
on his next annual address to
Congress.
On the return trip the Pres
idt MT was accompanied by Sen
ator Hugher. of New Jersey;
Secretary Tumulty, and DR..
Cary I. Grayson, Mrs. Gait
renamed in New York to pur-
chase part OF her rousseau.
The President has the main
outlines Of his address to-
Congress finished and expects
to get it IN final shape for the
cubic printer today. He
took the address with him to
New York and discussed it
with Colonel House.
While in New York the
President is understood TO
have discussed the outlook for
peace in Europe with Colonel
House. 1t is not believed,
however, that the President
will initiate a conference of
neutral nations to attempt to
end the war as suggested to
hun last week by delegation
of peace advocates.
