Under the guise Of moral censor

congress which strikes at the free
dom Of the press and literally blasts
the free speech privilege granted by
the constitution of the United States.
The bill provides that upon the
written complaint Of any citizen

any publication making use of or

Perhaps he would, but there is
good ground for doubts when one
casually observes the sport pages of
newspapers these days

count of a baseball game: He

Home run, of course.
But what would Ben Franklin
make of it?
Here's another: He pilfered the
Keystone and romped home on Sis
ler's screamer to left"
That's a cinch for US
But could Franklin make head or
tail out of it?
The ponies were running at Tia
Juana and a correspondent sent to
his paper the enlightning phrase.

with the field and came in eased

To decipher this, Miss Edith won
her race. with facility. Her riders

But would Ben Franklin come 70
any such conclusion?
And so it goes. There are any
number of such phrases in the sport
pages. Nor is this dazzling diction
confined to sports alone. Modern
writing is replete with what would
be confusion to literateurs OF other
days

DOES 1T APPEAL TO YOU?

''The Hired Man" says in the Cald-
well Tribune:
"a good deal of spicey talk is go
ing the rounds about whether any
body, after all, should pay his sub
scription to local home newspaper.
The Hired Man wonders if, after all,
people are getting to the place where
they will not pay for anything they
get in quantities less than a nickle.
If milk got down to four cents a
quart, why should anybody pay their
milk bill after it got to be a dollar
and half? If bread was four cents
per loaf, why pay the bill at the end
of the month? If a local telephone
call only costs a quarter of a cent,
why pay up the subscription price?
When the home paper is in our mail
box, it is worth three times what it
costs us. When we read the front
page, it is then worth about twice
the subscription cost. When we are
running over the country personals,
1t is then worth all it is priced to
us, then when we have read it and
laid it down, it isn't worth much.
The last of the week when we wad
it up and start fire with it, it
isn't worth much. Later we question
whether we should be honest with
the publisher and allow him pay for
his old sheet"
