"a Human FAILING

NT1I.L sheltered behind veil OF anonymity
" a British censor has given to the world a
confession exposing the censorial state Of mind
He is a hardened sinner, unashamed Of his nefar
Gus trade He coufesses he finds the work inter
esting. Undoubtedly il should be painful to any.
ones finer instincts to be compelled to read the
private correspondence Of total strangers. In or.
binary circumstances. it simply is not done. One
recalls the tale OF Lewis Carroll handling of his
young guests correspondence when letters came
tn two little girl visitors from home quarantined
or measles The hiTnorist with no thought of be-
ing humorous, held the letters up at distance OF
several wards from the children, himself ayertng
His eyes while they tried to puzzle out, with a
pair of opera glasses, the news from home. Al
though they were merely domestic and childish
notes, he would not read them himself Now these
censors were probably brought to feel the same
inhibition regarding other peoples letters. At first
they go to their new duties only duties. Pres
entity the old Adam asserts ITSELF they enjoy the
work. -.
Three quarters of the news space of the average
newspaper is taken up with matters which are
trictly speaking none Of the readers business
Politics, whether municipal national information
al the progress of science, the actions OF pubic
men, the phenomena of nature and other such mat
tiers OF general import, are evetybody's legitimate

According to the avidity4 With, which the reader
devotrs the latest murder, marriage or romance
in high life may be gagged his susceptibility to the
weakness confessed by this anonymous censor.
One uneasy day, says the censor, is all that he
experiences before the qualn1s of lifetime vanish.
After the war what will become of the censors:
Will the be like the tiger who tasted blood, and
be unhappy unless they are fully conversant with
every one else's personal affairs? They may re-
fuse to have anything but party line on the tele-
phone; they may get Jobs as chauffeurs of taxis
Chauffeurs and ladies' maids know everything,
though they seldom tell. Or again. they may be
the cause of that upft in literature which has
been predicted Their taste for realism may have
been so whetted that none but the masters of that

Foreiq,1 Ro,Us Avoided

INTERNATIONAL controversies seem to have
! lost interest for the country for the time be-
ing. Rumors of a resumption in German sub
marine warfare against neutral w, shipping and
against the merchant ships of bsligerents that
carry American citizens rccur but there hard
ly tremor of excitement the other ay"'when a
German submarine sent TO the bottom an English
ship, carrying a cargo of American horses that
were in charge OF score OF American
hostlers, whose lives endangered. The state
department is inquiring and American consuls are
gathering testimony, but with the country in the
throes of presidential campaign, the general in
cnaton seems against paying particular atten-
ton to matters that have particular novelty.
Similarly, there is aversion to serious consider
alton of charges that Great Britain is unduly in
terfering with American rights on the high seas.
In restricted quarters there is Indignation over
stories that mails of American business men are
being rifed by British authorities and state
ments from Lloyd George that the information
thus obtained would be put to any the Brit
sh authorities might fit. Congress, shortly
! before it adjourned, enacted with alacrty pro-
Etision giving the President discretion to strike
baSk at any foreign government that blacklisted
American firms or American products. This was
supposed to supply the President with powerful
weapon in the controversy between the state de-
partmerE and London.
| American resentment against infringement OF
rights whatever this may have been, has been smol-
dsring. OneNof these days when other matters OF
moment have feen cleared away, this alleged inter
ference with American trade may become vigorous
issue on this side Of the Atlantic. Suspicious that
numerous American shippers have played fast and
loose and brought upon themselves nothing short OF
merited penalties from the British government have
repressed general outbursts here. The administra
ton officials have plainly discouraged any agitation

latest outputs is that the President while 81 New

of the situation and before long will attempt Wgo
rous tactics There is difference of opinion whethe,

commercial treaties that this government has witt

Democracy and Sugar

CHOULD Democracy be endorsed at the polls
~ of the nation in November and President Wilson
be reelected for another term, the people of Hawaii
may make up their minds that the effort to place
sugar back on the free list will be made the
minute the demand for revenue slackens. The
Democratic majority placed sugar back on the
dutiable list only under compulsion of necessity
and they did not want to do it. The President
has by means recovered from his attack OF
anti-sugab spite, engendered during the passage
of the Underwood Tariff Act, and he will lose nc
opportunity to assert himself when the time comes
Free sugar is a Democratic principle. This
was made most plain during the short debate
that preceded the passage of the bill giving free
sugar the hoist just before last May Read the
Congressional Records report of one section OF
this debate, when Senator Simmons of the com,
mittee on finance declared the Democratic stand

ton authorities at Ellis Island.
Two letters, penned in an almost I'M
readable scravl. rest side by side in
pigeonholc in the Office of the Hebrew
Sheltering and immigrant Aid Society
on Ellis Island. They were sent by
Mrs. Annie Greenberg. of Leeds. One
il almost hysterical; the other-well,
il came yesterday.
A few weeks ago Rebecca Grecnberg,
nine years old. was sent by her mother
across the Atlantic. Rebecca's mother
was a seamstress, but when the war
began her earnings fell off until the
widow and her little girl were on a
starvation diet. Mrs. Greenberr re-
membered her rich brother, who lives
in Cane Charles, Va, and asked his aid.
lie replied that not only would he be
glad to receive the child and send her
10 the best schools in Virginia. but also
would adopt her.

she was detained until Judge l. on San
