Can Maintain Censorship.

1t is also claimed that the press of
the country has shown beyond shadow
of doubt or peradyenture of criticism
that it can voluntarily maintain CEN
sorship over essential subjects Of mill
tary movements. but should not be re-
pressed by departmental red tape, ap-
piled most frequently by officials not
conversant with the press.
In England it was found 1t is said,
that another bad feature of the origi-
nal "bone-headed" censorship was the
building up of a favored class of news
papers, comprising these which toadied
to the war and navy officers. ma gnify-
ing successes and concealing defects
and defeats, while newspapers which
tried to give the facts found them
selves under the ban of the officials.
That the United States should not go
through this experience is the hope of
these well-wishers who are concerned
in the winning of the war and want to
see United States efficiency at 100 per
cent.

PRESS VITAL FORCE

America Urged to Profit by

Stupid Censorship.
HER EXPERIENCES TRYING

Senators and representatives and

correspondents. the latter including
representatives of two hundred of the

toned at the National Capital, who have
community of interest over the free
publication of legitimate information
about the war. have been in touch very
recently with men who have knowledge
of Englands unfortunate experience
with a blind government press censor
ship. and they are profoundly moved
over the accounts.
The community of interest" between
the statesmen and the newspaper
writer's comes about from the fact that
there is growing realization in Con-
gress that the members of the legis-
lative branch of the government will
be held to strict accountability by their
constituents for the treatment of their
sons in the trenches of Europe. and the
statesmen are in turn in a measure

DEATHS IN POOR FAMILIES.
Grim Reaper and Low Wages Keep
Step at Manchester, N, H.

An excessive death rate among
babies is an accompaniment of low
wages paid fathers and gainful en-
ployment of women. according to a
report of an investigation made by the
childrens bureau of the Department
Of Labor made at Manchester. n. H.
Nearly half Of the 1913 babies had
fathers whose earning were less than
$3.50 a year. and more than one-eighth
Of the babies had fathers earning less
than $3.50 a year. Only one in sixteen
(64 per cent? had fathers earning as
much as S1.250. The death rate among
the babies in the poorest families was
more than four times as high as among
those in the highest wage group.

many cases could not conduct their
business on an eight hour basis.
Realizing this fact. many woman en-
ployes of the bureau of engraving and
printing have begun a reaction against
any movement that might throw them
out of employment entirely. They
claim that a great majority of the
women. possibly as much as 80 per
cent of them. are willing and DESTROYS
to do their share toward printing and
issuing the big edition of liberty bonds.
In addition, they said they are glad of
the chance to work and earn the extra
pay which comes from overtime work.
Miss Rankin, however, claims that
overtime work is forced on the women
whether they want it or not. and says
also she can prove that overtime has
been common at the bureau for five
years.

AT Last! a Bulldog
Story Worth Reading

San Antonio, Tex-Mack, the
fourteen year-old registered English
bulldog owned by II. C. Flint. of No.
316 West Evergreen street, first ac-
quired city-wide fame several months
ago when he prevented a burglar
from robbing his masters house. He
has long been a neighborhood ce-
lebrity, however, his many less spec
tacular performances gaining him
friends among people of all ranks
of life except burglars.
Aside from being an efficient
watchdog, as was demonstrated
when he seized the burglar, who was
escaping through the window with
a bag full of silverware and cut
glass. he has many other accom-
plishments. He herds chickens as a
collie does sheep, he brings in wood
in the evening and brings in the
newspaper and the mail.
When all the members of the fam
lily are too far away to hear the
telephone he calls them to it as soon
as 1t rings, and on one occasion he
saved the house from burning when
he called his mistress into the room
where the rug had caught fire from
the crate. Moreover in spite of his
age, Mack is an expert mouser.
