the press and the press associations to
use their own honor, patriotism and
judgment.
For some time there has been friction
between Mr. Creel's machine for elabora-
ton and decoration and other more re-
sponsible machines for disseminating
military information, with result not
at all dignified or effective. A Democrat
ic administration capital d is used
advisedly-fnds it difficult to under
stand that nine hundred and ninety
nine newspapers in every thousand will
bend backward in their efforts to do
their full duty as patriotic publications,
and that for the other type it would re-
quire only one summary example under
the presidents autocratic authority dur
ing the war to send every one of the pro-
German rats scurrying to their corners
and squealing for mercy.
The press has given to the government
in its efforts to raise an army and navy
a support which, if it could be valued in
dollars and cents, would have to be reck
oned among the millions. The same
press can be trusted to do its duty as
conscientiously in what it omits to pub
lish as it has done under the spur of the
nations need for publicity.
The pro.German journalistic plotters
are known, and some of them have vast
resources, but not one of them is big
enough openly to defy the government SO
long as the governments requests are
based on logic and patriotism.-Boston

he would personally superintend the
laying out of the body. Tho king did
not exact q promise that the doctor
would not examine the arm about
which so much curiosity had been ex-
cited by the kings refusing to be bled
from It. Gorgensen might consider It
his duty to make the secret public
Having been conhded with it and
knowing that 1t did not affect the
state, he would likely refrain from d.
vulging it.
When the king was known to be
dead DR.. Gorgensen sent every one
out Of the room and, having locked the
doors. lifted the sleeve that covered
the dead soyereign's right arm. There
was the guillotine, the body strapped
to 1t and the words Death to kings
and tyrants."
Many years had elapsed since that
picture was made and those words
written. Great had been the rise Of
the man who had stood looking on as
one of the guard attending the execu-
ton OF the king But the doctor knew
what the world knew-that the dead
king had been French peasant, sol
der In the ranks, and rumor had it
that he had been present as one of
the guard at the beheading of the
king Of France. Gorgensen OWNED the
rest.
Strange 1t is that this peasant king
was the only person whom Napoleon
created a sovereign whose descendant
now sits on throne.
