Hartman, a patriotic youth from

Willis went through without a flaw

several layers of adhesive plaster

LET THE NEWSPAPERS ALONE.

Discussion of the espionage bill is
on in the house. 1t is the newspaper
gag feature that is the special bone
of contention.
Suppose the war drags along, there
is bound to be some dissatisfaction
and improper comment must be held
down." Representative Volstead
argues.
But who is to define what ''im-
proper comment" consists of. 1t is
possible that some bureau chief, even
some cabinet officer, may prove to be
woefully lacking. Is this bureau chief
or his cabinet officer to be allowed
to shield his misdoings of his ignor-
ance behind a drastic law that muz-
zles the newspapers?
Says Representative Madden: 1.-The
they ought to have information con-
corning the conduct of the war"
OF course they ought. To deny them
men and money to fight this war, and
this right would be the surest way pos
sible to Great suspicion and arouse
distrust.
Representative Walsh believes that
the newspapers are patriotic enough to
maintain voluntary censorship. AS
a matter of fact, hasn't it already been
proved that they are?
OF course, information or gossip or
news that would benefit the enemy is
But no newspaper is going to do any
thing that will give aid or comfort to
the Prussian militarists.
The freer the newspapers are the
better it will be for the whole coun-
try.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

A Plea for Home.
fContributed)

There is a certain newspaper pub lished in the United States that ev- cry citizen of Polk county should read-The Star, The Mena Star get it in your mind.
 Just think. The Star Publishing Company spends a good many dol lars each week to get out a paper which costs less than cents per week to read. Again, The Star wants every subscriber it can get. Now. do you suppose it ever delib- erately does things to displease any worthy person. But at times it must displease someone or fail in it's duty to its readers.
 The Star has enemies, of course. But on the other hand it has hun- dreds and hundreds of friends and probably has more subscribers than any other county paper in the State
 Really and candidly, The Star has only one real, big, besetting sim namely, it is afraid to boost itself Look over dozen county papers from any state and take notice Over half of them are continually blowing about what "I am doing Hts T." T, at every sentence.
 So come out of it Mena Star gel busy and let the world know what you are really doing. Blow some Give us a whole column of "taffy' once and while. We are used to ii from various sources anyway. Sears X Roebuck catch people by blowing their own horns. So why not you Our own county affairs are a 1000 times more important than 1000 friends like Roebuck
 Now, this leads us up to another subiect-our merchants. Give them your trade. They need it. They arc not crooks They are mostly strlN- ing to do their very best for you and all. Merchants donate large sums of money to churches, schools fairs, charities, etc, all of which helps to upbuild the community and increases the value of land and other property.
 To tell you the truth, it is a won der that merchants live long. Eve rybody knocks them. Even rela- tives and close friends will do it. When fully 99es of them are honor able, upright, and just They are nc worse, at least, than any other class of human beings. Home first in everything Polk county first any how.
