Story About a Young Man.

We have just been favored with a peep at the

had also endowed him with much personal beauty.

The American government is keeping the people in

He is not keeping Americans in the dark He is sup

halfght-he light of SANDERS, lies, venality. He is
reapng rich dividends from government stupidity The
people restve under the policy which conceas their
own afars from them. They demand information
about the war, the censorship notwithstanding They

war, and getting it from German propaganda
The amount of mouth-to-mouth buncombe which is
being circulated, and which is being taken seriously
is amazing. Washington fairly teens with it. and in
districts far from the center of things the extent to
which IL influences public opinion may well be imagn-
ed. Much Of the buncombe is ridiculous Neverthe-
less honest we'll dishonest folk continue to keep

Here you have the first uhwholesome fruit of the
incubus of ignorance which government persists in
fastening the public Here you have the first sinis-
