ter. AT least" says he, 1T is a copy of
the poem in Mr. Gibbons's own handwrit-
ing; and Miss Townsend's account of the
vicissitudes of her distinguished relative
is most interesting. Mr.. Gibbons was a
'Iicksite Quaker and it seems strange
that a member of the Society of Friends
should be engaged in composing war
songs. Mr.. Morse, however, a son-in-
law of Mr. Gibbons, gave a delightfully."-
humorous touch to this trivial charge
when he said in a letter to Mr.. Brander
Matthews, Mr., Gibbons was a Quaker,
with reasonable leaning toward wrath

Sir--Once again Sykes rings the bulls

why should the Town Meeting party bid the

not drive him back into the rain and give

more about our old stage favorites than
any other man we've ever met. and who
could chat with us the length of our
working day, if we had our way about it.
Here's one of severa, stories he told us
Of j. w. Kelly, the Rolling Mill Man:
"One Sunday night, which was pay
time at Proctor's Twenty-third Street
Theatre, New York, Burnelle, the house
manager, was sitting in the wings paying
off the performers. 1t was the habit with
Burnelle to count out the money to each
individual as he came along, and it was
regular thing, too, for the house to levy
an arbitrary. tax, or excess commission,
upon those players who would stand for
it, Burnelle attempted to put this over
upon Kelly When his money was
counted to him Kelly remarked the short
age. short said the Rolling Mill Man,
m just hold this until you pay me all
that's coming to me- So saying he took
Burnelle's nose between his index and
middle finger and held it until the last
penny was paid"

CENSORSHIP NECESSARY.

There are ways a great majority of the papers of the country who en- joy government condolences. and who do not require any censorship insofar as their columns are concerned. There are other papers, always selflshly grasping for beats" which can not be trusted to withhold information. President Wilson has made it plain that the demand for censorship bin is 10 meet the latter contingency The reputable press of the country does not resent a censorship because il really means a protection for those who would voluntarily comp with the requests of The government. With censorship the others would be forced into such 4 compliance. The congress sentiment bs rather opposed 10 a censorship. but perhaps this op. position is based on a fear that such a censorship as b. authorized may be abused, We do. not believe that Presi- dent Wils-n would permit it to be abused or that he would withhold through a censorship one word of fac, that the people should know. save when such fact was Of advantage to the common enemy.
