thinning and Scientific Pressl

Censorship is matter of concern In
every department of life; 1t affects
every industry, Censorship upon
criticism will not, as some profess, re-
move distractions to the free course
OF government in effectively carrying
out its program it will rather allow
the sand and dirt to accumulate over
the administrative machinery until
the bearings are clogged and the hot
boxes bring trouble. If criticism be
not exactly lubricant, ii is at least
most excellent Bosom to keep the
works clean We have welcomed Il
certain kind of censorship, but the
politicians have gone after something
wholly different. They have sought to
muzzle the press; to surround au-
thorhy with halo of impeccability,
which savors not of democracy. The
argument of sensationalism has been
used against the press to trick the
ruhlic into acquiescence, and this, it
must be confessed, is to attack the
press at the spot where the linden leaf
fell upon it. Nevertheless, the argu-
ment is one that confuses the issue. A
considerable part of the American
press has indeed become yellow, but
the color has been given chiefly
through the untrustworthines OF its
news. Theory, opinion, criticism, have
no power to harm when they contra

1t Is not necessary to advertise these
bonds to sell the whole issue, but 1t Is
earnestly desired that this loan shall
be popular loan. a loan by and from
the people at large of the United
States. and not alone from banks,
trust companies and fnanciers. To
that end bonds are to be issued of
small denominations and subscribers

amounts are granted their full SUBJ

bonds7
Yes; every American. who sub
scribes to the justice of the course of
the United States in entering and
conducting the war We are now en-
gagged in should subscribe to the Lib
erty Loan bond issue to the extent of
his or her financial ability.
Every American who subscrtbes to
the belief that an American should
stand by his or her country should
subscribe to the Liberty Loan bond
issue.
Every American who loves America
and Is jealous of Americas honor
should subscribe to the Liberty Loan
bond issue. The real success of the
loan Is to be more determined by the
number of Americans prticipating in
L than by the amount subscribed.
The spirit of the nation is going to be
Judged abroad, especially by our en-

What is a Liberty Loan bond?


A Liberty Loan bond is solemn
promise of the United States to pay at
maturity the amount of he bond TO
the holder thereof. and to pay interest
semi-annually each year from the date
IF the issuance of the bond until Il is
fully and finally paid
What is the security for a Liberty
Loan bond?
The faith and honor of the United
States, backed by all of the resources
Of the nation and the American peo-
pie. A Liberty Loan bond is a mort
gage on all the resources and taxing
powers of the government and all of
the resources of the American people.
What is the nature of Liberty
Loan Bond7
There are two kinds of Liberty Loan
bonds. Bearer bonds are to be issued
in denominations of $50, $780, $500 and
$1,000. These bearer bonds, which are
made payable to bearer, have interest
coupons attached which are detached
by the holder when the interest in
staflments they represent are due, and
can be cashed at any bank the same
az a United States treasury note.
Registered bonds are to be issued
which are registered as to both prn.
cipal and interest, in denominations
Of 500, $500. $1,000, $4,000, $4,000,
$4,000 and 100000; checks for the
amount of interest due will be mailed
out semi-annually to the holders of
these registered bonds.
Loan bond?
Liberty Loan bonds of the first Is
sue of 81 200, 100000 are to bear date of
June Is, 1917, and to run for 80 years,
except that the. government reserves
the right to pay them Is years after
date, II this right il not exercised by
the government Is years from date,
the bonds will run the full 80 years.
These bonds bear interest at az per
cent per annum, and the interest Is
payable semi-annually on the 18th day
Of December and the 18th day of June
in each year.
What special advantages have these
Liberty Loan bonds?
One especial advantage no other
bonds, national, state, municipal, or
have is that if the United |
states during the continuance of this
war shall issue other bonds at high
er rate Of interest, the holders of these
Liberty bonds have the right to ex-
change their Liberty bonds for bonds
bearing the higher rate of interest,
dollar for dollar
What other special advantages do
these bonds possess?
They are nonstaxable. If your city, ;
county and state taxes are three mills
on the dollar, a not unusual tax, these
bonds are equivalent to ordinary cor
porate bonds or other investments /
bearing w per cent, /
In addition, no federal tax which
var conditions may later make ne {
;essary win affect these bonds. The +,
,nly tax these bonds are subject to is I

Judges and Salaries.

Hampton Chronicle: In speaking
of the proposed increase in salary for
judges, one leading lawyer of this
judicial district, says that he be-
lieves that men who class with the
present judges should have an in
crease in salary, but he is fearful
that if raise in pay is granted it
will be the "bum lawyer" who will
spend his time working the primary
campaign, while the hest lawyers
will not get mixed up in fight.
Good men have usually been Sc
lected for the bench, and it has been
largely because of the fat that the
older and more experienced attor-
neys are willing to take the place
more for the honor than the salary,
as they have laid up sufficiently for
the rainy day, and then there is a
high class of younger lawyers who
have aspired to the bench for the eX-
peEience they would gain.
1t is also stated by those who pro-
pose the Judge for each county
proposition, that it is not the inten-
tion to have a county court similar
to the present district court, but
that the proposed county judge take
care of all business now transacted
by the various justices of the peace
Throughout the different townships
and at salary of about $500 per
year. Advocates of this plan say
that the salary will justify some
good lawyer in each county to accept
the place, and that the taxpayers
land those who have interests at the
court will receive better service, and
at the same time good men will be
developed for the higher judgeships
when there are vacancies on the dis.
trict bench. The idea might not be
ia bad one.

Mrs. Chase was going to the station
late Sunday afternoon to catch the
passenger which should have reach
ed this city at 1898 a. M, but was
eight hours late, she barely escaped
serious injury or worse, when the
entire front of one of the buildings
on the main street in Williams was
blown outward onto the sidewalk.
She, with a friend, had barely pass
ed the building when the front fell
outward with a crash. The building
was only one story frame, or one
or both of the pedestrians might
have been injured by falling debris
even at that distance from the build
ing.
in this city eavespouts and ridge
poles were blown off in several in
stances. A ridgepole rested in the
top of tree near the U. B. church
early this morning and other evil
'dences of the strength of the wind
yesterday were apparent about the
city.

The worst blizzard of years struck
this city and vicinity Sunday morn

mercury in the government ther-

zero during the night Saturday night
and on Sunday morning. The tenn
perature was below zero all day
while the wind blew a perfect gale,
swirling the snow until it was i'm

low temperature combined with the
high wind made the day one in

supply of coal.
