SHACKLING THE NEWS
PAPERS.

In late years there has been a
persistent tendency to abridge the
freedom Of the press. sPoliticians
seeking revenge against publish
ers who opposed or exposed them
have introduced many bills to en-
barrass and limit editors in the
free expression Of opinions and
the free conduct Of the business
office. One Of the latest attempts
to put a ball and chain on the
publishers leg, is the proposed
law forbidding a newspaper con
tanning liquor ads from going
through the mails into " dry"
States. The question of Prohibi-
ton isn't involved at all. 1t is
purely an effort TO use a moral
question as a cloak to cover
cowardIy attack on the freedom
Of the press. Just as ''patriotism
is often the last resort of the
scoundrel," so is Prohibition the
shield behind which Turk some of
the most disreputable rascals in
America. If the publishers do
not rise as a body to fight these
encroachments upon their liber-
ties, they will soon be bounded
on the North by law, on the South
by law on the East by law and
on the West by law. and there
won't be so much as a grease
spot left Of freedom We take
no sides on Prohibition, Religion
or Politics, but we do take our
place on the side of the Absolute
Freedom Of the Press.-Newspap-

Thrift is a very important ele-
mcnt in character. Those who
learn to be economical in youth
have no difficulties when they are
responsible for the income nee
cssary to maintai a home. It is
the ma or woman that allows

yond the income that has difficult

them the worth of money.-South-

AN ARMY TO FRANCE?

Current dispatches from Wash
ington indicate that Marshal
Jotfre is about to win a victory
on American soil. His suggestion
that a detachment Of American
troops be sent to France at the
earliest practicable moment was
informally considered at yester-
days cabinet meeting, it seems,
and the press kilograms later re-
ported that the prevailing view
among administration officials is
that a force should be sent ever
as soon as possible" 1t is known
that our own army experts OPP
posed the dispatch of "a small eX-
petition in haste, contendlng that
it would not be strong enough to
cut any appreciate figure on the
fighting line, that it would be
folly to send green troops, and
that the veterans Of our regular
establishment are needed here at
home, to help train the new army.
