FREE PRESS JOKER"
DISCOVERED IN BILL
Mail Matter of All Kinds Would Be
Under Censorship of Postofiee.

A joker as dangerous to free speech
and free press as the censorship chapter
Itself was discovered In the administra-
ton espionage bill in the Senate yester-
day. 1t is an amendment written into
the bill by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, at the administrations sugges-
ton, oonferring upon the Postmaster
General absolute authority to close the
mails to all matter that he may deem
sedftious. anarchistie. or treasonable.
Senators waging the fight against the
censorship secetion declared that tC
guarantee free speech and free press dur
ing the war period 1t would be necessary
also to defeat the mails amendment.
They pointed out that even II the censor
ship provision were defeated or modified,
the administration would still have the
power, under the mails amendment, tc
prevent much of the circulation of news
papers and magazines containing in
formation or criticism of governmental
acts and policies.
There Is nothing In the section to con-
fine its operation to the war period. Inc
only recourse Of persons denied use OF
the mails would be under a provision
subjectlng the Postmaster Generals
order to review by Injunction proceedings
In the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia.
Indications are that those IN charge OF
the espionage bill would yield to the
pressure for modification of the proVi-
sion. When this section is disposed Of
Numerous amendments to the censorship
and embargo sections remain to be
voted on before the bin is placed for
final passage.

REVIEW OF CABLE NEWS

The reports from London that a big
ship has been lost are not borne out by re-
ports received in Washington, so far as
the Navy Department knows. While the
submarine is eKacting a heavy toll, there
has been a distinct Improvement in the
situation in the past three days. and Of
fcials are beginning to believe that the
U-boats have exhausted all their tor
pedoes and are now on their way back to
port so that their stocks can be re-
pIenished. II will be at least ten days,
IL this theory is correct, before they will
be extremely active again.
Bonar Laws statement in Parliament
that the German sinking of hospital and
Red Cross ships is Intended as a reprisaI
for the aerial raid on the town Of Frei-
burg by allied aviators has provoked wide
interest in Washington. In the near
future many American hospital ships
will be sailing the British Channel and
the North Sea; will they also be subject
to torpedo attack because OF raids made
by British and French aviators7 The
question is interesting. There is no doubt
that the American government will dodge
the subject OF reprisals until Il Is forced
to take notice of It; but German policy
has now assumed so drastic and barbaric
character that the United States will
not be able to ignore it much longer.
From Amsterdam a report has come
showing that German electoral reform is
again under discussion in the Reichstag
The Junkers are evidently having a more
difficult time than they realised in hold
ing this subject in escrow until the war
is over. There has been a temporary re-
cession OF the attack against Chancel-
lOr Won Bethmann-Hollweg, but 1t un-
doubtedly will recur unless his promised
peace kite is forthcoming in the near
future.
1t is possible that Great Britains ex-
ample in sending a labor mission to Rus
sia will be followed by the United States.
There is no doubt that the labor element
is the one possible point OF trouble for
the Miliukon administration.

 The bride, Miss Alton" as she is affectionately known by almost every one in this community, has lived in Mesa considerable portion of her life. For several years she has been de- partmental teacher in English in the Franklin school and while wish. -or her every happiness, it will be with keen regret that both trustees and tac- ulty give her up. As a musician Of rare ability, Miss Clark has led one of the choirs of the church of the Latter Day Saints, her ability in this respect being splendidly shown as director of the large union choir service during a recent visit of Governor Campbell to this city. As a reader off unusual merit she has been very liberal with her accomplishment.

Thus Jesus will ingly went through the ordeal of the crucifixion because he saw that only in this way could his mission he ac- ccmplished, and it was his voluntary submission to this experience which ena bled him later to accomplish the ascension and to sit down "at the right hand of Cod Mortals. by no means voluntarily find themselves in inhar- monious positions. and it is the very inharmony of such positions which drives them to seek and to find the Truth which has power to make them free. Thus, again speaking rela lively. person's right place is by no means always harmonious one to the human sense. but. if he knows and always seeks to do Gods will. his right place would necessarily be harmonious to him.

 We see therefore that absolutely speaking. man. as Gods idea is always in his right place, and that his right place is ever one of harmony. Again. relatively speaking, mortal man may be said to be always in his propr place. that is to say the place to which his mentality has entitled him. and if this place is inharmonious it is necessary that he should improve his understand ing of truth so that he may discover that harmony is a matter of demonstra- tion. the demonstration of his know ledge of reality. and is to be found neither in one relative position nor in another. Belief in the government of evil,-and rmember, every mortal. eX- cpt insofar as he is instructed by Chris tan Science. is educated to believe in the government of evilAtends to bring evil into our experience. It is the pen alty for breaking the first command ment which counsels us to have no other gods before the one God. who is infinite good. To achieve harmony it is necessary. not only to be good as the world. at its best, counts goodness. but to have trnst in good alone. trust founded on the spiritual understanding that good alone governs.

Jerome Verde Copper Co.

The second diamond drill hole which was being run to hit the same zone at a point 100 feet northeriy from where the 20 inches of ore was struck is re- ported in about $50 feet and has not

 hole will be started very soon to cut
 the same zone at greater depth How ever, it has not as yet been definitely
 decided whether it will be run from the
 same setup or to change the position Of

Written For the Christian Science
 Monitor

A problem which presents itself to most young men and to a considerable number of women is that of the choice If a profession. The question of their right field of endeavor or of duty will present itself to them continually, in fact to any adult person it is one of the most common problems to face and one, at the same time. of the most im- portant What then. has Christian Sci ence to teach upon this subject?
 Do mortals arrange these matters for themselves or are they arranged for them by what men call Providence? Everything will naturally depend on mans relationship to God, and il is be- cause Christian Science makes htis re- iationship so clear that it is of inesti- rnable assistance in working ou tsuch problems
 It is the teaching of Christian Science that God is infinite intelligence or Mind, infinite wisdom and infinite Love arranging all, and arranging all in perfect harmony; that man is His image or idea. having no other Mind hut His, governed absolutely by Him and expressing Him. Christian Science teaches, moreover, that all of God s ideas have each their proper place in His kingdom, that none can jostie or
  | their proper place and doing their proper work In fact, as Mrs. Eddy has ! nointed out on page 494 of."Science and : Health with Key to the Scriptures. ! Divine Love always has met and al- ways will meet every human need It ! is noticeable. however that she does rot say that God meets every human desire, that is, every desire of mortal 1 man. for the desires of mortal man are often in direct opposition to the divine requirements "Ye ask. and receive , not" explained the Apostle James, be ! cause ye ask amiss. that ye may con- sIme it upon your lusts.'
 The fact is that because God is Spirit ' or Mind, man, the real man. is spiritual and not material, so that the mortal material selfhood apparent to the senses is not mans real selfhood. but a coun- ferfeit of man, false concept of the real man. It is evident, therefore that as the real. spiritual man under Gods government, exists in a state o everlasting harmony, so the counterfei of man. the more he is Q counterfeit the less. that is to say he is like man! real selfhood in the image and likeness of good. the further will he be removed from the harmony that attends mani

 tions in which they are placed
 The fact, however, that morta finds himself in some Osition which | by no means harmonious, does not nee
