the bill as amended in the house, job
on the censorship board was provided
for Mrs. C. j. Evans, while equal pre-
caution was taken to legislate Miss
Carrie Simpson off the censor board.
The measure which passed the house
is glittering display of the narrow,
selfish, factional feeling displayed
among the censors since the board was
created. Persons who have studied
the new censor bill declare it provides
for legislating Miss Simpson off the
board.
