Darkening the Dark Places

The New York World supported the censor
ship clause in the espionage bill, but when Secre-
tary Of State Lansing practically closed the state
department to newspaper correspondents, the
World let out roar.
The stand of the World is inconsistent. It
could see no infringement of the rights Of free
press and free speech in President Wilson's gag
measure but bemoans Secretary Lansing's refus-
al to let the newspapers know about what is 60
ing on in international affairs.
The Worlds structure of Lansing is applica-
BILE to the whole censorship problem even if that
newspaper supports the presidents muzzle order.
The editorial follows:
BY practically closing the State Department to
correspondents Secretary Lansing nensifes
ditions which have long been subject of complaint.
What has often been called the dark department is

The Rat Army

One of our readers suggests that the city and
county organize a rat campaign to exterminate
the pest. She calls attention to the thousands OF
dollars that are wasted by the ravages of this
pest.
Here is an opportunity for an organization to
begin a campaign that has real merits to it. An
organized drive on rats would save hundreds of
dollars to farmers and help eradicate a public
nuisance City dwellers are forced to wage con-
slant warfare on rats to keep them from infest-
ing their premises. united drive might check
the pest.
Editorially the Indianapolis News last Satur-
day had the following to say about the rat army
in Indiana:
Every day the citizens Of Indiana $4,000 for the
maintenance Of rats. This is than the Indanapo-
lis chapter Of the American Red has been able to
add to fund a campaign extending weeks.
The figures based the government estimate that
population of the country equal to the human
population and that the rat food day val
