PRINCIPLES UNCHANGED

The headquarters of the Republi-
can senator's at the Capitol has been
moved down two floors to the room
formerly occupied by the late Sena-
tor Newlands. The change was made
necessary in the opinion of the party
in power, in order to enlarge the ia
cilities of the Committee on Ma raj
Affairs, who will now have three
rooms in which to conduct their meet
ings. The new minority conference
room is as large and convenient. as the
old, and the discussions that will be
neld in it will be as beneficial 10 the
country's welfare as the conferences
that took place in the former quar-
tiers.

Effect Of Learning.

President George Kistner Of Cam
pion college said the other day:
Learning, profound learning, is the
light of the world, but we continually
get new proof of the harm a little
learning does.
"a lady employed a schoolgirl of
twelve to scrub her front steps. The
schoolgirl worked well. but suddenly
she stopped coming. The lady met her
on the street and said:

Among all the pictures of Halifax
which have been published in the
newspapers since the terrible disaS-
ter, there are none of later date than
1914, which show anything of the
water front or of the city's d~efences.
This is due wholly to a voluntary CEN
sorship which editors have put upon
themselves at the suggestion Of he
Canadian authorities. 1t shows, as
hundreds of other instances have, that
a patriotic press may be trusted to
censor itself; and that the money
spent on the Creel bureau and other
forms of news suppression is unnoees-
sary as a means for keeping informa
ton away from the enemy.
