Macaulay's letter is to Arthur King

The newspapers are doubtless her
aids of freedom, but they are now
getting a taste Of what autocracy
means. Not only have they, in COM
pany with other periodicals, been
doomed to pay more postage to get
their sheets to their subscribers, but
they are required to do this and that
to conserve paper and to help the gov
eminent fight this war The list of
things they are asked to do is quite
long, and some of them interfere with
the practice of making money, and
are therefore grievous.
Sometimes one is tempted to almost
suspect that someone in Washington
with authority is getting even with
the newspapers and magazines. | have

strenuously opposed the new second

ing his periodicals classed as nOn-es-

it is it opens long vista for reflective
thought.
If one were inclined to examine into
this matter of the entente Coriale, or
the lack of it, existing between the
government and the newspapers, per

less surprised at what he found. He
might even be astonfshed, or astound-

In his sermon on choosing a Wife,
the Rev. John R. Straton, pastor of
Calvary Baptist church, New York,
said: "In choosing a wife a man
should choose a character and not a
complexion. Beauty is good if accom-
panied by other things. But mere
physical beauty, unless there is spir-
itual beauty to transfigure and glorify
it, does not amount to much. A man
may while away idle moments with
the fast and flippant maiden. He may
giggle with her, dance with her, drink
with her and fondle her, but when it
comes to marrying he will look in
another direction. He will seek one
who has pride and purity, self-respect
that does not brook familiarities, and
maidenly modesty and reserve, which
to his heart is the seal Of true woman
hood"

Vaccinations of the German espion-
