LoANING SUBSCRIPTION LISTS

Many publishers are not unfamil-
lar with the request, very often from
good friends of local merchants, for
the loan of the subscription list-us
ually for the purposes of circulating
advertising matter of some kind. An
Iowa publisher, who has frequently
received requests of this kind, and
who took the stand that the list of
his subscribers was personal and con-
fidential property, wrote the field sec
rotary of the state press association
asking his position of the stand taken.
Following is the publishers's inquiry:
at has always been the custom of
this office to refuse to give out our
subscription list to be used as a mail
ing list In compliance with this pol
icy il has been necessary several times
recently to gently but firmly turn
down local merchants on request of
this kind. We have always reasoned
that our list was something of value,
being quite complete and correct as
to addresse, and that in order to get
the benefit of it the advertiser should
use the columns of this paper for his
message"
In his reply the secretary stated
that in his opinion the stand taken
was absolutely right end proper. He
said:
"Most truly, the list of newspa-
per's subscribers is of great value. 1t
has cost the newspaper publisher an
average of So name to get and hold
it. If he has a list of but 1000 names,
the advertiser wishing to use it for
matters outside of the paper is asking
for the loan and use of property worth
$4,000, the use of which deteriorates
and detracts from the value of that
property more than would the use and
abuse of a $4,000 automobile deteri-
crate its value. Not only that, but
the safety of this list is important. 1t
cannot be peddled to others without
seriously damaging the owner. Copies
of it might be readily made and sold
at considerable profit, if it is a live
list. Our judgment would be to say
no, as this publisher has done, kindly
but firmly, and explaining the situa-
ton with frankness and pride that he
has such list and values it more than
he values the house he lives in or the
automobile he rides in. The virtue
and integrity of his list must be
maintained; once peddled as public
property it would soon become thing
despised and misused, and those whose
names are on this list have a right to
be protected from such barter or trade
of their names, even by business men,"

JOINS BROTHER IN LAW FIRM

Col. Henry Davis this week became
associated with his brother, R. H. Da-
Wis, in the practice of law here, under
the firm name of Davis and Davis.
The offices will remain in the Con-
solidated building.
Col. Davis was only recently dis
charged from the army, having served
as Judge Advocate of the seth Di-
vision. He was probably the highest
ranking officer from this section of
the state.
His legal ability is attested by his
rapid rise to high rank in the army.
He is an able speaker and is said TO
b ne deep student. The law firm Of
Davis and Davis will no doubt be one
of tn strongest in this cectionA of the
country. rs
We understand Col. Davis contem-
plates the purchase Of home here.

The returns disclosed that it is al
most impossible to unearth a July

Forest families-Lake Forest being
the wealthiest suburb of Chicago
undertook to form an adoption group
of the twelve calendar months. Janu-

other birthdays were easy to find, but
no July child has yet been discovered

CHARLES MORRIS IN
JURED BY TRAIN

j. f. Morris left last Friday for
Kansas, in response to a message,
conveying the information that his
son, Charles, had been run over by a
train at Clay Center, Kansas. The
injuries consisted of broken left
leg, and his right arm was amputc.ted
below the elbow. Charles is in an
army hospital at Fort Riley, Kansas,
and Mr.. Morris, who returned home
yesterday noon, reports that he is
recovering nicely, which will doubt
less be good news to Charles many
friends.
1t is truly lamentable that Charles,
who came through the war with only
minor injury, should suffer such
misfortune as has befallen him after
he has returned home and to Goods
country" His friends are very sorry
to hear of his injuries and wish him a
speedy and complete recovery, in which
wish The Times joins.

FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

~ am putting the case of Ireland
squarely before the American people;
it is a question as between England
and Ireland, between right and might,
and / have no doubt of their verdict"
said De Valera, provisional President
of the Irish republic in his San Fran
cisco address.
For what purpose? What form of
verdict do De Valera and his ardent
Irish-American supporters want from
the American people? If they merely
want American sympathy for the as
piration of the Irish for independent
self-government, they have it. Mil
lions of Americans, doubtless an over
whelming majority, sympathize with
the cause of Irish freedom and have
done so since our own republic was
founded. For this purpose the De
Valera campaign is hardly necessary.
Do they want the verdict to take the
form of an American effort to free
Ireland, regardless of the will of
Great Britain? Do they want us to
wreck the peace treaty because Ire
land did not get hearing at the peace
table and England is signer of the
treaty? Do they want US to go to war
with Great Britain or take such Of
fensive action that we risk a quarrel
with Great Britain? do they want
American policy and American inter-
ests and world interests at this crit
ical time subordinated to Irish in
terests and aspirations?
We ask these questions because it is
time to know precisely what the pur-
pose of the Irish republic propagan-
dists is. Americans, and particularly
Americans of Irish birth, ought to
know the truth and the consequences.
Interference on our part would GER
tainly bring war. 1t is conceivable
that under the pressure of a political
propaganda by Irish sympathizers,
Congress might take action without
actual interference that would invite
war. 1t would be another world war
of an extent and horror which would
be hard to foretell. s-'', 10,
We ask these questions because, at
the De Valera meetings, President
Wilson is Kissed because he declined
to break with Britain and ruin the
peace conference to defend the Irish
cause; the League of Nations is de-
nounced and we are asked to defeat it
on account of the British-Irish issue.
Not only is Great Britain denounced,
but We are asked to repudiate the
British empire and all its works.
This is a large program. 1t has
plenty of dynamite in it for America
and for mankind. Our Irish friends
should tell us what they want, and
all true Americans, who put American
interests first, should stop and think
whittier we are being led-Post-Dis-
patch.

East st. Louisans are now "get-
ting back" at Congress for that au-
gust body's scathing arraignment of
the Illinois city for the 1917 race riots.
1t certainly does come with poor grace
from Congress to criticise anybody
or anything, in view of that body's
apparent failure even to enact laws
that are calculated to afford re-
lief to the people. While their prop
uganda and camoufage shows up well
as the members doubtless believe,
there is already a deep-seated and
rapidly growing idea in the minds OF
for some time past been making a
dismal failure of itself as a great law
making body. The great mass of peo-
pie have come to regard Congressional
adjournment as the best act Of that
body.

PECULIAR LIQUOR CAPTURED

I The term "booze hound" is usually
used when applied to the man VINO
catches bootleggers, but it had diff
ferent meaning the other night at
Bridgeport.
"Scrub" peeler is the city marshal
of Bridgeport. His work consists
largely of watching the arrivals from
the trains which come down from Wy
oming, for many try to smuggle IN
booze. =.
"Scrub" and State "booze hound
were watching the arrivals get off the
Casper train. Among them was a
rather elderly man, poorly dressed,
who carried an old suitcase. The old
chap handled the suitcase gingerly,, as
though it might contain something
that would break. Setting it carefully
inside the door of the waiting room at
the depot, he left the scene, as though
afraid to be seen in company with the
suitcase any more than was absolutely
necessary. ms M :.
"Scrub' and his companion immedi-
ately scented booze and moved nearer
the suitcase, keeping their eye glued
on it as though fearful that it might
get away. Presently, as they looked,
a thin stream Of dark liquid oozed
from the suitcase onto the floor. .
"We've got the goods on the old
gent now" said scrub, "he's bump
ed the suitcase and broken bottle"
Stepping quickly to the suitcase, ne
thrust his index finger of his right
hand into the little pool on the floor
and tasted carefully. THAT'S whls-
key" he said. His companion follow
ed his example. NO., that amt wills
key; it's gin, or somethin' else intoxi-
catin'," said he. s.i /,
"Well, we'll see which is right"
said Scrub, and they proceeded to
open the suitcaes without delay, in
| full view of the crowd, which had been
watching them. Inside the suitcase
was-and there was nothing else---a
pair of hound pups, which gave vent
Ito their feeling of gladness by howls
Of Joy, as Scrub" and tho "booze
hound" fled down the track murmur-
ing "Never again! Never againp-Ex

There has for some time past been
considerable agitation" in Congress
concerning the high cost of meats and
the innumerable by-products of the
packing industry, which comprise a
large part of the eatables of the land,
as well as many other necessities. The
only result thus far noticeable, wheth-
err as a result of such Congressional
"agitation" or not, is that prices on
practically all necessities continue to
go higher. Perhaps if measures were
properly forced to "unhook" large
and apparently ever increasing num-
Der of members of Congress from
such combine, then some relief for
the great mass of the people might,
with some of assurance of success, be
secured.

KANSAS HARVESTING

,t New Wheat

Wellington, Kan. - The song Of
golden sea, fretted by the droning on-
rush of a horde of reapers, is sweeping
across Kansas. 1t is the song of the
wheat. And Kansas waits with bated
breath until the last echo is lost in the
vanishing fairness of its golden
prairies.
TITS time of mighty days in Kan
sas, when its people respond to the call
of war torn and famisIied world for
food, and nature, not to be shamed
by the efforts of her children, smiles
generously on the state.
A flood Of $45O,OO0,00O will flow into
Kansas when the 225,000,000 bushel
wheat crop is sold. Kansas, used to
huge crops, is fairly staggered at the
prospect of such opulence.
The yield per acre. will not be ex-
cessive, although good Laborers from
every state In the Union are helping
harvest the great crop. 5;aN f
