SQUARE DEAL FOR THE PRESS.
Massachusetts, Association Protests
Against Imposition.

The Massachusetts, Press Associa-
ton, Ernest H. Pierce, president, at
it's annual meeting in Boston last
week, went on record as opposed to
giving free space to government war
committees and agencies, adopting
the following resolutions:
Whereas, the members of the Mas
sachusetts Press association believe
the methods pursued by the liberty
loan, war savings stamps and other
government war committees and
agencies, including the federal in
come tax authorities, are and have
been contrary to recognized princi-
pies of business, lacking in efficiency,
from the standpoint of the nations
interests and unfair to the publish
ers of newspapers of the state ma
nation; and
Whereas, Advertising space is a
commodity upon which the publish

Whereas, The various government
agencies are paying the going prices
for printing, supplies and other COM
modities entering into the conduct Of
their departments, as we'll as en-
ploying assistants at standard sala-
ries;
Resolved, That the Massachusetts
Press association, hereby expresses
it's belief that the space occupied by
the publicity desired by these agen-
cies should be paid for at regular
advertising rates, and that such ac-
tion would be conducive to the elimi-
nation of the inconsi sistencies, dupli-
cations and economic waste that have
characterized publicity campaigns in
the past; and be it further
Resolved, That the Massachusetts,
Press Association does not consider
either manuscript of stereotype
plate form, referring to these sub
jects, as consistent with it's position
on the question of the desirability
of paid advertising for government
and associated campaigns.
Local news reports of the progress
of campaigns or efforts locally to
further them are not construed as
coming within the scope of the pre-
ceding resolution.

Changed in Transit.

One of the methods of communica-
ting from one officer to another In
the trenches is to give the message to
one of the privates and tell him to
"pass the word along the line until
it reaches it's destination, viz, the
officer at the other end. The follow
ing story will show how serious
message can be destroyed on it's jour
ney from mouth to mouth:
Lieutenant A., in charge OF one
end of the British line, told the pri-
vate in front to "pass the word
along" to Lieutenant B.: eve are
going to advance. Can you send us
re-enforcements?"
When Lieutenant B. received the
message it was like this: eve are
going to a dance. Can you send us
three and four-pence?"-Strand

FOR RELIEF OF THE JEWS.
Governor Cooper Designates Day for
Welfare Canvas.

Governor Cooper issued procla-
nation designating April Z, 8 and .
as Jewish war relief days in South
Carolina and calls upon the people of
the State to respond to the appeals
for starving peoples in Europe. The
proclamation reads:
For centuries the great majority OF
the Jews have not allowed their race
politically, and in other ways have
been harassed. They have had no
nation and no home, except under
the dominion of other people. But
the Jews have not allowed theor race
to be lost, despite autocracy and the
unfriendly attitude of many of their
European rulers. Palestine, their an
cient home, has long been under the
heel Of the cruel Turk; old Russia,
where approximately half of the a.
100000 Jews of the world reside,
was none too kind to them. Auto
cratic Austria-Hungary, where
another million lived, gave them
small opportunity for self-assertion.
Relatively few Jews have enjoyed
the freedom of England or France,
and only some 100000 to 100000
enjoy the freedom of the United
States.
The Jews have subsisted in the
hope of a better day. The dawn Of
that day is at hand, for rights OF the
smaller peoples have been written
into international ethics. But the
Jews of Europe can not see nor at
tain this and are in rags. Their
plight in Poland is pitiable, as it IS
in other parts of old Russia; neither
do those residing in old Austria-Hun-
gary enjoy full opportunity.
Having given generously to vari-
Gus war funds and having fought we'll
In the battle lines, the Jews of
America now ask their Gentle fel-
low citizens to come to their. assis-
tance. They can not alone rescue
their brothers in Europe. Their ap-
peal to the populare as whole is a
worthy appeal. The world owes
muuch to the Jews of old and to the
Jew of today.
Therefore, I, r. A. Cooper, COVER
nor of South Carolina, do designate
April 7, 8, and as Jewish war re-
lief days in this State, and we call
upon the people to lend an attentive
ear to the cries of distress from the
Jews of Europe.

American soldier in himself. Last

The Rewards Of Literature.

sDid you make any money on your
last novel;" asked the writer's close
friend.
''Did I make any money!" echoed
the great novelist. "Well, I should
say did! I sold that description Of
the Palisades in chapter 8 to the
Quickline railroad for five thousand
dollars. My tribute to the Plaster de-
Paris Hotel in New York, in chapter
10, brought me three thousand DOL
lars from the hotel people, and the
United Resorts limited paid me a
thousand for my rhapsody on the
sunset in the Umepgog.Mountain, in
chapter 80, where the hero takes her
in his arms. What's left of it boil
down into a short story and get ten
dollars for it. Did I make any mon

Subletting a Contract.

A charitable old lady happended
one day to be visiting a school where
q young incorrigible was undergoing
punishment for a series of misde-
meanors.
The teacher cited him as the worst
boy in the school, one she could do
nothing with, and one upon whom
she had tried every form of punish
ment.
teHave you tried kindness?" said
the benevolent old lady.
81 did at first, but I've got beyond
that now"
At the close of the visit the old
lady asked the boy if he would call
and see her on the following Satur-
day. A boy arrived promptly at the
hour appointed. The kindly hostess
showed him lot of pictures, and set
beore him a delicious lunch in her
best china.
Then she thought it about time to
begin her little sermon.
@'My DEAR" she began, "were you
not very unhappy to stand in the
corner before all the class for pun
fshment?"
"Well, lady," broke in the boy
with his mouth full of cake, "that

Tramp Was a Samaritan.

John Kennedy and Thomas Camp
bell, two farmers living in a lonely
section of Foster township between
Hazelton and White Haven, Pa, re-
ported to the authorities recently
that they and their families undoubt-
edly had been saved from death
through influenza by the timely ap-
pearance of an unknown tramp at
their homes when every member of
both families was down with the
plague.
The tramp "blew in" after alight-
ing from a Jersey Central freight
train and called at the Campbell
place for something to eat only to
discover the entire household criti-
cally i'll in bed. Going to the next
house he found similar onditions,
and then decided to act as the Good
Samaritan. He nursed eleven of the
patients back to health, looked afte:
the fires, did the cooking and attend
ed to the stock until Campbell ano
Kennedy were able to look after the
work themselves.
The tramp made frequent trips to
Hazelton and White Haven to buy
food and medicine, and always re-
turned with the change, except small
amounts that he retained to uuench
his thirst on the way. This allow
ance was willingly granted.
