She had been a faithful and
consistent member of the Meth

for q little more than a half CEN
fury. During this period of time
her ambition was to carry for
ward the banner of Christ, and
when nearing the end she could
say, as did the apostles of old, Il
have fought a good fight, have
kept the faith. Henceforth there
is laid up for me a crown of right
eousness. /"
By her death Whitwell not on
ly loses a good citizen, but the
Red Hill Church loses one among
the most faithful and aged men,
bers.

War Against Propaganda
Iron the New York TrIbune.l

II is good news that the Department
Of Justice proposes TO ask Congress to
deport the three or four thousand
overt-minded enemy aliens now in
termed in this country. They should be
deported and their re-entry prohibited.
That is the first OF the steps needed in
the coming battle against propaganda.
The broader problem is replete with
difficulties, and it will be the part OF the
Indifferent and the pacifists to oppose
each and every measure proposed. But
IL nations are to live equally and hon
estly, as do upright neighbors, that
most substle and snakelike Of all Ger
man weapons, propaganda, must be
fought to its lair and ended.
New legislation is unquestionably
needed Of a novel and broadly con-
ceived character. The virus OF alien
propaganda must be analyzed, defined
and prohibited by the strictest of
laws. with severe penalties for their
breach. The essence OF the evil is its
underhandedness The parallel with ad-
yertising matter carried in a newspaper
or magazine as reading matter at once
suggests itself. There is small obiec-
tion TO a nations conducting a public
and avowed publicity campaign. The
peril lies in the secret propaganda that

BY the United Press.
POLA ALTO. Cal Jan. 3.-Don't spank
the klddies and then blame it on the
Bible.
This is the warning being sent broad
cast by the American Humane Educa-
ton society here The society is op-
posed to,spanking, and points out that
the alleged Biblical authority so often
quoted. spare the rod and spoil the
child" cannot be found in any Bible.
Instead the maxim that has brought so
many blue days to little folk originated
in a poem by Samuel Butler in 1868, the
Humane Education society says:
Says the society's letter to parents:
Slapping. spanking or whipping chill
dren cannot be defended. They have
been universal. They are now common.
They are seldom discussed. Possibly
shame prevents parents from talking
about this important subject. Is
time the practice was discussed openly.
Children cannot defend themselves.
Teachers and parents who have a high
standard Of conduct, should speak and
write in strong terms condemning the
corporal punishment Of children"
