Truth.

Everyone wants to know the truth,

lieve. The Philadelphia Public Ledger
has been publishing a series of letters
from DIR. E. J. Dillon, correspondent
in Europe, whose statements have fire.
quently not agreed with the news as
published through the general agen-
cies, although so far his statements
have always proven to be correct.
And it is curious that the newspaper
has been called upon to publish a
long editorial because of criticism that
has been made on account of these
publications.
We have condemned Germany for
its system of propaganda, but there
is time for us to consider whether in
this country there has not been or
may not be a disposition to mould
public sentiment by propaganda and
censored news and it may be well for
us to consider the statement of the
wise man, "Know the truth and the
truth will make you free"

A Proposition.

We are told that there is plan on
foot more or less promoted by the Sal
walton Army to take over the saloons
and turn them into coffee houses or
working mems clubs.
Here is proposition. We have three
hotels in. Lambertville, which are CIV
ing good Accommodations to our visit
ing public, in spite of the fact that
the main source of their revenue has
been taken from them. Now, would
it not be a good plan and profitable
arrangement if our Chamber of Com
merce and Merchants Association
could get together and devise some
plan for compensation if one or all of
these hotels could turn over their bar
room for public comfort and public
accommodation and is this not a
proposition which would invite the CO.
operation of those who believe in
prohibition and social betterment?
