There might well be provided
some way to regulate newspapers,
some way to keep irresponsible in
dividuals from engaging in the bust
ness. There might be provided some
way of so training reporters that
they will become more accurate, and
less prone to jump at conclusions, so
that when they do write their storia
they will be as accurate as human
beings can make them. But unfot
tunately this can not be done by law.
II must come In the natural develop
ment Of the business. The public
can regulate this thru patronage. If
the public would discredit the partl-
san paper, the unreliable paper, the
scandal monRcr, and tn, sensational

achieved
q The hope for a free press there
fore rests with the press and the pub
lie, and we believe the time g. com.

the information upon which It bases

public questions from the press, the
public is entitled TO have that infor-

FREE SPEECH AND \ FREE
PRESS.

There has been a great deal said
and written Of late about free speech
and freedom Of the press and indeed
there Is much to be said considering
both Of these doctrines OF democracy
without them there would not long
be a democracy to uphold them.
Tho socialists, I. e., the extremists
in that party, the I. w. w. and others
Of this ilk conceive free speech as q
license 20 abuse liberty, on the other
hand the ultra conservatives think II
Is a privilege to condemn utterly any
idea to which they do not agree.
There has been an unAmerican in
toleration on the part OF each one Of
them
Concerning a free press the mani
fostations are evident. The press, as
an institution. is itself to blame for
this. The extreme partisanship of
the great bulk of the journals of
America has brot the natural reac-
tlon. The American people are and
have been for years, aware of the
fact that partisan papers can not al
ways be relied upon, especially dur
ing seasons OF political controversy.
and that, therefore, r. the reason
why one so often hears the remark.
"You can't believe that statement
for II appeared In such and such
paper" Democrats say this OF Re-
publican papers and Republicans az
often say II of Hearst or other mug
wump sheets that seek only sensa-
tionalism.
In assuming so partisan a policy
and by becoming apologists for a
political party-any political party
"A newspaper bellies its name. II ls
no longer a newspaper In the strict
sense OF the word-it IN medium
OF propaganda with nows features
added, to give that propaganda cur
ronoy, and sufficient sugar coating to
secure circulation,
In their news columns. however,
the great bulk OF the newspapers
have taken a broader and better view
OF their duty. while the news gather
ing agencies have been almost blame
less In their impartiality
Free speech and a free press are
the very bulwark OF liberty, and II II
therefore OF grave moment that the |
proposed seditlon bill II 80 worded as

teot the nation against the attacks OF
those who would destroy. Even the
partisan press ls loyal to the govern
mont OF the United States. and In
the late war proved It's attitude In
service.
The public while agreeing with the
purpose OF the authors OF the sedition
bills, docs not, we believe, desire to
establish an autooracy OF the post
master general and open the way 10
gross abuses OF power,
Tho extreme partisanship OF the
press will gradually correct Itself
There IL growing tendency To throw
off the strict party ties, for the news

SILVER USED TO BACK
INFLATED CURRENCY

In their monthly circular on the invest
ment situation Knauth Nachod & Kuhne
have the following TO say regarding the
silver and gold situation:-
''In the face OF the basic need for gold,
SO rapidly growing in urgency. production
has been falling Off With the prices of
gold definitely fixed in accordance with
the monetary standard there is left little
margin for stimulating production bylof
setting increased costs
Therefore silver has come to tho front
to bolster up the inflated currency and
otherwise watered capital Of the world.
and to meet the necessity for a largely
increased circulating medium OF exchange.
added to these demands arc those ris-
ing out of the abnormaly large trade
balances with India China and practi-
cally all Of the other Eastern countries
where silver is I'm special favor have
been piling IN against the rest OF the
world. In these countries there has
lately been a great awakening TO the op-
portunties OF closer international rcla-
tionships.
This country has. of course. been the
main source of the silver supply. VIC
exported last year $s39. 100000 silver. much
Of IL in the form of bullion obtained from
melting silver dollars--a process which be-
comes profitable with silver selling over
Sl.29ii an ounce. There are about NNc.Wo.-
COO Of these coins remaining. for the melt
ing and sale OF which additional legisla-
ton is now being sought in view of the
continued demand"

90 PER CENT.
 OF COAL MINERS IN INDIANA IDLE

Indianapolis, Aug. 20-Less than 50 per cent. of the Indiana coal fields worked today.

 Sixteen hundred miners Of the Pike county coal fields in the southern In diana district walked out, causing all mines in the county to close with the exception of two stripping mines.

NEW BELTS ARE MADE OF BEADS
 AND LEATHER

Distinctive models are now being displayed in local stores in leather beltss One is a long narrow girdle of black suede with white pearl buckles placed at intervals and thickly studded along it's entire length with pearl shank buttons. The hang ing ends of the belt are split and weighted with small pearl balls.
 An imported model of tan leather strips connected with tiny barrel shaped wooden beads. is almost un- usual. The beads are colored and show fine designs that have the ap- pearance of being burnt in. The leather is treated in the same way. The fastening is possibly the most remarkable feature-the ends of the leather being sewed to small bars of wood matching the beads and end ing in knobs to prevent the leather from slipping. These are simply thrust through a wooden ring, also co1ored and burnt to match.
 It is worthy of note that a belt of this exact type was seen on a smart, imported sports coat recently brought over by one of the retail shops and displayed in their fall showing.

The crusade for better babies has spread from coast to coast, and taken firm hold of American Mothers. Few women realize how much the ill health of the mother influences the unborn child, both physically and mentally. Women who suffer from mysterious pains, backache, nervous ness, mental depression, headaches. etc, should rely on Lydia E.
