| SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT

About two months ago The Capital
Times decided 10 conduct iii expert
ment in this community. We decided
to eliminate screaming headlines and
"scareheads" from this newspaper and
remove those evidences of sensational
ism and hysteria which fastened them
selves on the American press during
the war.
Justification for the sensational
headline in the American newspaper
has, always been made by the newSpa
pers who indulge in this practice by
the claim that it is necessary ito give
the people what they want 1t has
been the practice TO shift the blame
from the shoulders of the editor to
those of the subscribers by saying that
people insist on buying the papers with
the screeching headlines.
The Capital Times believes that il
has demonstrated. To its own SatiSfac
ton at least that this alibi on the
part OF the American editor is untrue.
We believe that our experience of the
last two months shows that. after all
the American people want newSpa
per whose front page does not partalic
of the character of Il st. Nitus dance
and that they want a paper that seeks
lishment and without pumping into
the news things that are not there

was dressed in a smart and neatly
fitting suit of dark blue, with lacey
white at her throat and at her wrists i;
she wore hat of dark blue relieved
by a touch of white. In one Of her
strong and well-shaped, gloved hands
she carried a travelling bag Of black
leather.

boots and corduroys FASTENED to her.
He raised his broad-rimmed hat.

hand as though he was very glad to
see her.
"Bill Dale!'' she cried joyously above
the roar of the passing train. "Bill
Dale, it's your
"Sure, it's me" laughed Dale. How
good you look! I can hardly believe
it's YOU"
"But it u.s." she smiled. "Tell me !:
what do you think the outcome o. your
trial is going to be?''
Dale noted that her English had inn
proved, and it was gratifying to him.
AS for the trial
II don't know" he said But Ma

His voice was hardly businesslike,
but it lacked original fire. Elizabeth
Littleford closed the book in her lap,
and lifted her clear brown eyes to his
eager face.
No she disagreed, "all ain't-isn't

still wanted her-if he would agree
to help her people. After all, il wasn't
so much to give. What was one poor
little, unhappy human life?
1t was late, that night. when Elz-
ubeth Lttleford went to sleep. And
when at last she slept, she dreamed OF
walking through fragrant green
meadow with Bill Dale. There was
the low humming of wild bees about
the purple crowns of the irOnweed end
the scarlet bloom Of the clover; there
was the mating call of the partridge,
and the Iovelorn coo Of dove. .
