To Halt
Human Sacrifice
PrecipitateS Riot

Simlit, India, June l4.-A gov
ernment report or the riot which
took place recently in the village
of Siroki in the Rajputana agency,
states it was caused by the offer
ing of human sacrifice. During
the disorder seven persons were
killed and ten were wounded.
The village which is the home
of many members of the ancient
sect of Charays, became greatly ex-
cited over the refusal of the Cha
rays to pay usual revenue contri-
buttons. Sepoys were sent to en-
force collection, the report says,
and found the Charays had follow
ed traditional methods of bringing
the vengeance if Heaven upon the
state by burning an old woman
alive. An attempt to rescue the
woman resulted in a fight.

roo MUCH THANK You"


We honestly believe that in the
matter of doing things for a mere
thank you" the weekly newspapers
Of this country hold the record.
We say it with no desire to dis
criminate. for we believe people are
no different from those to be found
elswhere, but we feel than on re-
Election they will agree 1t is true,
that for the number of favors rem
dered no other institution is as
poorly paid as the newspaper. The
church has bazaar, the school has
concert. a club brings a paid
speaker or musician to town and
does so to make money. and yet in
almost every instance the newspap
er Is called on to announce the date,
boost the attraction, get out the
crowd and then be satisfied with q
FREQ ticket. And often, very often
the promoters overlook even the
free ticket.
1t Is hard for some people to un-
derstand that about all newspap
er has to sell is It's space, or at least
that part of its space not devoted
to actual news happenings. If it
gives away its space where is 1t to
get money .or more white paper,
more ink, more type-for type

things that 1t is forced to pay ont
good money for. They would not

money; give us some of your goods
to sell that night" Yet they say to
the editor, I'VE are holding a ba-
zaar, give us your advertising space
SO we can get crowd that will
spend its money And yet there
Is no difference.
The newspapers are here to boost
every worthy. instituton-and this
one expects to keep doing it. But
we would get-down on our knees

railway itself with it's elevated
