EXCEL IN SERVICE.
intelligent Application Of the Public
Prese

II have no right, to criticise the pub
lie press" said Stacy Shown, Seattle
business man, when asked what he
thought Of the present day newspaper.
"When buy daily paper, receive
many many times my moneys worth.
For few pennies I may, without
leaving my home, learn Of an insurrec-
ton in Mexico, a new president in
China, baseball game in Los Angeles,
or new appointment in washington,
D. c., and more important than these
events, what has happened in my old
home town within the last six, or even
three hours.
'"Men and women have worked hours
to prepare this paper. 1t is brought to
my doors and am not even asked to
pay the price of the white paper on
which the worlds events are chronicled
for my pleasure.
1.-THE public press is one of the great
est achievements Of civilization. Each
morning for thirty years, as I have
brought In the newspapers, nave
marveled afresh at the wonder Of a
profession that can furnish so great a
service so cheaply.
"Of course, the press is not perfect.
There are many times when it is even
corrupt. But they are becoming few
err each year. We wonder why the
newspaper does not do this or say that.
Instead we should be surprised and
gratified at some of the things it dares
publish in it's columns.
Before you kick, stop a moment
and think what q little way the few
pennies you have given have gone to-
ward paying for the sheet in your
hand.
"And before denouncing the press
entirely, remember how you miss the
paper when the neighbor's dog beats
you to 1t.
There is nothing like the public
press for service. If it doesn't suit
you get behind it and work. Fourth

EGYPT DEMANDS FREEDOM
Continued From Page one,)

don and elsewhere is scarcely a conf
pensation.
There is to be Financial Commits
sioner who must consent to the rals-
ing of external loans, and the alloca-
ton of public revenue, and there will
be a Judicial Commissioner, similarly
appointed, whose function it will be
] to look after the interests of foreign
| ers. The Egyptian criticism is that
these officials would exercise an in
tolerable interference with the ad-
ministration Of Egypt in respect OF
foreign affairs, finance and justice.
| So, of course, they would from the
point of view of absolute self-govern-
ment, just as the existence, of the lord

allegiance and the rights Of the Brit
ish navy is, to the rigid Republic, a;
violation of the. pure word of the re-,
public. The British government, OF
course-and probably most other mod
ern governments-feels a pretty def.
mite mistrust of the capacity of the,
Egyptians to manage finance and JUS
tice efficiently and with integrity. The
record of the old Egypt did not stand
high in that respect. The new Egypt,
part of which has had 40 years train
ing under British rule, may possibly
| be better, but there are enormous for,
eign interests involved and many per-
sons fear the uproar, the protests and
the intrigues that will spring up in
this country and that, If foreign in
terests and lives suffer under the new
regime. And 1t is true that the ex-
periments in democracy which have
been made in such countries as Turk
ey, Persia and China are no more en-
couraging than the record of the rul-
ing Egyptian classes themselves in the
last century.
Nevertheless, England will certainly
have to go further in the way of con-
cessions than she has gone. The
Egyptian people are united as they
have never been before; end even the
Christian Copts and Moslems have
joined hands. Zaghlul, the leader, has
been deported to CeyIon, but the trou-
BILE is now with the people of Egypt,
and a whole people cannot be deport-
ed. Nor can it permanently be kept
down under martial law, especially If
it is willing to consider the special
character of British interests in the
country. The truth is that every
power which has held another people
in subsection is bound to take. some
risk when it gives the desired liberty.
1t is so in Ireland, we see it in India
and it will be so in Egypt. From the
British point Of view we could wish
that Egypt, too, might be willing to
take the position of a dominion with
in the British Empire. That would
simplify much. But the Egyptians are
thinking of liberty and not Of simpli-
flying the troubles of the British En-
pire.

Some Old Pensioners.-The pension
list of the United States contained at
the end of the fiscal year the names
of 566,O53 persons, 243,52O of whom are
veterans OF the Civil war. There are
still 6f pensioners OF the war of 1912,
ell widows of course. One hundred
and nine veterans of the Mexican war
survive, and 2135 widows. 1t is in
teresting TO observe that the last pen
sioner OF the Revolutionary war, a
widow, did not die until 1905, one year
after Hiram Cronk, the last survivor
Of the war Of 1872, died. The last
Revolutionary soldier died in 1869, at
the age. of 109. At that rate there will
be at least one Civil war veteran alive
in 195S.-The Youths Companion.

SISTERS" a photodrama OF great
Significance, has been built by In
ternationai Film Service. This
picture, directed by Albert Capel-
lani, is now being presented at the
Criterion Theater by the American
Releasing Corporation. The story,
written by Katherine Norris,
aroused a heated controversy
when It appeared in Good House
keeping" and in its screen form
will give rise, II is predicted, to
further discussion on the subject
of divorce.
1t Is the advice of one sister to
another that sounds the keynote
OF Sisters This dictum Is:
"You don't try marriage. 1t is a
fact. like the color Of your eyes"
Alix tells this to Cherry, hardly
more than a child, because Cherry
has tired of her hasty marriage
and wishes to be free" She
wants a divorce. but to Alix "di-
vorce is such a cowardly thing.
It's running away from your trou-
bles instead of trying to conquer
them"

A MONG all the plays that the
seriously industrious English
playwright, Henry Arthur Jones.
wrote, there was one that loomed
forth as a very fine piece OF
work. Jones mostly wrote easy
stuff for the delectation OF the
masses, but in one play he forgot
his suburban scruples. This was
a play called Michael and His
Lost Angel" The late Charles
Frohman produced it at the
Empire Theater. and it was pro-
duced that very night in London.
The play failed instantaneously.
There was no comeback. 1t went
to ruin Immediately and was
withdrawn without apology.
Why? 1t was a very good
play. 1t was we'll written, well
located" and a trifle away from
the beaten track. Why did 1t
fail? 1t had a VERY unhappy
ending. The hero, who was
clergyman, had got mixed up in
a love affair with the heroine,
who owned a husband. He was
very much to be deplored. He
had resigned from his congrega-
ton, after confession" in
which he admitted his guilt and
urged his own unworthiness.
Then he went to Italy and met
the heroine. Now, ask you,
would 1t have been decent II
they had married and settled
down? ] ask you would II have
been moral? Henry Arthur Jones
knew that 1t could not have been,
so he carefully killed the heroine,
in a rather narrowing scene, in
which she expires while the
clergyman mourns over her
body.
That settled the play. 1t

failed. How dare any playwright
ask the public to assist at
love story that ended thusly?
Perish the idea of such a false
step. Poor Michael and His
Lost Angel went into the dis
card, and that was that! II Mr..
Jones had been insistent upon
success, he would have seen to
1t that all obstacles were removed.
He might have limited that the
couple had really been respecta-
bly, married. She might have
showed her wedding ring on a
ribbon strung around her neck.
Anything! But to ask folks who
have paid out good money for an
evenings entertainment" to sit
through a death scene was mani
festly absurd.
