dom, however, is hedged about with strict laws which forbid under heavy penalty, printing of vast number of items, even as paid advertisements.
 An unscrpulous editor can do irrepairable damage to an indi- vidual; he can influence the character and reputation of the town. A good newspaper must use only proven facts without coloring or slanting any situa- tion.
 In a smaller community such as Seward, one hears many sto- ries on the street that gain mo- mentum by word of mouth repi- tition. By retelling a rumor, even if only to correct it, the story is given credence, because with many people Eff you read it in the newspaper, it must be so." Such stories have been run down by reporters time and again and found to be without truth or not newsworthy, yet, the paper is criticized for ig- noring the story. It has even, on occasion. been accused of being afraid" Of what, we do not know.
 That the San Francisco press refrained from all mention of a hot story like that of last week, depriving themselves of the much coveted scoop that it would have been, is indeed a fine example of integrity of the industry, and reflects upon every paper in the country.

ENCHANTED SILENCE

You bade me to be still. No thing could stiller then have been than 1. Into a silence more abysmal than hell I went unfaltering. A shaded gfenn Submerged in primeval wood land, there I found: No sound No breath of wind, to hear or feel. I felt wonder in me rise. Could this be real Or was it I was make believe? And then I heard it, Quieter than smallest leaf In softest breeze; the drifting fall Of loosened feather; stiller yet Than blooming flower I knew in that still, wrapt, en- chanted hour Why you had bade me into si- lence go For there, within Gods hallow- ed bounds 1 heard Love grow.

SEA CALLS

SEA CALLS A song from the west wind A song from the sea, Came drifting on grey fog Came calling for me. So I put away my dull books When 1 heard the sea call, A drab life in cities I left them all. Now I see the arched wings Of sea gulls as they fly; The blue touch to white clouds In the quiet sky. And winds whip the wide sails Faded and torn; With naught but the tapping
 waves To wake me in the morn. The bent sail, and white clouds Sea gulls on the wing, The green waves and salt spray Make a perfect thing.
