Deep and shadowy sunset falls—
O'er the old and crumbling walls;
Fading, fading, ever fading,
Clouds thru golden glory wading;
Slowly, slowly, piling higher,
Dying out in crimson fire.

Creepy shades of evening calling;
Gold and crimson shadows falling

Thus the golden sunset falls.

A scandal in the family has blasted Doug Fairbanks’
presidential boom.
Numerous Democrats object to following Woodrow

Another of the evils growing out of the war is that
Congress cannot adjourn.

Summer zephyrs are blowing in
A n d it makes a fellow lazy,
Sadie is out with a brand new frock
A n d looks quite swell and daisy;
Naughty weeds are coming up,
I t ’ll soon be time for hoeing,
And dandelion spawns
On the lawns
Starts the women mowing.
The kids are restless— fussy like,
School interest it is dimming,
So speed on good old days
W h en its bully swimming;
A bath tub never interests boys
A n d there are a score or thirty
W ho by their looks
A n d study books

(Portland Journal)
A bill before the New York legis
lature provides a heavy penalty for
those who knowingly furnish news
papers with false information for
publication.
The bill hits at the root of what
some people believe is wilful news
paper misrepresentation.
Papers
are frequtntly criticized for errors
and there are people who declare
"that they don’t believe anything
they read in the papers."
The public generally fails to re
alize that editors are compelled to
separate the true from the false in
a very few minutes. They are call
ed upon to pass on scores of articles
in a short Ume because of the very
great element of speed in the news
world. And they are forced to pass
judgment on news which in prac
tically every instance comes from an
outside source.
Papers do not manufacture news.
The source is with men who are do
ing things. They are authority for
the article, and if incorrect informa
tion is given reporters, unless on its
face it is questionable, there is little
opportunity for investigation. It is
the dispenser of news that makes
the error, not the newspaper which
attempts to give the public all the
news within a few minutes after its
appearance.
On the other hand, it is marvel
ous that so few errors are made, so
few facts questioned. Hundreds up
on hundreds of stories are printed
without an error. Seldom it is that
in all the quotations, and in all the
presentations of various facts, that
the newspaper is incorrect A sur
prisingly low percentage of errors
is found, even though the newspa
per, like every other establishment
must depend on the human element.
There are papers that make little
effort to find the.truth. There are pa-’
pers that distort facts and color the
news to suit the own purposes. But
the great body of respectable and
conservative newspapers in America
make every effort possible to supply
the news without addition or sub
traction, without interpretation or
taint.
The New York bill w ill aid those
papers in combatting those who dis
seminate false misinformation.

The whole town is worried about

He is a fascinating man just ap
proaching the forties, a man of good

drab little field-mouse of a wife.
She is a widow, young and love

The whole town is worrying about
