Rathom, Providence Journal. At a luncheon in connection with the meeting. President Frank B. Noyes of the Washington Star, proposed a toast to President Wilson, saying: "in offering a toast, the formal wish for 'health,' is usually of little signifi cance. With us this year in the only toast it is our custom to offer, the case is profoundly different for, very earnestly, very hopefully and very sin cerely we drink to the health, the full restored health of the president of the United States. "livery season of the year is an open season for the critics of the Asso ciated Press," said Mr. Noyes, begin ning' his address.

Truthful Record Sole Aim. "Every newspaper man, every in formed person, knows how prepos terously untrue these charges are whoever may make them. To you I need not explain that our very or ganization was in response to the de mand of the newspapers that their nows service should be owned and controlled by themselves and them eolvcs alone, tbat it should be their servant and not their master, that it should give an adequate and truth ful record of the world's happenings, free from bias and from opinion or propaganda. - While laying no claUu to inerrancy, our service has been singularly successful in attaining the objocts we ought and the line 'By Associated. Press' has become a hall mark of accuracy, whether the event recorded is the election of a president, the signing of an armistice, a decision of the supreme court or the death of the pope. . . . "While at all times this open sea Bon continues, every four years comes a special period of tribulation. When the presidential campaign rolls around every candidate for the nom ination and the resulting presidential candidates and every manager of every such candidate finds clear evi dence in our reports of bias against every candidate mentioned until after the election and then all agree that the Associated Press has been conspicuously fair. This has been our experience in the past and there is every indication that the present campaign will be no exception. . Tio Boost 'or Anybody. "I say for this, for there is a meas ure of truth in the charge, for on the theory that 'he who is not for us is against us,' the Associated Press is against every candidate, for it sure ly is not for any one of them." Mr. Noyes explained that while every one of the candidates will have the supi'ji " individual members, the Asso . : ' s will continue se renely i hs to the outcome of the conventions and election. - Itself with sup plying its .. . s with the news as it happens, playing no favorites and punishing no enemies. "The report of the Associated Press does not grow or simply come into being without effort," continued Mr. Noyes. "Every line, every word, is the product of an individual worker of whom hundreds toil and adventure dally to supply a fair picture of the world's happenings, every one of you know that at uottom these charges of bias are charges against, our anonymous workers, who, if we are betrayed, are the betrayers; who, if these charges are true, are recreant to the trust we have placed in them.

Most small retailers do not fully realize the cost to them of slow-selling: goods. "Turnover" and "overhead" are vagoie terms to the very man whose shelves are filled with lodgers.' This is not true of the big stores. Quick turn over is probably seen in its perfection in Boston, where building restrictions have forced on the stores the intense cultivation of floor space. Goods in active demand "turn" fast. Goods advertised into popular demand make possible a rapid Sell, Reorder, and Sell with the minimum interest cost for "carrying charges."

Five and a half million people in the United States cannot even read end write the English language. Who is to carry forward this vast work of Americanization if the Church does not? For Hospitals and Homes. Every year thousands of men end women seriously ill are turned away from Church hospitals because of laejc of room. The children's homes are compelled to tarn away more children than they can receive. For Religious Training. At least 12,000,000 children nd young people under 25 years of age are enteringAmeri can life without any religious training at all. Remembering the faith of Washington and Lincoln, do yon think that America will continue to produce , Washington and Lin col ns if Faith dies out of the hearts of its youth?

FOR THB CHURCH'S WORK ABROAD. Influenza came first from the Orient thirty years ago; nearly all plagues are Oriental plagues.
