FREEDOM OFTHERESS. contemporary Informs as that when the first Imperial (British) presa eon- ferenoe aaaembled In London eleven years ago. Its discussions occupied themselves with the affairs of empire and Its defense in time of war. But when the eeoond Conference met at Ottawa a few daya ago, It spent most of Its time In talking shop.

It was concerned over an assurance of a future supply of news print paper and particularly so over the traditional free dom of the press. Any govsrnmental control over tha dlaaemlnatlon of news or Ideas was distinctly opposed. The conference even refused to make any discrimination between a tlma of war and one of peace. That English language newapapers should stand up for freedom of the praaa la the most natural thing In the world. The sentiment In favor of Individual liberty la probably no stronger anywhere than In England.

No people better understand how these two principles are Indlasolubty linked together. But It must ba confessed that recent years have wltneasad a perceptible tendency to encsoach upon the privileges of the press, both In the British empire and In thla country. An haa developed that the newspaper would be all the better for a little gov. ernmenta regulation. It waa thla ten deney, no doubt, which brought the natter before the Ottawa meeting.

Congrese Is fprblddsn to make any law abridging It Tat we all know that thla doea not secure Immunity. Con grass makes the laws draatte onee, too end the courts uphold them. There seems to be no wsy of safeguarding the freedom of th pros or any other free, dom except through an enlightened pub. Ho opinion.

Nobody can propagate the sentiment for liberty like the news-papers themselves. The British press dof wU to look to Its chartered rights. Senator Harding la still somewhat uncertain about whht he Is for and what be la against except the tariff. The Western Union Telegraph eom-penjr solves Ita labor problem by sharing Its profits with Ita employes.

Before these lines reach the reader, It la entirely probable that the suffrage Issue will be determined one way or the other, so for aa It affeot tha pres. ant eampalgn. Defeat of ratification In Tanneases, In all likelihood, would mean dsfsat In the country until after the next presidential and congressional eleotlons. If the measure shall fall In Tennessee, it will probably also fall In North Carolina.

There would be lit tie upon which to baa hope for favor. able action elsewhere before the election. On the other hand. If Tennessee shall ratify the question will be settled for all time. It would be a worthy dis tinction ror the old volunteer stats, worthily won.

It would ba a flttlna? re. buke for the aepret sinister Interest whloh have determined that the par ticlpatlon of the women In ithla year's oongresslonal elections shall be prs vented at all hasards. It would testify to th world that Tennesseans have no feare that their wives and mothers sre oherlshlng evil deslgna against the safety and welfare of the country. The house assembled at an early hour today for the resumption of the memorable contest. As already Intimated, a decision may aoon be reached.

The atruggle has been a protracted one and tha forces of reaction have halted at nothing to defeat the great reform. Per sonal end party pledges have been east to the winds In response to some malign Influence. In auch olrcumatances, a victory for progress would ba note, worthy Indeed. It would give Tennessee a position of prominence among the states which could be won In no other way. STATES' RIGHTS, The Columbia Herald agrees with Gov.

Hate of England waa aedulouely preached In Germany and brought on the war. It promoted outrage, approved of the rape of Belgium and gloated over the sinking of the Lusltanla. To meet and conquer thl hat of Germany, hat was preached Industriously In England and America. Having got a good start hating during the war we have kept it up alnce, There being no excuse for hating beaten Germany any more, wq have taken up other hate. We have linked hate to patriotism, and made Americanism synonymous with It.

ra i The most vlcloue and of all and the one spread by them that have a claim to be called children of th devlt par excellence, la hate of Great Britain, our natural ally, who fought side by lde with us In the day of universal peril, who ha our own language, tradition and Ideals. Hardly have our troop returned, and we are holding public meeting, presided over by mayors and congressmen, when Great Britain Is denounced as tha tyrant and foe of mankind. And In arms.

TOO? THE DAILY EDITORIAL DIGEST A National and Nonpartisan Summary of Leading Press Opinions on Current Events. AMERICA, JAPAN AND SAQHALIN Whan Japan occupied ths northern part of the Kusalan island of Baghalln recently and duly received a note of prolesb from tha United States, the Mikado's press raised a violent outcry against American interference, which, while it met wlth little sympathy among American writers, nevertheless found a distinguishable echo in some newspapers here. A few editorial writers seem to feel that Washington would better deal with Japanese aggression in California and Hawaii than seek worries In the Orient. The Pittsburgh Press (Ind.) is all for firm pressure agalnat what It considers the "ambitious militarism" of the "Prussia of the Orient." for "any de velopment that forcibly alters existing International boundaries across the Pacific may have serious consequences for the United States." The Press con cludes with the assertion that "If Washington a protest agalnat the Jap anejae occupation of Baghalln is not a determined one it mlsrepreaenta the sentiment Of tne American people. The Baltimore American (Rep.) con aiders that America is disinterested, and "In honesty and good faith" has a duty In preventing steps which might disturb conditions in the Far East regardless of "particular programs of Japan.

it would be a matter of surprise to the Japanese, It adds, aa well as some other powers, "could they enter intimately into the state of political feeling In this country and re- ause now very lime tne American people are' alarmed for themselves over events on the other aide of th world. Th "far-seeing diplomacy" In any effort that will tend to keep Russia Intact until the day when it regains its stability is reoognlxea by th Pitts burgh Dispatch and tha Amerl can note waa written, it believes, "not because of, but in spite of, the soviet government," a step consistent with our "open door policy" In the Orient. The Indianapolis Star (Ind, In harmony with this theory, points out that Japan Is obviously "reaching out for something that may be had for the isKing, ana says: "The northern part of sjathalln does not belong to Japan. Russia may be in no position to aerena its title, but It should not be necessary to make any such defense.

For the first time In aH Its nistory Russia now Is abe to boast a nationalists spirit and it Is certain still further to -manifest Itself against the Mpponese Invasion of Russian territory." The exchanges over the developments that grew out of eventa In the Far Fast are dwarfed, in the sight of the Philadelphia Public Ledger (Ind.) by the storms brewing sround the Golden Gate. Jt says: "Under the circumstances It will not be over th Island of Baghalln or the Siberian mainland that the two coun-trlea will come to grip In diplomatic The dynamite In the relatione between Japan and this country Ilea much nearer home, end haa to do with other things than the expansion of Japanese authority In those Asian countries in which it haa legitimate Interests as the leading Oriental power. And that nothing could be more fatuous for ourselves and Japan to take any other attitude than that of frank and epen dealing with mutual accommodations must be obvtous." From the state of Washington the Tacoma Ledger (Ind.) Justifies what some consider tne meanung oi in United Statea despite her refusal to take over obligations entailed In membership In the lesgue of nations. Because of this. It believes, other powers will hardly support American protests to Japan, and the Mlkado'a people consider "America a long way off." "Nevertheless Americans most familiar with conditions In eastern Siberia wtll Insist thst Japan'a overbearing attitude and her unwarranted Interference In Siberian affairs constitute the most serious obstacle to the return of orderly government In that detached portion of what waa once Russia.

Jspan's statement that her occupation of the Island Is only, tem-perorsy Is not a convincing aa It Is intended to be." Another vole from th west Is mor emphtie. Th Ix Angeles Express (Ind sees a crisis ahead for Japan, for "If International comltv Is not to a mer cloak for rapacity, thla "hands o(T warning to Jatan will hav something more than words behind It." Rut the San Francisco Chronicle find.) se no hope ahead. "Our own government ha been making representations." It eays, "which will prob-ably come to nothing." for Japn knows thst "nothing could Induce th American peorle to go to war about any Asiatic affair." and the "Incident Is merely another bit of evidence that the league Is a humbug Th Chicago Trlbun (Ind Rep), however, confesses to a certain sympathy with th feellr.g expressed bv Nippon's complaint that "America's attitude toward Jaoan is alwaya thai of a challenger." The only Immcdlat reaction we get from Interfering In th Baghalln affair, It adds, la "the Japanese statement that every time Japan gets lu toe outside her door we tep on It And while tp on a to that I digging for a hold In Baghalln island, we allow a boot to be placed on our own Peclflo coast." Th Florida Times-Union (Dera.) little sympathy with the conduct a Washington: I "We should keep hands off In this matter, though hould not make protests unless ar Inclined to back them up. The protest waa unfortunate and It would be atlll more unfortunate to attempt to back It up." The Springfield Union (Rep.) likewise questions the advisability of interference with th east or anywhere until there Is a power built up that could enforce such protest without military aggression. At present "It is doubtful if the allies or vn th United States, which not long ago co-operated with Japan in eastern Siberia with a view to restraining the bolshevik danger, could consistently question the steps of Jspan in taking rather drastic precautions to reduce the Influence of the soviet government In thoir Immediate quarters." Since we allowed Japan to take Shantung, "although our sympathy was with the Chinese," and "although Japan has no defense In law" for Its recent step, the Syracuse Post-Standard (Rep.) asks "why should the United States set Itself up as a policeman THE ATTACK ON MRS.

CATT Editor The News: The anUratlficatlontsts confess that they have no real argument to urge against the ratification of the suffrage amendment by the Tennessee solons. Urging the long ago exploded doctrine of state rights is not argument and can only servo to delay action for a season at best. The foolish attack on Mra. Catt serves to show the extremity of folly they have reached, Neither of the charges ere worthy of attention, though Mrs. Catt has dented the truth of both statements promptly.

In regard to the "Woman's Bible," Mrs. Catt has denied having had any. thing to do about it's revision. But suppose she or any other advocates of suffrage had helped to prepare a re vised edition. It would be no crime or any matter to be ashamed of If any women or committee of women have the education and ability to translate the Hebrew and Greek In which th manscrupts of the Bible were written and wishes to do it, why should any hand or voice be lifted in horror at their doing it, any mora than at the score or more of men who have individually issued relations and revised versions.

It is mere sex prejudice vthlch raises any objection to the "Women's Bible" so called. Nina hundred and ninety nine out Of a thousand persons who would use the work as againBt suffragists do not know a word that is in it and never saw a copy, I well remember the furore which Mrs. Stanton's work produced when it first came out. and the haste with which the American Women's Suffrage association denied, any sympathy with It or responsibility about it. There were In those days many men and women advocates of suffrage who recognized woman's right as an Individual to re vise or translate the Bible if they de.

Women were' not ready for suffrage then, nor ar all women ready now, yet some have entered In and possess the land and othera 'will enter when the door is wide open, and it does not cost any-things they hold dear. Othera have labored and sacrificed; paid all th costs and the women of today have th fruit of their labor, and owe a debt of gratllud to Mrs.

Thy wr headed by th Archbishop of Canterbury, and th great gathsrlng tnoluded representatives of th Anglican church tn thl country, th colonies, India, and America, and from mission Held In all parts of th world.

Th nw ArchMlhop ft Wale wa among them. Th Archbishop of Canterbury read an address In which reTerenc waa made to the postponement of the Lambeth conference owing to th war, and th king waa assured of the earnat desir of th prelate to. further, by very meana in their power, th effort of th civil government to promote echeme of social progress and reform. They wer determined to prevent If possible the recurrence of war, and believed that a league of nations on wis and well-oonsldered lines would conduce to that end. Reference was made to the visits paid by tbelr majestlea to different parte of th empire and to thoae made or being madeby th Prince of Wale.

His majesty replied as follows: "I thank vou most sincerely for your anMraea and for tha assurance Of your good wishes and prayers for the well- being of my house and of all the peoplea of my domlnlona. "I am grateful to you for th reference you have made to th visits that I hav ben privileged to pay to Canada, Australia, New. Zealsnd, South Africa, and my Indian empire, and I am pleased to see so many of you, their archbishop and bishops, here to-day. I trust, with you, that th visit which th Prlnc of Wale has paid to my dominion overseae and to the United States may productive of abundant good. "It Is a great satisfaction to to mast the archbishops and bishops of th Anglican communion who are assembled for the sixth Lambeth conference from all pert of my dominions, from the United States of America, and from mission fields throughout the world.

I am especially glad to have the opportunity of weloomlnr so manv rep. resentatlve from the United States. For the first time since their aenarate history began Britain and the United State stood side bv side on the battle-fields firhtlng for the cause of freedom and right. "It I peculiarly tpnroprlst that the bishops of th two nations should meet to take counsel, and should together apply our common Christianity to the great moral, social and political problems which civilization Is called up to face. I note that this conference fell due to be held two year ago, and that It ha necessarily been postponed till now owlpg to the preoccupations of the war.

We cannot look back over thl Interval without a feeling; of the most profound thankfulness for the mercies of Divine Providence." This Ice Cream is Mighty Good It really has a taste that tickles most any appetite, a taste that rather lifts it out of the general run of ice creams. Of course this, is our secret, the result of long and tety careful investigating. But the secret of the goodness of "The Cream of the Town" ajar atar Is open to everybody. It Is simply that we use generous proportions of the very best materials that money can buy. Out of them we make an ice cream that is rich in food qualities and so delicate that even invalids thrive on it Get the habit, i Eat it every day.
