Certainly newspapers should not pub ish i iu.i init hnt i incitinir riot. bay two articles mat unuc articles are published, one in a newspaper opposed to the ideas ot tertain people who subsequently indulge in a riot, and another in si newspaper supporting the first violently abusive of trie a.

a ohniii nf the other side. potential rioters, me muu who shall sav which of these incited the riot? Again, say a strike is in progress and a newspaper publishes an article maintaining he justice of the demands of the strikers and so pictures what it conceives to be the wrongs done them that they get worked up about it and a riot follows, can the newspaper be said to have incited the riot? It might well be that in no one of the three cases suggested was there the slightest intention of inciting riot, or it might be that such intention was present in the first case orly that in which, of them all, it is most certain that no suspension would take place. Our point is that anything in tha shape of criticism, whether of one side or the other, uttered at a time of public excitement, might incite riot, or be among the causes thereof, and that the only safe course for a newspaper in a state under the disadvantage of such a law would be to maintain absolute silence, to abnegate, in fact, one of its supreme duties as a newspaper. For in Colorado a newspaper in such circumstances is to have no rights whatever. There will be no trial by jury.

The governor may suspend at pleasure if in his view the newspaper has incited riot. The United States is usually regarded as a free country, but if such laws may be placed on the statute books of one or more states, if the great bulwark of the liberty of the community, the freedom of the press, the battle for wmch was won more than a hundred years ago by John Wilkes, us to be destroyed, the other rights of a free people will not long remain uninvaded.

When one listens to statements lilts the ones made at the meeting referred to, and then see the same conditions as are here. In places where the supposed remedy is already in force, what encouragement has any one over two years old to support any party that issues such bunk. If these people could point to (juebee, tmtario, or New York state, or any other place where a good portion of the people are on the land land white lubor at that, another fakeJ plank) and say "see how much better conditions are there than here," then we could swallow it.

Cassell Tablets that 1 don't know how to praise them enoush.

1 am quite sure thev saved the life of my little baby. So says Kniiiifl NIartin, a happy vountf" mother. residinK at 26 Kdward street, Hessle, Hull, K.nnland. And she Koes on: "Baby was only a few weeks old, poor little Strl. when she fell ill.

and nothing that we could do for her was of the slightest use. For months, she was under treatment, and had ever so manv bottles of medicine, but she onlv R(it worso. Nothing would remain on lier stomach, she was Just wasting away for wnt of nourishment. We had nil sorts of infants' foods for her. but It' was always the same; poor little could do nothing with them.

We did persevere. 1 am sure 1 did everything 1 could, but all the time my child was (jetting thinner and thinner till she seemed Just skin and bone. She looked like a little shrlvelled up old woman. At last we lost hope altonether, and quite made up our minds that baby cduld never recover.

F.verybody who saw her thouaht the same. She was positively dyins of starvation, poor little for no food at all agreed with her. "That was the position when my sisler sent me one of Dr. Cassell's hooks, and in it was the story of a babv cure when dire seemed hopeless. I got Dr.

Cassell's Tablets at once, and after a dose or two my child could retain food. oh! hciw glad I wa.s. From that time it was Just wonderful how she improved. She grew bigger and bonnier everyday, till now, at thirteen months old, she is Just a little picture of health, as well as any baby could possibly be. I know It Is all due to Dr.

Cassell's Tablets, and I shall never cease to praise that health giving preparation." What wonder that mothers are so to Certify STOMACH TROUBLE So bad they thought it was hopeless "I am sure I can never sufficiently praise Dr. Cassell's Tablets: they were the means of suviiiB my baby's life."

He was very restless, and hardly (rut anv sleep. We were constantly in fear that babv would die when we were not watching. We had sat up with him ail one night, when next day. by a lucky chance we read about Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and at once sent for some.

1770. P. O. Box i to contract them into such a small space that they could no longer move freely, and when the water ran out at the extreme of the ebb, tons of fish were left dead in heaps. Sanitary measures had to be taken to prevent an epidemic, and for some time afterwards nobody in Nanaimo seemed to care very much for fish as an article of food The disaster to the shoal, however, seemed to have no effect on the number of fish still at large in the harbor.

For many years that plethora prevailed, it being possible in the season to go out in a boat and scoop them in out of the water with an implement not unlike a garden rake. The herring, however, are not likely again to create any problems for Nanaimo. They are not there to create them. Some few fish come in still, but the great shoals have disappeared It is hardly credible, but it is a fact that they were destroyed by people who used the fish to make fertilizer, and who dragged their great nets over the spawning grounds, and in every way possible ruthlessly exploited what ought to be still a magnificent natural resource. While, however, the fish have left Nanaimo, they are to be found in other harhors.

Unfortunately, they appear to have been followed by their enemies, as the following letter, received from Irvine's Landing, Pender Ilarbor, shows: "The destruction of the herring fishery in this harbor proceeds apace. Nine Japanese boats with 1300 fathoms of nets have been working for days in a space of a little more than a square mile and pretty well cleared all the fish out. Many tons have been taken, salted and dispatched to Seattle. Every device for their capture have been adopted in defiance of the fishing regulations, purse nets and seines being freely used and inuumerable small fish destroyed. The attention of the Fishery Inspector has been repeatedly called to the fact, but the highly intelligent and effective officer who represents the government on this part of the coast is not equal to the task of catching the offenders.

He makes his appearance in the daytime only, and gives ample warning of his approach. He reminds one of a detective who tries to catch a burglar at noontide. "The destruction of the herring in this harbor will reduce the unfortunate fishermen here to a state of destitution, as it is well known that the salmon and cod follow the herring. The fish are now full of spawn and the place they are taken from is a favorite spawning ground." We do not know that we have anything to add to the indictment contained in this simple statement of facts. We can but invite the attention of the Dominion government to the state of affairs disclosed in the hope that something may be done to effect a remedy.

"Young Earnest the Romance of a Bad Start in Life," is the title of a story by Gilbert Cannon, author of "Old Mole" and "Round the Corner." The story covers many interesting scenes takes you to London and gives you vivid pictures of life and character and is altogether a book well worth reading. It does not aim too high and so succeeds.

Hitherto aircraft have failed signally through the dropping of bombs or the discharge of specially constructed rifles to inflict material damage of military consequence on the enemy. German use of them as weapons of destruction rather leads to the conclusion that the Germans had despaired of making them useful in legitimate warfare except as scouts and had decided to employ them otherwise simply to terrorize unfortified and noncombatant communities for the sake of the political and moral effect. The recent raid by aeroplanes, Zeppelins or both on the county of Norfolk, Kngland, is in the matter of objective in striking contrast to this latest British exploit or, in fact, to other much less successful British air raids, like the one on Cuxhaven. From every point of view the dropping of bombs at night on sleeping villages differs from an attack on fortified submarine stations.

Success in the later instance will greatly raise the dignity of the aeroplane in warfare and rob the Germans of their boasted pre eminence a3 air fighters, besides setting them an example in legitimate use of a new military weapon New York Tribune.

Coats should be shapely and of moderate length, more shapely than the Chesterfield, to be vented to the waistline when made of coarse fabrics and either fly front or double breasted."

Taylor The spectacle of the hardships and sufferings of the German people under the conditions brought upon them by the war would be as painful to us as to any nation on earth, but the Germans should remerber that we have not caused those conditions, nor can we remove them. It would be well for them to take thought about the probable effect upon the English mind of their surprisingly frank admissions of the straits to which they have been brought.

If they confess to shortage of food, to far from relaxing the pressure England will almost certainly increase it It is the f.rst ign of exhaustion, the expected and earliest sign of the proximate ending of the war. Englishmen will argue that it would be inhuman to permit Germany to get the food supplies she urgently needs. That would prolong the war, it would Oondemn hundreds of thousands of Germans, Frenchmen, Russians and Englishmen to death on the battlefield or in the hospital, without one iota of gain to anybody. If the stock of provisions in Germany is near ing exhaustion, then unquestionably the war is ncaring its end. The numbers of troops in the field, their bravery and the sufficiency of war munitions cannot make up for the shortage of food.
