SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY. \PKIL 6, 1916.
The censorship in Europe and Mexico is now getting so close that read
ing about either of the mixups is rather tame. AH we can hope to hear about ]
are results or lack of results. In the old days things were altogether dif
ferent and whole columns would be filled where we cannot now get more than
m
i, line. Even at the time of the Spanish American war and the Boer "ar the
newspapers had lots of lovely slaughter dope every day from their cor
respondents and those correspondents made heroes faster than old Homer
himself.
The real truth probably is that the censorship is easily the best system
not only for the armies but for the whole public. No man "ill invent a hen*
faster than a newspaper reporter who wants to get his name up, and the
consequente very often is that the world has lies sprung on it as quickly as
it can swallov them. It is all right to be able to till up space with stories
of battles. It is quite interesting to read of hussars dashing across a fire
swept valley against an immovable square made up, of course, of your coun
trymen, or of a lot of men cheering just as they are about to die, which is
rather a peculiar performance Under the circumstances, but there is no story
like the one with the “human interest touch" to get the public. Nowadays
a reporter cannot get near enough to the fighting to make people believe he
saw individual acts of heroism and it is too bail. Otherwise we should have
beautiful epic - to read every morning for breakfast—stories of the gallant
Lit utenant Jo-' Bush and how he stood with his back to a tree in the middle
of some bleak desert over which he gazed in vain for the help that never
came while six of the vile foes stood around him and hacked at his noble
person as they fell dead one by one with groans and curses, etc. The fact
that there was a tree in the desert would matter little in a work of the im
agination and most of the things written about are very strongly tinged with
what the writer thinks they ought to be to make them more readable.
The censorship will probably kill war. There is no pleasure in going
to fight the Mexicans if the paper of the home town cannot publish your
heroic actions under fire, especially the time you put seventeen of the greas
ers to fl ght single-handed. The beuniformed youths of the armies ot
Europe can only hope now to hear that they stood trench iite well and did
their duty. Fh< home papers cannot even give their address, much less tell
of what they uid individual h unle-s their performance is great enough to get
them decorations like the Victoria or Iron t ro.^s. it is tikely that it the
British papers had been allowed to tell tales of personal daring ad libitum
every youth in every village would rush to the colors, but what is the use in
going out to wet trenches if no one ever heat's a word about you 0
MILLIONAIRE ON TRIAL
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, March 27.—After man.* j
delays and postponements, William I
Rufus Edwards, millionaire St. Paul j
lumberman, went to trial here today, j
charged ♦with having violated the !
Mann act.
Ada M. Cox, a stenographer who!
once sued Edwards for breach of
promise, is the principal witness
against him. Edwards had secured
several continuances from the feder
al court; once because of his wife*
approaching motherhood, next be-!
cause of his baby’s illness, and final
ly, early this month, because he him- i
self was suffering from nervous pros- |
tration.
Edwards’ counsel planned to at
tack Miss Cox’s character, it was j
said, and has arranged for trans
portation for 25 witnesses from many
places to Chicago.
Miss Cox was a stenographer em-!
ployed in a Chicago coal office. She
declared she was transported to St. j
Paul by Edwards, in 1912, and that
Edwards promised to marry her. She
won a $17,500 verdict in her breach of
promise case.
