SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The Woman Thou Gavest
The Bee has reconsidered its publication
and will withdraw it from its list of features.
Me"
It is the aim and purpose of The Bee to he ahove all a home paper for every mem
ber of tho household. Receipt of the subjoined letter, and further inquiry revealiug
the fact that while other works of Hall Caine aro in the Public Library, this one, al
though already published in a standard magazine and several well known newspapers,
has been rejected as of questionable moral influence, has led us to rescind our arrange
ment to print it in The Bee.
We do this, not because of any threatened boycott (which wo know full well
would only whet public appetite, as Father Williams says, and stimulate our sales), but
because wo want The Bee to have the permanent confidence of the community and re
tain its right to be admitted to overy home by those most careful as to what is read in
their family circle.
Father Williams Letter:
Omaha, December 30. To the Editor of The
Bee: The enclosed anonymous note came to me
In tho mall this morning. I send It to you for
your consideration; not because I think anony
mous letters should ever receive very serious con
sideration, but that you may yourself consider If
there Is any force In the subject matter worthy of
your consideration. I have not read Hall Calne's
book, to which the writer refers, I know it is on
sale In our book stores, and that any advertised
opposition would only tend to extend its circula
tion. Of course, the method suggested ot boy
cotting Tho Bee Is too childish to weigh with any
sensible person. But if there is anything in the
assertion that its publication in The Bee as a
serial would be dangerous to the morals of our
young girls, you would bo as far from countenanc
ing Its publication as anyone. I have always found
The Bee as considerate of the morals of the
families among whom It circulates as any dally
paper I ever read. JONN WILLIAMS,
St. Barnabas Rectory.
