Liberty and Liberty

The inspiration, which yielded to the publishers of The Chicago Tribune and The Daily News (Manhattan) the name of their weekly--"A weekly periodical for everyone"--Liberty (TIME, May 19), seems to have been at work before. It was pointed out that there is another magazine of the same name, a quarterly Liberty--"a magazine of religious freedom"--published at Washington, D. C. The religious Liberty, moreover, was founded much earlier than the mundane Liberty. It was entered as second class matter in the Post Office as early as 1906 and is now publishing its 19th volume. Moreover, the religious Liberty secured its name, not from George A. Elwell of Youngstown, Ohio, but from the book of Leviticus, which said (25 :10) : "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."
