GIVE us A CENSORSHIP.


Unless some serious steps are taken to
secure the censorship of our home press
there is certain to be trouble very soon.
Not all postal officials are as watchful
which gave them their appointments as
is the head of the San Francisco postof-
fee, who seems to have established CEN
sorship department of his own, and
promptly throws out such papers as con-
tain what in his official Judgment IS
reasonable. Indeed, with the incite
ments to reasonable language which are
being given by returned volunteers and
others familiar with the situation over
In the China sea, even a truly loyal i'm
perialist sheet is liable any day to be
deceived into publishing reasonable mat
ter.
Since the precedent has been establish
ed of excluding all matter from the mail
which may lend aid and encouragement
to Aguinaldo and his friends. 1t would
save much trouble If an arrangement
could be made whereby, for instance. all
interviews, speeches and editorial express
sions of opinion would be submitted be-
forehand to the authorities of the war or
navy, or state, or postoff1ce department.
1t would not matter just what department
was invested with the duties of censor
ship. so long only as the officials charged
with the work were competent to dis
tinguish treason to the flag when they
saw it in print. Unless something Of
this kind is determined on it would be
proper for the executive to issue at inter
walls detailed statements specifying just
the extent to which editors and politicians
and recently discharged soldiers may
go in their criticism of the ad-
ministration without rendering them
selves amenable to prosecution for
treason with the resulting consequences
Of confscation Of property and civil
rights
1t is not altogether just even in a
state Of war, that well-meaning editors
N'AN PNSiAoAAOASI especially IL IH6y are IN
pertalistic in politics, should be rendered
liable to have their publications refused
transmission through the mails. OF
course it would be idle to extend any
such consideration to publications whose
political tendencies are nnown to be trea-
sonable. But in view of the retention
Of Gen. Otis in command at Manila, and
of the resulting proIongation of the war.
at least until we are fairly embarked
In the forthcoming presidential campaign,
something should certainly be done.
What serious embarrassment 1t would
be to our imperialist contemporaries in
case they felt called on to publish. for in
stance, an unduly incendiary speech by
any of such established traitors as Will
lam Jennings Bryan, Senator Hoar, or
that abandoned Scotehman Andrew Car

more. of the privilege of reading the ia

Some Inside History of Retirement
of Mr.. AIger.
CHICAGO, July pa Washington spe-
cial says:
cit has developed that Gov. Roosevelt
wrote letter to cabinet officer, short
time ago, urging the retirement of Gen.
Alger, that Gen. Otis be relieved of his
command in the Philippines and that Gen.
Brooke should be succeeded as military
governor of Cuba by Gen. Leonard Wood.
The governor was unusually severe IN his
criticisms of the war department, and in
sisted that the administration could not
afford to be held responsible for Gen.
Alger, nor to continue the dilly-dally
plan Of operations in the Philippines.
The letter was shown to the president
by the cabinet officer in question. 1t is
believed it had a great deal to do with
the presidents decision to request Gen.
Alger to retire. Soon after the contents
Of the letter were made known to the
President Gov. Roosevelt was called to
Washington for consultation with the
president"

ranks of one or the other of the leading
families referred to is naturally too busy
to give it's thought seriously to re-estab-
fishing the old and time-honored methods
of conducting public affairs. But since
the present executive is not a candidate
for reelection, it ought in all reason to be
suggested to him by his utilization with
the grand old party of law and order
and morality, that he might, without any
grievous invasion Of individual rights,
take it upon himself to be represented
through the militia of the state in the
grand shotgun tournament which the
world is informed is to be held in the
state of Kentucky at an early day.

Some time ago an officer while en-
deavoring to stop a bicycle rider who
was riding down Payne avenue at rath-
er a rapid rate rushed out and thrust
his club between the spokes Of the BIZ
cycle, throwing the rider some fifteen
feet in the air and seriously injuring
him.
Such an action on the part of a police
man is unlawful, and, had the fan OF
the rider resulted in his death, can
there be any doubt that the officer would
have been guilty of murder?

German and Japanese Merchants
Still Furnishing Them.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-According to
verbal reports to the officials of the
navy department from officers re-
turning from the Philippines, Aguinaldo
continues to get war supplies through
German merchants in Hong Kong and
Japanese merchants in Yokohama, al
though our consuls have been directed
to keep a sharp lookout for f1libustering.
In more than one instance British Of
fcers have aided the United States in
preventing the shipment of arms from
Hong Kong, but officers just returned say
there is no doubt the temptation offered
by Aguinaldos high prices has induced
merchants to violate the neutrality laws
and try to force the imperfect blockade.
Twelve Spanish gunboats recently put
on blockade duty have done remarkably
good service in cutting off supplies be-
tween different islands. Last mail re-
ports said they had captured sixteen diff
ferent cargoes of supplies, but not any
valuable munitions Of war.

criminal assault. According to this
story the mob killed an innocent man.
and 1t further appears that there was no
criminal assault nor attempt to assault,
as at first given out. The facts about a
negro having entered the house Of the
Corley family were spread about in the
neighborhood, and they became distort-

mouth. The negro Hayes bore a bad
reputation in the vicinity, and some
body suggested him as the probable Gull
