can assume that tho United States
forces would calmly stand still and
Jet American lives be sacrificed and
American property destroyed.
IL is therefore in the nature of a
Welding to the inevitable that Presi.
dent Gomez gives this consent. II Is,
TO be sure. orite amiable in him to do
this, and il is good stroke Of policy
also. in view OF his weakness a. com.
pared with the formidable nature of
the revolt
II is evident from this friendly
course OF President Gomez that there
is not going 20 be auv trouble be.

Government OF the United states.
They will act in complete harmony
and in cooperation in the work neces-

Dromptness and sense in giving his
consent to what is evidently necessary
10 be done.

CENSORSHIP AND DECENOY.

In different countries censorships art
established for various reasons. II
time of war it is often imposed, where
1t is deemed necessary to prevent i'm
Dortant information from falling into
the hands of the enemy. But in thi.
country, in time Of peace, censorships
are merely the demands OF public sen
timent In the interest Of public policy
and common decency.
Outraged by that journalistic deeen.
eracy which revels In the suggestive
and sensational, which carries into
peaceful homes the gruesome details of
| executions, caters to morbid appetites
and holds up to impressionable youth
demoralizing standards of heroism,
people are everywhere demanding a
strict censorship Of such reports; and
such is the intent of Utah S law on
the subject of executions. Some
times there is no LEGAL way to support
such a demand in this land of free
speech, where blackguards are able to
claim privileges which they grossly
abuse. But the public, whose BOYS and
girls are old enough to read and under
stand, has it within its power to re-
buke such disregard Of its wishes and
interests.
Censorships are demanded for NOV
ing pictures, for questionable dances
and entertainments, for plays and
songs and books, for advertisements
and To- Ta1, Aata Id
hanginSs which shock the moral sensi-
blities of the reading public. Occa.
sionally these demands are crystalized
into laws. The law of libel, the law
which excludes obscene publications
from the mails, the law against indie
cent pictures, the law forbidding inde-
cent language in public, all are an
swers to such demands Of the better
sentiments. 1t has been found neces-
sary in these and similar cases To en-.
act stringent laws providing severe
penalties 10 curb the evil influence OF
those who defy public opinion, ignore
common decency, mako license OF their
liberty, and boast that they are not 20
be censored.
Under such circumstances n boast OF
that kind Is threat OF indecency. The
author who announces that his work is
unexpurgsted generally has not merit
on which TO advertise il, and depends
on depravlty for its sale. The picture
show which announces uncensored pic
tures may draw q certain class OF pat
ronage, but II also draws upon il the
merited contempt of others. The per
forInsnce which escapes and dedes
censorship is not q credit to tho stage.
And so II is in Journalism.
For common decenev is the same In
one field of human activity as in an.
other, The requirements of morality
are the same In q newspaper Office as
IN the Government mails. And the need
OF censorship exists where IL is deded
and constitutional freedom is abused.

PRESIDENT TAFT's PURPOSE.

independence Of the judiciary He
! treats OF these subjects briefly under
| various sub-tities and does il satisfac-
torilv and well lie declares il deslr-
able 'to lower duties as far as posi-
bic consistent with the protective prin-
ciple,' this equalization being along
the lines of "the imposition of such
duties "a Will cqualize the difference
between cost of production at home
and abroad - That general principle
has been repeatedly stated in Repub-
lican platforms and authorized declar-
ations. 1t is the foundation principle
Of protection, and when we add that
this principle is not rightly applicable
save as tho facts and conditions of
each separate form Of industry and
protection are shown, tho whole case Is
stated.
The President proclaims that the fos.
tering of prosperity is a high duty Of
the party and OF the administration.
He sets forth what he has done to
bring about real conditions Of prosper
ity, and insists especially under this
head upon the Importance Of the M
tional Chamber Of Commerce which he
has proposed and which "shall meet
in Washington and give to the govern
mental officers the benefit of their ripe
experience in business, that we may
get from the men who know the things
that ought to be done or ought not to
be done in the interests of business. -
He meets the anti trust criticism fair
" and sauarely, and proclaims it as
his bounden duty to enforce the anti
trust law reasonably and fairly, be-
cause the law is meant to be enforced,
and because It's enforcement will bring
about better business conditions.
In defense of peace, the President
recites the acts Of his administration
in the general arbitration treaty and
in the policies that he has pursued
with Nicaragua, Honduras, Santo Do
ningo, and Central American States
generally. In every instance there has
been an effort at friendly cooperation
md helpfulness.
The President holds that the menace

resident thus makes, and one In
which he Is entitled to take just pride,
