AMERICUS CAMP
ENTERS PROTEST
ON LEGISLATURE
PROPOSED MEASURE TO RESTRICT
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

Americas members of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America, through Wash
ington Camp, No. IA, at a recent meet
ing took formal action protesting Wig
orously against the passage of the
amendment to the postoffice appropria-
lions bill as proposed by J. ]. Fitz-
gerald of New York, which would re-
strict the freedom of the press. Let
tiers to this effect have been mailed the
Georgia senators and congressman.
The following letter addressed to
Congressman Charles R. Crisp is a
duplicate of those sent other Georgia
members:
Americas, Ga, Jan. 81, 1915
Hon. Charles R. Crisp, NJ. c., Washing
ton, D. c.
Dear Sir: Washington Camp No. IA.
Patriotic Order Sons of America,
through it's committee on national leg
| islation, desires to file this letter of
protest against the passage of the
amendment to the postoffice appropria-
| ton bill, H. R. 1906; also H. R. 20644,
measures proposed by John J. Fitzger-
aid, NJ. C. from New York. These bills
being directed at the freedom of the
press, same being in direct violation Of
the Constitution of the United States,
which plainly says, Congress shall
pass no law abridging the freedom of
the press"
We wish also to assign the follow
ing reasons in addition to the fore
going;
list. 1t is not in order where offer
ed, being rider to the postoffice ap-
preparation bills.
End. AS stated by Congressman Fin
ley on the floor of the house, The
power that is proposed to be lodged in
the hands of the postmaster general by
these measures should not be lodged in
the hands of any one man in all this
country"
3rd. In the language of Congress
man Finley again, at should not be
left to the decision of any one man and
he an executive officer and appointed
by another man." to say what printed
matter as pertaining to the public
press, shall or shall not pass through
the mails, except as now provided by
the constitution, and decisions of the
supreme court of tie United States.
4th. Because in the freedom of the
press lies the great bulwark of our
liberties and the perpetuation of insti-
tutions peculiarly American.
5th. Because no individual in pri-
vate or public life, or service, or organ
ization as SUCH or political party as
such, either individually or collective
ly, or institution as such, should be
above the wholesome criticism of a
free and untrammeled public press, for
therein lies the betterment of all, as
servants of the people.
Now, therefore, it is urged upon you
by the unanimous adoption of this let
ter of protest by Washington Camp No
IA, p 0. S. of A., representing several
hundred American citizens of this city
and vicinity, that you, and other repre-
sentatives from Georgia, use every
honorable means to defeat the meas,
famed in Chicago society for the grace

PRISONERS or WAR.
Code Of Honor by Which Their Treat
ment Is Governed.

III ancient times prisoners of war
were killed unless. of course, the bel
ligerents found it more profitable to
exchange OF lhcrHte them Cor ransom.
But today nations are bound to one Sin
other By q code Of honor which forbids
inhuuan treatment OF prisoners.
Prisoners are subjected to no pan,
ishment in amy form. Neither must
they be placed in Il convict prison. nl
though they may he detained in u
fortress, camp or town. 4 Reasonable
supply OF nouri%nmenl must he p.ovitl-
ed them by theil cNptors and they are
regarded as being il, The power of the
government Of the cnptor and not I'M
der the control OF those who actually
capture them.
All personal belongings remain in the
custody of the prisoner, but arms
horses and military papers can be con-
iiscated, these constituting booty.
Governments can put their prisoners
of war to work, but only snch work as
accords with the prisoners rank and
capacity; also the work must not be
excessive or relate to military matters.
and in all cases must the labor be paid
for.
A prisoner always lives in hope of
being exchanged for prisoner of his
own government. The exchange is ef-
fected in accordance with agreements,
In which time, place and method of ex-
change are fully detailed. This is gen.
orally that of strict equivalents, man

An officer can obtain greater free
dom of movement or certain privileges
while being prisoner of war if he
makes out Il parole. a written or verbal
promise. An officer giving his parole
pledges his honor to refrain from par
ticular course of conduct. and If he
makes breach of this guarantee he is
liable to the extreme penalty.-Pear-

BORROWING MONEY.
Do Sure Deferred Charges Can Be Met
Before lncurring Them.

One reason why corporations have
not been looked upon with friendly
eyes is the fact thai, they have adopt
ed financing methods of which we
cont approve.
You and have been tat,"ht to be
lioye that we'd better DO without ~
thing unless we have the money to pay
for it. To us that seems to he safe
ara San" thrift doctrine.
But when corporations became M
merous thrl aJolA~d another PLAN
Th:.s dte'';.''v &C mt e WIT n"ntil they
could pay for what they wanted ii
they could borrow money with which
to make the purchase. They began
to load upon themselves deferred
charges"
Certain charges Of this kind, of
course. are justified; when it can be
proved without the shadow of doubt
that what will be earned by borrowed
money is more than the cost of the
loan. borrowing is justified. But not
otherwise.
So intelligent thrift practice in the
home and the family can be measured
by the same test. If you're going into
debt to buy home you should be able
to demonstrate mathema tically by Dor
rowing money to buy Il home you will
in the end save more in rent than the
cost Of the land and house, repairs and
taxes and insurance.
You have no business to place any
deferred charge upon your individ-
ual resources or those of your family
that those who come after YOU will not
cheerfully pay because they recognize
that II is just charge. The test ought
to be:
IF ! should die tomorrow would
my heirs prefer to go ON meeting these
charges rather than allow them to
be defauted?" 1t is when he answer
Of either the individual or a new board
of corporation directors is in the mega
tive that we sec the unwist!om of
much borrowing in anticipation of ben

much experience you will know that it
