NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Feb. 2--To the
Editor OF The Bee: Referring to Hon.
James Pontius' article on free press in
The Bee letter boa. am going to pay
my tribute to him II you will permit me
to do SO. AS an editor he is of the class
that deserves to be held up above the
type Of editors who are tied hand and
foot by a crowd who would destroy the
heart of our grand old nation il they
had the least opportunity. and that heart
is FREQ press and speech. When this Is
mu1sled you have taken the backbone
out Of our constitution and there are
hundreds who are doing their mightiest
to attain that result. and furthermore.
any individual who favors the suppress
sion OF free press and free speech In
bounds Of civil law does not show one
ounce of American patriotism and should
be deported to Old Mexico, Spain or some
other seaport where the speech and
press IL muzsied. Then you would hear
him howl like Nebraska coyote. The
press and speech are muxzled to some
extent here. but thank God. we have
with us a few editors that stand out be.

old U. 8. A." and make their views plain.
and their views are as truthful. as sure
as the Missouri river Ii muddy.
II we HAD more editors like James Pom
titus and less OF the type that hands out

you would see a cleaner country in pol
itics and all other things. Such unpatriot-
ism as Metcalfe displays would put us
back In the dark agee, and also bring
about the same results when our fore

OVER
REVENUE BILL
DEMOCRATS HOLD ANOTHER
CAUCUS TONIGHT ON THE
STAMP TAX

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, August 14.-Senate
Democrats caucus again tonight to
further consider the finance commit
tees amendments to the revenue bill,
including the wine and stamp sec
tions. The Democrats agreed yester-
day the license on stock of corpora
tions would yield about $20,000,000,
the elimination of the most objec-
tionable stamp taxes, and approved
the amendment to the munitions sec
tion, reducing the net profit tax on
the manufacture of materials entering
into munitions from the 10 per cent
proposed by the finance committee to
per cent. Southern and western
senators bitterly attacked the com
mittee proposal, contending the action
would result in a heavy tax on cotton
and copper.

road men and their employers to set

strike is called it will be directed
from headquarters here. At the
brotherhood headquarters it was said
preparations had been completed for
putting into effect strike stopping
every train, passenger and freight, on
the 225 railroad lines of the United
States. Authorities here declare that
while national labor laws gave the
president no right to interfere Off
cially, his broad police powers gave
him authority to put soldiers on
trains and even declare martial law.
The tension In business circles
shows the realization of the acute
danger of a national calamity. Ag-
gregate financial losses running into
a hundred millions. labor idleness
and food privation are some of the
possibilities the strike presents. The
immediate seriousness is the food
supply. Large communities receiving
food from long distances may be
forced to rely on what products can
be brought by wagons, autos. trolley
or vessels. A suspension of country
exports and congestion of imports
at coast cities, stranding thousands Of
travellers and visitors at summer re
sorts are among other possibilities
of the strike situation at present.
