STUPID CENSORSHIP.

Congress appears to be seriously
considering :he bill to set up censor
ship OF moving pictures. Censorship
and stupidity are practically synony-
nous and interchangeable terms.
comments the Saturday Evening Post
It IL only the dull. dim mind that
itches to impose Its personal tastes by
force OF law upop It's neighbors,
We read somewhere not long ago
that a sapient board Of censors had
forbidden the exhibition Of a film
dealing with Mexico because villa APP
peared in ii; and villa IL murderer.
We presume II is true. because that
would be exactly typical OF censorship.
There is as much reason for estab-
fishing a censorship Of the spoken
drama as OF moving pictures; as
much reason for censorIng newspa-
pers, magazines, books. music, paint
ing, sculpture-and conversation.
BY any OF those means evil may be
communicated quite AZ readily as on
the screen. Concerning any OF them
there will be wide differences OF opin-
ion as to what Is and what Is not evil.
Under a censorship the stupidest opin-
ion would prevail. That Is ineyita-
BILE.
Free speech, under the established
penalties OF the criminal law. - Of the
inner spirit OF this government. II
seems odd to lay an official hand upon
a mode Of speech--by pictures--be-
cause 1t happens to have been newly
invented. II we are going to start on
that road there IL no good reason why
we should not go the whole way back
to the Spanish InquisItion.

a RATIONAL VIEW.

The Oregon Journal recently printed
a quite unusual letter from Leo J.
Frachtenburg. Poltand citizen Of
German birth who Is supporting Presi-
dent Wilson. In language fierce and
bitter the Oregon Deutsche Zeiiung
denounced the Journal for alleged fax
ing, saying in effect that Leo ]. Fraeh-
tenburg was a myth. Thereupon the
Journal printed Mr.. Fraehtenburg's
likeness and street number. Part Of
his letter follows:
IL am an American citizen Of Ger
man descent and am proud Of both
facts. Furthermore. | am Just as anx-
ious 10 see the Germans come out vic
torious in this terrible struggle ns
probably Kaiser Wilhelm himself.
However, am not narrow minded and
blind TO the dcsates Of humanity.
most strongly tom mend the course
taken by President Wilson In the recent
submarine controversy with Germany.
| believe, with thousands upon thou
sands Of serious but intelligent Ger
mans, that the submarine warfare rs
waged by the German naval authorities
was q warfare of frightfulness, Offend
ing every sense Of humanity and eivili-
xation. The heart Of every decent
German revolted against a policy in
augurated by n clique Of war-mad and
victory -intoxicated individuals.
''It Is my belief that those Germans
in America who are citizens ought to
vote for President Wilson, not in spite
Of but because of his protestatious
against the German submarine warfare.
''As an intelligent German and as q
patriotic citizen of this great country
Of ours, | believe that President VIII
son is absolutely neutral in the great
European struggle, and for that reason
/ shall vote for him and shall work Tor
his election whenever and wherever the
opportunity 10 do 80 b presented" /"
Mr. Frachtenburg might have added
that in view Of the fact that Theodore
Roosevelt has become one Of the lead
ing supporters Of the Hughes campaign
1t Is difficult to understand how more
consideration for the German cause can
be expected from Hughes than Wilson.
Without knuckIing abjectly to the i'm
perial government the present admin
istration, we think. has done. all that
could be reasonably expected TO keep
peace with Germany.
