CensOring the Religious
Press
ey Or. FRANK ckANg
tcopyright. 1915. b. Frank Craney

Al recent annual conference of the
Seventh Day Adventists a resolution
was passed protesting against House
Bill No. l91. which has been introduced
into the national congress-.
The bill in question authorized the
postmaster-general to exclude from the
mails publications against which COM
plant may be made if they contain any
article which tends to expose any race.
creed or religion to either hatred, con-
tempt. ridicule or obloquy."
There is probably not the slightest
chance that this bill nor any like it will
become a law, but its introduction into
the House illustrates the extremes to
which the regulators" will go.
To certain minds. and in particular to
certain enthusiastically religious minds,
liberty means that they shall be entirely
unhampered in their propaganda, while
all who with equal zeal oppose them shall
be restrained.
The religionist is usually very sensitive
about his faith. 1t is a sacred matter.
II is as delicate as his own good name or
the honor of his wife. To ridicule it is
to touch the apple of his eye. He cannot
reason about it with coolness, and his ar
gumentative calmness easily slips into
dull resentment.
This is so notoriously the case that re-
ligion is taboo in polite conversation, and
every newspaper fights shy of religious
opinion. II is the law in most editorial
offices that religion should never be ridi-
culed in the news columns nor alluded to
in any but complimentary way in edi-
torial remarks.
So far as newspapers are concerned.
and other publications of general and
secular character. the proposed law would
make little difference.
! But there are number of periodicals
which are open advocates of some re-
/ ligiou faith. The Catholic. Methodist,
/ Presbyterian, Baptist, and other churches
have their official organs.
Each of these in defending its own pe-
culiar tenets must necessarily endeavor
to expose the fallacy of those who hold
contrary creeds. The heat of protest Is
the life of the sectarian paper, it is what
it's readers want.
And it is not the right to advocate
that constitutes religious liberty. it is
the right to protest There can be no
freedom that is not freedom to resist,
whether by argument, denunciation, ridi-
Guile mr. what else
The only limit to this is the response
bility of any person or publication for
scurrility, libel, and other manifest inde-
cencies or injurious utterances.
To make the postmaster general and
his agents, or any other government Off
cials, censors of the press to any further
degree than the powers they now possess
to prohibit fraudulent or obscene matter
going through the mails is wholly unde-
sirable.
IF any man is aggrieved because his re-
Iligion is attacked, let him remember that
freedom to criticize is the other and in
Indispensable half of his freedom to believe
as he pleases. Without one there could

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There is one thing that must be
said in favor of our Commissioner
of Education. He knows how to
keep himself in the lime light
through the news papers. He rare
ly makes a move of any kind with
out getting his name into print.
His best friends are beginning to
think that he is carrying this mat
ter of newspaper notoriety to ex-
tremes. His mornings and his out
goings are chronicled with monoto-
nous regularity and yet we never
hear of anything being done that is
really worth while. So far as we
have been able to observe the State
Board of Education, the Commits
sioner of Education and the Super
intendent of Public Instruction,
have formed a mutual admiration
society. When one of the number
takes snuff all the others are sure
to sneeze. To such an extent has
this been carried that it has become
positively nauseating. Publicly at
least each one believes all the others
to have reached the limit of perfec-
ton.
We quote from an article which
has the name of the Commissioner
as its Introductory word. "Unfor-
tunately it is often a temptation to
teach the ninth grade at the ex.
pense of the children in the pri.
mary school and at the same time
to offer ninth grade work which is
unreal and unsatisfactory, consist
ing often of mere book work ir
such subjects as algebra, Latin
ancient history and English, all OF
which are good in their place, bu1
which do not constitute a high
school course for Idaho schools il
the twentieth century,"
We are not running the schools
of the state, not even trying to, bu
we do know that the above tabooet
subjects are our main reliance il
running country newspaper. Rea
mental fiber is obtained through
rigid discipline and that disciplin,
is fundamental to all we'll organic
ed minds. Idaho schools in tn,
twentieth century" are nothin,
worth boasting about and we Sc,
little chance for improved condi
tions ahead of us.
We venture the assertion that tn
work in the Primary schools a
well as the High schools of tn
state are both unreal and unSatis

tenn has been running long enough
to be judged by its product an,

lite theme. Good times have not
come to all sections of the state
alike. There is vast difference in
localities, but the southern part of
the state is generally prosperous.
OF all the towns Pocatello probably
leads. With pay roll of
$4,000, 100000 year that village
can afford to sit down and smile.
Much building of substantial
nature is in progress and the Gate
City is strictly booming.
Twin Falls is also one of Idaho's
live towns. There seems to be To-
Gated in this thriving place a clear
headed lot of business men who
spare neither time nor money to
make things look prosperous. No
man is more prosperous than he
feels. Twin Falls feels prosperous
and is.
Of all towns in the state Boise
has the reputation of recovering
from the late depression most slow
ly. Everything there is quiet.
The bottom dropped out of real
estate several years ago. Men of
large investments in city property
are on the ragged edge. The Trus-
tees of the best business in the city,
the Empire Building, a few days
ago secured a loan of $97, 100000 to
tide them over until better times
prevail, and SO it is all over the
city. Real estate ran riot tor years
and the reckoning has come. Even
the recall of the mayor seems to
have no stimulating effect. 1t will
require long time before the Cap
ital city will emerge from her fl
nancial embarrassment.
Nampa, Caldwell. Parma, Payette
and Weiser are all doing we'll, SO
that throughout southern Idaho
business men are quite optimistic.
The sheep and cattle industries
We're never in better condition than
now and the mines are all on the
boom. The fruit industry anguish
es on account of hard frosts but all
other agricultural interests are
flourishing.
In the northern part of the state
there is little to be desired. All
industries alike are progressing.
The grain yield is not quite up to
standard but the price makes up
for deficiency in quantity. Kend-
rick being the center of the great
grain section feels this influence
and her business men are reaping
the rewards of we'll earned industry
along commercial lines.
Not today but tomorrow; not
what | ought to do now, but what
| might find pleasant to do in tn,
future: not duty, but fancy-thu
museth the dreamer, and his nam,
is legion.
Much discomfort comes from tn,
prevailing belief that somethin,
different is something better. Die
you ever think of it in that way?
If man is the architect of his owl
fortune it is clearly evident tina
many of us have been workin,
without square, plumb or level.
