BOy-Ed and the Press. (AnSOnia Sentinel.)

Like his illustrious compatriot, Captain Won Papen, the distinguished naval attache of the German embassy, Captain Boy-Ed is no longer with us for good and sufficient reasons. This parting is a matter of much satisfac- tion to the United States, if it is not to the naval attache. In his valedic- tory to the American people Captain Bod-Ed is not as gracious and dlplO- matic as the representatives of the military arm of his government. His Prussianism bObs up irrepressibly and he ndulges in a diatribe against the irresponsible press" as he calls it., that indicates how willingly he would wiring it's collective neck, if he had it in Germany. In fact he tells us in so many words that free speech is something that displeases him deeply and that the time is coming in Ameri- ca, when we will have to gag the newspapers in the effectual way they use in the empire that Prussia domi- mates
 That is natural way for free speech to strike a representative of the kaiser He has had no first hand acquaintance with liberty Of thought and of the press and it's manifestation when he is the targcet so to speak, ap- pears to him like the extreme of li- cense. Different schools, different manners. The American people like a, free and untrammeled press They like to have the newspaper tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the operations of such men as Boy-Ed for instance. They may disagree with the journal istic conclusions but they do not shout for a gag every time the papers step on their tender toes. They simple srin and bear it with the reflection that some sacrifice must be made in the cause of free thought.
 Far dista mt should be the day that Captain Boy-Ed so blitheIy predicts, when the hand of autocracy can throttle the press and through it the expression of the free thought of a free people, Such a strangulation might come, if Germany had the say in this republic but that time is not yet. Much must happen before it comes to pass and rivers of blood will have to flow before Prussian militar- ism places the gag between the lips of American citizens or breaks the pen in the hand of honest newspapers.
