should go. England's experience during the pres

stupidity TO which news censorship can be car
red, and in Germany the process actually has been
carried to an extreme only to be justified on the
assumption that the continued loyalty and support
of the civilian population only lie insured by the
suppression of the truth concerning the political as
well as the military policies of the government.
In this country conditions are so different that
far better results are to be attained by the voluntary
and intelligent cooperation of the newspapers than
by the application of drastic rules the execution of
which must Of necessity be left in the hands of men
without experience and too often without discretion.

I, RULING

Washington, March 5.--(SpeciaL.)
Senator Walsh announced that at
tomorrow's session Of the senate he
will endeavor to have taken up the
question Of adopting cloture rule.
He will reintroduce the resolution
offered by him In January dcclar-
ing that the senate Is not con-
tiuuing body and therefore at a new
session can formulate new ruleA by
a ma jority vote. One of the rules
thus formulated would be to limit
debate, for over half of the senate
members have signed an agreement
to cooperate to obtain the cloture
rule. Among the signers to this
agreement are Senators Walsh and
Myers and practically all the Demo-
cratic senators from the western
states. II there Is Democratic op-
position to the movement It will be
from southern senators who fear
that should the Republicans get
control OF congress the cloture rule
would be invoked to pass legislation
cutting down the representation In
congress from southern states.

at a mass meeting held here tonight
under the auspices OF the American

urged to exercise his constitutional au-

Teddy-Bryan
Debate VIII.
Not Be Held.
Colonel Says to Debate Pre-.

New York. March 5.-Theodore
Roosevelt has declined an invitation of
representatives Of the Congress Of
Forums to debate the subject of pre-
paredness in this city with william
Jennings Bryan it has been announced.
Mr.. Bryan had accepted the invita-
ton. but. asserted In letter that he
thought 1t would be wise to walt until
, the present international crisis was
past. He also said he did not think
the debate should be confined to one
city. but that he and Colonel Roosevelt
should travel over the country: each
paying his own expenses and charging
no admission to the public.
Colonel Roosevelt's reply to Repre-
sentatives Of the Congress OF Forums
said in part:
II cannot accept your proposal be-
cause l regard 1t as u waste OF time
to debate on-debatablc subjects. To
debate with Mr.. Bryan his views
against national preparedness would,
in my Judgment, be precisely on d par
with debating the undesirability of
homogeneous marriages or the morality
of aboiishing patriotism. or the advan-
tagc Of the re-introduction OF slavery
or the right OF judges TO accept bribes
from suitors. as duty OF submission To
the divine right of kings or the pro-
priety of action such as that OF Bene-
diet Arnold"
