BOSTON Journal MAKES STRONG PLEA AGAINST I
IN FURTHER RESTRICTIONS sON FREE DISCUSSION

IYAYl BILL offered by Senator Myers of Montana pre-
ZfHl scrbes jail terms for persons who speak disre
ISUI spectfuly OF the president, the government or
wv the congress of the United States The Myers
. bill, broadly speaking, is aimed to penaze sedi-
tion but within the Interpretation of any petty official
it might punish an ordinary criticism
Certainly no person or paper need speak disrespect
neither should the United States government in its
honesty and frankness fear disrespectfu or disoyal
criticism. i1e
criticism of any given official or act may be in
either bitter mild terms. If it is offered for the
purpose Of calling attention to an evil it cannot be dis
loyal contemptuous etc., but s, the other hand in
tensely patriotic Under such law the Myers bill
suggests however, any criticism might be interpreted
as disloyal +,
80 The bill is plain denial of American rights
and would SO operate We advise the public to study
such bill introduced and to be its guard against
any slightest tampering with the constitutional guar
antees of free speech and free press.
In this country not only have numberless SUBJ
ects which need full publicity, but we have ample laws
for the protection Of military secrets. 4,

the press may learn things for itself; and do not

for itself Of the ghasty failure at Gapo and forced

West scandal society holding reins on the field
marshal Inefficient cabinet ministers have gone under

And in this country shall we blind the people by
gougng out Of the constitution the solemn promise of
free press?
Let US admit that there are publications which eX
ercse discrimination in their attacks upon the gov
ernment and whose criticism is usually destructive and

rarely constructive.
But for the sake of chastising few unwise pub
fishers shall hack away the very foundation of our
precious democracy?
Let us admit, too, that some of the professional
agtators l. w. w. leaders whatever they
may beare abusing their rights and uterng sedtous
language "
But must we in order to punish them, frighten the
whole nation into silence on the vital subject of govern1
ment affairs?
- Many people dislike the present makeup of
this government, But is it not their government
born in revolution and builded to make men free?
Surely the Myers bill could not be passed with the
consent of the people And the consent of the people
never will be obtained for any such piece Of autocratc
savagery while the press remains free.
But why, people asking, must this sinister effort
to ste free speech recur SO persstenty when we are
Offering million Of sons the altar of liberty?
1t speaks ill indeed, of our high national purpose
Once and for all the president Of the United States
should give assurance that he will neither support
countenance any scheme for reducing freedom below
the minimum point which it already has reached in
these days of stern reorganization.
- If the American people fit to fight for
democracy a great and democratic nation there is
not the slightest danger that they will be swayed by
shrill-voiced nobodies condemnng the government.
Hang spies and the traitors send the seditious to
jail But do under the laws already the statute
books We need not another line of law that subject
Any proposed law bearing upon the rights of the
people and the press is now open to suspicion. The
country does not need it, the people will not tolerate it.
Congress should know that in these nervous days
the faintest suggestion of added restrictions is
garded with dark suspicion and brings sharp decline
in the public confidence.

his personal prejudices toward a duly
appointed and confirmed officer of
the law to SO affect him that he re-
fuses to act with him in the service
of the state, according to the Boston
Journal Mr.. Pelletier is vigorously
opposed to "bigotry" in others, but
we fail to see any difference between
the "bigotry" he opposes and the
prejudice" he exhibits and has ex-
hibited toward Probation Officer, Al
lison G. .Catheron, whose appointment
was confirmed, by, the full supreme
court. Mr.. Pelletier simply says 'he
may be Of some service somehow in
this position but he cannot work
with my office" Yet Mr.. Pelletier
has assisted in spending $4,000 of
good X. G. money to abolish "re-
ligious prejudice"
Editor Norwood is right in regard
to Pelletier but he might have stated
the facts much more strongly.

We know Of no organization in
existence today which so richly de-
serves the appellation Of "The Wolf
in Sleeps Clothing" as the Jesuit
ical Knights of Columbus so-called
Religious Prejudice" Commission.
Its dove-like cooling, siren songs and
honeyed words are only less notable
than is its significant silence in re-
gard to the almost continuous ex-
hibition Of religious prejudice" by
Roman Catholics which blossom al
most weekly in acts Of mobocracy

which the knights of Columbus and
other representatives of political Ro-
manism are raging to substitute the

cratic theory of our liberal consti-

In speaking Of the new report Of
this commission which has recently
appeared Mr.. J. W, Norwood, the
editor Of that bravest and brightest

issue Of August 18th:
We wish the statements in that re-
port were all backed up by the re-

was, it is true, contrary to tho papal
system and theory in which this Can

Mr.. Catheron strove to secure legis-

German-CathoIiC
Hyphen Remains

The German Catholic Verein has
been holding its national talkfest in
St. Louis. Benedict's deputy pope,
Bonzano, was there trying to per-
suade the pope's German Subjects to
eliminate the word German" from
the name of their combination so it
would look better in these times of
war. ...
But the German papists would not
have 1t that way. The German Cath
olic Central Verein is still German
in name. 1t is also pro- German in
sentiment and sympathy as is proved
by Its passage Of a resolution en-
dorsing the pope's recent plans for
peace with its "condonement" of
every atrocity perpetrated upon
Belgium and Serbia. Z
1t is evident that the United States
government will repudiate the pope's
pro-German meddling, for it can't do
anything else with consistent loyalty
to its allies; and we have the edify-
ing spectacle Of the pope's German
Central Verein endorsing a PROPOSE
tion in fiat conflict with the nations
war administration.
But what else could be expected
unless the Verein chose to adopt Bon
zano's false and hypocriticaI tactics,
and to make a pretense of undivided
allegiance to this country that does
not exist? The virtue of the Ger
man is his continuity. What he was
yesterday, he is today, and will be
tomorrow. So, when Bonzano, the
slick Italian diplomat, asks the Ger
man subjects Of popery TO repudiate
their German name for papal pur.
poses, they refuse; and, in refusing,
show where their sympathies really
lie, clinching the demonstration witt,
anti-American resolutions that favor
the evident alliance between Rome
and Berlin.

Iake the case Of newspapers ex-

lief for the publishers lies IN the AK
pensiye method of procuring an in
Junction against such an order being
enforced and such an injunction may
in turn be set aside by tribunal in
sympathy with the bureaucratic
method.
Needless to say any official now
guilty of substituting bureaucratic
assumption of authority for the pro-
visions set forth in our organic law
would be more wary of transcending
the authority vested in him if the
law provided dismissal as the in
escapable penalty for such acts.
Such law should automatically
make the act of transgression illegal
and democracy would be strength
ened a hundred fold. =

rect can conscientiously oppose such
a n1easure--unless that person fears
the operation Of the law against him
self, and like the murderer who is
opposed to life Imprisonment or cap-
ital punishment, such person will
only show that he is menace to free
society.
Such opposition can be expected
from bureaucrats. 1t would hardly
come froG those who have a whole
souled interest in making America
safe for democracy.
Think it over and let us work for
the adoption of this protective fea-
.ture. Candidates in 1918 should
make this part Of. their platform
and any number Of them will show
themselves willing to introduce such
bill. This government belongs to
the people,, and such a measure would
to large degree make all officials,
even appointive, responsible to them.
