SOUL '(Prov 90 -1O)
There in no mis- take but what
the bIondthirsty, DO hate the
just person, and will, If IL lay in
their power-slay the upright
in heart. For God has said.
IAN unjust man is an abom-
ination to the just: and he, that is
+ upright in the way is abomina
ton to the wicked"
{Prov. 29-27)
Those are the two powers that
the wise man Solonan written
on for the benefit of all just
persons Therefore, he said,
when the wicked are mul.
tipIied. trsDgression inoreaseth;
but the righteous shall see their
fall" prov. 29-16)
This is a token of what Christ
said when be was here on
earth please read.
And Jesus answered and
said unto them. Take heed that
no man deceive you.
For many shall come in nv
name. saving, I am Christ; and
shall deciey. many.
And ye shall hear OF wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye are
not troubled for all of these
things must come to pass but
the end is not yet
For nation shall rise against
nation. and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be
famines and pestilences. and
earthquakes in divers places
All these are the beginning OF
serrows.
Then shall they deliver you ur
to be afflicted and shall kill yru
and ye shall be hated Of all ma
.tions tor nv names sake.
And then shall many DO Offend
ed and shall betray one another
and shall hate one another.
And many falsa prophets shall
rise and shall deceive many.
Ard because iniquity shSl
abound. the love of many shal
wax cold." Matt. 24-4--12)
From those facts we 'earl
that wicked men. and wicked
ness shall increase, just wha
we see to day. And 1t is for thi
reason, that God spoke thr'
James in this manner.

Unnecessary.

There has never been a cheaper or
more cruel thrust at the rights and
honor of the American press than is
contained in the espionage bill pend
ing in the Senate.
In a single clause are linked news
paper men, spies, informers, foreign
agents, tale bearers and others whose
business it is ito, elicit information. ;,
That clause should be torn from the
bill; it is an offense to the nostrils
and sore to the eye.
There should not be any drastic, ar
bitrary press censorship. For more
than a month a voluntary censorship
has been in force. Despite its expert
mental. tentative form it has been a
success. as administration officials ad-
init. 1t will continue to be success,
for the vast majority of newspapers
are honorable, and the newspaper call
ing is honorable.
We believe that newspapers that
wilfully violate the spirit of censor
ship and publish prohibited informa-
ton of military value can be prose
euted under the law OF treason.

narrow bureaucratic eye to supervise
the making of newspapers will be an
intolerable imposition on the press,
which in the United States has a
closer, more intimate relation to the
people-and is a more strongly in
trenchcd bulwark of their liberties
than in any other nation.
We believe that the means of pre-
venting military information from
getting to the enemy are so many
including rigid control of cable, tele-
graph, and telephone-that these
means should be put into effect first
without creating a censorship which
even as a military measure has not
been demonstrated to be necessary in
the slightest degree, and which in it
self is a violation of the freedom OF
the press guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition.
