year aao The West Vrgnian spoke 81 lie Necessity fer
hfeiing out this censorship matter before INTO war
and predicted substantially what has occurred regarding i
dnrmg lhe past few days.
The censorship clause originally appeared m Con,
sress was drawn BY The General Staff. Little things Ike
he constitution do not trouble army STATS rule and
glance at the bill as It was introduced indicates that our
own is not much better in this respect than some OF the
Others But the vices Of the measure tried to get through
started such roar Of objection that In the end the House
swept the whole thing out without giving the military stu
alton my consideration, and without knowing very clearly
why It was acting as il did The subsequent action shows
that was better advised later, although the measure st
open to serious objection.
A censorship the sense that the japanese and even the
British understand it is constitutional impossibiiy IN this
country. The American people feel too strongly about
the value Of liberty Of the press to permit to be bverted
There probably are no editors whose patriotism is under
suspicion, but it fact that there few in whom the
disposition to be sensational strong that their judgment
cannot be relied upon and who, to put it bly cannot be
trusted all the time.
During the Civil war this state Of affairs was dealt with
effectively, if somewhat summanly, by the people, who
sometimes felt called upon to visit newspaper plant
wreck it completely and give the offending editor swift
chase across country That is scarcely feasible in these
days when newspaper plants big factories that it would
take eckng crew days put out of business. and most
newspapers are owned by corporations.

YoS7 Law ENFORCEMENT.


A MONG recent contributions to the gaieB Of sad
n world is that dispatch from Charleston which said
that at the office Of the State Prohibition department
few reports have been received of attempts to eyade the
new qarta-month law Judging by the amount of liquor
that was brought into the state during the two or three
weeks preceding the date on which the amendments to the
Yos law went into effect there will be incentive tc evade
the new provisions for months
1t will be time enough to look for systematic and serious
attempts at bootleggng month six weeks from now.
By that time the authorities at Charleston ke to hear
reports quite different from those they getting now.
By that time if the lawless element Of the state is to be
made to understand that the people Of West Virginia are
determined that this shall be dry state, Commissioner
Hallanan and his assistants will have to be very Wgant
indeed, and the people they should keep the closest watch
upon are the police authorities of the districts where boot
Logging was most prevalent during the past year.
