FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
(Sheboygan Press.)

Recently there was introduced in the Senate and House. bills having for their purpose the elimination from the malls of all advertising matter dealing with intoxicating liquors and this necessarily would prevent a newspaper from accepting advertis- ing of this nature. The Press does not argue this matter from the view point that it will take dollars out of our pocket-that is not the question but solely upon tho fact that 1t de- nies to newspaper the right to ex- ercise it's own Judgment. Perhaps it is the aim of Senator Bankhead or Congressman Randall to hit at the brewers or distillers. but they have very peculiar way of getting at it action on the part of every news, paper. The constitution has pre- scribed in we'll written words that Congress shall make no law re- specting an establishment, of relig- ion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" Language could not have a clear meaning and the freedom of the press means the full exercise of it's rights. The dry goods merchant or the farmer can do business without restrictions, but the newspaper comes under the ban. should this law be enacted. How ever. that Is not the most serious phase of the question Should this law be placed on the statute books it will prevent a full and free hearing of the question of prohibition.
 It looks like a movement to stifie the voice of the men who have large investments, and who are to be rail-

M. JUSSERAND

| M. Jean Adrien Antoine Jules Jus serand, the ambassador of the French republic at the court of Uncle Sam, will pass his sixty-second milestone tomorrow. M. Jusserand has been the diplomatic representative of the Tricolor in the land of the Stars and Stripes for nearly fifteen years, and in that period he has accomplished much toward cementing the ''entente'' between the two greatest republics. Although he has said little for public ation since the outbreak of the war. M. Jusserand has exercised an even more powerful influence than if he had talked at every opportunity The reserved, scholarly Frenchman is of a type that appeals strongly to think ing Americans.
 M. Jusserand is a writer of great ability, as we'll as an uncommonly able and tactful diplomatist, and yields as facile a pen in writing Eng fish as when expressing his thoughts in his native tongue. His Literary History. of the English people" holds high rank among works of that kind. and his with Americans of Past and Present Days" published last year. shows an intimate appreciation of American people and institutions.
 M. Jusserand is now the dean of the diplomatic corps in Washington. and has served longer than any of his predecessors. It was to Theodore Roosevelt that he presented his cre- dentials upon his arrival in Washing ton, to which post he had been pro- noted from Copenhagen. Col. Roosevelt foNnd the Frenchman a man much after his own heart, and many were the stiff games of tennis played on the White House courts be- tween President and Ambassador. M. Jusserand is fond of all sorts of out door sports, and he has written a book dealing with the history of the pastimes of France. Col. Roosevelt, the late John Hay, and M. Jusserand were close friends, and often met to discuss literary topics.

roaded out of business without oppor- tunity of being heard. In the fast campaign each side used the columns of the press of the country to present their views. When the question of prohibition comes before the people, should the present bill become law, it will mean that the freedom of the press has been curtailed and the guar antee of the constitution lost sight of. The newspaper has a right to it's views and to express them and any law interfering with that right is un-American. The Press is not ar guing from the viewpoint of what is best for the cash drawer. but what are our honest rights. The Press realizes very few dollars on the liquor business and could get along without any of it, and prosper. That is not the question. Our point is that Con- gress has no right to enact law which is an abridgment of the free- dom of the press and every far-sight- ed member of that body who belieres in the spirit of fair play can see 1t in no other light.
