Why Ghosts Appear

Ever since the war began there have
heen persistent tales from the hattie

is an explosives expert for the govern
ment and says that these ghosts may
be quite real after all. Prof. Monroe
offers an explanation that Is highly In

A LIMIT TO DISCUSSION.

BY applying the simple test oil con
science. the editors OF the more radical
magazines. as well as those printed in
German language. can easily deter
mine whether they are suffering in
Justice from the action of the govern
ment in censor.ng or suppressing
their publications. They have only 10
ask themselves whether they are for
America first.
The government must determine it's
own action by drawing q line some
or not these publications are ininring
the cause OF the country ~ war. We
think that President Wilson gave a
correct view of the situation the
other day when ne replied to Max
Eastman. the editor OF an ultra rad
lea! magazine, The Masses" Mr.
Eastman had protested against what
he termed interference with free dis
Cussion during the war and since his
the government it may he assumed
that his communication was not with
out the spirit OF anger.
President Wilson. in a reply that
was notably calm and even sympa-
thetic, said Il think that q time OF
war must be rega rded as wholly ex-
cepti"nal and that It is legitimate TO
regard things which would IN ordinary
circumstances be innocent as very
dangerous to the public welfare"
The president emphasizes the diff
Guilty OF drawing a line between what
IS proper and wha, is Improper in dis

that the authorities are trying il may

that line without fear OF favor OF
prejudice.
We regard il as the duty OF all citi
gems under these conditions to exer-
else patience and not be too insistent
upon what they term their rights OF
speech. 1t is highly inpor,at to US as
Individuals that the war should BE-
won. With that thought in mind we
think 1t well to leave the doubt in
favor Of the government at Washing

The retail liquor dealers OF Mis-
soula have acted wisely and are to be
commended for their decision to close
the saloons and wholesale liquor
houses on the day OF the departure OF
drafted men for the cantonments. 1t
was believed that the closing OF
these places for three hours before
the departure of the train would be
quite sufficient That was all the pres
ident asked the governors 10 request
of the city and municipal authorities.
The liquor dealers OF our own city,
however. have decided 10 keep their
places closed for the period OF the
day before the men leave. That is
the right spirit and gives assurance
against such disoSierly scenes as were
witnessed a short time ago. Also
there should be prompt compliance on
he part OF the city council with a
request for an ordinance compelling
obedience to this plan, since in every
class of business men there are a few
who are too selfish to act along raa :
sonable lines.
