ton for forcing men to return to the
farms during the present war with
Germany In Westminster there are
plenty of men capable of farm labor,
who stand around the street corners,
and apparently do nothing for their
own support Can some scheme be
devised for making these people of
some service to themselves. In close
proximity to this city are hundreds
of acres Of untitled land which could

sons were arrested on general war
rant because newspaper with which
they were suspected of having been
connected attacked the speech from
the throne, but the mobs of the peO-
pie so threatened Parliament that all
were released.
The right of the press to criticise
kings and statesmen was established
when the famous "Junius" letters
which laid bare the mendacity of the
government brought about the arrest
and acquittaI of the supposed author.
Since that time the freedom of the
press has gone hand in hand with free
government and the only press that has
been trammelled, has generally been
in autocratic countries. In Germany an
editor has in almost every newspaper
office been hired to take the govern
nent sentences and go to Jail. To
.iiticisc the Kaiser was '.Lese Majestic"
md punishable by long term in pri-
;on. In Russia, on a newspaper pub
Usher with any independence, the edi-
tor spent most of his time behind pri-
son bars.
1t might be well to think over some
of these historical facts. 1t is true
that none of the pets of the govern
ment in these autocratic countries or
OH newspapers subsidized by the gov
ernments have ever been suppressed or
the editors sent to Jail.

Officers at Camp Macarthur express
ed surprise at the way the Wisconsin
troops stood the gaff of hard drill and
have given unstinted praise to the up
standing appearance of the men from
the Badger state. This is not the first
time. Fifty five years ago on Oct.
4th the same sort of troops met Gen.
Van Dorm and Gen. Sterling Price with
their Arkansas and Texas terr0rs at
the battle of Corinth and whipped
them. Gen. Van Dorm accounted for
his defeat by saying that he had to
fight men from Wisconsin and Minne-
sofa who had been trained in the woods
and on the rivers and knew neither
fear nor fatigue. The state is looking
for something like that from the Ger
man generals when the Iron Jaw
Brigade as the Waco camp men are
called gets to the front.
