FRIGHTFULNESS AT
HOME.

While the nation is going to some
pains to curb the frightfulncss of Ger
many, it might be the part of consist
cncy as well as of civilization to alb
stain from frightiulness at nome.
Such exhibitions of barbarism. for in
stance. as burning at the stake and
mutilating negro in Memphis Tues
day. do not square with Americas pro
tests of the atrocities of Prussianisn.
Generally such outbursts can. to some
extent be condOncd by the fact that
they occur in isolated and ignorant
communities. but in this case a mob
of from two thousand to three thou
sand in one of the largest cities of the
south took part in the horror, and.
from all accounts. got a considerable
amount of glee out of it. The fact
that after sixty years of lynchings, oc-
casions for them still occur in the
south. is proof of their nOncffective-
ness in preventing the crime they are
aimed at. And they ara not necessary

A REMINDER TO SHIPPERS.

Not long since we advised the farm
crs and business men of Montana to
prepare their joint case for the hearing
which will soon be held on the appli-
cation of the railroads for an increase
OF state rates amounting to about Is
per cent.
We beg to repeat this advice and to
cnjoin those interested in this matter
to lose no time in preparation. 1t may
be that careful reading Of the reports
of the examination before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. now in
session. will be useful. This is Il
hearing on the application for IL per
cent increase of freight rates following
the enactment of the Adamson law.
According to the testimony Of their
own officers, the railroad companies
arc not suffering as they would have
us believe. on Friday. for instance. Mr..
Il. L. Winchcll. director of traffic of
the Union Pacific. stated that his COM
pany had paid an extra dividend of .
per cent for the year. Mr.. A. L. Con-
rad assistant general auditor of the
Santa Fe. testified that during the first
three months of 1917 the SYSTEMS
| revenue increased approximately 81
100000 over a similar period in 1915
while the increase in operating OK.
penscs was about s2.00O,O00.
| These statements were made under
| oath and will be worth remcmbcrin.
at the hearing of the application of tn,
railroads entering Montana before TIT
state railway commission.
We are not ready to say whether tn
railroads are entitled to an increase o
Ii per cent or to any increase unit
We arc appraised of all the facts. w
merely advise the shippers of the stat
not to let this matter go by defaul
since it is most important for the pub
lie interests to have all information
possible on this subject.

MR.. M'ADOO'S BLUNDER

The money income of the people of
the United States is fifty billion dol
lars a year. Therefore. the task of alb
sorbing a popular government war
loan of two billions is. or ought to be.
relatively easy. 1t requires the invest
mcnt of only four per cent of the ma
tional income Nevertheless the Lib
crty Loan has stuck on the ways. This
is not a catastrophe. The whole
amount will be placed. But it is an
Unnecessary humiliation.
ThS operation has been badly man
aged. The loan ought to have been
ovcrsubscribed in three days. 1t could
have been if the treasury had utilized
the first enthusiasm.
Fancy offering a two billion dollar
loan without naming the terms. That
is what the treasury did. Mr.. Nc
Adoo's original announcement was Sc
vague that when it was received at
night in the newspaper offices nobody
could be sure whether it meant that
the bonds would be on sale the day
following or not Such simple infor-
nation as the term of the bond, its
Lowest denomination and the manner
of payment was omitted from the an
nounccmcnt. Evidently Mr.. MeAdoc
wanted to see how the people would
respond to the idea. instead of taking
it for granted that the loan would sci
itself If it had Il chance. The result
was IA mass of tentative Offerings" tt
buy the bonds, received mainly from
banks. These were reported for sew
cral DAYS at the treasury. The rate
per hour or per minute was enthusi
astically calculated. But nobody could
definitely buy or engage Liberty
Bond, because the treasury was not
ready with the terms or the subscrip-
ton blanks All that one could dc
was to indicate ones intention to buy
A week later people were still ask,
ing for the terms. especially the bank
crs. who realized that if the first mass
impulse to buy was thwartcd tn,
psychological moment would pass ant
that in such case they would have t
get under the loan and merchandise
1T laboriOusly to the private investor
That has happened. The loan is now
upon the bankers. who. if they had
been called upon to handle II from TIL,
beginning. would have handled it very
diffcrcntly.--Ncw York Tribune.

Will be "A White House kitchen garden

KILL THE CENSORSHIP.

1t was something of a coincidence
that on the very day that President
Wilson rc-asscrted his recommends =
ton for newspaper censorship, there
| was an announcement of the sentence
of an English government censor to
| two years Imprisonment because OF
his disclosure of important war news
| In an innocent way he said something
TO somebody and was punished, al
though there was no proof of his ma
lcious intent.
The censorship proposal should be
dropped. 1t would be very useless
and dangerous innovation. A free press
and free speech are most essential to
our government. There must be no
entering wedge to break down tho
freedom that Thomas jefferson re-
Sardcd as the birth right of the people
The presidents excuse that some pa
pcrs need censorship is not satisfac-
tory. There is Il way of dealing with
newspapers that furnish aid and com
fort to the enemy without striking at
the root of the republic.
Very much greater and more impor
tant than the danger that the presi
dent foresccs is the menace of a bu-
rcaucracy that might easily be worse
tor the people than some of the auto
cratic governments of Europe
benjamin Franklin forcsaw the pos
sibliity of the influences of "a closely
co-operatcd group of burcaucrats. He
spoke before a convention formed TO
frame Il federal constitution and laid
special emphasis upon the efforts OF
these people to enlarge their powers
and create big salaries for themselves.
He told his hearers that there were
two passions which had the most
powerful influences on the affairs of
men. one was the ambition for power
and the other for money. In discussing
the msidious, stcp-by step methods
OF acquiring power he reminded them
OF Pharaoh who got all the money out
of the people and then their lands and
finally made slaves OF them.
What would Mr. Franklin say today
II he saw the possibility of IA law
that would permit the censorship of
the newspapers of this country nv n
force of such cheap and unin,clligcnt
aids as are employed in MANY of the
departments at Wasningtonr The
president has already asked for other
autocratic powers during the war and
there is IA disposition on the part of
the people to grant these because the
president is held responsible fot the
conduct of the war and must have
authority.
