REPUBLICANS p
VIGOROUS WAR POLICY

Honest criticism of the administra-
ton in the conduct of the war will not
be productive of evil. 1t should be
followed by suggestions, offered in
good faith and with a view to i'm
proving the situation. Had not the
earlier war policies of Great Britain
been subjected to a criticism that
vas merciless, John Bull would never
have been kicked into the efficiency
which he has developed in two san
culinary years. Cowed as they have
always been by the leader of their
party, it is improbable that the Demo-
Gratis will have the hardihood to criti-
cize anything which he may do in
directing the course of the war with
Germany. 1t will remain for others
to point out defects and weaknesses.
1t is a thankless role, but not an I'M
patriotic one; nor should it be shirked
because it is painful. So long as Mr..
Wilson shows the capacity for ma
tional leadership he will have the
unqualified support of Republicans.
Should he wayer, they will endeayor
to sustain him. Should he retreat,
they will push forward. This is a
fight to a finish.

WASTED ONE

The German emperor spent enorm-
u sums of money in espionage and
propaganda work in the United States
with only two results: When war was
declared, public opinion more rapidly
c~rystalized in support of the war pol
icy, and former German subjects
found it necessary to declare the
more promptly their loyalty to the
country of their choice. The German
people might well condemn the Kaiser
for wasting a lot of good money.

p BILL

The spy bill that passed the Senate
and is now under consideration in the
House was framed behind closed
doors. copies Of the bill were refused
to Senators in advance Of its emery
ence from the committee room. the
records OF the meetings were not
written up in season for any member
OF the committee even to know what
TOOK place with exactitude, and the
Measure is now mockingly said to
have been much softened from its
original form. If this is true. the
original draft must have been worthy
of Torquemada and the palmiest days
of the Spanish Inquisition. Certainly
no measure could be more of a ira
vesty upon the republican forms
which this government is supposed
to adhere to; nor could any measure
place a larger amount of power in the
hands of incompetent or vindictive
men.
1t only needs a fee schedule where
by informers would get a moiety of
the fines to make the bill complete
for the purposes for which it is in
tended. Those purposes are only sec
ondarily concerned with the safe
guarding of military secrets from the
enemy. The primary notion is to sti-
fe criticism of the MASTERS, favorites
and incompetents who already have
had too much to do with bringing the
nation to war in such a lamentable
state of unpreparedness. Under its
provisions it is doubtful if a ~neighbor-
ly call could escape classification as
a seditious gathering if the group
should happen to fall to discussing
the war and should tell the truth
about Josephus Daniels. AS the bill
passed the Senate, the Postmaster
General is given absolute authority 10
determine what kind of published
comment upon the conduct of the war
is t~raitorous, and to deny the use Of
the mails to any newspaper whose
columns do not suit his ideas. Under
the bill as it stands there could be no
criticism of an embalmed-beef episode,
ii n should arise; no criticism of a
delay in the construction of the jitney
fleet which is to overwhelm the Ger
man U-boat campaign by sheer force
OF exhaustion; no adverse comment
upon any plan which Mr.. McAdoo
might devise for distributing the new
bonds of the government among ia
vored underwriters; no public protest
against appointments like Cary Gray
sons, or punishments like that visited
upon Leonard Wood.
Happily for the country, the House
proposes to strike out those sections
of the bill which would muzzle the
press. and only provide penalties
where newspapers publish military
secrets.
