An lHTERNED CENSORSHIP.

The house OF Representatives re-
versed its former vote and denied the
demand Of the administration for a
press censorship That action settles
the censorship matter for the time and
It viii not be likely to be brought up
again unless publication of news which
would serve an enemy's purpose should
De given by American newspapers.
Perhaps il would have been better #
most severe penalties had been imposed
upon any publisher who should forget
his duty 70 his country. Without doubt
congress would have agreed on that
but the demand for autocratic and
bureaucratic powers over free speech
brought a justified revot which dis
missed the censorship provision Of the
administrations espionage bill entirely.
II is also gra flying evidence that
congress had awakened to its own re-
sponsibility TO the people Of the coun-
try and is really to consider carefully
the steps 10 be taken at the beginning
Of what is likely 10 prove a long drawn
and desperate struggle and 10 pre-

American people. We are not ready to
dismiss or 10 suspend the essentials
of popular government and ape the
mistakes of autocracy while using the
slogan Of a world democracy and uni :
yersal self government.
The censorship provision was prop
erly refused. Whatever theory it was
founded upon its principal practical
feature would have been TO intrench
weakness, hide mistakes and cover
facts that the American people haze
ful' right to possess. The president
made a mistake wnen he demanded it
and congress corrected him.

We must do one of three things. and
that very quickly:

We have been calling every con-

put UP the average OF $1,000 for each
American family, or shut up and quit
the war. We went into this war with

We that the people are not willing to
subscribe bonds to the amount OF
$1,000 a family to enable US to lick
Germany and save England.
We need not think that we can sit
and look on. Congress is giving the
president powers TO do anything I'M
der the sun that suits his fancy. When
congress is thru, the president will
have power to commander private
