NEXT DRAFT IN FEBRUARY
President Says Plan of Putting Men
Into Five Glasses Will Produce
Perfect Organization.

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Wilson formally put the new machin-
cry for the carrying out of the selec-
tive draft bill into operation Saturday
with the publication Of the foreword
he has written to the regulations under
which the second call will be made.
The regulations themselves and the
uuestiOnaires which more than 9,OOO,-
600 registrants will be required to fill
out are being forwarded to local
boards, but have not yet been made
public.
War department officials estimate
that the whole process can be com
pleted within sixty days. This means
that no second call will be made upon
the draft forces before the middle Of
next February, as the period Of classi-
fication will not begin until Deem
Der Is.
The president describes the new
plan of dividing all registered men not
already modified into five classes, sub
ject to military service by classes, as
being intended to produce "a more
perfect organization of our man
power"

J. P. Morris Announces for
Representative.

We call attention this week to
the announcement of j. P. Morris,
OF Caney, as candidate for Rep
resentative from the 91st Legis-
lative district, and it is superfu-
GUS to add that he submits his
claims to the Democratic voters
at the August primary, 1917.
Mr.. Morris was member of the
Legislature during the session of
of 1912, and his record as a leg
isIator is as good as that of any
man who represented this district
within the last two decades. His
former experience will stand him
in good stead and would give him
a distinct advantage over a man
totally lacking the training which
former term as Representative
gives.
Mr.. Morris is a Christian gen.
tleman, honest and upright and
if nominated and elected he prom
ises his constitutnts that all his
energies shall be exerted in be-
half Of legislation beneficial to
the people of his district and
Eastern Kentucky generally.
He is prominently connected,
by blood and marriage, through
out the two counties composing
the district, and has had many
solicitations outside of his circle
Of relatives, and he enters the
race with full confidence that his
e fellow Democrats will not be un-
t mindful of the fact that his party
u has never yet called him in vain.
! Never since he has been a voter
It has he failed to support the NOM
s inees of his party, believing in
!. the principle that when a man
n participates in a convention or a
primary election he obligates
e himself to support the nominees
8, whoever they may be.
II The Courier asks the Demo-
e erats of the 91st district to study
y Mr. Morris qualifications seri-
/, ously and give his claims earnest
q consideration.

The Suppression of News.

Few people would have the
hardihood to ask a judge to have
a grand jury indictment pigeon
hoIed, or secretly dismissed, as
a personal favor, with the object
Of saving the accusd person from
public humiliation. Yet there
are still people to ask editors to
suppress news-or to color it to
the advantage of those figuring
in it.
If the people generally could
understand that the newspapers
are quite as important factors in
our lives as the courts - that the
responsibility of an editor to the
public is fully as sacred as that
of the judge-there would be
little effort made to have legiti-
mate news suppressed.
To ask a Judge to exercise bias
is to commit contempt of
court" To ask an editor to sup
press the truth about actual
events is to commit contempt of
public opimur.
The newspaper which would
suppress real news in the interest
! of the individual would betray
8 its trust, violate the obligation
g to society which it solemnly
p assumed on the day of its birth,
!, and would thereby forfeit its
$ place as the guardian of public
' interests, and would become a
menace, rather than a factor of
:. useful service, to its community,
q says the Editor and Publisher.
n The surest safeguard against
d tyrannyis full publicity of pro-
5 ceedings, whenever these have a
:, public interest. The best safe
/ guard against injustice to the
individual is the publication of
, the truth about any event in
c which he figures. When, be-
$ cause Of personal consideration
N an editor fails to do this, ht
breaks faith with his public.
The editor is the historian O
=, his day. He must record histor,
le as it is made, in both large anC
le small things. ltalways happens
~ ~ that some of this history will b,
le humilating, shameful that il
TX the printing of the news of tn,
is is day some people will be pilloried
10 1t is to be regretted that tn
b" events happened-but the histc
in in rian must put them into hit
irecord. Publishers Auxiliary.
