ON BEHALF OF THE BOYS.

We are not very strong for uncall-
ed for press censorship. We believe
in freedom of speech and the freedom
of the press, but we also believe Ii Mt
such freedom is entitled to existence
and respect only when accompanied
by at least a minimum amount Of de-
cency and common sense. A news
paper totally void of either or both
should be suppressed. and if we were
as vitality interested as some of our
friends, we would do the aforesaid
slpnressing, all by our lonesome, if we
couldn't get the proper authorities to
do it for US.
The boys who are called upon to
appear before local registration
boards for examination under the
conscription act, are also entitled to
at least a certain amount Of respect.
The same law which requires the
boys to appear, strip, and be examin-
ed certainly should protect them from
having their physical defects herald
ed to the world thru a morbid press.
If the law does not do so, the press
sense of decency should. Especially
is this true in the case of man hav-
ing some affliction anyone fain
would keep to himself. Such informa-
ton should be for official eyes only.
Again, it certainly is not W to the
press to pass upon any mans claim
for exemption, much less to ridicule
his assertions in defense thereof.
The presentation of such claims is
not only the right of any man, but
the duty of every man in whose case
such claims rightfully exist. The
merits of these claims are supposed
to be determined by those in authority
md who, We trust, are fully compe-
tent to discharge that duty without
suggestion or advice, in each specif-
ic case, from some self-constituted
'Show-'em-how" newspaper scout.
These boys now being examined,
are not bunch of felons, for the
finger of morbid curiosity to pinch
and jab, and feel of. They are our
own sons. and brothers and husbands,
whom the government is calling upon
10 donate their lives to the welfare
Of their country. The heart of this
paper for one, goes out to these lads,
every one Of them, and we would like
to see them treated like white men.
