Wilson'S partisans as the very sweetest thing
that ever came out of a type-machlne.
Don't you remember! It was only a year
ago; and the Wilson cuc1oos continued their
perfect peace prattle down to the November
election.
The only real issue between Hughes and
Wilson was this issue.
Hughes and Roosevelt were boisterousIy
clamoring for the policy which The Jefferso-
man had advocated ever since May 1915,
when Bernstorff advertised the German in
tention to murder the American passengers
on the British steamboat LuSitania.
When those 119 Americans had been
murdered in cold blood, as per the Bernstortf
advertisement in the New York papers, what
did President Wilson do?
He typed out note to the Kaser-a note
full of sweetness, light, verbosity, and bunk;
and this note was trailed by others Of the
same sort, for two long, nerve racking years.
In morals, the hands of Bernstorff were
crimson with the blood of those Lusitania
victims when he ate dinner in the home Of
Vice President Marshall: in morals, Bern
storG was accessory to murder, when he was
the guest of President Wilson at Shadow
Lawn.
That was before the election, and the

Isn't that the exact line The Jefersonan
has taken?
From the very beginning, made it plain
that the only two legal methods by which the
people could fight the new laws, were an APP
peal to the U. S. Courts, and peaceable as
semblies petitioning the Government to re-
peal the Acts.
These methods are strictly constitutional,
and they were portion Of the liberties of
every Englishman, centuries before the Con
stltutlon was adopted.
In support of the legal fight on these new
Prussian Acts of Congress, and against the
maniacal policy of sending to Europe an
army larger than those Of Darius and
Xerxes, have used every argument that COM
mended itself to my wisdom"
In the language of Judge Force, [ was do
ing exactly what it was my perfect right
to do.
There isn't reader of The Jeffersonian
who does not remember that before Con-
gress passed the Press-gag law on June 18th,
I had already outlined the legal contest be
fore Judge Emory Speer, and had rendered
my services to make the constitutional argu-
ment before him, and before the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Of course, everything said in the paper
afterwards, must be construed as com
mentary upon the pending proposition to

make the world safe for democracy" is to
announce to the world that orr shrine is no
longer worshipped, no longer respected, no
longer preserved, as the Israelite guarded
his Ark of the Covenant.
This time last year, The Jefersonian, with
many other papers that are intensely hostile
to German militarism and U-Boat atrocities,
strenuously advocated the severance of rela-
tons with Germany, the sending of Bern
storf out of the country, the seizure of hos
tile aliens as hostages, and the energetic as
sertion by our naval forces of our neutral
rights upon the high seas.
This time last year, the Wilson partisans
were denouncing The Jefersonian for that
attitude and were making the daily papers
ring with hymns Of praise Of the President
who refused to go that far.
It wouldn't do to send Bernstorf home: it
wouldn't do to sever friendly relations with
the Kaiser: it would not do to use our fleet
to convoy our vessels across the ocean and to
sink any German boat that dared to modest
them.
No, indeed That wouldn't do: that would
be going too far. The thing to do was, to
write another note to the Kaiser, and then
another, and then another, and then a few
e-each of which would be hailed by

FARM MA CHINERY

If the people Of the United States and Of that por-
ton of the rest Of the world which depends on US for
supplies are to be fed. food in abundance must be pro-
duced on the farms. If the farms are to produce prop
erly there must be an adequate supply Of the means Of
production. among which farm implement naturally
take a place Of great Importance. The farmer Is just as
on the manufacturer for Implement as the
latter is dependent on the farmer for food. There Is a
of interest there which no amount Of agita-
ton can remove. Each group must work to supply the
other, and the more harmoniously the work is done. the
better will be the results all around.
There appears to be a shortage of machinery. Facts
tending to show this were brought out at a recent nation
al meeting of manufacturers. and as one Of the results
of the meeting efforts will be made to correct a condi-
ton which,, II not corrected, will obstruct in some meas
ure the production Of food. -f
The statisticians. however, appear to have carried
their figures a little too far in one direction. The state
ment is made that on the basis Of the present facilities
for production, in which shortage of certain classes of
steel cuts an important figure, the production of binders
will be $4,000 less this year than normal. The average
cut of a binder is placed at so acres. Hence the conclus-
ion is reached that uness machine production can be in
creased the crop area will necessarily be reduced by L.
100000 acres. resulting in a loss Of more than 20. ooo,-
grain.
This does not follow. 1t Is only in rare cases that
the binder is used through the harvesting season to IT'S
full capacity. In almost all cases there is some slack
which can be taken up. There Is to be considered not
alone the machine itself, but the available horse power
and man power. II these latter are available one binder
may. in an emergency. be made to do very much more
than Its normal share Of work In a season. Hence, while
it is desirable that the binder production be brought up
to its ordinary level II possible. failure to do this does
not necessarily mean the loss of a large area Of crop.

PRESS ENSORSHI

There is in operation now, without the enactment
OF any law on the subject, a press censorship which,
within the field Of its operation, is effective, and which
works without trouble or friction. It is a censorship "by
request and it is giving very general satisfaction, Ev-
cry day the Associated Press, for instance, transmits to
it's members the request from some department of the
government that no mention be made Of this or that fact
which has an important military bearing, or that refer
ences to certain facts be made only within certain limit.
Quite often the matter which is requested to be with
held is of a character which would make very interest
ing reading. That makes no difference. While no at
tempt ds made to enforce the requests made, newspapers,
80 far as we know, have compiled with them instantly
and gladly.
Newspapers generally seek to promote the Interests
OF the public. They are quite ready for the time being
to waive their function as purveyors of news when the
news, If published, might be of service to the country's
enemies. And, while DESTROYS Of cooperating with the
government Of their country in the fullest possible meas
ure in this way. they are equally insistent on their
right to criticise where criticism can be USED construc-
lively.
Every loyal American desires to support his govern
ment in the performance Of its work. That sentiment
often involves support Of methods which the individual
would not have chosen. But the loyal citizen seeks to
avoid in every way possible the hampering of his govern
ment by making irrelevant objectionsA Constructive
criticism IL a different thing, and no wise government
Will seek to suppress 1t.
