THe CENSORSHIP DEAD.

With the death OF the censorship in
the house yesterday came an end to a
measure wholly un-American and de-
testable from every right viewpoint.
We do not believe 1t had the sympa-
thetic interest OF more than a handful
Of the presidents supporters who
voted for It. There comes a place
where mistaken sense of party 10y
atty must be checked and when this
ID reached It Is time to put away the
blacksnake whip at the White House.
We are engaged In a war to enlarge
the sphere OF human rights; not to
narrow It. A free press is the bed
rock of liberty. It Is the weapon Of
the people against autocracy. Any eff
fort to gag 1t may properly arouse
suspicion that all Is not well at the
seats of authority.
This war is not to be conducted be.
hind closed doors. When things go
wrong there must be a searchlight to
show. the hidden by paths. That can
be done by the press alone. There
must be no beauracratic agents in
newspaper offices with authority to
suppress that which does not please
their masters at Washington.
The newspapers have alrendy shown
their desire to conform with any reg
ulations fixed by the government for
the publication OF news affecting the
best interests of the country. That
they will continue to do but that Is all.
II Is well that congress has killed this
vicious measure. The consequences
otherwise might have been serious for
all concerned.

The experiment of the fish and
game commission In introducing the
chinook salmon to Montana waters
will be watched with great interest.
If the propagation of this fine. game
edible fish is successful great deal
will have been accomplished for sports :
men as well as for food production
As the chinook salmon has grown to
a weight Of twenty pounds in the
Maine lakes it is believed that sim
liar success can be had in F1athead
Lake Mcdonald and st. Regis lakes
which have been stocked. There |. q
theory that an acre of water can pro
duce as much food as an acre of land
II this works out In practice there
will be less talk of food famines.

THE MORNING SMILE.
Who lauuhs Best.

VINO Laughs BEST.
Happy indeed. is the man who can
chortle.
Laugh or guffaw in agreeable style.
Seldom is found such a fortunate
mortal,
Most of us scarcely can pleasantly
smile;
Yet even more do we envy the party
Though he be portly or though he
be slim,
Who has a laugh that is actually
hearty
When the Joke Is on him!
Some have litter for all whom they
tackle,
Some people gargle their mirth a
good deal.
Some people laugh with a sort Of a
cackle.
Some OF them laugh with sort OF
squeal:
Some only laugh when they're slipping
the Ticker
Out OF the troublesome Bowl with
the Brim.
But. oh for the laugh of the lad who
can smoker
When the joke Is on him!
Laughter Is said to have cxcellen,
uses,
When 1t is thoughtful and decent
and kind.
II is n tonic that often conduces
To 4 salubrious state OF the mind,
1t will rid troubles and worries l,
smothers,
1t will chase feelings of fretfulnes.
too,
And the best is the laughter you shar
with the others,
When the laugh Is on you!

CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS"


will encounter much embarrassment
and perhaps serious obstacles from the
campaign of pacifists which is still
going on. These misguided people are
doing vast amount of harm by rails
ing the question OF peace terms at
this time and demanding that the
president announce what may be ex-
pected to be the attitude of this gov
eminent after the war. Seemingly
their purpose is to bring the war to
an early close, but actually they are
making the way to peace more diff
ficult
There will be no time to talk peace
until the offer comes from Germany.
The great patience Of the president,
in a long period of endurance of viola.
tons Of international law as well as
Of insults to the flag, was brought
to an end by the Germans themselves;
they are responsible for. this war.
Peace will be arranged when they
guarantee the safety of American cit
liens and abandonment of their sub
marine campaign along with salts
factory reparation for the loss that
they have caused this country The
suggestion of peace terms on the part
of this government now. as these
pacifists advise, would not merely be
sign OF humiliating weakness; 1t
would be n betrayal of the interests
of our allies. who are fighting for the
liberty Of mankind against domination
by Prussianisn.
The right Of free speech in our land
Is guaranteed by the constitution. 1t
Is cornerstone of our system of gov
eminent and must never be disturbed.
There must be no interferences with
gatherings such as that at Madison
Square Garden in New York on
Wednesday night, even though the
purpose Of the meeting was to chill
patriotic influence in the country.
There Is a wide difference between the
right of free speech and n license of
! free speech. The laws provide a rem
edy for such free speech as encourages
treason in time of war. The pacifists
at their meeting kept within the line
| though there can be no doubt of their
harmful influence.
Like c,jticiu,p arnln, xho .,.>~n
ganda of the American Union against
| Militarism which has just issued a
! round robin urging conscientious OBJ
Jectors" to register on June 5. but at
the same time to file u claim for ex-
emption on the grounds Of conscien-
tious opposition to war. This Is
| rather superfluous since the law COM
pels registration and fixes Il penalty
| for violation. The law also will take
no cognizance of conscientious oh.
lection" to military service. The
! Quakers. whose creed is very exact In
| this matter, have shown their patriot
ism by advising their young men no,
| to join their church until after the
war.
The absurdity Of the claims OF the
pacifists to impress on the country
conscientious objection" is appa rent
! If such claims are recognized !,
| would open the way to slackers from
every direction.
! The work Of these people should
be discouraged by public sentiment
Indignation meetings of protest should
be held and everything done to kill
this insidious peace movement at this
time.

! One Of the sad results of the Rus
sian revolution win be the loss to play
wrights and novelists of the thrilling
nihilist plots. The London Globe is es-

The Globe says:
Czarism having vanished from the
Russian scheme. we are preparing to
take leave of several friends long en-
deared to us by many a novel and
short story. We shall miss Olga. the
beautiful Nihilist, very much. She had
30 many tones of voice. but her chief
tones were either languorous or tense
The former was used when she was
striving to fascinate the tall young
Englishihan from the embassy in Pc

The health is ungrateful at times
and the more you do for it the less
1t seems to appreciate it. Some people
are always doing something for their
health. but II their health is aware of
1t it never let's on. The sun shines in
the daytime when 1t is light anyway
and We don't need it, and it is just SO
with the health. The health deserts
us when we need it most and with
plenty OF health most anyone could
pun through a long illness. II you
have a friend who Is weak and sickly
always tell him to perk up. Tell him
what he needs is more exercise. Tell
him you're sorry to see him looking
80 poorly. Sick people like these little
attentions. II YOU have no more health
than you need ii is always pleasant to
meet some one who has less than you
have. You always brighten up and
feel like telling him he needs more
fresh air unless someone comes along
who has lots more health than either
OF you. 1t Is too bad to have little
health. but it is not so bad as no
health at all.
