tory, which will be done. If they
are properly discussed now the fu-
ture historian can get viewpoint OF
which no one gets at the present
time
Aside from that the greatest bull
wark of the American government is
its free speech and its freedom OF
the press. No one is going to deli
berately try to arouse American peo-
pie against their own government
either in speech or in editorials. The
government should beware that ii
does not, thru censorship laws, arouse
the enmity of its own people against
itself. An open discussion of any
subject finally develops the facts re-
lative to that subject. The fact that
the administration is trying to curb
criticism indicates that it is fearful
of the results of the facts in con.
nection with our entrance into this
war. Senator Thomas, Senator Bor-
as and Senator Johnson are justified
in the fight they are making against
the administrations measure.
If the administration will stop try
ing to suppress public criticism thru
the press and will come out frankly
and state just what it wants in the
way of men and money, we believe
it will get them.
During the Spanish-American war
the criticism against President Nc
Kinley and the administration was
something terrific; by reason of that
criticism Senator Teller of Colorado
succeeded in placing In the Declara-
ton of War three words; mot for
conquest and those three words were
in time pronounced the foundation up
on which America waged that war
and came out unsullied as between
the nations. Neither President Nc
kinney nor any leader of the admin
lstration attempted to stop in any
way the criticism either of the press
or Of public speakers. In the midst
of the criticism Americas young man
hood flocked to the oolors by the
The same will be true in this war.
An American, wherever he is, wants
to express his opinion. Washington
ought to realize this and use it to
advantage Pueblo Chieftain.

THE MATTER or CENSORSHIP

Those who have charge of raising
the army that win be required, of
selling the bonds and of creating the
necessary enthusiasm to produce vic
tory to American arms, should be
very careful in the manner in which
they go about their work. America
has approximately one hundred mil
lion people, seventy million Of whom
are able to think for themselves and
each of whom has different idea
as to what caused the war, who start
cd II, how we could have kept out
Of It and what we should do to end

il. Irrespective of these seventy mil
lion ideas we believe that all Amer
leans are unit on the proposition
that there is nothing to do now but
To present such formidable array
Of finance, men and patriotism as
will win. However, not one of these
seventy million ideas wants to be or
will stand for being curbed in his
right to free speech and in his right
to criticise, not only those whom he
believes TO be responsible for our
present situation, but the future acts
Of our administration.

American arms more than to attempt

Is FROM BANGOR
AT R. r. SHOPS
AT VAUDEVILLE

For the first time since the strike OF
railroad men started there were some real
new developments in the situation Tues
day when, as result of the visit OF
Manager Douglass to Bangor. Is men APP
peared from that city Tuesday morning
on the o'clock train. They were hus-
tied into cars and taken to the shops but
not before some of them had been inter-
viewed by several of the strikers. These
men, it is understood, said that they had
been lied to by the management and that
they would work Tuesday and would not
come back again. Also they promised
that the management would not greatly
profit by their days work. The strikers
held their usual meeting during the day
and in the afternoon about 40 of them
marched up College avenue in body and
camped in front of the shops for time,
but every man refrained from entering
upon railroad property and nothing was
said to the men who were working. In
the evening the men remained at the
shops and Train No. Is, going east about
o'clock, stopped at the shops for them
and took them back home to Bangor. In
the opinion of some Of the men who are
out, and at least one other man who has
talked with them. they will not be seen
In Waterville again. AS for the local
men who are out, there is not the slight
est indication that they will break. All
Of them claim to be contented to stay out
all summer IL necessary. The local fore
men who are taking the places of the
strikers so far as possible are reported to
be about worn out.
