A DEAD PROPOSITION

- The proposition evolved by the Dem
ocratic State Committee. looking 10 4
sssottening Of the political asperities in
the coming fall elections, has already
been characterized by The Intelligen-
ker as being framed on lines of imper-
Sinence rather than on the loyal. lib
teral spirit that invested the first sus-
sgestion. Supposed to De sprinsins
from motives Of very commendable
sort, the peace offer as composed by
the committee more resembles one
Sof those German frontier rectifca-
sions" schemes. and that is why the
general sentiment throughout the
State has crystallized into opposition
TO any parley on the part OF the Re.
publicans. Obviously. there can be no
acceptance of a proposition Of the
character that is offered that singles
but two DISTINGUISHED Republicans
land proscribes them from inclusion in
any agreement that might bc con-
secluded.
J The whole matter. since i; reached

From tho Lnkcs 10 tho Mexican border,
From Maine 70 the Golden Gate.
There is drumming and marching and

Through every giant state.

With the sun on the carth'S wild" rim;

And in ali her ports and rivers.
In building yards and slips.

On the ribs Of her rising ships.
She is forging mighty armies
To fight in = war for peace:
They shall leave her shores in th"uH-

To strike till tho sword shall cease

FOR RECKLESS TAKERS

The espionage and Sedition acts
should have general circulation
throughout the country, for if their
provisions were known il would prod
ably keep man. foolish people out OF
trouble. The penalties prescribed oy
these two war measures are drastic
enough to discourage anyone from de-
frinc the law. They were made nee
essarr by the activity Of the German
propasandists. the Kaisers spies and
tho raging OF loud-mouthrd soap-ooX
orators and other irresponsible de-
tractors Of the government That the
acts are held in fear by former Of
tenders who had come to be preach
ers of practical sedition is evidenced
bv the fact that the leaders OF the
radical element of Socialists have
called Il meeting to revoke their 81
Louis platform. whose declarations
are inimical uttcrances under the Sc
di.ion act. This is quite gracetui
tribute to the majesty OF the law 10
come from such a quarter.
It would be we'll for all persons who
are gifted with loQuacious tongues and
foolish minds 10 inform themselves as
TO how far they can 80 with safety
b. learning the provisions OF these
acts. especially the sedition act. which
taboos criticism calculated TO demean
the government or stir up opposition
Ia it's mandates. This. Of course. does
not refer 10 any just or competent
criticism OF Presidential or Congress
sinnal acts. but 10 disturbing talk that
is likely 10 promote unrest among Inc
pcoplp. or foment movements cascu'
lated TO give aid ana comfort TO the
enemy. Many reckless persons get
into trouble through ignorance OF the
law and unbridled tongues. but that
excuses no man Acquaintance" with
,ncsc soGition aud espionage acts may
save some OF these from very unpleaS-
ant experiences.

MUST STAY ON THE JOB

According 10 yesterdays Washing
ton adviccs. the administration will
insist on Congress formulating Il new
revenue bill, which means. Of course
an increase in taxes. Chairman kitch'
in, Of the Ways aud Means Commit
tee. and Chairman Simmons. Of the
Senate Finance Committee. have been
reported TO be in accord against add
tional revenue legislation. saying that
the matter of more money can wait.
but Secretary McAdoo has just in
formed Congress that more billions
must be immediately provided. AS
the Secretary OF the Treasury is
backed By the President. Kitchin. SIM
mons and others will have 10 change
their minds. |! is not likely that Mr.
McAdoo would ask for the money II II
were not needed.
Not being able 10 effecr an adjourn
ment July l, as was programmed
will BE- sad disappointment to many
members of Congress. OF course. 1t
is much more important that Demo-
cratic Congressmen who will have to
fight for reelection should be released
from their duties to attend TO their
campaigns than it is to provide ade-
ouate revenues for the carrying on or
the war.
Wholly aside from the cmergent
character Of the present situation with
regard to the finances is the larger
question whether Congress should be
at any time. while the war is on, TOT
a long time absent from Washington
Events move with such Kaleidoscope
rapidity nowadays that no one can tell
what may be brought forth over night;
and while we know that ii is trench
dously important to Democratic Con-
gressmen that they shall have ample
time TO defend themselves in tho field
Of politics. we still think it is more
important that the nations business
be attended to.

A CASE IN POINT

Burlesons challenge to Col Roose-
Welt. to produce evidence to sustain
the charge that loyal. but critical pub
LEGATIONS have been embarrassed by the
government. was accepted more
promptly than the Postmaster General
probably looked for, when the Colonel
adduced the case of the Metropolitan
Magazine, where all the evils OF the
espionage and sedition bills were to
be seen In their lowest form. The
Metropolitan Magazine found one OF
lis issues held for nine days at the
New York postofflce as unmallablc,
upon nothing more than the opinion
of the postmaster at that city. And.
though the Postmaster General dis
avowed the act OF his subordinate. no
effort was made to remove the smirch
upon the Metropolitan's reputation
which the incident involved.
If postmasters everywhere are to be
enabled TO proceed in so summary a
manner. there will bee many village
postoffces which will soon be- cloSEed
with issues OF the local journal which
the local censor will pronounce un'
mailable-hccause the record shows
that il Is often the small postmaster
who seems to think himself the en-
bodiment OF the genius OF the govern
mcnt. and that whatever he disap'
proves is, ipso facto, reasonable
