FREEDOM OF sPEEcu

The infliction of severe uehalhes for seditious utterances hers nd in other Alaska communities shoDib have a salutary effect upon those who are so thoughtless or so ignorant as to think the present time propitious for airing their lack of patriotism
 Freedom of speech, one of the great. est heritages of American eiaz.rs is for the time practically susnanded, and this fact must be impressed upon those of alien allegiance as well as those whose added brains have been filled with theories of Government antagonistic to our own. For the time being the United States is a standing army, composed of avery citizen living under the Star and Stripes. And in a military govern ment 1t is necessary that orden should be obeyed. One of these orders is that seditious utterances and seaitlous acts will not be tolerated.
 Restriction of the right of freq speech, even in war time, is rspulsIve to Americans, and Is undertaken solely as war measure. But our peo- pie must remember that in lands where militarism is in control these restrictions are ever in forca

THE MIXING MINISTER.
In Early Days the Minister Was Sup
posed to Be Little Concerned in Com
mon Things.

In the American communities OF an
earlier day the minister was figure set
apart: beloved, admired and respected,
but still Just little set apart from the
common concerns and daily walk of the
men His dress was separate, his manners
and speech were separate. Yet at the
same time, in spite of this remoteness,
he was the leader in all things, at least
in all things spiritual not only in religion
but in intellectual life. Most of the news
came from him and a large part of the
guidance-glidance in abstract thought,
in science, in literature even in politics.
The newspapers gradually put an end
to that. The EDITORS grasp Of the world
was far quicker and closer than the min
ister's could be- 4 glance at the printed
page every morning told men what was
happening round them, and they rapidly
formed the habit of taking their attitude
toward facts from editorial comment. The
minister had to learn from his paper, like
| the rest. 1t began to seem likely that
/ he would be left in his pulpit, high and
| dry
| To counterfeit the danger many minis
| tiers have tried to become men of the
world They have walked away from the
pulpit, put on sack coats, sack talk, sack
manners They discuss stock with the
| farmer and stocks with the broker, and
sometimes deal in both themselves. They
| try to shake off the clerical remotenesS
and to bring the spirit into the world
since the world no longer hastens to the
spirit Who shall say they are not right
Religion is surely nothing If not human
The religious calling ought to be the moSt
broadly and richly human of all calling'
on the earth; and the minister OF what
ever sect should make it his first duty
to understand the hearts of men.
Yet We feel that today some minister
tend to overdo the matter. They wan
to be men among other men so completed,
that they are indistinguishable. The.
never succeed The trained minister i
as sharply stamped with his calling a
the teacher Other men will always in
stinctively know him and treat him 70
what he is And it is well that he shOult
be so treated. After all, the minister
first and last the representative of Go,
and should be known as such We ma
and should talk with him about dali
concerns and common interests: yet h
should contrive so to talk about thos
things that, when we leave him, Co
should be in our thoughts for it'll
while at any rate.

RULES ON SERVICE STRIPES.

is some BURG"
Opinion Of One Of Many Soldiers Who
Enjoy Hospitality of Local
Red Cross Canteen.

Every person coming into Brattleboro
on trains from the south during the past
week must have been impressed by the
splendid service that the local Red Cross
canteen is doing in providing lunches and
smokes for returning soldiers and sailors.
Trainmen notify the boys that free food
awaits them at the Brattleboro canteen,
which has been established III the tele-
graph office of the old station, and if any
one doubts that the boys appreciate it he
has only to be on hand when the boys,
sometimes as many as 40 or 80, pile of
the train.
A Brattleboro man coming home on the
late train last evening noticed a stir
among the many soldiers aboard as the
train approached this station, and reports
the following conversation:
"Come on, Jack, line up for chow" said
one doughboy to another.
Nothing doing" said the second party
I'm broke"
THAT makes no difference in this burg,
| said the first as the train slowed down.
A few minutes later as the soldiers
were preparing to continue their journey
northward the boy who had complained
of being broke said to his pal:
Say, Joe, what's the name OF this
town, anyway"
"Brattleboro. VT" was the answer.
| well" said the soldier, "it's some burg
I'll say that for it"

The Good Done Unto us.

We speak much of the duty Of do
ing good to others, but too often we
forget to count the good that others
are continually doing TO us. Inten-
tionally or unintentionally. In kind
ness. in selfishness, in carelessness,
they press upon us on every hand, and
our lives are shaped and nodded by
those about us. Even the unreason-
able and uncongenial-where we fancy
the benefit is all of our bestowing-
may be wonderful teachers of sanity
and patience.

contention does not help matters of
