THE SEDITION BILL.

The Sedition Bill of the administ-
ration, now before Congress, should
be defeated. 1t is well enough to
protect our country from the acts Of
of spies and alien enimies, and the
American people will not offer any
objection to this class of legislation.
The present Bill goes too far; it de-
stroys the Constitutional privileges
of Free Speech and Free Press. 1t
may not be the purpose Of the admin
istration to protect themselves from
criticism through the agency of this
measure, but the fact remains, that
the Interpretation of the law will be
left entirely in the hands Of the de-
partment of Justice.
The war now is the property Of the
American people. They realize that
We must win this war, and that foi
US to be successful, there must be no
concealment of inefficiency Of its off.
cials or departments. We will win
the war with the thorough eoopera-
tion of our people and their frank
criticism. There must be no cloak
of secrecy around any official in this
Country.
Rather than destroy Constitutional
Government in this Country, il would
prove better, that we Jail OF intern the
foreigners whom we suspect of sedi-
tion or disloyalty rather than put ouI
own people under restraint. 1t is un-
necessary TO suspend civil govern
ment as war measure The people
of the South are not responsible for
the horde of foreigners who have
been permitted to assume the privi-
leges of American citizenship or To

SENATOR VARDAMAN

comments on the fact that Mr. Var

people 10 buy Liberty Bonds, and
that Pat Harrison and Ex-Governor
Noel, from the public rostrum, are
also urging our people to invest.
Senator Vardaman knows that we
must win the war. II is true that he
endeavored to prevent our paltieipa-
tion in the conflict; tried TO save mil
lions of young Americans from the
Battlehelds Of Europe and billions of
dollars to the country. yet, when our
country entered the war, he has 10y.
ally supported the government in its
demands for men and money.
Whether or not a representative
is to be condemned for trying 10
save his people from war, will be
disclosed by the election returns in
August next
Senator Vardaman has remained
at his post in Washington, and will
until Congress adjourns or takes a
recess. Pat Harrison has made
public addresses in Wisconsin, TO
bring the State in line with the ad-
ministration, which is commendable,
but the State went Republican by
10000 majority. We wonder if this
is a forecast.
