Spirit Shown by American Press
Since United States Entered War
Is Praised by Secretary Daniels

few violations OF the voluntary cen
Sorship have in most cases been due
not to any disposition to aid Ger
many, but to the anxiety for a
scoop. But some of these new beats
have been achieved at a risk we'
should not have incurred. Il Tie
cablegrams telling OF the arrivals
OF the first transports with
Pershing's men were published by
few papers when there were other
vessels of that expedition still in the
war zone, facing the danger of at
tacks by submarines, and this pre-
mature publication, which might
have given the German L boat COM
manders information that there
were other transports following,
caused anxious hours before the last
OF those vessels reached port.
The press understands, and most
OF them act upon the principle, that
when country is engaged in for
eign war the president becomes the
spokesman Of the nation. When
executive action becomes necessary
in any and every measure for the
successful conduct of the war, the
world must know that the president
IS asserting the will of the nation
which the people have decreed must
be executed by force of arms. Party
differences are overcome by the
logic OF the necessity OF national
unity. An attack upon the presi-
dents foreign policy in war raises
the question not only of ethics but
one of loyalty to the government
of which he is the chosen spokes-
man.
Freedom of the Press.
1t may be asked if the press, in
time OF war, is to think more of up
holding the hands OF the govern
ment than of scoring scoops and
vigorously assailing government Of
hcialS, what is to become of in
dlvidual opinion, of freedom of
speech, and the freedom of the
press To be sure, free speech and
tree press are two of our most
precious possessions. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that liberty in
this respect is at all times restricted
by the manifest rights of others.
Liberty OF speech and liberty of the
press in attack upon the govern
ment in times of war can never be
permitted to weaken the authority
OF the nations responsible head in
dealing with foreign power. The
rights OF the whole people, as it
were, restrict individual freedom OF
speech and the freedom of the press
in international matters, though
free and unrestrained in the discus
sion OF internal politics.
Fortunately there exists, and has
always existed, between the best
representatives of the press and
wise public officials an appreciation
OF the reciprocal duties in times of
war. No public official in a free
country has the right to deny to the
press, the only quick medium of
reaching the people, any item of in
tromation that can be given without
Jeopardizing national interests. And.
when there is information, the pub
hcation OF which might strain in
ternational negotiations or jeopar-
die victory in war, the wise Off
cial takes the responsible press rep
resentatiyes into his confidence.

A DREAM OF SUMMER.

With all its sunshine bright.
Every morn birds sweet song
Heavens of stars at night =

Winter dreams Of summer sweet

Music-like restless bird

For spring dreams of the summe

And so we bear the wintry strife
While stormy seasons roll,
Because there comes a sweeter life
The summer of the soul!
And life shall messages repeat

LABOR FIGHTS PRUSSIAN-
ISM.

Chickasha Express: A declaration
issued by the executive council of
the American Federation OF Labor,
Washington, comes out emphatic
ally in favor OF the war aims for
which America is fighting. The
statement says in part:
we are face to face with a
world crisis. We are in a world
struggle which will determine for
the immediate future whether prin-
ciples of democratic freedom or
principles OF force shall dominate.
The decision will determine not
only the destiny Of nations, but OF
ever ycommunity and OF every in
dividual. No life will be untouched.
Either the principles of free dem
ocracy or PruSsian militaristic au-
tocracy will prevail. There can be
no compromises. so there can be
no neutrality among nations or indi-
viduals--we must stand up and be
counted with one cause or the
other. For labor there is but one
choice.
The hope OF labor lies in oppor-
tunity for freedom. The workers
OF America will not permit them
selves to be deceived or deceive
themselves into thinking the fate
of the war will not vitality change
their own lives. A victory for Ger
many would mean a Pan-German
empire dominating Europe and ex-
ercising a world balance of power
which Germany will seek to extend
by force into world control.
This is labor's war. Ii must be
won by labor and every stage in
the fighting and the inal victory
must be to count for humanity.
That result only can justify the aw.
full sacrifice.
I'VE present these matters to the
workers OF free America, confident
ly relying upon the splendid spirit
and understanding which has made
possible present progress, to enable
us to fight a good fight and to es-
tablish principles OF freedom
throughout the whole world. We
regret that circumstances make i'm
possible close personal relations be-
tween the workers of America and
those OF the allied countries, and
that we can not have representation
in the inter-allied labor conference
about to convene in London.
Their cause and purpose are our
cause and purpose. We can not
meet with representatives of those
who are aligned against us in this
world war for freedom, bat we hope
they will sweep away the barriers
which they have raised between us.
Freedom and the downfall of autoc-
racy must come in middle Europe.
We doubly welcome the change if
it comes through the workers Of
those countries.
"Whilc this war shall last we shall
be working and fighting shoulder to
should with fellow workers of Great
Britain, France and Italy. We ask
the workers OF Russia to make COM
mon cause with us, for our purpose
is their purpose that finally the free
dom lovers OF all countries may
make the world safe for all peoples
to live in freedom and safety"

Good merchants seldom deliver
their goods in black packages Even

Toryism would maintain the es-
tablished order; democracy would
invite the maid of all work to the
family councils and the common

maid in the parlor and relegate the
family to the kitchen and the coal
bin.
People don't like the sad, solemn,
sorrowful stuff. They like the

following:
We OF the British mission have a
common heart interest ir the muir
derous effort OF the Germans to
strike at the British transport ship,
manned by British crew and carry
ing American soldiers. Again we
are OF Britain and America united
by a German blow as dastardly as
was the sinking OF the Lusitania.
IhSi will remind us that we have
ahead of US the great testing time.
1t should be borne in upon all OF
us that we shall have to face the
stern facts OF a situation which
must arouse the United States to
the greatest possible effort, We
must not browse in complacent ex-
pectation OF inevitable victories. We
must to the last man and woman
put forth our efforts TO meet the
enemy in France and on all fronts
in force great enough to insure vic
tory Men for the British lines are
needed. Now they must 90 for
ward il they shall be ready to smash
the German attack. We shall win,
but we shall win by supreme effort.
Now has come the time Tor that SUI
preme effort.
Now we must find enough OF the
100000 Britons and Canadians will
ing to go as hundreds OF thousands
have gone to fight with the great
est military efforts the world has
ever seen.
Germany has on the west front
an appalling number OF divisions
of trained men. We can defeat,
drive and crush that array, but we
must make 4 supreme effort now
to do it.
Where are the 100000 who claim
ed citizenship with Britain but have
not volunteered to fight with Brit
i'll, although that fight means the
preservation OF civilization and the
despair OF autocratic domination of
all the world and its peoples? ? Why
do they not come forward by the
thousands, as the Canadians did at
the outset OF this war? Are they
coming ? If they have waited, let
he sinking OF the Tuscania be sig
nal to them to come forward. We
must so on or go under. We can
not go under, so we must carry on
and now is the hour in which to do
t. The depots OF the British-C Cana
dian Recruiting Mission are open
day and night to receive the volun-
teers in all large cities of the United
States. Chicago has an array Of
Britain's sons who have not vet
dropped al lother ayocations as
they should and must get into the

We must stop the Hun and do
