End of Censorship

American newspaper have just
passed through an interesting phase
of their experience, in the censor
ship on certain forms of war news,
which has now been ended. 1t
testifies to the honor of the news
paper fraternity that so few news
papers have broken the require
ments of this censorship, in reveal
ing troop movements and other
military facts.
To a newspaper man who got
hold of an interesting piece of mil
itary news, there was tremendous
temptation to use it. He makes
his bread and butter by the collect
ine and printing of news. To ask
him not to print anything he gets
hold of, is like asking a farmer not
to sell his grain, or manufacturer
to give away his product.
Many newspaper people who got
hold of military news might often
argue that the publication of il
would make no difference. They
would figure that the German spies
probably knew it already. Yet in
spite of this feeling and the tempta.
ton to use such news, little com.
plant is made that the newspapers
broke faith. 1t has been just the
same in this as in all phases Of
newspaper work. Newspaper peo-
pie know a great deal they never
print. and few of them break a con-
fidence
This good faith in the long run is
good policy for newspapers. The
reporter who breaks it may score q
few interesting scoops But he des
troys his reputation for trustworthi
ness and ends by having few friends
Censorship is unwelcome to the
America mind. Under a tree press
many wrong and foolish things are
said, Yet these hurt the people
who say them more than anyone
else. And the free press exposes
an enormous amount of wrong do
ing, and is a terror to dishonest
people. The free press is a com
munity policy force.
Monroe City Democrat., 1918-12-06
Food Saving We X

This week has been named as
Food Saving Week. Many will ask
how they possibly can save any
more than have been AS usual
their appeal will induce some con-
cientious folks, who already have
tinted themselves all that could be
asked. to 60 actually hungry. Mean
W hile many lavish families who
are little influenced by public ap-
p eals. will continue having their
abundant tables.
There are many ways in which
further savings could be made
H otels and restaurants should offer
very simple and limited menus
The public should not make COM
plant. A few staples well cooked
will be far more popular than lavish
displays with Indifferent cookery
There is no sense in offering
patrons half dozen kinds of meet
W hen one or two would serve all
needs.
The masses of the people handled
food sparingly last winter on &C.
co unit of high prices. They will do
so again. They need only to be
urged to be careful of the remnants.
The thrifty French people would
live on what we feed our pigs.
Families of comfortable and
a abundant means who live well and
think much of the pleasures of the
table, should be ashamed to be law
iSh in these times.
The food outlook in the world at
large is very bad. Millions of acres
of land have been devastated with
Se ed supplies. farm machinery, and
all live stock destroyed. While
r ussia is in the hands Of a gang OF
ru ffians, millions OF well meaning
and industrious people in that coun-
try are starving. 1t will pay to feed
these people and thereby win their
friendship and head off the intrignes
of the Germans. People who waste
food while these heart rendine
co nditions exist have little human
sympathy.
Monroe City Democrat., 1918-12-06
How to Assure Peace

The great problem is how to set.
tie affairs in Germany so that that
nation will never again start a war
of conquest. We can not forever
keep troops there. We may take
away their feet and level their for
tifications, but they can build new
There must be some change of
spirit.
1t is still an open question how
far the course of the German people
has been due to the evil purposes
of their own hearts, or to the decep.
tions practiced upon them by their
rulers. But anyway they have
from the beginning been given a
garbled and false version of the war
and its origin.
If the Germans knew the whole
truth about this war, and about the
events that shall succeed it as time
goes on, they are much less likely
to start another.
The allies should now insist
upon a bona fide free press, 81
that any German paper that is
willing to tell the truth can freely
do so.
Then at the coming peace confer.
ence just and complete indict.
ment against Germany should be
presented. 1t brings out the clear
proof that Germany started the war
the rupture of treaties and agree.
ments. the perfidies of the German
spy system, the outrages of the
army and navy. the killing oI
women and babies, the whole story
of barbarity. Then the allied pow
ers should insist that this truthful
record be freely printed all ovel
G ermany, so that the truth can al
last come home.
Wicked and cruel as the Germans
have been. yet the truth is a very
powerful weapon. 1t would indeed
be surprising if many of them were
not convinced by the publication
of such a record. If the freedom
of the press is thoroughly establish
ed, it will not be so easy again fo
military leaders to sway the people
by their falsehoods.

About the Kilowatt

The Nodayway Forum published
at Maryville, takes the trouble to
define the word "kilowatt." The
kilowatt has been causing a good
deal of trouble in Missouri ever
since the organization of the Public
Service Commission, and the Mary
vile definition may be of interest.
Here it is:
A reader of this column asks
what is 'kilowatt' as used by the
ell ectric company. We are glad to
give the information. A kilowatt
is cross between a buzz saw and
cookie burr. 1t resembles a wart
and in warm weather it smells like
Hun. 1t has a habit of swelling
ut like quart of rice in a pint
cooking vessel. 1t is cousin to
the water meter. The latest has a
habit of stopping over. 1t has been
K nown when detached for repairs,
to measures up. 100000 gallons
while being taken to the repair shop.
Still a kilowatt is handy thing to
have in a family where milk is
scarce. 1t can also be used as a
tack hammer in putting down car
pets. 1t is not a safe thing for the
baby to play with, and keep it out
of reach of the cat
Monroe City Democrat., 1918-12-06

One current item of news says
that the total number of prisoners
captured by the Germans was
$4,000, and another asserts that
Germany has released 100000
prisoners. When the war was on
figures on prisoners lost and cap
tured never agreed, but why is the
old disagreement carried over into
these piping times?

Christmas Buying

There is a popular impression that
great national movements and pur-
poses must originate from and be
directed by Washington.
In most cases national achieve
ment results from individual efforts
made by communities like Monroe
City and multiplied indefinitely.
The nation has been told to mobi-
lize peace industries. Government
rest rictions limiting such activities
are being speedily removed, but the
consumm alton depends entirely on
citizens of places like Monroe City,
If manufactures are to find a
ready outlet for product among
W holesalers the latter must do the
same among retailers. What hap
pc ns to the retailers depends on you
and me.
The governments advise regard,
ing Christmas giving was delivered
when the war seem likely to last a
year. 1t stands today, but is modi.
fled by the stupendous happenings
of recent days.
If money circulates freely the
n ation prospers and jobs are plenti'
full. We must create this condition
before the boys come home, not
afterwards. Everything must be
ready for them.
Let us choose gifts judiciously
let us give without stint.

For Better Roads

In providing work for discharged
soldiers and sailors and munition
workers, road building offers solu-
ton of many problems. The United
States as a whole is behind most
foreign countries in the matter of
good highways. Poor roads are q
reason for high prices of farm pro-
duce in many cases. They are a
reason why more automobiles are
not purchased and used. They are
a reason for nesvy upkeep cost of
vehicles of all kinds. They are a
cause of many accidents. They are
a hindrance to suburban and coun-
try development; cause of low
prices Of real estate in country Sec
ton; reason, in short, for slower
development of national industry
and production than should be ex-
pected of country as progressive
as ours claims to be.
Colonel Robert H Tyndall OF the
150th Field Artillery, U. S. Army.
writing from France says: There
will be couple of million real road
war boosters when the war is over"
He speakes in glowing terms of the
splendid highways they found in
France comparing them much to
the detriment with the average
highway found in the United States.
In the same article containing
Colonel Tyndall's views, it was stat
ed that there is undoubtedly a big
road plan developing in this country.
Chairman George c. Diehl of the A.
A. A. Good Roads Board says: $780,
100000 year appropriated by the
Federal Government on a definite.
tangible highway system will work
wonders in the form of from 5000
to 10000 miles of splended highway
partly made up of sections already
sufficient in quality; partly in Sec
tions to repair; partly of sections re-
built and partly of entirely new
construction. State and local ap-
preparation should be encouraged
and the construction of federal roads
should enormously increase road ex-
penditures The thousands of other
wises unemployed labor can oe used
to the most excellent advantage in
this way"
The vast sums that would other
wise have been spent in destruction
can beneficially be expended for
highway construction TO the end
that trade may be increased be-
tween rural sections and urban
points. Hundreds of thousands of
returning soldiers and men that
have been employed in munition
manufacture can be employed pro-
fitably to themselves and to the
communities of which they are a
part in this highway work with the
result that tradesmen will enjoy ill.,
creased trade, laborers will be con-
tented, farmers will have more ac-
cessible markets and the community
as whole will enjoy increased pro-
sperity.

The American boys who hoped to
meet the Kaiser IN Berlin must be
sadly disappointed that he did not
remain there for an introduction to
them. Heresay knowledge of them
was probably all that he cared for
