Dakota, defining seditious utterances
I and activities, contains sumo provisions
which have attracted the attention Of
Senator Borah, always a vigllant and
powerful champion Of the legitimate
liberties Of the press
We find in the text OF the Sterling
bin a clause which seems TO make 10
unlawful for any person 10
advise or advocate a change in the form
Of, government or the Constitution Of
the United States or resistance 10 the
authority thereof, or by force or viO-
lence or by physical injury TO person or
property or by force or violence 20 pre-
vent. hinder or delay the execution OF
any law OF the United States
This is so clumslly drawn that It
obviously requires amendment. We
cannot suppose that Senator Sterling
seriously proposes 10 subject 10 crimi-
nal prosecution any citizen who adj
Vises or advocates o change in the
Constitution Of the United States for
the proposal and advocacy Of c0nsti-
tutional amendments are among the
highest and most firmly established
functions OF good citizenship. He would
probably say that the prohibition in
question applied only TO the forcible or
violent proposal and advocacy Of con-
stitutlOnal amendment: but our recOl-
lection OF the history Of constitutional
amendments does not indicate much
danger OF the sort described as 20 that
process OF governmental change, what
ever might be the case as TO revolu-
tiOnary assaults upon or resistance OF
authority. The muddle Of language
here needs to be cleared up.
Much more important Is that section
of the Sterling bill which appears 10
establish the POstmaster-Ciene
through the power TO debar newspapers
and oth'r publications from the mails,
in an absolute censorship OF the odious
sort described by Blackstone and con-
demned by Story. Neither in the per-
son Of POstmaster-General BurlesOn
nor Of any other executive officer Is the
free press OF America prepared to ac-
cept in time OF peace a censor eXercis-
ing practically war powers Of judgment
and suppression. To shake an executive
and an executive officer very
often, like Burleson, surcharged with
the energies OF partianship, the final
be mailable IN the way OF political dis
oussion is TO invest that person with a /
power Of prior restraint" !
or previous restraint" in the sense in !
which the commentators we have |
quoted above have used the terms.
The maintenance Of the constitutional /
freedom Of the press is one Of the very |
first duties OF Congress. No law should !
be passed which abrldges, directly or |
that guaranteed freedom.
Borah, always, as The Sun has
said. among the foremost in jealous re-
gard for the preservation Of the rights
of free and responsible utterance, does
well to turn his attention TO the Ster-
ling bill, not because that measure \
makes unlawful the advocacy Of force
and violence for the accomplishment Of
political, economic or industrial 4
changes. but because it practically l
makes the ascertainment Of such legal
ty the function Of a censor and not the
Iuty Of court.

The Submarine [ ability
(From The Now York Tribune.)

The question why the submarine
failed is the subject Of searching in
quiries, both official and unofficial in
Germany, which now thinks the war
was lost by the submarine, that its
employment brought in America and
alienated neutral sympathies and en-
ergized the Allies But 1t is TO be noted
that what the Germans seem 10 de-
plore is not HAT tho e"bmarine was
ruthless, but that it failed.
What appals the German people
most is their realization that their
demigods did not know their business.
only the other day the German public
was startled by the official admission
that the German Admiralty never even
knew how many submarines IL pos
sessed, in spite Of the fact, mercilessly
emphasized by Captain Perius, that
keeping tab on the submarine was a
mere matter OF Office routine.
Additional revelations concerning the
lneillclency Of the supposed supermen
are now made by Herr Georg Gothein
a democratic member of the National
Assembly and formerly minister in
Schedemann's Cabinet Herr GOlhein
makes the point that but for the stu
pidity and interdepartmental petty
jealousy displayed by the officials OF
the German naval administration the
submarine might actually have won the
war, and might have done so even
without violating international law,
simply by a kind Of cruiser warfare.
The weapons Of the submarine Herr
Gothein writes, are the gun and the
torpedo tube, and one is as important
as the other Had the Germans mounted
SS-millimeire guns on the submarines

at the beginning OF the war, when
English merchantmen We're unarmed
and no way Of dealing with the sub
marine peril had been devised, the sub
marines could have destroyed so
much tonnage that England would have
soon been eager to sue for peace"
The first period Of the submarine
warfare showed That the guns mounted
on submarines were too few and too
light, although their shells had de-
stroyed as many ships as their tor
pedOes. The German "U-bOat inspec-
ton" demanded the sS-millimetre guns,
but the ordnance department of the
Ministry of Marine forbade contractors
to submit any plans for cannon to the
U-bOat inspection, which was a mere
sub-department. Vainly the U-boat in
spectiOn demonstrated that the other
departments knew nothing about sub
marines; the ordnance department sim
ply forbade its subordinate TO "med-
ole" Tirpitz himself was at a loss.
He said 1T is questionable whether
smaller caliber would not suffice for
the results desired" Later the minis
try gave way, but it did so g. adually
and grudgingly, so that a number Of
submarines changed guns three times
In the meantime the merchantmen
of the Entente were equipped with f02
and i25 mlllimetre guns. 10 was not
until 1916 that i05s were granted TO
the German submarines. Even then
the number actually mounted was ex-
actly three-One at Wilhelmshaven and
two at pola. The reason was the Bat
tie of Jutland scared the German Ad-
miralty into withdrawing the loss
from the submarines and alloting them
to torpedo boats.

OH. FIELD OPERATIONS TO
BEGIN AGAIN.

We are pleased to announce that
Just as soon as the necessary
pipes arrive here, the New Iberia
Oil Co. under the management OF
Mr.. Alphonse Davis will again be-
gin active operation in what is
known as the Little Bayou Oil
Field. 1t is true that thousands
Of dollars has been expended By
the Gulf Oil Co. and other con-
Germs seeking to get the fluid in
paying quantities and first one well
and then another was sunk at
great expense. Then the war
came on md price of material rose
TO such an extent that all opera
ti0ns ceased despite the fact
that the field is a proven one. Now
that things are again normal, the
stockholders Of the New Iberia Oil
Co. are determined to go after the
huid and bring it out in paying
quantities. We feel hopeful this
will lead to great activity again
in this field just as soon as the
roads will permit heavy hauling.
Once oil Is obtained in paying
quantities there is no doubt the
same activity that prevailed there
once will be in evidence again and
char Niorr liberia will take on the
same life it did when the field was
in full blast.
