that is, that isolated grocers charge a

Practically Unchanged

The league of nations, after having
undergone further revisions, shows no
change worthy of the name. None of
the faults uncovered by the patriotic
critics of the original constitution have
been eliminated in the document now
before us. Like its predecessor the
new constitution makes automatic the
declaration of war. 1t disregards the
mandates of the American Constitu-
ton by denying to Congress the right
to raise armies and navies, to declare
war, to regulate foreign commerce, to
provide for the common defense, and
to regulate immigration. 1t takes
from the Senate the Constitutional
power now possessed by that body to
pass finally on our treaties. In spite
of the fact that the words Monroe
Doctrine" appear in the document,
that famous principle is abandoned SO
far as any protection given to it by
the league is concerned. Under the
new draft our national sovereignty is
surrendered quite as thoroughly as
under the original text. In short,
while there have been some minor
changes in the verbiage, all Of the OBJ

Would Shoot British General

In declining to speak on the same
platform with British General who
had declared during the war that con-
ditions at the front had been misre-
presented to the British people, Ad-
miral Sims is quoted as saying, What
we military men can't understand is
why he wasn't shot when he wrote
that letter affecting the morale of the
allied forces and civilians" We do
not recall just what the British Gen
eral said in his letter about misre-
presentation of conditions. If, how
ever, representations from British Of
fetal sources were as inaccurate as
from American sources, the General
was probably justified in what he
wrote. In view of American expert
ence in that regard, the remark of Adj
miral Sims that what we military
men can't understand is why he wasn't
shot," is likely to intensity the deter
mination of the American people not
to give military men domination over
the Republic. We wouldn't like to
have a man shot for telling the truth.

WASHINGTON NOTES
A Strained Interpretation

The action of the Department of
Justice unfolding the War Depart
ment in sending out the notorious
Wigmore letter defending the admin
istration of the court-martial is one
more illustration of the substitution
of government by men for government
by law in the United States. If the
incident serves no other good purpose
it will awaken the American people
to the vital Importance of restoration
of government by law in this Republic.
While it seems quite evident that
the opinion rendered by the Depart
ment of Justice will have the effect
Of destroying much Of the little re-
spect which the people still have for
the administration, it will also serve
a good purpose if it hastens the time
when the people will put in charge of
the business of the government men
who have higher regard for plain
provisions of statutes.
AZ everyone knows, the Wigmore
letter was a personal communication
not official, and was designed en-
tirely as defense of the administra-
ton. Section 512 of the Postal Laws
and Regulations provides that it shall
be lawful for all officers of the Unit
ed States government to transmit
through the mail free of postage any
letters, packages or other matters re-
lating exclusively to the business of
the United States.
The defense Of the circulation of the
Wigmore letter is based upon the as
sertion that it was in the interests of
the War Department.
Only by the broadcast kind of an
Interpretation of the Wigmore letter
could it be construed to be ''in the in
terest of the War Department" but
even that is not what the statute pro-
vides. The statute requires that the
letter shall relate not only to the bust
ness Of the government but exclusive
ly to the business of the government.
The word business" in this connection
is y technical one and so intended. If
II Ind been the intention of Congress
In the enactment of that statute that
heads Of Departments should have the
privilege of sending through the mails
free anything they desired to send,
there would have been no limitation
such as that contained in the words
relating exclusively to the business

Out For a Scoop.

1t has been suggested that one rea-
son for President Wilson's sinister
secrecy with respect to what has been
going on at the peace conference that
he takes it for granted he will be re-
turned to private life after 1920, when
he will buckle down permanently to his
favorite weapon, the typewriter, to
write book on what happened in
Versailles. This book he will have
copyrighted, and the story of secret
covenants secretly arrived at will then
make its first appearance. Naturally
the author wants a copyrighted scoop
on the proceedings. Money in it.

Indigestion and the Censor.

MIR. E. NJ. Scheflow, an Engineer
and Contractor of Elgin, Illinois,
writes to ask US if we can explain
why a private letter written to his
mother by an old lady in Norway was
opened and read by the American
censor. els it possible" asks Mr..
Scheflow, that an old aunt in Norway
cannot let me know she has had bad
attack of indigestion without having
the fact passed upon by the American
censor?"
Certainly not. The Politicalmaster-
Generals official eyes are keen and
his ears are long-very long. The eyes
scrutinize every letter and telegram,
ii the Politicalmaster General so
elects. Even keyholes are not neces-
sarily barred to them. The long and
flexible ears are wound about every
telephone. Both in the whispered and
the written word there might lurk
things which do not meet MIR. Burle-
sons approval.
As to the bad attack of Norwegian
indigestion which the Burieson censors
investigated in the instance our cor
respondent cites, we should say that
this was peculiarly a case for rigid
Burlesonian diagnosis. On its face.
any reference to Indigestion nccessar-
lily would arousa the censor's suspie-
ion. 1t might conceal a disparaging
comment on our mail service, or in its
symptomatic suggestion it might cover
u flippantly flatulent appraisement of
the Politicalmaster-G General himself.
We are surprised, not that the let
ter in question was opened and read
by the censor, but that the censor
passed it at all. And, added to that
prodigy, is the miracle that it got
to the person to whom it was address,
ed. On the whole, the entire transac-
ton appears to be rather an improve
ment on established Burlesonian stand
i've efficiency. Not only was the CEN
sor uncommonly liberal in his super
vision of the correspondence of the
two old ladies, but the letter itself got
through the mail service maelstroni
and was finally east up, mutilated and
battered to be sure, but at least actual
ly cast up, at the door of the person
for whom it was intended! 1t went
over the top and survived the barrage.
Considering the Burlesonian epoch
in which we live, when the intrusion
of the Governments nose into the pri-
vate correspondence of old ladies is q
