,CONTTNUED FROM PAGE ONE,

Lou Wallace's famous book. Ben
Hur, was rejected by a score Of pub
fishers before il was finally printed
and found a ready market.
Certain novels because Of the
very nature of the plot will appear
salacious to many. The New York
society for the suppression of vice
would not permit works which they
deem immoral TO be published. In
functions were filed against the pub
fishers of books containing salacious
matter. Yet. it is my opinion that
any mature person could read such
novels and not be harmed in the
least. once an author is broughs

cent literature a blight is placed
upon his genius.
Rights OF Government.
take Mark Twain's case for ex-
ample. He was not subjected to
trial for any work of his, yet every
article he wrote was subjected to
rigorous censorship. His wife was
his censor. He was bound TO com
promise his works with principle.
Such a censorship stunted the gen
JUS of what many readers think
Americas greatest author.
THE United States has and eXer-
cises the power to suppress any
article created to overthrow the
government. That is treason. But
an article containing a criticism of
the actions of governmental officials
is merely exercising the freedom Of
the press.
