Mahoney.
 "The V. F. W. National Home is the pride of our organization . Commander Mahoney declared.

Deadwood, s. D. (UP)-Because the curiosity bump should be ad- ministered to historical spots should be marked in the Black Hills, according to Badger Clark, western poet.
 The author of Sunlight and Saddle Leather" said recently that Black Hills tourists are sim ply ravenous for points of inter- est"
 Some time back" he said, "I painted a sign The Badger Hole and nailed it to a tree by the roadside for a guidance to friends who might visit me. All last sum- mer, starry-eyed tourists came to my door asking what the Badger Hole was."
 "They were so plainly disap- pointed by my prosaic explanation that I was tempted to invent fantastic legendary lie about some dead-and-gone Indian chief named The Badger"
 Every ruined shaft house and mill near the road should be marked" the poet contended. The tourist is likely to take such building for somebody's barn, but if he knows it is a gold mine with a romantic name like the Kicking Horse. or the Snowstorm, he vii lraise his ears like mule deer"

OUTLOOK IS CHANGED IN WORLD WAR DAYS

There were other sporadic at tempts to censor through the mails. but, generally speaking. freedom of expression was almost complete up to the outbreak of the World War.
 It was so much so that. James

1 Bryce noted especially in Amer ica the "unbounded freedom of discussion. Every view, every line of policy. has its fair chance be- fore the peorle. ....."
 The World War was another story. And it was a story which our own War Department learned partly during the Spanish War. When this war was imminent, we had little intelligence on military units of Spain in Cuba.
 But the war department had all the Spanish newspapers, which were not up on their job, and by piecing together a little here, a little there, we got a first-rate pie ture of the Spanish military sft- uation in Cuba without depending on spies. The lesson was not for gotten.
 So when we entered the World War, one of the first steps was es- tablishment of the Committee on Public Information. The secre- taries of state, war; and navy were members, and George Greet was civilian member and the active head.
 STRICT CENSORSHIP , PLACED IN EFFECT
 The committee had two jobs: First, to obtain voluntary co-op- eration from all publications in not publishing information of mili- tary value. and, second, as pub licity bureau to issue information and propaganda. Both ways, 1t worked pretty well.
 The really repressive power lay in the Espionage Act of June IS, 1917, which provided drastic pen alties for publication and circula- ton of writings detrimental to carrying on the war.
 A strict censorship of the for eign-language press, the mails, and the cables completed the set up.
 Professor Lindsay Rogers, now presiding over hearings of the newspaper code, summed up the results two months before the armistice: Apart from the pros- ecution of a few groups of editors notably Socialists-for conspir- acy to obstruct American partici- patton in the war. most of the ob- jectionable publications have been TcdCHeu llrOuSH ll0 pOSlOlllCe.
 
 SOME ARE DENIED MAILING PRIVILEGES
 About 76 papers have been in- terfered with in one way or an- other. Forty-five were Socialist papers; four Socialist daily papers have been denied 'second-class mailing privileges; others have been cited to defend themselves, and have retained mailing priv ileges only by agreeing to print no discussion of the war.
 Several pamphlets have been excluded and their authors pro- cedeed against criminally, and perhaps 30 papers have been de- tained in the postoffice until doubtful matter could be passed on, or have had single issues SUD- pressed. ." Chief objection is made

RED SCARE STARTS NEW "MUZZLE" DRIVE

Publishers voluntary censorship of their own news columns, to pre- vent, military information getting out, worked pretty well; the war time conflicts were over expression of opinion and its arbitrary sup- presison by the postoffice depart ment without trial or court appeal. The war over, a cry went up for removal of all censorship, the peo- pie feeling that the need for it was over.
 Nevertheless a strong effort was made in 1920 to pass a new sedi- ton bill which would have been a rival to the one which wrecked the Federalist party more than 100 years before.
 It was suppression bill brought on by the "Red Scare" that fol- lowed the war, and raised a great fuss. But it finally was beaten.
 That was the last attempt of the federal government to control freedom of expression on a great scale. Later attempts have been confined to states.

 THE hotter the question un- I der discussion, the harder it is to maintain freedom in that discussion = that is, freedom of the press."
 And emergencies, chief of which is war, have been most productive of censorship and restriction. A certain amount of it seems abso- < lutely inevitable under conditions of modern war.
 As the Civil war drew near, shadows of censorship lowered ahead. A gag rule was adopted in the House in 1886, which provided that all memorials and petitions on slavery be laid on the table with out being printed or acted on.
 That was not strictly a violation of press freedom, but seems to have violated the right of petition, and shows a trend of mind. Direct ly followed a controversy over mailing anti-slavery periodicals into the south. where they were resented greatly.
 Though the government never I WELL SO s1rlI elS u plOulDlL ing or delivering such material, it was regularly not delivered in many southern postoffices.
 GIVEN FAIR. LATITUDE
 DURING CIVIL. WAR
 When the Civil War came, the press was left remarkably free. t Only a few suppressions were noted in the North, and. none in the South.
 Many of the southern papers got their news from northern papers brought through the lines, for the northern press had more and bet ter correspondents. Newspapers on both sides often suppressed news of military value, such as troop movements, at request of their governments.
 General Burnside, who also prosecuted Vallandigham, was the only one to make a clear-cut case of publication control. He shut down the Chicago Times and the New York World for printing mat sst to obstruct conduct of the war.
 But President Lincoln. who made a superb effort throughout the war to preserve civil rights under the most trying conditions, revoked Burnside's order, OUTLOOK IS CHANGED IN |. WORLD WAR DAYS

 He said he could Imagine no greater disservice to the country than to establish system of cen sorship that would deny to the people of Free Republic like our own their indisputable right to criticise their own public officials"

TWO TRAVELLERS
MAKE REPORT OF
BEING ROBBED
ALTHOUGH WHEN CALLING
ON OFFICERS TO EFFECT
ARRESTS ARE UNABLE TO
IDENTIFY PERSONS

One of the most annoying things
in the life of members of the sher-
ifs force is to be called on to
make an arrest and have the COM
plainant be unable to recognize
the parties he wants arrested.
During last week this has hap
pened twice. Travellers on ships
of the p. and o. steamship COM
pany have landed in Key West
claiming to have been robbed in
card games by card sharks who
have asked them to play.
They consented and when they
had been relieved Of their money,
arrived in Key West and the first
thing they did was to call the of
flee of the sheriff. Deputies ar
irving. meet the party claiming to
be robbed but they are unable to
recognize those accused.
Friday passenger called on
the sheriff's office and made q
complaint. He had been relieved
of $470 in cash and American
Bankers Association checks. Three
deputies were on the scene, but OF
the 11s passengers leaving the
ship the loser could not identify
one single man who had been in
the group he charged with having
robbed him.
People who allow themselves ia
be robbed do not get much sym.
lpathy from others, it is shown. All
rooms on the ships of this com.
pany have signs specifically warn.
ing passengers against playing
any game of chance with strang.
ers. These signs are also con
spicuously displayed is the saloon
and in fact in all parts of the yes
sells of the line ands when not
needed only those who fail to take
warning can be blamed for their
losses, it is said, as they are tho
ones at fault.
