REV. THEODORE BOBILiN PRAISED FOR STAND ON
 FILM BAN %

,. tt June 2. 1887 !
 Editor of The Democrat: z.
 It is surprisingly strange to witt ness country like America, that in 1916 went to, war with Germany presumably Ito make the world safe for democracy" placing a ban on pictures taken in Spain, where bru- tai butchery of women and children has become a daily routine, and to the shame of Christian nations nothing is ever done about 1t. It is surprisingly strange to find that an attempt is being made to keep the American public from having the knowledge of this brutality kept from them. l5~
 Why? Let us tear the camouflage from the real reason, and unmask the truth. Is 1t because we are ashamed to admit that we are con- scious of this carnage which would make Herod blush, to admit that we are trying like the ostrich, to bury our head in the sand, so that we may not see, hear or think of this shame on the name of Christianity?
 All credit to the Rev. Theodore c. Bobilin,, minister of the First Methodist Episcopal church, who has the courage to stand up in these last days, and speak out in defense of liberty. At a time when the spirit of democracy Is or seems to be dying out of the world, when there are only three great demo- cratic nations left on the map England, France and Arnerical
 At a time when the bugles of Fascism and Nazism' are sounding through the world to rally recruits to their banners in preparation for the war that must come, if "dem- ocracy is not to vanish from the earth" and the spirit of liberty be crushed and trampled under the cloven hoof of dictators.
 In the last election the people of this country declared in no uncer- tain voice their opinion of Fascism and Nazism and Hearstism. Why this opposition to having a govern. ment of workers in their own coun- try. A government duly elected in all legality. Because the capitalist governments of the world fear the spread of such a spirit. whose leL- ter is that the earth is the heritage of the people? So afraid they think

Selected Poem
TRUST NOT YOUR HEART
 Neone Rice Grelle, Mount Carmel. in tho

New Haven Journal -Courier.) Leave not your heart on any starspun hl Lest 1t trail of astride vagrant breez; Nor trust 1t with mornings slanting gold Nor yet with twilight's darkling hemock trees And never let 1t know an Autumn moon Or see the flying wedge as wild geese wing Lest 1t be gone, not ever to return;
 For oh, gysy hearts an untamed thing And never halter has been made to hold it.; Nor ever bridle rein to guide it home, Once 1t has felt the hill-wind in its foretop; Once 1t has flung it's heels down trails that roam. Leave not your heart where sunsets paint the vest
 lands,
 And never snun the scent of April rain Unless you'd give your soul to miles and mountains; And never know a quiet hour again!

What Gettysburg is to Pennsylvania New York legislators would make of the Saratoga Battlefield. And by rights it should be just as much a national park. We are surprised that long before this the federal government did not take steps to convert it from state reserve to federal one. If this were done, no doubt complete restoration of the battlefield could be effected and more rigid mainte- nance offered.

PROPAGANDA OF O"FLANAGAN TYPE CAN ONLY LEAD
 TO WAR
June f. 1887. rrliAor IIIn fnrh,,r,, Donnnnrai.

June 4, 1887. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The present controversy in which considerable question has been raised concerning the status of one Rev. Michael O'Flanagan is very interesting, indeed, since it was not so very long ago many of us recall that the ministers association was quite active and forward in their efforts to rid the city of such trash as burlesque shows. Can 1t be that this committee which so strenuouSly opposed anything that has to do with morals, and exercise their priviledge at every opportunity, now avail themselves to propaganda which would have the ultimate pur- pose of leading the country into an- other war? War needs no definition further than what it has already been acclaimed to be according to the proverb War is hell"
 Everyone concerned with human ity has a thorough understanding that in the event. of war, people are killed, many, and in fact all of whom had nothing to do with the cause.
 Perhaps the thought of propa- ganda in the face of European crisis and what it may lead this country into if enough sympathy is aroused has not already occurred to these ministers, who incidentally would do well to allow the public to select its own form of enter tainme1t, and without any European strings, as the talk proposed to be given by the Rev. O'Flanagan is advertised to be. Perhaps the public in some instances would perfer the burlesque, but after all, they pay for it and aren't the morals cf- fccted their own. s.
