The Censorship Danger Unmasked Fvarflv what honest, fearless and loyal news

The emnhasis due to bold face type is ours.

The emDhasis and srravity of truth are in those

warning words of the patriotic editor of the

Herald.

A part of the editorial that called forth Creel's reprimand is herewith reproduced: "Bland confessions from, the navy ordnance experts that certain shells fabricated 'prior to 1900' are defective ill not satisfy the American public. The real facts must be disclosed. "Then the existing gentlemen's agreement as to censorship of navy information which conceivably may be

useful to the enemy wiu ran ime a pacn i tua n. falsely used to cloak negligence or inefficiency of the kind indicated by the tragic death of the two American nurses on the Mongolia. "The navy had ample warning. On the first trip of tne St. Louis as an armed ship to Liverpool target practice was engaged in by the armed guard. Several shells were almost 'decomposed'; one prematurely exploded in the barrel of the gun, putting it out of commission. On the St. Paul other defective shells were found. On the Mongolia, despite these fiascos, the story was repeated. "All navies use old shells; time, normally, d6es pot i i .t.i. .MnianxT hut n th iiresent instance it is

obvious that some element as yet unlocated and unprohed 'did Impair their efficiency. ;'-: , ' , "We atand on the facts and Insist that this baleful story of 'bad sheila be wiped out. It has been suggested that the shells are tampered with either In the arsenals or In the magazines of the ships. Such a suggestion of treason Is worthy of the old bureaucratic Russia, but not of the United States navy. It is inconceivable that there Is a single traitor or enemy agent within the service." Creel's reprimand followed. To this in last Thursday's issue the Herald replied as follows: "Administration spokesmen have been loud in protesting that they did not dream of trying to control editorial opinion or criticism. Yet. despite these protestations, despite the fact that there i3 no censorship law

now, the Washington Herald was involved m a seriously significant incident yesterday. "An editorial was published on 'defective shells regarding the tragedy on the Mongolia. It declared that the series of accidents on armed ships indicated clearly that something must be wrong in the Navy Department. "Within a few hours after the editorial appeared, Mr. George Creel. Chairman of the Committee on Public Information, who will be the official Government censor if a censorship law is enacted, called the Washington Herald on the telephone questioning the spirit and correctness of the 'statements contained In it. "If this is not an attempt to control editorial opinion, what is it? There were no misstatements of fact in the t-ditorial; a single typographical error turning 'seventeen years into 'seven was its only inaccuracy. Mr. Creel did

Someone has said, "God surely loves the com

mon people. He made so many of them.

The hand of providence is not unseen in tne

tragic and unnecessary death of our two heroic

American nurses. Who knows but lor tnis incident there might have been no cause for Creel's bureaucratic outburst. Without this the American people might have remained asleep until congress had given away their birthright of liberty and censorship was an accomplished fact. Censorship means slavery. It means a petty

and ignorant official in charge of the news denortmants rvf ovow Amprirati newsDaner. An of-

ficial who to save his own hide and salary, will censor the news to protect the interests of his superiors. In other words censorship means just one thing, bureaucracy in the middle, autocracy

on top and at the bottom slavery for the great masses denied their rightful information concerning the affairs of their government and the actions of its officials. After this providential warning there is no mistaking the duty of Congress. President Wilson's unconstitutional request for censorship powers must be overwhelmingly defeated.

President Wilson was elected by a majority of American citizens to lead and serve, not rule, all the American people. Great forces have decreed that his neriod of service shall fall during a time

when Americans are battling for the rights of

democracy and for the overthrow of autocracy. It is time, therefore, that he realizes the American people view with an unfriendly and distrustful eye attempts by anyone to interfere with or subserve their fundamental and constitutional rights to freedom of speech and a free press.

They furthermore particularly resent such efforts at this time because of the internal dissensions that are thereby engendered. . ; The American people today live for one purpose, to hold and protect the rights they have already won and to safeguard the future of those rights and liberties by whole heartedly aiding in

the crusade to abolish the world s autocracies. i It is President Wilson's duty now to lead us in this great f ight and to do so without establishing dangerous precedents by overthrowing any of

our vital liberties. : We know; the fate of republican Rome, how.it became the '.property of the Imperial Caesars. That fate shall not; be ours fifty years hence through precedents now to be established. ; This country shall remain the nation of Lincoln, "that government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the earth." PRESIDENT WILSON MUST DO HIS DUTY CONSTITUTIONALLY. ;

Snatched from

She was prepared to die, and expected each breath to be her last one. Her heart was so bad that she couldn't go nn op down stairs without sitting down

several times. Horrible dreams un

nerved her. Her heart pumped and fluttered. She could get no rest, and crew weaker and weaker. After she

had given up to die she heard of Hull's Superlative. Here is what she says: "T onirJ notffp. a different action in my
