In 1908, when the revolutionary

EDITORIAL
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
Good Americans will Indorse out
right the program of the National Se
curity League to prevent the election
or re-election of any members of Con
gress this year who are not known to
be vigorous proponents of the war or
who can be lured to support any spe
cious efforts at an inconclusive peace.
The country needed such a nonpolitl
cal organization as the league to lead
the fight against the milk fed office
holders and Office seekers who, In
many parts of the country are cater
ing to the hones of the people that
the war may be ended, even though it
is not ended right The league can
come to Colorado, for instance, and
build fires under two or three politi
cians who probably will seek re-elections
here and, without its motives be
ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their po
litical careers.;
Just how the war will terminate
will depend mostly upon the United)
States. Just what the United States
will do depends in a great measure
upon Congress. If there is a strong
sentiment for premature peace in ita
membership' the task of putting
through our war program until our in
stitutions are absolutely safe will bm
complicated. We are pledged now tm
go through with the war by force,
"without stint or limit," and we must
support that pledge by electing men
to Congress whb will "stay put on
the issue until victory is won.
For that matter, Americans should
be careful about electing anybody to
any office now who is not clear-cut on
the war. -Men of no particular force
in private life have much weight add
ed to their opinions when they are
clothed with the authority of office.
We cannot afford to have any such
backing the pacifists in the dark days
of the war that are to come. We must
make this a poor season for "yellow
dog" office seekers of whatever grade
or party or politics. Colorado Springs
Gazette.
PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.
"Congress shall make no law .
abridging the freedom of speech or of
the press," so 'reads a clause in our
Constitntion.
This is z wise provision. The citi
zens of a democracy should at all
times know of and be able to criticism
the management of their affairs. In
restigatfoa and criticism In the pres
ent war hare Wen of great benefit
In hastening mr prt$mntUm by point-'
fas- out errors that hare been made.
There is bo doubt whatever that the
great safeguards In the coed net of the
war are almost cnlixalted publicity and
the tight of critidsns.
We are told that Cfmstrvrtlre exit
Iris m is always welcome, but who is
to decide what lis constrnctlTe? Why
not criticism without the adJectlTe?
Host citizens ! believe that Universal
Military' Training as a corrective of
our unpreparedness would have been
constructive, and yet it was not adopt
ed. Who can tell, if It bad been ac
cepted when first proposed, what the
result would have been on this war !
If we had had more publicity i:!fn
the production of aeroplanes, shipping
and ordnance, the suggestions of think
ing men would unquestionably have
stimulated the rapidity with which
these articles were being produced,
and the delays that have occurred
might have been avoided.
There are things the Government
cannot make public, and these the peo
ple do not ask to know. But in the
main full Information concerning the
progress of preparation can safely be
given to the people. It is the people's
war ; it is a war supported by the peo
ple, financially, . and physically, and
suggestions by them should be sought
and considered. '
