Tho good soldier never tries to distinguish right from wrong, llo never thinks, never reasons, ho only obeys. If ho la ordered to flro on his follow citi zens, on his friends, on his neighbors, on his relatives, ho obeys without hesitation. It ho Is ordered to flro down a crowded street when tho poor nro clamoring for bread ho obeys, and sees the gray hairs of ago stained with rod and tho llfo tldo gushing from tho breasts of women, feeling neither romorso nor sympathy. If ha is ordered off as ouo of n firing sqund to oxecuto n hero or a benefactor, ho fires without hesitation, though hn knows tho bullet will plorco tho noblest heart that ovor beat In human broast. A good soldier Is a blind, heartless, soulless, murderous machlno. llo Is Hot a man. llo Is not even a brute, for brutes only kill In sclf-dofonso. All that Is human In him, all that Is dlvlno In hlm, all that constitutes tho man, has been sworn away when ho took the enlistment roll. Ills mind, consolouro, aye. his very soul, aro In tho keeping of his officer. No man can (all lower than a soldier It Is a depth beneath which wo cannot go. The censorship is based on Section 212 of ihe criminal code, which excludes from the mails all matter which car ries openly any reflection on the character or conduct of any person. The postal authorities have interpreted this to mean any class of persons. Objection is not made to the article carried as reading matter in newspapers or books, because it is not "openly" displayed. As a test case, to ascertain the legal power of the pos tal censors, cards are to be printed containing the follow ing quotation from a speech made by Kaiser "Wilhclm of (jernmny to a new batch of recruits: Recruits! 'Doforo tho altar and tho servant of God you hnvo given mo tho oath of allcglauco. You nro too young to know tho full meaning of what you hnvo said, but your; first caro must bo to oboy Impllclty all orders and directions, You hnvo sworn fidelity to mo, you nro tho chil dren of my guard, you aro my soldiers, you havo surrendered yourselves to mo, body and soul, only ono onomy can exist lor you my enemy. With tho present socialist machinations, It mny happen that I shall order you to shoot your own relatives, your brothers, or oven your parents which God forbid and tbon you aro bound in duty Implicitly to oboy my ordcrsi If the kaiser's speech is permitted, why draw the line at London's? The growing menace of censorship by the postal de partment is a proper subject for drastic action by congress. Tt is incompatible with free speech privileges guaranteed by the constitution and an un-American apeing of the ser vile institutions of bureaucratic tyranny. "DO YOU HEAR THE ABOVH the thunder of Europe's guns comes the wailing of tho Serbian children.

DRIFTING np .11 IS proposal to make a charges outstanding on provement bonds, without the councils having made any effort to collect from the property owners even the over due interest money, is a gross injustice to all taxpayers. The bond interest is not due until April. Taxes will not bo paid until April, net ween now and April, ample time exists to collect sufficient money due on delinquent payments and interest to meet the obligations. The injustice of making those who, have paid their as sessments also pav for those who have not, as this pro posed levy would do, is apparent to all. It puts a penalty upon those who pay and rewards those who do not and most of tho delinquents are not the toilers, who have paid hotter than any others. The present situation has been brought about wholly by tho council's failure to act. It was this councilmanic ldthargy that brought on the rebontling election and that is now 'threatening the city's credit. It is the council's failure to act which keeps the agitation alive. Only the necessity of protecting the city 's credit in an emergency could justify a levy to meet boud'interest. If such emergency exists, 'the council is wholly to blame, and if the present 'policy of inaction continues, city finances will drift from bad to worse and unjust taxation make it confiscatory to livo in iMedford. If the council has a solution let us hear it. If not, mandamus procoedint's and injunctions can be expected to prevent illegal double taxation.
