GENERAL FUNSTON’S CENSORSHIP.
General Funston expressed surprise nt the grace with
which the American newspapers accepted the censorship la
deemed necessary to prevent Villa from getting news of the
American troops. Possibly the American newspaperman's in
sistence on getting the news, and getting it lirst whenever and
wherever it happens, possibly the great amount ot money ex
pended by the Associated Press and large newspapers, and the
daring of individual newspapermen in landing a news story has
established in the minds of such men as General Funston, and
possibly the public generally, that patriotism or no patriotism,
right or wrong, the American newspapers and newspapermen
are going to insist upon printing every report of every troop
movement that may come over the wires to Funston\s head
quarters or the war department; that regardless of what harm
it might do, the newspapers are going to insist on printing
everything that happens the day it happens.
Possible General Funston might have felt warranted in
taking this view, but if he had known anything about the
.•veryday workings of the daily newspapers the I’nitcd’ States
over he would have hesitated to make the implication he did
against the patriotic spirit of newspaperdom.
The fact is, that the newspaper and the newspapermen,
almost without exception, are invariably at the service of the
public official who is striving to perform his duty. All the
newspapers want is to know that such suppression is actually
for the public good, and not simply the whim or fancy of some
self-important official, or is sought in the effort to cover up i
some blunder or mistake that ought to be bared.
If you didn’t register you are tongue tied.
(ireece apparent ly is about ready to boil over.
-:o:
Funston caught Aguinaldo, an adventure that may stand’
in good stead in his pursuit of the wily Villa.
-.— :o ■-—
It has reached a point where the opinions of (ieneral Car
ranza are scarcely included in the equation.
—-:o:
f’oreign Minister von Jngow’s prognosis is that to have a
healthy body politic it is necessary to control the diet.
-:o:
Colonel Roosevelt comes back from the spot where Colum
bus discovered America to learn that America has discovered
Columbus.
-- :o:-—
Portugal is the thirteenth nation to get into the war, and
there is reason to suspect that bad luck is going to befall some
of the belligerents.
Speaking of psychological moments, Villa could not have
chosen a better time to facilitate the passage of American pre
paredness legislation.
-:o •
Rapid extension of American capital to far corners of the
world shows that the eagle wasn’t put on the dollar with wings
outspread for nothing.
-:o:-- -
Congressmen who are jolting the shingles with oratory
pertaining to tin1 disposal of \ ilia should k<*ep in mind the
recipe for cooking rabbits.
--- :o:
While Uncle Sam is urging us to “save the paper,’’ it
might be well for the amiable relative of us all to begin at home
ami curtail the mountainous output of documents which nobody
reads.
--:o:
The navy department has refused to risk the dangers of
permitting the cruiser Pittsburg to go to Portland on account
()f the Columbia river bar, and every editor in the Oregon city
..it -j. -t._

be informed in the details of a real blowing up. Wliat has gone
before in his ease is mere frizzling compared to what he is go
ing to hear.
----:o:--—
People are beginning to recognize the principle that reli
gion is not something apart from life, but a part of life itseli,
and broad enough to cover the social, civil and economic activi
ties. Following out this principle there is a movement in the
east to consolidate rural churches on non-sectarian lines, and |
makt* them centers of the social and civil activities ot the com- ,
muni tics.
--— :o:
The faker is busy along the border. The irresponsible
news gatherer is filling irresponsible papers with his wild
alarms. Meantime the Associated Press, upon which govern
ments and historians depend so largely tor their information,
is, as usual, moving along in the paths of truthfulness, describ
ing the situation as it actually exists, sending out no fake re
ports of unfouglit battles, no fake reports of non-rising upris
ings, no miserable lies about coups and ambushes. Those who
seek the facts about world events must depend upon the Asso
ciated Press, greatest of all news gathering agencies, and* the
Cordova Times prints its rfport.
