PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Thursday, February 27, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week--Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday--by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Member Iowa College Press Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year BOARD OF TRUSTEES C. H. Weller, chairman, Gretchen Kane, secretary, E. M. McEwen, E. S. Smith, Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office Hours--8-12; 1-6 daily, Room 14, L. A. Building Rowena Wellman--Managing Editor Ruth Rogers, News Editor Helen Hays, Pink Sheet Editor Elizabeth Hendee, Humorous editor Nancy Lamb, Exchange editor Leon H.

I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." --Lincoln. Night Editor: Kathryn Fritson TIME TO STOP There is always a possible danger of even a democratic government "going to seed" on prohibitory measures. During nearly every period of our legislative history has existed a super-abundance of state and national law-makers who have continually endeavored to impose their own religious or political convictions upon the people for whom they were legislating. Now and then our over-religious politicians become fanatical in their frantic efforts to compel all other men to trip a "straight and narrow" that conforms to the dimensions of their own. In like manner, as a result of the present world upheaval, many of our legislators are becoming obsessed with the idea that we (or they) must slap the lid down tightly on all political and industrial agitation that savors of radicalism in any respect, to keep our country from going to pieces. The Kimball bill, passed by the Iowa state senate a while ago, had behind it, the good intentions of preventing any violent outbreaks of bolshevism, and it was, no doubt, the unreasonable fear of the Russian terror that actuated the provision which labels the displayal of the red flag an act of treason. But is this not going a little too far? It might be good to remember that neither capital nor labor are losing sleep from fear that bolshevism will creep into this country and destroy it. Many prominent capitalists have expressed their confidence in American labor The bolshevists may all come from the laboring classes, but we must admit that without labor we could never have won the war; and that labor wlil do its share in the reconstruction. The red flag has been the proletariot's flag for years; it is not compatible with liberty to forbid a man from carrying a banner that represents his political convictions. During the war it was imperative to quiet agitation of every kind, as internal questions could not be allowed to overshadow the one big national problem. But now with the war over, we want no more restrictions on free speech than we had before the war. Whenever there is agitation, there is a cause for it, just or unjust. Stop the agitation and you bottle up a force which grows until it ultimately bursts its confines. This is what happened in despotic Russia. PASTIME THEATRE TODAY & TOMORROW Don't miss seeing that million dollar picture.
