You may believe I am pessimistic, but if the 23rd article of war could be waived and our'staff officers allowed to speak they would tell you things that would convince you I have been .over-opti- mistic.

For this reason, we have our guard #n watch and trust the safety of our homes and lives “and ‘property to their vigilance. Should any misguided wretch attempt to poison the mind of the people of this state through its public press, or should selfish demagogues and hair- braitied agitators attempt to interfere with the patriotic work of our people, they will find that freedom of the press and free speech do not mean freedom of license to encourage murd- Germany with the ‘kaiser.
