One Roman Catholic Editor Favors a Free Press

THE Continent of March 15, 1916, credits the editor of the Catholic Citizen with the following statement regarding the agitation over the question of a free press:—
“The prosecution of the Menace, instituted by federal officials (doubtless stimulated to action by Catholic complaints), has failed; just as the Fitzgerald and Gallivan bills, shutting the Menace out of the mails, failed to emerge from committee in Congress. We have been strongly of the opinion that these schemes of legislation are unwise; that if enacted into laws, they would remain to plague after the present acute nuisance or provocative cause had long ceased to exist.”
