Vida Goldstein:
(Women) must stand united in the cause of free
speech, a free press, and the rights of conscience -
those great bulwarks of liberty - which they would
not allow to be filched from them in this time of
panic.

============
Military Censorship -
The blank pages in last week’s issue of
“The Woman Voter”
show that our paper has come under the ban
of the military censor ...
Our civil liberty and the freedom of the press are
in jeopardy, and we are prepared to fight for both ...
On 9th instant an armed guard, with fixed
bayonets, a commanding officer, a detective, and
police, took charge of the establishment of our
printers, Messrs Fraser and Jenkinson ... seized
the first prints of the “Woman Voter”, and the
correspondence etc. referred to above was
destroyed.
We are told that we may publish anything that will
“stimulate military enthusiasm” which is
explained by the “Military Journal” as developing
a “desire to kill."
