| Summary: | This article reports on the 1917 government suppression of the Josephinum Weekly following the charge by the editor, Rev. Edward Dahmus, that President Woodrow Wilson was the "most profound socialist in the United States." The Josephinum Weekly was the only Catholic newspaper suppressed under the World War I Espionage Act. The suppression was achieved by revoking the publication's second class mailing privileges, and thus forcing the twelve-page newspaper to either pay prohibitively higher prices for mailing or to stop publishing. The article traces the origins of this crisis for the publication and how it chose to deal with this situation. |
