As a father, I agree with the spirit of Mr. Hillyer's article "Hooray for Censorship," but I must object to his methods. Is it not better to allow the citizens of this free country to regulate their own affairs, particularly what happens 9 times out of 10 in their private homes? Is this not the more conservative approach?

Promote individual responsibility, not dependence.
