The Espionage Act of 1917 was a United States
federal law passed shortly after entering World War I,
which made it a crime, punishable by a $10,000 fine
and 20 years in jail, for a person to convey antipathy
with intent to interfere with the operation or success of
the military or naval forces of the United States or to
promote the success of its enemies. The legislation
was passed at the urging of President Woodrow
Wilson who feared any widespread dissent in time of
war constituted a real threat to an American victory.

We are willing enough to praise freedom when she
is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a
nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose
outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about
her, and admit censorship.

"[O]f course, like every other man of intelligence and education, I do
believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such
questions should still be raised."

Of course that was 1922. Our politicians have become much more knowledgeable
about science since then :)
