Gladstone as q private citizen is at
liberty to say much which it twouldhaye
been indiscreet and utterly wrong for
him to say as premier when he repre-
'sented a great nation, says the Illus
trated American. Any man in posi-
tion of delegated responsibility repre-
scnts not only himself, but those who
have intrusted their interests to him.
A private tutor is amenable TO q child's
parents for what he teaches, though
before he was hired he had right to
teach that child what he pleased if he
had opportunity. The college presi-
dent, while a. larger independence is
given him, is nevertheless the teacher
hired by the parents, and they haye al-
ways the right, collectively, to put re-
straints upon his utterances. Freedom
of speech is the priceless boon" of
every citizen of America, but when a
citizen enters into contract with other
citizens to do a certain amount of speak
ing by way of instruction, lie volup-
tarily consents to the possibility OF re-
straint. There is nothing to quarrel
over in this. No man need forego his
S.. freedom of speech If he does not wish
to. But IL he takes another mans
money for his speech, the employer has
ON undoubted right to indicate when
tho contract shall end, and without
