LIMIT OF FREE SPEECH.

| Mr.. Edward Atkinson's open avowaI
and defense, of his conduct in sending
pamphlets to our soldiers in the Philip
pines, which tend to discourage them
| in the prosecution of the war, brings
up sharply the question of the rights
and duties of a citizen. While We be-
| lieve that Mr.. Atkinson's views are
| wrong, there is this to be said on his
| behalf. He has the right under the
| Constitution and laws TO differ from
| the views of the Administration, and of
all other citizens. He has the right
also to tell his fellow citizens who
are in the army what he thinks about
public affairs. They also have the
right to think and talk about the neces-
sity and conduct of the war, because
they also are citizens who with other
citizens, must determine the policy of
the nation. Mr.. Atkinson has the law
full right TO convince them that the
war policy is wrong, just as another
person has the right to convince them
that the war policy is sound and cor
rect
This case illustrates what the French
writer de Tocqueville called the tyr
rany of democracy" He says that,
theoretically, free speech is tenderly
protected in a democracy, but in prac-
tice, the majority have no bowels of
compassion for the minority, and like
!,
as traitors and scoundrels, and do not
hesitate to crush them politically and
financially if they can do SO by laws.
And there is also a considerable per-
centage of persons in a democracy who
would like to see all those who differ
from them banished from the coun
try
We have the right TO assume that
American citizens in our Philippine
army are capable of passing upon the
merits of our policy quite as we'll as
Mr.. Atkinson can, and that he cannot
make them disconnected in just
cause. To assume that he can do any
mischief by circulating his pamphlets
among them is to assume that our
soldiers are fools and lack intelligence.
Indeed, the evidence is that the soldiers
understand the issues involved in the
war quite as we'll as Mr. Atkinson does.
Moreover, he will not be able to in
fuence the Regulars who have enlisted
to obey orders and fight. To advocate
the suppression of Mr.. Atkinson would
be to urge the adoption Of the old
practice that put a man in prison when
he disagreed with the ruling power.

Ets Leaves Turned white.

Much interest has been caused lately
by the appearance Of a horse chestnut
tree In the ThIergarten, says a Berlin
dispatch. The numerous branches
round the lower part Of the trunk have
pure white foliage, such as is seen
on trees growing in dark places, where
no chlorophyll can develop on account
OF want Of light The same whiteness
OF the leaves is also noticeable in a
few OF the neighborIng branches
through the crown to the top. The
singular appearance Of the tree has
been noticed regularly fer some years.
This particular tree, Il seems, had
been attacked by q swarm of cater
pillars and other creatures Of the same
species, and the foliage had already
been destroyed, but still masses Of
caterpillars continued to crawl up and
down the trunk and finally clung there
In clumps. To preserve the beautiful
tree, after other means had been tried
In vain. a solution Of acid was used,
and the ground all round was water
ed with 1t, as well as the trunk and
the branches, which were especially
drenched. This treatment proved sue
cessful. The tree gradually recover

and freshness, but has ever since
shown the already described whIteness
In Its leaves, which presents q by no
means unpleasant contrast to the 9th.

tlon of growing girls and boys to the

are forming their figures for life.

An easy way to practice welking
well Is to start out right. Just before
you leave the house walk up to the
wall and see that your toes, chest and
nose touch 1t Mt once, then in that at
titude walk away. Keep your head up
and your chest out, and your shoul-
ders and back will take care Of them.

A Clever Fraud.

A peculiar case OF fraud was that Of
young woman who filed q claim for
damages against the Providence rail-
road some time ago. In her declarn-
tion she alleged that she had been
thrown down by a banana peel while
leaving car Mt the Park street sta
tion, and, striking her back against the
arm Of one Of the seats. had suffered
q serious injury to her spine. She vas
examined by physician, and he re-
ported that 1t appeared as ie her lower
limbs were paralyzed.
The incident coming to the attention
OF a western road, its legal adviser
wrote to the management of the Provi-
dcnce division for a description Of the
claimant, and he learned that it tailed
exactly with O woman who had made
q similar claim against the company,
the circumstances being the same In
both cases. This led to an investign-
tion, and the fact was developed that
the trick had been played successfully
on no less than half a dozen trans
portati0n companies.
part OF the game was for the sun.
posed injured person to soak her limbs
In ice water just before the doctor
called. This deadened the sensation
when they were pricked with needles,
the inference being that she had been
partially paralyzed by the fall. The
chief actor in this bit of sharp practice
had an elderly woman for a confeder-
ate. who posed as her mother.

And opened with care, but no ring was there,
And we gave 1t up for lost.
