LET SOCIALISTS
TALK SAYS JUDGE
Supreme Court Justice Gaynor
<Deprecates Refusal to Grant
Permits for Public
Meetings.
TALKS TO HARVARD MEN
Scores "the Little Pln-Hcad I'm Au-
thority" for Use of Russian
Methods--Rooseyelt
Not Radical.

Cambridge, Mass, April 7,--speaklng
on the subject political Duty Of Col
lege Men," before the Harvard Politl-
cal club tonight, Supreme Court Jus
tice William j. Gaynor of New York,
advised his hearers to set high politl-
cal standards for others and to use
common sense In combating political
, and social movements OF which they do
not approve. "Of all things he said,
do not dishonor the education you re-
oeive here by being prejudiced or bigot-
ed In politics through ignorance. 1t is
q pitiful little man who will not look
at both sides. Stand up against the
abuse and usurpation Of those in office.
Stand for Just treatment for all. DO
not try to cry down by abuse or suf.
fer the use of unlawful force For In.
stance, meet the growing propaganda
OF socialists with argument and NOT
with abuse and force. To beat them
and knock them about and refuse
them the same permits to hold public
meetings which are given to other par
ties will not weaken them It is more
Likely to gain them adherents. 1t Is the
worst policy In the world to drive peo-
pie TO secret meetings and plottings Let
them speak in the open and you will
have no secret plottlngs, throwing OF
bombs and assassinations. 1t is hard to
make the little plnhead in authority
understand this In this FREQ country
where of all the world it should be I'M
derstood. He prefers the Russian
method of force"
Justice Gaynor urged his hearers
to give deep thought and study to
political questions that they may learn
whether the policies or only the name
of the parties of their grandfathers
survive. They should study, too, all
the great questions of government I'M
Ill they have a thorough understand
Ing Of them.
I'VE bear much talk of radicalism, -
said he, but really there is no radical
question before the country. Some
think or profess to think, that the eff
fort OF the president to make the rail-
roads, our public highways, observe
the very first law OF their being,
which is to give no favoritism in
freight rates to anyone. but to treat
all alike under the same conditions.
is radicalism. They call 1t radical
and dangerous interference with the
business of the country. That the
railroads should hNt be permitted by
carrying one mans freight at less
rate than his rivals are made to pay,
TO enable him to undersell his rivals
that much and ruin them and thereby
create a monopoly in himself, is a
proposition that is anything but rad
lcal to ionc<t and thinking people,. "
