(By Charming Severance.)

(by CndnnlnS SeVerance.)
Freethought an Freespeech are the
basis of liberty, and on them depends the
progress of the world; so every attempt to
restrict or prevent their exercise is a de-
triment to humanity. Yet there has always
been determined opposition to both by two
forces in society, religion and government.
The priest, and the king before the days
of republics, had common object; to
despoil and subjugate the masses; to rule
and rob without the slightest regard for
human rights or happiness, and every gov
eminent that centres in one man power
remains the same to this day, while religion
and religious forces are as hostile to Free
thought and Freespeech as ever. All gov
ernments, no matter how professedly fond
of liberty when formed and established, be-
come timid, conservative and reactionary
later on, when 1t comes to placing power in
the hands Of the whole people; and the
machinery of government is monopolized
and run by very small majority of the
citizens in every nation, regardless of name
or character. Our government is no ex-
ception, and it is today under the almost
centrated wealth, and the religious element,
despite its democratic and secular basis
AS the inequalities of wealth increase and
millionaires and paupers multiply, restric-
lions are created to hold restless and dis
satisfied people in check and free speech
and free press are now considered so
dangerous, that the coils of statute laws are
invoked to insure that restraint which the
foes of freedom desire Our national con-
stitution which is the supreme law of the
land grants freedom of speech and the
press, but notwithstanding this fact, bill
has been introduced into the United States
Senate giving to the Post Master General
power to debar from the mails any publica-
ton that in his judgment should not cir
culate. 1t is distinctly aimed at socialist
literature which is fast becoming a power
in the land for the influencing Of public
opinion; but this same law would not nee
essarily be confined to that class Of papers
and literature after 1t was created and with
1t, upheld by the Supreme Court as seems
likely 1t would be, every Freethought paper
in the land coulu be destroyed as well.
II the religious element would never
rest until they were. goes without saying,
for It has long desired more far reaching
law than the hazy and indefinite Comstock
law with its inability thus for to reach
strictly Freethought, anti Christian papers.

Treaehery in the Hepburn Bill

more despicable effort to undermine
liberty and to turn back the wheels OF
progress, has never been made than is seen
in this Hepburn bill giving autocratic
power to the head of the postoffice depart
ment, who, of course would be willing
puppet in the hands of those plotting to de-
stroy radical and rational publications, hav-
ing for their object better social and in
dustrial conditions.
These are the kind of people that event
ually get to the head of every government,
and they have now got control of the ma
chinery of ours; and the principles advocated
by its founders, Paine, Jefferson, Franklin,
and such great and grand intellects who were
sincere lovers Of liberty and progress, are
used only in oratorial jugglery on the 4th
Of July and just previous to elections.
The alarming concentration of wealth in
this country must disturb the thinking man,
for 1t has been the cause Of every nations
downfall on the pages Of history. With the
tremendous power that goes with great
riches in the hands of the few, corruption,
injustice and tyranny always prevail; and
those who have got the power through the
possession of wealth are so crazed with
greed and the love Of power, that they will
hesitate at nothing to increase and per-
petuate both. 70 do this nothing Is so es-
sential as to muzzle the press and prevent
freedom Of thought and speech and as we
get more rotten politically and religiously
that is just what is being done.
Until recent years the right to speak in
the streets Of our cities and large towns
was not denied, and discomfort with exist
ing conditions was freely vented as the
Constitution permits and proclaims It may
be. Now all is changed and the change
has mostly taken place since the conditions
in 1894 created a Coxey army and led 1t
to march on to Washington. In Los
Angeles at that time no restrictions were
placed on street speaking and we whooped
things up good under the impellng forces
that then prevailed to make misery and
discomfort, and It was the same in most
places. Up to that time "our rulers" had
not realized the necessity Of smothering the
voice Of discomfort so fully as they have
since, and now we see city ordinances in
conflict with both state and national con-
situations, denying the right of the people
to assemble and discuss their grievances
unless able to hire a hail. and then do it
under police supervision. When the peo-
pie wish to hold public meetings and to in-|
Blue-grass blade., 1908-03-29

dulge in their right of free speech, that fact
establishes another fact, that there is
something wrong and changes are needed
to undo it. Unless there is and something
of vital Importance draws the people to-
gether no speaker can get crowd, or
hold them if he does.
Here we learn how the necessity for pub
lie meetings may be seen, and when that
necessity exists to deny the right to peace
fully congregate and make known the cause
that have impelled the assemblage is an
act of indefensible tyranny, and should
make The blood Of every true American
boil who reflects on how our government
was formed and the principles that
animated its fouu iers.
Very recently the socialists in Los
Angeles have made earnest efforts to get
a permit for public speaking N the streets,
a privilege which is free'v Civ, to re
ligious fanatics who are bowling nightly
in many places, but 1t was denicE them.
though any morbidmnded half-crazy in.
dividual on religion who wants to talk
about God and an imaginary world of no
concern or Importance, is never denied.
This injustice is so glaring no words can
express the contempt felt for the temporary
possessors of power who are responsible
for It: and so closely are newspapers con-
nected with politics and politicians; so
great is the influence of dollars and
patronage. that none of them protest
against this outrage on equal rights,
and all remain as mum as a clam on
the principle involved Believing they had
a constitutional right to speak on the
streets despite city ordinance. the social
lists made the attempt, and when asked for
their permit read both state and national
constitutions giving the right OF free speech
But Il did no good, city ordinance being
superior to both so the speakers were
placed under arrest, and when bail was
offered for freedom while waiting action
Of the courts in the matter, 800 was de-
handed in each case. though S. or $40 is
generally demanded in misdemeanors no
greater. AS is we'll known socialists are
persistent people not easily squelched so
they have continued to speak and to he
arrested, taking that way to rouse public
opinion on a most vital question-Free-
speech. Probably $500, bail money is now
up, and still they are speaking and being
arrested. and every lover Of liberty glories
in their determination, for It is by and
through such brave and determined char
acters that freedom in every form is OBJ
tanned and perpetuated.
How many who read that immortal say
ing eternal vigligance is the price of
liberty" really think It has serious applica-
lion to the PRESENT. But = does have, and

COOPER AR0USES
BOSTON PEOPLE
REMOVAL OF PARASITES DUE TO
NEW PREPARATIoN-ENR.
NOUS QUANTITIES
SOLD.

BOSTON, Feb. 90. ~ Nothing has
done so much to arouse the people OF
Boston as the immense number of
people who have been relieved of va
rious diseases by preparation known
as Cooper's New Discovery.
This preparation is being introduced
in this city for the first time by L, 7.
Cooper. the young philanthropist, who
has made and is making fortune by
Its sale. The medicine is prepared at
Dayton. Ohio, and is sold for various
forms of stomach trouble. 1t is now
being sold in Boston in such enormous
quantities as to have caused general
discussion by physicians throughout
the city.
Cooper claims that nine-tenths Of all
the ills of mankind emanate from a
iIsurdered stomach, and stated curly
during his visit that his medicine
would overcome all such troubles rs
kidney and liver complaints simply
by restoring the stomach to normal
condition.
A reporter who spent an hour at
Cooper's headquarters. secured state
ments from a number of people who
had tested this theory. The following
story was related by MN. H. Short.
an engineer employed at the Hotel
Touraine, Boston, and living at 3 Hall
street. NIedford. Mass. and is similar
to all the rest. Mr.. Short said:
For a long time have been
troubled with distressed feeling
after eating. Frequently had spells of
excessive vomiting Gas formed on
my stomach and was troubled with
heartburn and the usual symptoms
that accompany dyspepsia and indi-
gestlon. My stomach would bloat and
the abdominal area would expand un-
til was in agony.
II did not know what was the mat
ter with me, and the doctors were as
ignorant regarding my trouble as my
self Nothing l tried gave me the
desired relief.
a was attracted by the accounts Of
the work OF Mr.. Cooper, and concluded
to try his New Discovery medicine. I
experienced almost immediate relief,
and since taking several bottles of
this preparation am feeling like
my old self again. and life now seems
to be worth the living. 1 will always
have a warm spot in my heart for Mr..
Cooper and his remarkable medicine"
These statements and others like
them go far toward accounting for
Cooper's immense success here and
elsewhere. So far every claim made
by the young man seems to have been
verified.
