FREE SPEECH

PRIESTS of men who are guilty
N of public speaking on the streets
IA without permission OF the ponce
hoard are still being made in Los An
geles and the question is rapidly near
ing an acute stage. We hope Tor the
sake of the fair fame of our CITY, ana
of it's reputation for sanity, that 1t is
not doomed to be the theater of a con-
tinuous performance OF attempted
public addresses and arrests. Inc
question at issue is this: Are local
authorities superior to the constltu-
ton of the United States9 Can they
make laws of local application Win
out regard to the general national
principles embodied in the constltu-
ton? If so, at what point is their IL
cense to make this breach in the con-
stitutional wall to end? If they can
make local legislation on one local
matter already determined by the
constitution, then they can make To-
cal legislation overriding every consti-
tutional provision and amendment.
The constitution says Congress shall
make no law abridging the freedom of
speech or Of the press, or the right Of
the people peacably to assemble"
Now. as we understand 1t, local
authorities have made a law abridg-
ing the freedom of speech by cur
failing the right of people peace
ably to assemble. The doctrine of
Americanism crystallized in the ma
tional constitution which is at the
foundation of all law and of all lib
erty, is, in the city of Los Angeles, at
variance with an ordinance under

a title conferred by King Edward in
recognition of genuine public service,
had the Joy of his early years of sue
cess clouded by the following sad
event: His father, a minister of the
church, started out with another of his
sons on a walking tour through the
country. While staying at a little viii
lage inn the son suddenly became in
sane, and murdered the father in his
bed.
A terrible happening, and one that
clouded the lives of surviving relatives
with years of sorrow; but I never
heard it suggested that, since sons
were liable to do such deeds, they
should be strangled at birth, or taxed
out Of existence, and their hides tanned

the belief that this foundational
American right, guaranteed generally
in the constitution and explicitly in
article I of the amendments which
without doubt was added in order to
determine positively this very point
has been suspended or annulled in
California or any other integral part

considerable money Wednesday and he
was doubtless killed for his IN oney. His
watch was found where it is said to have
been pawned 10y George Dove, former

This advice was acted on and Dove was
taken to Golcondn and lodged IN Jail.
The circumstances are said to point
strongly to Dove as the guilty man.

day morning with his face frozen fast in
the mud, which had to be thawed with
hot water before his body could he
