RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH
Is It Only a Pleasant Little Fiction
with Which We Tickle Our Fancy2

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. The right to freedom OF speech Is
one OF the guarantees OF the Constitution
which was so dearly won. and which we
Americans have always prided ourselves
was the inalenablo right OF every citi-
zen. Your news columns have recorded
number OF recent instances OF the denial
OF free speech by officials In various parts
OF the country. The happenings at Little
Falls. y. Y, again call attention TO the
growing tendency to disregard this funda-
mental right The Tribune has always
fought any entertainments on our consti-
tutional rights, and l am sure you Will
uphold them in this instance.
