 In her own room, Miss Churchill was dreaming too; but her dreams were waking dreams and pleas ant ones-dreams of dainty little girls, with silky golden locks, tied up with fresh carelessfy knotted pink bows, who would cudde at her feet and mother their dolls, who would sit with contained rapture by her side when she went forth to drive.

Miss Eva Mylott the Australian con-

the exact date of her arrival IN sgd

that her native town Is planning all
sorts of "A high time when its favorite
daughter reaches there after many

Many of the friends Miss Mylott
made on her trip down here have ask
ed her to sing certain songs, and for
that reason she has been unable to
make up her mind regarding her pro-
gram. The requests have ranged
through the entire gamut, from the
simple old melodies OF our grand
parents to the last, least word in the
art as known in the salons of Paris,
, London and New York.
The singer declares that her voice,
strained by her long, hard trip with
the Russian symphony Orchestra, has
completely recovered its verve and
power, through the long rest she has
had while on shipboard.

Abuse of Free Speech

Holding that the Industrial Work
ers of the World is an unlawful or
ganization working to an unlawful
end, Grays Harbor Judge has de-
clared that the authorities have the
right to close halls at which meet
ings are attempted. Warning is
given socialists that in supporting
the seditious elements that have
been agitating what they term
revolution" they are rushing into
trouble, and it is intimated that So
cialist halls will also be closed by
order of the court if the preachment
of disrespect for the flag and dis
loyalty to the government continues.
There will probably be prating now
about the rights of free speech and
free assemblage. 1t is the old ques-
ton of where liberty ends and IL
cense begins. 1t is we'll to remember
however, that sedition is crime,
and that when meetings are held for
avowedly seditious or revolutionary
purposes, crime is being committed
and it has been held, over and over
again, by the courts, that the right
of the police authorities to take sum-
mary action in the emergency OF
crime shall not be denied. The ques-
ton at Aberdeen was whether prop
erty owner had the right to turn his
property over to the meeting of an
organization branded by the court as
an unlawful one working to an I'M
| lawful end.
The courts warning to the social
lists is particularly opportune. Many
good people that have allied them
selves with that political faith need
to be stirred to cleansing their own
party of the seditious spirit, mani
tested at the socialist state conven-
ton in Seattle when the red flag was
hung up. the Stars and Stripes hiss
ed and barred, and the socialist who
made a plea for the American en-
blem forcibly elected from the hall.
If socialists are sincere in their doc
trine of government regulation it is
untenable for them to oppose police
regulation of incendiary meetings.
Fee speech, free press and free as
semblage are the proud boast Of
every patriotic American, but that
he will not tolerate seditious abuse
of those privileges is shown conclu-
sively by the way in which the Grays
Harbor citizens have rallied about
the authorities in their enforcement
of the law against the revolution.

Considering that the present law

Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Ell

things: Il am for freedom of relig.

bring about legal ascendency of one

Constitution to silence by force and
not by reason the complaints or criti-
cisms just or unjust of our citizens

In letter to Washington in 1892
Jefferson made this comment on the
subject of the press: Mature has

sitting out the truth either in relig-
ion, law or politics.

Right from the Shoulder

Albert Johnson, the Hoquiam edi-
tor who is a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for congressman at
large, is rare avis among polti-
clans He made a speech the other
night at Hoquiam, denouncing the
I. W. w. and its methods, and it was
a shoulder striker, too. 1t was so
good that the big daily papers of the
Northwest all used from one to two
columns of it, Most officeseekers of
this day and age make it a practice
to preserve a discreet silence when
such subjects come up for discussion.
They are afraid it might cost them
a few votes to express their opin-
ions. Mr.. Johnson takes the position
that if he can't think what he wants
to think, he doesn't care whether he
gets an office or not. The newspaper
business at Hoquiam is fair to mid
dim and he can make living and
have good time right at home. Even
an !. w. w. has to respect man
who carries principles of that kind
around with him.-Yakima Republic.

they receive Government is costing
more than it is actually worth in SER
vice. The people do not get a dol
lars worth of government for every
dollars worth Of taxes eXacted from
them. There are too many leaks in
the system. There are too many
sinecures. Politics plays too big a
party in the affairs of the city. There
is too much extravaganza, too much
inefiiciency in the public service.
Public money seems to be easy
money, and public office, more or less,
is a mere snap, the inheritance OF
placehunters, billiards do-nothings
and the ne'er do wells of society.
One of the most difficult things in
America is to get men in the public
service who will regard the public
fund as trust fund and public Office
as sacred trust. Failure to under
stand the sacred character of pub
lie administration in all of it's phases
and details is largely responsible for
the appalling waste which charact
erizes government in every big city
of the continent, and, as Mayor Cot
terill suggests, inevitably will create
a demand for a change, not of ad-
ministrators merely, but of the form
of the government also.
The demand here and elsewhere is
for economy and efficiency in the
public service, and if these benefits
cannot be secured under the present
form of government, it is a foregone
conclusion that some new form will
be tried. The fight is against inef
ficiency and extravaganza in govern
ment, and the fight will go on until
the people get the kind of govern
ment to which they are entitled

Religious Freedom.

Editor Herald:
There is very widespread agitation
at the present time in behalf of civic
Righteousness and for laws designed
to express more clearly the will of the
people The cause for this agitation
is said to be the unrest and uncer-
tainty which prevails throughout the
world. But in the proposals to &C.
complish certain reforms, men con-
tinue to differ in opinion as to the
value and constitutionality of meas
ures which are designed to amelio-
rate conditions.
Legislation which will conserve the
inherent rights of all, and at the same
time control malefactors of all class
es, high and low, rich and poor.
seems difficult to construct. History
affords abundant evidence that sta
tutes designed for good from the
viewpoint of their original proponents,
have been used to prosecute dissen-
tiers, especially is this true of laws
affecting religious relations.
A religious convention was held in
New Orleans, November, 1910, at
which the following resolution was
adopted:
"RESOLVED, That the Congress of
the United States be earnestly re-
quested to amend Section 1898 Of the
revised statutes of the United
States relating to the mailing of oh.

so that the same shall include the
mailing of books, papers, writings,
