Winkelman and other points. Work is being pushed on the Arizona Eastern, as on the Southern Pacific lines. so that an early resump- tion of service may be assured The floods, resulting from the recent heavy rains are about over, so that the gangs may be put to work-and according to the railroad authorities, every effort is being expended to re- pair the weather's damages.

review of these cases shows that while free speech is the right to express ones opinions orally, it is not the right to do so in language of any character, since words which tend to incite to dis order, violence or crime, or language which is blasphemous or obscene may not be used. Neither is it right to ex- press ones opinion for every purpose since one may not incite to disorder or crime or advocate criminal anarchy. Neither is free speech the right to make ones self heard at any time or any place, since that right may not be exercised at times and places when so doing interferes with the equal rights of other persons.

Seizure of kroonIand at Gibraltar by
Great Britain Draws Protest
from Washington.

Washington.-The State Depart
ment has decided to protest to Great
Britain against the detention of the
American steamship Kroonland, held
up at Gibraltar, with some 1900 pas
sengers and a cargo of copper bound
from New York for Italian and Greek
ports.
The British authorities will be ask
ed whether the vessel is held because
of the nature of it's cargo, which has
been declared conditional contraband,
or because German and Austrian re-
servists are among it's passengers. Full
Information concerning the case is
lacking, but upon the facts in hand
State Department officials take the
position that the ship either should be
released or taken forthwith into a
prize court.

".Pick It Up"

Habits formed in childhood are usu-
ally lasting. With that idea as a
basis the playground and school au-
thorities in Rochester have placed
signs conspicuously located on the
Fairgrounds on which are displayed
these words, "Pick it up" The idea is
to have the children clear away the
disorder they create during play be-
fore they leave the grounds. The plan
is reported to have shown immediate
results. 1t has been possible to dis
pense with the caretaker of the
grounds. The boys and girls leave the
grounds in perfect condition. No
waste paper is left scattered about, no
playthings are cut of place, all is
snugged up for closing before the
crowd of rollicking youngsters, leave
their playground. 1t is just as easy
to teach children to be orderly as to
be disorderly

RECORD OF PAGANs IGNORED
March Of Events Brought Forth the
Christian Saint az the Per- :
sonaI Ideal.


The transition. from pagan to medic.
val thinking is marked by the intro.
duction of Christian ideals and the
asceEdancy of the organized church,
asserts a writer in the Engineering
Magazine. The Roman citizen, AMI
mated by the sense of human dig
nifty, had cultivated a quick assertion
of rights and a quick resentment of
wrongs. The Christian priest, humil-
lated by sense of sin, now sounded
the depths of self-sacriflce and bodily
modification The hordes of barba.
rian invaders who exterminated the
martially inclined Romans ignored
the humble early Christian bishops,
and permitted them to possess them
selves of the administrative plan of
the fallen empire, and organize their
church upon it.
Learning also fell into the hands
Of the church, so that soon the story
OF ancient virtue was real only IN
monasteries where viewed as the rec
ord Of pagans, 1t fell coldly upon minds
filled with the doctrine of human
depravity, and cramped into barren
dialectic by the limits which religious
dogma imposed. And so, within the
precincts of the church, in the her
mit's retreat and in protected monas-
teries and nunneries, the image of
the pagan hero faded into the back
ground and that of the Christian saint
was installed as the personal ideal.

Not Quite Pure Gold.

Into a New York jewellery store
there came shy, pretty young lady
with her engagement ring, which had
been bought there and which she
would like to have changed.
The ring fitted her exactly and she
was greatly pleased with the noble
sentiment of the inscription, What
e'er betide, let love abide" but she
did not like its arrangement.
Examination showed that the stolid.
unimaginative old German engraver
had carved in the sentence regardless
of the ring-maker's little stamp of
quality, and so 1t read. 'Whate'er be-
tide, let lax love abide."-Judge.
