When the War is Over

The present war has conclusively
proved the fallacy OF the old argu-
ment that big armies and navies pre-
serve the peace. When the war is
over the diplomats and statesmen OF
all nations must realize that the only
way TO preserve peace permanently
is by universal disarmament. Not the
conquered alone but the conquerors
also must disband their standing
armies. dismantle their forts, and
convert their warships into merchant
men IL permanent peace is to prevail
and the crushing financial burden OF
militarism be lifted. This is the great
problem to be faced when the war is

A judge of q state court whose cleo
ton was under contest threw him in
jail for contempt.
In SO doing. Judge Redman, OF the
state court, was following the prece-

of Toledo. for publishing things OF and
concerning the court which annoyed"
the aforesaid Judge Killits. and he
said made it hard for him TO do his
work.
Remember. now. Judge Killits is a
United States Judge In Ohio. The
other editor-baiter is a state Judge in
Indiana. From the Vigo county jail.
Mr. Cogston laid his case before Unit
ed States Judge A. b. Anderson, OF the
Indiana Jurisdiction, and Judge An
derson. armed with the power OF I'm
Gle Sam, struck off the bonds OF Ed
tor Clogston. An officer OF the state
court-presumably one of the gang
mentioned by Mr.. Clogston, suggested
to Judge Anderson that Mr.. Clogston
should be ordered not to publish any
more "contemptuous" articles while
hinder bond: but this old-fashioned
Judge said that the editor should not
be prevented from telling the truth.
He disclaimed any knowledge as 10
whether or not what Clogston had
published was the truth. but he add
ed. 1T is a strange state Of things
when a newspaper Is prohibited from
telling the truth"
And that means just this: That q
newspaper must be free to publish

ject TO punishment II IL libels, Sian
ders or violates morals. II may be
punished after the publication, but II
may not be prohibited beforehand
Punishment of the offense Is as effec-
tual to prevent abuses of freedom OF

but IL a publication may be enjoined

the press In that moment passes from
the hands of publishers into the
hands of judges.
The press must be free or all other
freedom Is in peril.
| That Indiana state judge Is not
obliged to read Clogston's paper IL It's
language bothers him. None OF the
grand Jurors or other officials engag
ed In the election investigation are
obliged to read 1t. Judge Killits de
cided that Cochran's criticisms in the
Toledo News-Bee hindered him in the
transaction of the business OF his
court, and were therefore in contempt
OF court: but he did not say who

Both these arrests for contempt are

usurpation OF power and OF an attack
on the ancient liberty OF the press In
making the arrests.
There Is an old rule under which
courts can punish contempts commit

Resents Hour-Parkine Order.
To the Editor Of The Times:
The only conclusion that can draw
from Police Commissioners Gillesples
order that Detroit automobiles may
be left standing for no longer than
one hour at a time. is that the city
and the several large new garages
which have come into existence with
in the past month, have had a grand
little get-together. Mr.. Gillespie's ad-
vice that cars be parked on Cadillac
"a. aud Bagley-ave., for a man who
does not care to swell the income or
private garage owners, Is all right as
far as IL goes, but any man with eyes
and a nominal amount OF brain, can
see that there is only room on these
streets for a very small part OF the
automobiles in daily use by business
men with Offices In the downtown dis
trict. The plea that Mr.. Millionbucks
is now compelled to soil his feet on
the pavement for little ways In get
ting out of his limousine makes IL nice
for the limousine owner who has Q

but where do we ordinary mortals who
use our little machines in business
get on?
This argument does not hold water
anyway, as there is always room be-
Nv cen automobiles for a man to walk.
Justice and fairness require that
some provision be made for the enor-
nous number of machines in daily use
in Detroit, and there is no other prac-
teal place where they may be left
for an hour, or half day IL necessary.

the curb where they are in nobody's
way. The few banks and stores who
have patrons arriving and departing
In automobiles, are entitled to clear
