Two Sides to Question.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

free speech is one of the founda-
tlon tones of the American constitu-
tlon ana as such is defended against
all encroachments by American cit
liens. But law and order are also
conferred upon the American people
by the constitution and should be as
vigorously protected and defended as
the right of free speech There has
been much ado made out of the fact
that Mayor Wilson of Bridgeport has
forbidden agitotors rom indulging
in their talks in the open air on the
very pertinent ground that such agi-
tation is liable to breed bad blood
end incite to disorder and disturbance
of the peace of the community.
The position taken by the mayor
has been justified by judge of the
city court and it is to be passed upon
later on appeal by higher court.
Under the circumstances it is not in
order to dissect this ruling by the
court officials. But it is in order not
to allow our vision to be clouded by
a confusion of the issue. AS a mat
ter of fact there was no attack made
upon the principle of free speech by
Mayor Wilson. The agitators could
have INDUCED in q free and uninter-
rupted flow of speech had they hired
a hall That is what other men do
when they have an important meas
ure to present TO any audience. The
gentlemen in question did not, how
ever, wish to speak in the machinists'
headquarters or in hall. They
wished to harangue an audience of
workmen in the vicinity of the
plant, where they hoped to organize
a strike movement. For the good of
Bridgeport Mayor Wilson forbade
open air speaking upon infiammablo
topics. TIE probably knew that he
would be severely criticised for such
action but the fact that he took that
position and has persisted in it in
spite of violence and rabid attacks in
6icates that he includes courage
among his qualifications as a chief
executive.
The men who are saying in Bridge
port that they will speak when and
where they please, despite the definite
orders of the constituted authorities
to the contrary, are, in the opinion
of many sane and unprejudiced cit
liens, more of a danger to the city,
where they are agitating, than is the
curtailment of loose and incendary
talk which Mayor Wilson has put in
force. Few believe that free speech
in Bridgeport is in danger and those
who do have only to read the mani
festo issued by the labor leaders
calling for the mayors Impeachment
and enumerating his short comings
to realize that speech is SO free in
Bridgeport that it is liable to become
overheated.

THE LIGHT THAT FAILED.

Seemingly the German propagan-
dists have stopped short of nothing
in their efforts to make the United
States of America q tool for Kaiser
ism. From thorough Investigations
made by the Secret Service and from
an expose rendered by the New York
World it is seen that these paid pa
triots of the German Government
have left no stone. unturned to bring
the American people around to theiv
way Of thinking But with all their
energy and ambition they are doomed
to miserable failure. The American
tent. Barnum was the first to dis
cover that fact; but when the wool
/ begins to pull too heavily over their
eyes they are prone to lift the veil
done in the case of Kaiser Wilhelm s
cohorts. ..
Naturally tho good American PEG
pie will resent the insidious activi-
ties of these men who have come
among us as wolves in Sleeps cloth
ing, but there is no need of growing
angry over the whole miserab BILE af-
fair. 70 their ra-stupidity and
assininity must be attributed the
earnestness of their work which has
been productive of so little fruit.
TI,n ~
scorned; pitied because they were
simple enough to try and inculcate
into the hearts of American people
principles and working methods
which are entirely foreign to life en-
this continent; which have stamped
on the very face of them, the slogan.
Made in Germany and which
never thrived in any other place than
the Fatherland.
The one regreta BILE feature of the
whole misera Bile situation is that men
who should have held to their honor
and respect have lowered themselves
and stopped to vileness worthy of
criminals. Men high in the official
life of their country have come to
these shores under the mantle OF
friendship and have desecrated their
trust by sanctioning a conspiracy 20
which they should have never
stopped.
n It is a turning of the tables, so to
speak. The same men who have been
bawIing from the housetops anent the
expenditure of British gold in news
paper Offices of the land have been
fed from the exchequer of the Ber-
lin Government, and fed well. Cola
to them was madness. Naturally
they supposed there were others suf-
fering from the same mania. What
ever else may be said American

Bathing Style.

year in bathing styles as it is in
other respects. Male bathers WORRY

A more startling innovation is the

Chicago police department has de-

Maybe they are. But after all mod

that skirts, shoes, stockings and even

Dickens Advice to Son.

When Charles Dickens son went to
Cambridge the great novelist wrote:
LAS your brothers have gone away
one by one 1 have written to each of
them what l am now going to write
to you.
you know that you have never
been hamrered with religious forms
of restraint and that with mere un-
meaning forms l have no sympathy
But L most strongly and affec-
tionately impress upon you the price,
less value of the New Testament and
the study of that book as the one un-
falling guide in life.
Deeply respecting it, and bowling
down before the character Of our
Saviour, as separated from the vain
constructions and inventions of men;
you cannot go very wrong. and will
always preserve at heart a true
spirit of generation and humility.
Similarly 1 impress upon you
the habit of saying Christian prayer
every night and morning.
"These things have stood by me
all through my life, and remember
that 1 tried to render the New Tes-
lament intelligible to you and low
able by you when you were a mere
baby"
