New Freedom" which has been given
them by the President. He wrote a
book on that subject in which he told
the businessmen that he knew much
better what was good for them than
they did and assured them that they

laws, income taxes, war taxes, our

the Department of Justice business
men generally feel that they have re-

chained. The administration. it
seems has discovered this, and as
election time approaches it seeks TO
soothe business with soft words. We
doubt its potency to satisfy.

Protective Measures Needed.

To the Editor of The Star.
During the past ten years in Wash
ington there have been many cases OF
women attacked by men who had been
warned to keep away. The most i'm
portant duty of government is to pro-
tect the weak-women, children and
animals-who cannot protect them
selves After a woman has told a man
to let her alone he should be arrested
and placed under bond If he ringslh her
door bell. waits on the street for her
or even writes to her. or calls her on
the phone. Whether the delinquent is
husband. lover or relative should make
no difference. 1t should be made i'm
possible for irresponsible people to buy
pistols, explosives or poisons. In or
der to buy pistol or explosive an ap-
plication should be signed and pub
lished. and bond required. How many
killings are necessary to arouse Con-
gress and others in authority?
