The Right of Free Speech

Our position on the censorship of American
newspapers has been clearly stated.
We wonder why our representatives and SEN
ators do not read the speeches made before and
after the Revolutionary war on the subject of
free speech. Our forefathers believed this prin-
ciple SO vital that they were willing to sacrifice
their lives for it's perpetuation, and yet we of a
later generation are asked to surrender the right
to a president.
The impassioned speeches of the leaders of
the French revolution are replete with vehement
denunciations of tyrants who tried to curb the
utterances Of patriots, and yet we are asked, in
republic and at date when the press is looked
upon as the guardian of liberty, to submit tame
ly to it's muzzling.
If the United States Congress bows to the
wish of the officials who want Americans kept in
ignorance and denied their constitutional rights,
the American people will raise storm of protest
such as never has rolled over this continent.
Free people want free speech and the right
to say what they please when they please ire
spective of the political leaders who happen to
hold office. A government official is servant
of the people, not boss of the people, and we
intend to let them know that this is our position.

A Free Prescription You Can Ha,
Filled and Use at Home.


Boston, Mass.-Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses, and those
who wear glasses, will be glad to know
that Doctors and Eye Specialists now
agree there is real hope and help for
them. Many whose eyes were failing
say they have had their eyes restored
and many who once wore glasses say
they have thrown them away. One
many says, after using it: II was al.
most blind Could not see to read at
all. Now I can read everything with
out my glasses, and my eyes do not
hurt any more. At night they would
pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all
the time. 1t was like miracle to me"
A lady who used it says: THE atmos-
phere seemed hazy with or without
glasses, but after using this prescrip-
ton for fifteen days everything seems
clear. l can read even fine print with
out glasses Another who used It
says: Il was bothered with eye strain
caused by overworked. tired eyes
which induced fierce headaches. I
have worn glasses for several years,
both for distance and work. and with
out them I could not read my own
name on an envelope or the typewrit-
ing on the machine before me. I can
do both now, and have discarded my
long distance glasses altogether.
can count the fluttering leaves on the
trees across the street now, which for
several years have looked like dim
green blur to me. cannot express my
joy at what it has done for me-"
1t is believed that thousands who
wear glasses can now discard them in
a reasonable time, and multitudes
more will be able to strengthen their
eyes SO as to be spared the trouble and
expense of ever getting glasses.

A New Deal in the Commercial Club

spring drive for new members of the Com
mercia Club is on
The results of this campaign will affect every
man, woman and child in Richmond The future
greatness of the city will be shaped in an appre-
cable measure at least by the regeneration that
IS going on in this civic body.
A call for action is sounded.
The men who are soliciting your membership
IN the club are not supplicants but patriots, and
they are asking you to join them for the common
good of the whole community.
Excuses galore can be made by those who
want to shirk and dodge membership in the club.
. The excuses could be mentioned here and the re-
buttals printed along side of them
But this would be waste of time.
The rejuvenation of Richmond, the increase
of its population, the betterment of conditions
these are matters of public concern, questions
that should be near the heart of every citizen,
irrespective of whether he is merchant, banker,
manufacturer or wage garner
The fullest cooperation of the citizenship, the
harmonious get-together and pull-together spirit
of the community will make the Commercial
Club what it should be, namely, the very heart
of civic activity and progress.
The president of the club has outlined his
program. He cannot accomplish his aims unless
hundreds OF citizens join the club and until hun
dreds become imbued with his ideas.

COL. STEPHEN M, F0OTE,
Former Addison County Man Rec
ommends Universal Service,

One of the army officers called before
the Senate committee on Military affairs
was Col, Stephen M. Foote, Coast Ar
tillery Corps, Col. Foote is native of
New Haven and during his boyhood
lived in Brooksville. He entered Mid
dlebury College in the class of 1888, but
left after one year to enter West Point.
His plan is to call all boys Of seven
teen, and requires them to undergo
training during the summer for four
years, so that, by the time they reach
the age of twenty-one, they will be
ready to become reservists. No further
training should be required after twenty
one, but they should be subject to the
call of Congress in time of necessity,
In advocating this plan, Col. Foote
declared it would entail no unnecessary
hardships, would provide for liberal eX-
emptions and would give, after becom-
ing fully effective, about 1000, 900
reservists, whose members would con-
stantly be enlarged with the develop
ment Of the plan.
To make the system effective the
following new Legislation was recon-
mended:
Provide for enrolment annually, to
take effect June l6, every boy who had
become seventeen since June 10 of the
proceeding year.
Provide for intensive field training of
all those enrolled and not exempted for
physical or other reasons for three
months each summer for four successive
years,
For the sake of convenience, Col.
Foote recommended that the formation
of the encampments be accomplished
by Congressional districts, because
these already have been well divided as
to population. His plan contemplates
445 districts, and there could be the
organization of a regiment in each.
C2l, Foote recommended pay of one
third the amount paid in the regular
army, for three months: Private, SIS;
Corporal, S2l; Sergeant, $50; subsst-
ence, $50; clothing, $40; transportation,
an average of $40.
