FREEDOM OF SPEECH

The constitution guarantees to every man freedom
OF speech. 1t also guarantees to all persons the right
TO assemble In a peaceful manner. But persons whose
Intentions are quite peaceful may and sometimes are very
properly denied the opportunity to assemble, and as
semblaEes whose members have no intention of disturb
ing the peace are sent home. A public gathering Of any
Kind may be prohibited If it is likely to endanger the
peace Of the community, and it may do SO even though
in itself It is orderly. During q period of general dis
turbance meetings of all kinds are prohibited. The con-
stMution Is not suspended, but the right of the commu-
nifty under the constitution to enjoy peace takes pre-
cedence over the right Of assemblage, which is always
subordinate to the supreme right Of the community.
What is true of public meetings is true of public
speech. And what is true of the right Of the local COM
muntty to protect It's own peace and order Is true in even
larger measure of the right of the nation to protect, It
self ito maintain its existence. and to defend its prin-
ctples. '
Whenever it appears that a "peace" meeting Will
tend to obstruot the nation in the performance OF the
work which has been undertaken for the safeguarding
OF the trusts imposed upon the nation, it is not only the
right but the duty of the public authorities to prohibit
such meetings, the governor of North Dakota to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. -

at the head Of such a government what would he the IN
ternationai situation? Is It possible for the real democ-
racies OF the world eyer to treat with a government, no
matter what its form, which Is headed. by the man who.
as the present head Of the government. has been de-
nounced as utterly unworthy to be trusted? It does not
seem so.
II the allies persist In their present sttitude, and
they cannot do otherwise. the Hohenzoilern dynasty
must be ended. There seems to- be no escape from that.
Whether Germany becomes q republic or retains the
nonarchial form under some other head is a secondary
matter, and one on which the allies would not be likely
to insist. But the conditions which have been created
are such that the Hohenzollerns must be eliminated from
the rulership Of the world.

AUTOGRAPHS DEATH WARRANT

This war is often accurately described as one between
autocracy and democracy. That is true, but it is a gem
erauzation. That generalization involves certain partic-
ulars. One Of them is that the democracies of the world
are committed to the policy of continuing the war until
the ambitious designs Of Germany to impose her will on
the world shall be ended definitely and for all time.
That involves certain changes within Germany, the Gre
alton Of a German: government which will represent. the
spirit of@denocracy in Germany, for without that change
there can be no acceptance Of Germany again as a men,
Der of the worlds family Of nations. Has 1t been re-
served for the president Of the great republic Of the new
world to write the death warrant Of the most autoorauc
dynasty that now ,reigns over a great nation, and Of
those who participate with that family In the rulership?
The reply Of President Wilson to the Pope's peace
proposals sets forth so clearly that there can be no mis-
understanding of its meaning that the United States will
enter into no peace compact with the German govern
mont as at present Constituted. That attitude is due to
no desire to dictate the domestic policy Of any nation or
to interfere with It's form of government. But the present
German government is armed with a power which it has
used brutally, treacherously and maliciously. It cannot
be permitted longer to retain that power, no matter what
willing to sign.
We may assume quite safely that the reply was not
drafted on the spur Of the moment. While we do not
know Just what conference there has been with other
powers, It goes without saying that in a matter SO grave,
both the subject matter Of the replies. to be made and the
order and manner of their presentation have been care
fully studied by all the nations allied with the United
States. We may assume. therefore. that the reply Of the
United States is In accord with the sentiment Of all our
allies, and that the president Of the United States was de-
Nberately chosen as the spokesman Of the entire group.
The allied democracies are therefore all committed to the
principles enunciated in the presidents reply.
The situation, then, in brief, is that no peace will be
made with Germany until she has reformed her govern
ment and made that government really representative of
and really responsible to her people. How can this be
done?
Germany is now. operating ostensibly under 4 limit
ed monarchy. with a fixed constitution and popular rep
resentation in the law-making body. In fact, the Ger
man government, framed under the shrewd manipula-
ton OF Bismarck, contains scarcely the rudiments of
democracy, and the kaiser Is almost as absolute in fact
s~aa the Russian car was in form. That could be RENEE
