Just now this is q familiar phrase
in American life. Exactly what ia
intended to be conveyed by the
phrase many do not seem to un.
derstand, 1t might be we'll to study
1t closely If we are to be loyal clti>
zen, as our government expects us
to be.
First, 1t ia not at all necessary
that we actually minister to the
enemy's materia, want, or orde r
to come under the meaning Of the
term. There are q thousand and
one ways-indirect ways--of aid,
ing an enemy. Our present enemy
is fully aware OF this fact. and his
knowledge is shown 10 his extra
ordinary activity in our country.
Ore of the most effective ways
to aid cause is to destroy the
morale Of its opponents. II dis
sension or strife can be sown In
its rank, thsse Of themselves will
soon bring about Its downfall with.
out much effort on the part of Its
opponent.
Unfortunately, there seems to
be current in this country an idea
that any course of action is per.
missable that 10 not directly pro-
hibited by statute law. Acting on
this assumption, opponents Of the
government claim right to criticise
this governments actions because
our constitution guarantees to oil,
freedom of speech. sSuch people
profess to be unable to see where.
10 they can be accused of disloyalty
in exercising q plain right guaran
teed by the constitution.
Fortunately, however, this same
question has arisen before in this
country. In the war between the
States, President Lincoln had the
same difficulty to contend with.
aud he went directly to the root 0t
the matter aud defined for oil tim,
tue rights OF citizens as to freedom
OF speech in times of national
peril. Hear hitn.
He who, dissuades one man
from volunteering, or induces one
soldier to desert. weakens the
Union cause as much NJ he whn
kills n Union soldier in battle.
Yet this discussion or indncemeni
ma, he 81 th'ndnctc.l A to be no
d-hnrd criria of which any
civil ron world take .ognixarce y
President Lincoln went farther
and asserted the indisp able right
nf the government IN suppress all
action and srhe"h that had for it's
object, or tended to, the weaken
ing of the morale of the government
forces.

another man will be elected but not beca1se he is the kind of man for the job but because he too is a good fellow. These things, said MT. Thompson, were not right and the man that was elected should be a man that understood the conditions that surrounded the place he was to take.
 The thing most needed today MT. Thompson said was the separation of the women from the men. In Con- necticut there are a series of institu- tions for the boys and girls and here they are developed without the dan ger of mixing with the more hard ened type of criminal. The young men are better protected at the Cheshire Reformatory than they would be at state prison. Connecti- cuts state prison is we'll established and doing excellent work as is the reformatory.
 But in the words of Warden Mover of Sing Sing: We may do all that we can to improve the physical con- dition and the educational condition but unless there is a power from above we cannot help them." MT. Thompson said that all have to de- pend a great deal on God for results. If the opportunity of education and religion fails when they are put be- fore a man then restrain should be put on him. After such conditions as these have been offered it is up to the man to make himself.
 There are ten sheriffs in the State of Connecticut, said MT Thompson, and these men have charge of differ of are making chairs. others parts of shoes, some are let cut to farmers. many tend lawns in summer and fur naces in winter while in Danbury they nlay checkers Tn country jails where these same men are housed they are sobered LID for a period of ten days and then sent out into the world again only to come back. These men are classed as rounders and follow ing them are the "hoboes,' who beat their way from place to place about the state As an example of the latter MT. Thompson told of one that wrote ahead to the jailer and told him that he was coming but when he did arrive he was few days late JTron his arrival he went to the jaller and apologized for the fact, saying that he had been delayed by a freight week
 Nr, Thompson said that the state is going to have a women's reforma- tory sooner or later and he expected if within a very short time. He could not see why a women should be put in the same prison with men inmates. It is wrong for a girl of sixteen or over to be sent by the state to either of the private institutions where they
