NO FREE SPEECH.

If you meet man who begins to
curse you and call you bad names you
feel at liberty to knock him down if you
are able, or to call policeman il you
prefer::to bring him to account IN that
way.
Later, you 60 to court to bear witness
as to what the agressor said and he ad-
mits your statements to be true. In de-
fence, however, he pleads that this is a
free country and that the constitution
guarantees "free speech and that he
was only carrying out his constitutional
rights.
1 But the Judge fines him just the same
ana in spite of the constitution.
f Now the fact is that the constitution
does not allow "free speech" 1t does
not allow one person to abuse another,
on the contrary it specifically prevents
any person from abusing the rights Of
another. All good government is found.
led on this specific principle.
y
The government OF this country is
vested in tue people. Whenever man
begins to call names, and otherwise
abuse the government of the country.
he thereby abuses every person who
forms part Of the government.
When man abuses President Wilson
he Is abusing; every patriotic citizen of
the United States. When man as
serts that Congress Is run in the inter-
ests Of trusts and monopolies, that the
war is simply a money making PROPOSE
tion Of the rich. ETC., he is talking about
you and me, for the Congress is COM
posed Of men who are, representatives Of
the people, and We are part Of the peo-
pie.
It is the style Of many people to kick
at sort Of image that they have con-
structed ont Of more or less tangible
material. i is like hanging man in
smgy. The only reason they kick OF
hang indirectly is because they them
selves know that "iree speech" must moi

Now, it is up, to General Townley.
LaFollette was there by the invitation
of Townley. LaFollette's stand in re-
ference to the war was we'll known to
Townley and every one who reads the

sort of man aFollette is and knew the
kind Of speech be would certainly make.
The only doubt being just how far he
would 60 IN reasonable utterances.
But in lnterviews given to the daily
press since the meeting, Townley rather
repudiates his own speaker and tells the
reporters that his own speech and the
resolutions give the real sentiments of
the meeting.

Townley intended he should and bit and
snarled at the people of this country.
When Townley is asked if he we're res

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.


Last week the British made large
advance along twelve mile front IN
Flanders. The Germans made many
desperate attempts to drive them back
with counter assaults but without re-
suit except to loss large number Of
killed and wounded. Nearly three thou
sand prisoners were taken by the Brit
ish.
AS we write on Thursday, the tele.
graph brings news that General Haig
I started another drive on Wednesday
along six mile front in the same locall-
ty and had gone two thirds of a mile in
some places, with the fighting furious
about all day. His dispatches claim
that his troops had reached their OBJ
jectives were holding their gains in spite
of strong counter assaults.
London was visited with two aero
plane raids which we're driven away,
though they managed to kill a few peo-
pie before they left.
British ships bombarded Ostend but
results are not known.
The weekly submarine list Of casual
ties is the smallest since "frightfulness"
began. Only thirteen large ships were
sunk.
Considerable artillery work near Yer

vicinity soon.
The great objective of the Allies
would seem to be the German submarine
base at Bruges, which is not many miles
away from the present battles in Elan.

assaults north Of Ypres, near the sea,
which section has been held by the

The new playing manager Of The

Every fan whom Hall and Ray

All past enmity by Tealey's play

of several pennants that seemed
within easy reach, had been for

Gloomy Granstrom
Takes Stable East

Paul ("Gloomy") Granstrom
who has dabbled In the boxing
game in Tacoma for several years
is going into the real game Of fight
promoting and managing.
He leaves next week for Gin
cinnati, where he joins George W.
Bishop, formerly of Tacoma, who
is engaged at present in introduc-
ing western boxers to the eastern
fans. Gloomy" will take at least
two boxers with him, and 1t will
be his duty in the future to act
as assistant to Bishop by oversee
ing the training of the different
boxers and doing general manager
ial work that is assigned to him.
Granstrom already has railroad
tickets for his trip east. He will
take Joe Benjamin, featherweight,
former protege of Paul Steele but
for more than a year living in
Portland. Bert Forbes of Seattle
who boxes in both the light and
feather classes, is almost certain
to be the third member of the
party.
Travie Davis of Everett, one of
the flashiest lightweights in the
Northwest has already arrived in
Clnci. Together with Billy Weeks,
Canadian championship claimant
in the middleweight division, Bish-

op and Granstrom will have busy

The Tacoma man says that ar
rangements have been made for a
stopover at Spokane, and two In
Montana and Idaho. In each
place either BENJAMIN or Forbes
will go on with some local boy,
These bouts will help defray ex-
penses of the eastern trip.
II do not know why Mr.. Bishop
has settled in Cincinnati, but I
have good guess" said Gloomy
Granstrom today.
He was always a pioneer in the
boxing game, and took delight in
building up the sport in a COM
munity where it had never been
adopted. l believe that Mr.. Bishop
thinks Cincinnati will soon be IA
good boxing town, and he figures
on being In on the ground floor
In my opinion, he will have a
mighty fast stable"
Granstrom tried to sign up Muff
Bronson, the Portland feather sem
sation, and Lloyd Madden, who
boxed in Seattle Wednesday night
but they would not consider an
eastern trip.
Gloomy" will be remembered
as the manager of Billy Weeks
when the Portuguese boxer was in
Tacoma last winter.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Jan. -.
One of the most picturesque
figures in western sportdom,
Wallace B. Couts at 70 is still an
athlete.
For 90 years he has been identi-
fled with aristocratic sport If
handling field trial dogs and even
now he is frequently seen in the
saddle and on foot directing the
running of settlers and pointers.
Couts in the early days won re-
nown in other athletic features.
Coming to New York from Scot
land In 1871, he was heralded as
bare fist fighter. In unlimited
bouts he held his own with the
best of them in that rough and
ready game. Besides this he fig
ured in professional foot racing
for a time, but finally gave 1t up
to return to his best loved sport
in the fields with the dogs.

I'VE deeply regret that drastic
means that have been forced upon
us and the trouble in which they

that doesn't crumble the fratern-

see this thing through.
There is absolutely no moral
or material basis for a strike by
our own players" said President
John X. Tener of the National
league, when told Of Fultz' state
ment. Tener declined to say what
retaliatory means would be en-
ployed in case of a players strike.

I've seen about everything there

that the dogs are as good, IL not
