our FREE sPEECH.

There is at the base of most OF
the dislOyalty evidenced IN this
country, one OF the basic prin-
cipleS upon which this government
was founded freedom of speech.
The trouble, however, lies not with
the principle itself so much is with
Its erroneous application.
First, we must realize, which
many have not, that there can be
no such thing as absolute free
speech. Theories and honest
views as to the expedieney of JUS
tice of proposed laws are perfect
~ proper before the enactment of
such laws. The undisputed right
of the majority to rule imposes up
on the minority, after its enact
ment, the duty Of absolute ODE
dlence. Any other view of the
matter tends to the destruction Of
the very fabric Of free govern
ment.
In times of peace and quietness
this view of the citizens duty to
government has always been lib
orally construed, and much really
reasonable criticism has been pas
sed over and condOned. From this
leniency there has arisen in the
minds of many 6nthinking persons
an idea that the right to express
ones thoughts, no matter how
reasonable those thoughts may
be is one of the inalienable rights
of free men.
"a little sober reflection viii
show the fallacy of such reason
ing. We have laws against muir
der, arson, rape and many other
crimes. Would any dare raise
their voice against obedience to
those laws? How long would such /
a person remain at Target
But these, you may say, are VI
tally necessary. Granted, but we
will 60 further.
Taxes are levied, and all are re-
quired to pay. Have you the
right to counsel resistance to the
tax collector or throw obstacles
IN his way? You may not APP
prove of the particular law under
which the taxes are levied and
collected. You have a perfect
right to seek to have the law re-
but no right to seek to
evade it. 1t is the viii of the ma
Jority, and as such must stand un-
TIL repealed by majority.
While the seleetive draft lay
was Tending in congress every
citizen had right to |,
raise his voice against it if he felt
20 inclined. But after its passage
10 person has the right to counsel
)r practice resistance to it.
The rule is absolute. Its enforce
nent has not always been strict !
nut this, as we have stated, was
tue to undue leniency when the {
lrge of public safety did not de- Z
nand strict measures. Now, how d
yer, public safety demands i'm
'llcit obedience to the laws of the p
and, and every loyal citizen will 81
brow the whole weight of his in II
luence in the scale on the side Of o.
ne law and public security. "
To do otherwise is to betray the IN
overnment that harbors and pro-
ects you. II

Real Progress Is Noted for
League TO Enforce Peace

According TO official literature sent out
by the League to Enforce Peace, with
headquarters in No 20 F.fth-aye., New
York. much serious recognition IS being
given TO this project
The Allies reply 90 Presiden, Wilson
contained the statelRan. that they assoc

league has proposed that they make.
Theodore Marburg, Of Baltimore, chair
man Of the committee or foreign organi-
zation of the league. has received a letter
from the political department Of Switzer-
land which assures him OF the very dis
tinguished consideration Of the project, .
and from Don Amaho Gimino minister
Of foreiso- affairs Of Spain. assurances
that Spain will lend its concourse TO the
realization of such d humanitarian anu
lofty project should there De an opportu-
nifty Of doing so with q guarantee OF an
success.

am one of those who love things.
There are those to whom things make
no matter. They would as soon be IN one
place as in another, and OF those folk
there are two kinds
First. the sensually Indifferent. includ-
ing them that care naught for their sur
roundingS, whether they be sordid or fine,
SO long as their bellies are filled and their
backs covered. and say, pipe and glass
thereby. These be not unhappy souls
pachydermously comfortable, moving
like an armored train thru the assault, OF
uglineSs and naStineSs of an untoward
world, and suppose that contentment,
even if it be swinish, is not to be sneezed
at.
And second, the spiritually Indifferent
embracing all them that, either by elc-
walton of soul or preoccupation OF mind
can walk thru dirty alleys filled with
squalling children or thru Elysian fields
of flowers and fountains. thinking in
either case only of the blessedness Of sal
walton or of the mystery Of statistic,
chess problems. Greek verbs or poetry.
But the most of us are sensitive 70
our environment; beauty cheers Us and
uglinesS offendS.
And the love Of beautiful things is en-
tirely without regard TO their cost. A
friend made me, for my portrait of Jo-
seph Jefferson. a picture frame out OF
fence plank. decorously colored brown
and curiously studded with old nails
which | love. Another friend gave me
costly picture in frame of scream
NJ gilt, which | passed on to the jan
tor.
We may have TO be poor but none Of
MS have to live in ugliness. ! will not
pass my days with unspeakable wall
paper. nor with table and chair and cup
board that shout TO me- every time look
at them the gospel Of commonplaceness.
lcheapness. and drabness.
Don't tell me you can't help it. and you
can't afford it, and all that Whoever
loves beauty acquires the beautiful. The
soul spins its own web. secretes its own
she'll And blessed are they that hunger
and thirst after beauty. for they also
shall be filed.
Why. a self-respecting woman ought 10
hoose her work-basket her table and her
,edstead as meticulously as she chooses
her husband
