WHAT .FREE SPEECH MEANS.

William J. Bryan draws the line between free speech" and treasona- ble utterance in the following:
 Before our nation enters war it is perfectly proper to discuss the wisdom of going to war, but the dis ,cussion is closed when congress acts. After that, no one should be per mitted to cloak attacks upon his government or aid to the enemy under the claim that he is exercising free dom of speech. No sympathy, there fore, will be wasted upon those who have been arrested for unpatriotic utterances. They abuse free speech. allies as we'll as to attacks on the United States. We can no more allow our allies to be crushed than we can afford to be crushed ourselves. The defeat of our allies would throw the whole burden of war upon us. We must stand together and fight it through. There are only two sides to a war-every American must be on the side of the United States" Of loke tenor is the following from the Chicago Record-Herald:
 Free speech has never assured to cense to islander.
 Free speech has never guaranteed the privilege of uttering false and malicious words.
 "Free speech has never included the right to indulge in obscenity and blas- phemy.
 "Free speech has never rendered unpunishable incitations to riot or dis order.
 Free speech has never assured to the individual the rieht to interfere with the conduct of the international affairs of the nation.
 Free speech, like every other right or liberty which men have enjoyed, has been controlled and conditioned by law and by practical considera- tions. There is not now and there never has been philosophically abso- lute freedom to say and to print what ever the mind of any man imagined regardless of the well being and the safety Of his neighbors.'

CONGRESS- AND THE NEWSPAPERS.

The narrowness of some memb4rs of congress in their attitude toward the newspapers of the country is equalled only by their seeming ignor- ance of the service the newspapers have rendered the government and the people. These men argue that the newspapers should be willing to con- tribute literally Of their stock in trade-advertising space-because the postal department hauls the news papers at one cent pound to points outside the county of publication, and without charge inside the county. To enumerate the services Nen- dered the people and the government .by tn newspapers would be to re- view the history of every government bureau. There isn't one that would amount to anything but for the pub licity given by the newspapers. These bureaus send out literature, it is true, but the stuff they send out is read about as much as the congress sional record. Only when the news papers pick out the "hve" topics from a mass of dead" stuff do the people get the benefit of the operations of these departments.
 Consider the department of agricul- ture for instance: How much help would it be to farmers but for newspaper publicity? The department of agriculture has rendered greater and more costly service to the farm CTS than the postal department has given the newspapers, but none of these congressmen- in their attitude towards newspapers-is heard contending that the farmers should contribute part of their pro 'duce to the government in return for this service, but there would be as much justice in that as ill the con tention that the newspapers should give their stock in trade. sha. ". As a matter of fact, the postal de. partment does not lose a penny in handling newspapers. There is a loss in handling magazines and sim liar publications.
 Congressmen themselves are re- sponsible for some of the loss of the postal department They have chance to remedy this, but they refuse to do so, The franking privilege is thus re- sponsible for the postal department carrying tons and tens of mail for nothing. If the congressman would ] abolish the franking privilege, they'd
 find that postal expenses would de
 crease. Tons and tons of mail mat
 ter have been sent out under tine
 franking privilege to support some
 body's pet theory, political issue or
 candidate. Even pro-German propa-
 ganda, put out by -pacifists,
 has been carried free under congress sional frank.
 l The narrow minded ones in con gress do not see any of these abuses, nor do they realize the part the news
 papers have had in upbuilding govern
 ment departments. Assuming that congress owns the postal system and
 that it is rendering the newspapers
 service below cost, they hold that the
 newspapers should do that which they
 have not the audacity to ask of any
 other industry: to give to the gov
 ernment stock in trade-advertising space that should be paid for.
