Never in this country has there
been freedom of speech in the sense
that a man could say what he want
ed to without being responsible for
his words. No freedom OF that kind
yer has existed anywhere in the
world. A maj could talk In Reyoiu-
tionary days. but II he said improper
things he had to suffer the conse-
duences. So 1t Is In time of peace.
All our laws on SANDER and libel are
based on this principle. When an in
dividual feels he is injured wrongly
he can sue. The redress of the state,
in case it determines that the talker IL
a public enemy, lies through a GRIM
inal action. The right OF freedom Of
speech is hedged about with restrfc-
tions.
But in war times the liberty Of the
individual has always been still fur
Their abridged. This is true because
he is one Of the group which makes
up the nation. To give aid and COM
fort to the enemy Injuries every man
in the state. Therefore society takes
away from the individual the power
to abuse freedom OF speech and ac-
ton. 1t suggests that he moderate
the expression of his views. IfNhe is
a persistent offender it imprisons him.
may stand him with his back to a wall
before a firing squad. These powers
spring from the very nature of the
social compact. They are born Of
the right to self-preservation.
The problem of loyalty was perhaps
a more pressing one in the days Of
George Washington than it Is even in
those of woodrow Wilson. The col
onists were mostly English in descent.
Many of them had come over recent
~. Thousands held tenaciously for
one reason or another to the old
country. An odd fact is that in New
York. which had largely been settled
by the Ditch. the percentage of Tories
was greater than in Massachusetts or
Virginia. Hundreds Of Dutch names
crop up among those accused Of sid
ing with the British.
But the important point is that u
ancestors would tolerate no divided
allegiance. A man must be for his
country to all outward seeming. If
he showed any sign Of %disloyalty the
heavy hand OF the law fell upon him.
Very plainly the liberty for which
the Americans of 10 fought did not
include a. freedom to wreck the
cause of the colonies. The common
800 1900 E-1& T1,~ ~;~l< @f <I~ ia

The pro-German propaganda had
better read his history again before
he refers to the standards of free
speech set by u Revolutionary IA

Evan Davis on Recosnizance -

BY an act OF March 80, 1871, pfovi-
sion vas made to punish more ef-
fectually adherents to the king. II
enacted that anyone who preached,
taught, spoke. wrote. or printed that
the King OF Great Britain had do
minion In New York, or who seduced
the allegiance Of anyone in the state
was guilty Nof a felony without henefit
of clergy, though the court could
commute the sentence from death to
service for three years in the navy
Of the United States.
1t was sufficient that a MAJ might
make trouble. He could be impris-
oned without any evidence that he
had committed overt acts other than
by word of mouth.
John Kelly. Philip Herrewig and
others this day brought in and deliv-
cred to the board the following per-
sons to wit, Emmepfgh Plass. Michael
Plass, John Dorm and John George
Emmerigh as Persons disaffected to
the Cause of America and whose 60
ing at large might be dangerous to
the state, together with the Arms Of
Emmerigh Plass, Michael Plass and
John Dorm
Thousands of suspects were called
up by the boards for detecting and de-
feating conspiracies, according to the
records compiled by Paltsits, state
these were examined and discharged
because the evidence did not show
disloyalty. In case of any doubt the
accused vas made to give bond and
often to report to the commissioners
at set intervals, as boys now do to
the juvenile courts.
A great many others were confined
for a time and then released. We

In view of the question that has
arisen during the present war about
reprisals in the matter Of treatment
of prisoners, it is interesting to recall
that in Revolutionary days the rigor
of the treatment to adherents OF King
George was based upon that which
was given to Wing prisoners by the
enemy.
Persons who refused to give infor-
nation about suspected traitors were
themselves arrested and flung into
prison. This applied to women as
well as men.
The pro-German propaganda has
since II war began talked a great
deal about freedom of speech. He
charges that we are abandoning the
standards set by u Revolutionary
forefathcre when we curtail a mans
right to voice publicly whatever he
wants to say. Since the United States
has always stood for free speech and
a free press. many good citizens have
been puzzled how to answer these as
sertions.
The facts are quite otherwise.

HUNS ATTEMPT RAID
ON PARIS; THREE
PERSONS KILLED

Paris. May 22.-German aviators
made an Intellectual attempt last
might to raid Paris. Three persons
were killed and several wounded in
the outskirts Of the city, but none Of
the raiders reached Paris itself. A
German airplane was hit by IN anti
aircraft u and fell in alliances north
of the city.
The enemy dropped bombs, in va
rious suburban localities. Some ma
terial damage is reported. The signal
that all was clear was sounded at I
O'Clock this morning. s%.
The raid demonstrated the high
state of efficiency to which the aerial
adefenses Of the city have been
brought 1t was a clear and MINDLESS
night with a brilliant moon. ideal for
an aerial attack. The raiders, who
were divided into %squadrons. sought
,vainly for two hours to find a gap in
the wall of fire with which the city
vas encompassed.

Protests poured in about the star
chamber methods of the commission
ers, but a joint committee from both
houses of the New York legislature
justified their powers. 1t sem an ad-
dress to constituents showing that
since concealed traitors scattered the
seeds Of d~isaffection and took. advan-
tage of "the credulity OF the honest
it was necessary to reach them by
summary method.
Rangers were employed to run
down, suspects. A warrant for arrest
was in most cases issued after charges
were made by a reputable citizen. An-
other quotation from the minutes Of
the Albany County board, one of hun
dreds that could be given, shows on
what slight ground the committee
acted.
Samuel Stringer, Esqr. informed
the board that he has received infor-
nation that Simeon Smith Of Pits
Town I~nnkeeper entertains disaffected
persons; drinks King Georges health
and speaks disrespectfully Of the au-
thority of this state. Resolved in
consequence Of the said information
that a warrant be made out directed
to Lieutenant Jonathan Brown, forth
with to apprehend and bring before
us the said Simeon Smith"
Another obstreperous talker was
George Rodgers, whom a witness ac-
cused of saying-'that the French
fleet was come to carry off the
Damned Rebel Officer Washington,
who vas afraid he would be hanged,
and the Rebel Congress: that the
Wings were all a set of scoundrels
and Rascals, n thai he was per-
suaded the British troops would in a
fortnEht's time march through the
City of Albany
Mr.. Rodgers had said too much. He
was arrested and put into solitary
confinement, where no doubt his hot
temper found time to cool.
Even prominent citizens who whis-
pered propaganda against the Ameri-
cans were disciplined. Witness the
case of Evan Davis of the Manor of
Renselaerwyck who
was brought before the Board for
propogating Reports Injurious and
detrimental to the State and having
examined him we AVE thought prop
en- to bind him by Recognizance to

NEW INTERNATIONAL LIE AGUE HEAD

There is at least one eason for be-

will endure as long as the game
And that one reason is John H,
Farrell.
Farrell is to minor league baseball

only more SO. Where johnson
merely keeps a watchful y on one,
organization, Farrell, as secretary
of the National Association Of Pro-
fessional Baseball leagues. has held
his hand to the pulse Of many
leagues. It has been said that Farrell
knows the. name and address Of every
baseball player in America.
Farrell was largely. If not directly.
responsible for the reorganization Of
the International. Up until this sea-
son. Farrell. in addition to his other
baseball duties. served as president Of
the New York State league. The past
winter saw this hardly little ship Of
baseball state 70 crashing into the
rocks Of depleted finances. Utica and
Harrisburg had withdrawn before the
season really finished. There was
small prospect Of the league getting
under way by spring.
About the same time the .Intetna-
tional became addicted to q virulent
form of economy, with tho result that
