ABUSE OF FREE SPEECH

When indicted for the transgres
sion of the espionage law, Eugen
Debs admitted that he was guilty o.
what was recited in the indictment
offensive of the law.
He admitted that the court in which
he had been tried was impartial; tina
both the judge and jury had given hin
a patient hearing. The lawyers il
the case who appeared for Debs made
no argument before the jury, Debs
himself spoke for himself to the court
and jury and was allowed a large
degree of latitude.
The only point made by Debs il
what he said, all else being mere per
siflage, was that the constitution,
guarantees freedom of speech. Free
dom of speech is one thing, abuse OF
the privilege is another. A man has
a right to believe what he pleases
but the laws of the land are the will
of the majority. One may criticist
the laws, but while they are laws they
must be observed and obeyed.
Bebs sailing under the flag of so
cialism, assumes the right to preacl
sedition, and to teach that which is
subversive of law All socialists are
not anarchists; but Debs, who claims
to be the chief of socialism in the
United States, teaches doctrine thai
putting it mildly, is near anarchy
The difference between Debs and the
/. w. W., is the latter practices what
1t breaches.
The teachings of such a one as
Debs might in ordinary times be al
lowable. But these are not ordinary
times. 1t Is not time when the
sowing of tares amongst the wheat
Is permissible. 1t is a time which
calls for unity of purpose and Of ac
ton. If there ever is time wher
the right of the majority to rule is
denied, this is not such a time. There
must be leadership, and while Thu
President, who is commander-in-chief
of the army and navy, may be crit
cised within due bounds, he is the
leader and his countrymen must be
followers. loyal followers.
If there are kickers, who indulge
in kicking against the pricks, they
must take the consequences. 1t will
do them no good if they plead mar
tydom.---Journal and Tribune.

STA and deliver the country into Ger
many's hands has been brought to
light. 1t was unearthed by American
secret service men and has been pub
lished by the American Committee on
Public Information. The documents
remove the last doubt that may have
existed as to the Bolshevik
plot by showing that Lenine and Trot
zky were employed by the German
government and that they were yell
paid for their treachery to Russia.
This further evidence. discovered
in black and white, was not needed
to convince the peoples of this and
the Allied countries that the Bolshe-
vik leaders are traitors and that Ger
many secured a separate peace with
Russia by intrigue and the use of cor
rupt methods. 1t should not have
been needed to convince intelligent
Russians that they and their country
had been sold to the enemy by the
Bolshevik usurpers. Every act of the
Bolshevik crowd since they secured
control of Russia, then AMI ally of the
Entente Nations, has been in the in
terest of Germany. 1t was through
these scoundrels that Germany sought
to bring about a general armistic and
peace conference. That scheme fail
ing, the German government and the
Bolshevik regime proceeded to make
separate peace by the terms of
which the western part of Russia
the richest section of the country
was surrendered to Germany, and
Russia is to pay Germany an indem-
nifty of four billion dollars The sign
ing of the peace treaty enabled Ger
many and Austria to transfer their
eastern armies to the western front
to fight the Allies. And since the
treaty was concluded Germany has
mad a free hand in Russia, so far as
the Bolshevik government could give
Germany free hand, while the same
government has threatened armed re-
sistance to any effort Of the Allies to
protect their interests in Siberia. Boil
sheyik Red Guards for some time have
been fighting with German and Aus
.rian troops, mostly released prison
ers, against loyal Russians and Ali
ed troops sent to Russia to aid the
loyalists.
An agent of the American secret
service was sent abroad to find in
disputable evidence of the German
BOlsheyik conspiracy, and he did his
work well. The disclosures that have
been made should have the effect to
unite all loyal elements in Russia
against the Bolshevike traitors and
