TOO MUCH FREEDOM.

We are great people 10 stand
up for FREQ speech even to the OK
tent OF protecting those who abuse
that right Free speech rs one OF
the cardinal principles OF real re-
public. and we do we'll to be jealous
OF It's infringement But war times
have taught US Gomo discretion In
this matter. Tho sidewalk, orators
who used To declalm against the
American Flag and "cnss" every
man who had more than t6 cents
In his pocket, for instance, have
disappeared from Tulsa streets.
Public sentiment will no longer toi-
erate such rubbish, and the danger
20 n man attempting that kind Of
oratory here now would not be
alono from the police.
Which calls to mind that Eugene
V, Dobs was recently arrested for
that kind OF free speech. and has
como 10 tho conclusion that ut is
extremely dangerous to exercise the
right or free speech in country
fighting to mako the world safe FOR
democracy" Notwithstanding his
yelled sarcasm. MIR. Deba Is right. IT
IL dangerous and It ought to be. to
permit the habitual demAgogue to
rant and rave as he has been ac-
customed to doing. For free speech,
a safeguard of liberty In peace
times, has been turned into a weap-
on against tho government at a time
when, IL lis confronted with dire
peril We cannot afford to en-
danger our peace and welfare by
permitting Holsrevlk disloyalty to
be spread broadcast in the name of
free speech. We sill believe the
man who has constructive crlti-
cism of tho government should be
given a respectful hearing, but the
man who seeks to give aid and com
fort to the enemy should bc prompt-

We're this tho kind of a free cuun .

Maximiliau Of Mexico was the Sec

how he came 20 be emperor OF Mexi-
co Is an interesting one.
He was a very clever boy, with
considerable interest In science--es-
pecially botany. He was trained for
the navy, rose to high command, and
was instrumental in creating the
neyal port Of Trieste He was rather
Il Liberal, and appointed as viceroy
OF the ombardo- Venetian kingdom,
and married Belgian princess. In
1859 he had retired quietly to his
home near Trieste when some McXi-
can exiles came 10 him and begged
him to become candidate for the
throne OF Mexico. Napoleon III
brought some influence to bear and
he finally did accept the crown.
though against the wishes of his
brother, then emperor Of Austria. by
accepting Mexico, he forfeited his
rights to Austria.
That IL was "A bad choice was evil

Vera Cruz In 1861. and In two years
It was evident he would have to give
up his crown Napoleon withdrew
his forces, and that was the death

lines. lie was captured, tried and

Just three years after his landing in
the country.
The remains were conveyed to
Austria, and buried in the imperial
vault in Vienna.

Everyday Wisdom
Gate-Legged Tables

1t takes great deal OF engineer
ing ability to operate a gate-legged
table, and the chief members of any
household into which one of them
is to be brought should take a spe-
cial night course before they at
tempt to tinker with IL. Otherwise
they are apt to get the mechanism
into so hopeless a tangle as to make
IL necessary to send the table back
to the factory for unraveling.
There is also an element OF personal
danger in experimenting with a
gate legged table; it is not at all
infrequentiy that arms are ampu-
taLed by them, or necks pinched or
skulls fractured. No other indoor
sport is attended with such grave
risks. Anyone who has been used
to four-legged tables may think it
safe and simple TO run a gate-legged
table with sixteen or twenty legs)
but he may well enough have a
care.
For those who have never seen
a gate-legged table, either in action
or repose. we may explain that It is
a table built on the same general
principle as an umbrella. In re-
pose. ii takes up no more room than
bread board, in fun bloom, It's
possibilities are unlimited. It may
open up to fill an entire room. II
you want some more table, simply
draw out another set of legs and
lift up leaf, with one hand on
the book Of rules and with the other
hand wherever the book of rules
suggests. Three or four persons
can manipulate the table better
than one or two cit is an almost
impossible achievement, single
handedD The party should be
well organized, and the direction
placed entirely in the hands of one
competent person who will give or
ders. IL four or five people try to
talk and open a gate-legged table
all at once, they are pretty sure to
pull off a few legs and crush each
others elbows and lose much
mutual respect
Gate-legEed tabling has its re-
wards. however. Once family has
become accomplished, many a dull
winter evening may be enlivened
by playing with one OF these
tables. especially IL it be family
OF mechanical leanings.
