MUST COMBAT RADICALrSM.
Horace ]. Bridges Defends Deportations
in Talk TO Wilmington Ethical Society.

That the United States Government
must protect itself against radicals who
seek to controvert the principle of demo
cratic rule OF maiorities, was the state
ment Sunday$ afternoon of Horace J.
Bridges, leader of the Chicago Ethical
Society, at the meeting f the local Ethical
Society in the Hotel du Po ball room.
The deportation of agitators who have
shown themselves out of sympat V with
our Institutions and government is a
means OF self protection quite analogous
TO the prevention of the entrance into the
country through ports of immigration of
those found to be mentally undesirable.
Philip Burnet of this city made an in
troductory address, giving some figures
regarding illiteracy and intelligence in
this state. While it ranks low in the
proportion of its population able to read,
il ranks nesr the top in intelligence; and
when the handicap of educational deficiency
has been overcome, should come close to
attaining the ideal position.

FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.
Term Clearly Defined by Judge Victor b.
WOolley of the u. =. Court.

Freedom il liberty regulated by law,
declares Judge Victbr b. Woollcy, Of
the United States Circuit Court OF APP
peals, and a resident Of Wilmington, in the
current iss,ie Of the Delaware State Maga-
zine, in which he gives an interesting def
milton of the much discussed phrase
freedom of speech His definition is
declared by Federal Judge George Gray,
also of this city, to be the clenrest he
has seen.
Judge Woolley defined freedom Of
speech" in the course of an address to a
class of some 90 discharged soldiers Of
foreign birth who were before him for
admission to citizenship in court. At the
request of the Delaware State Magazine
he wrote his views, which are, in part,
summarized briefly as follows:
Freedom without law is primitive
condition which exists only so long as it
can be sustained by brute force" writes
dation of freedom"
by haphazard use of the term free
dom there has grown dangerous mis-
conception Of the term freedom Of speech.
Declaring that an impression has been
created that q man can say what he pleascs
where he pleases and when he pleascs,
nothing can be farther from the tr,xh,
says Judge Woolley.
Freedom of speech, properly interpret
ed, is the right to speech only under APP
propriate restraints. A man may raise q
cry of fire in an open field where no one
can hear him. That is all right, but the
same man cannot raise the same dry in a
crowded theatre, unless a fire exists.
In the conclusion of the article Judge
Woolley comments on the Bolshevists and
that men admitted TO citizenship must not
he Bosheviki, anarchists or communists,
and that as long as they remain attached
to the principles of the Constitution, ="
and obey the laws whether they like them
or not, they will enjoy the privileges of
free government
