ABUSE OF FREE SPEECH.

The time has come when IA line
must be drawn between liberty Of
speech and abuse of free speech. II
there be those who want to live in
country In which there is a wider
range given liberty of speech than
they find here, let them enlgrate to
such q country. If they persist in the
abuse Of liberty of speech end refuse
to go, then let them be penalZed and
put where they viii have an audience
for u aaching treason, limited to the
space Of the prison in which they are
given board and lodging at the ex-
pense Of the nation or the state.
Within the very recent past Ameri-
can public officials have been marked
to become victims of bomb plots, says
Knoxville Journal and Tribune. It
is a fact that in our larger cities, in
Guiding the national capital, there are
paid emssaries of the Russian soviet,
and If not now, there have been those
paid from Germany, ready to spread
the gospel of violence. Behind these
mischievOus indictments, giving them
aid and assistance, stand those who
harp upon freedom of speech and of
the press comforting them the right
to say and print whatsoever they are
pleased to say and print. 1t is the
truth, as said by the Washington
Post: Under the Constitutional guar
antee of free speech apostles of radi-
calism are striking at the very roots
OF free government fomenting dis
content, melting to resistance of the
law and urging the weaker and more
excitable to revolution. When cor
nered they protest that they mean
'bloOdless' revolution, not violence.
Nevertheless, in their wake go crime

Powell Crosley, 7Jr., sos Blue Rock
St., Cincinnati, Ohio, has perfected
remarkable invention that makes
pneumatic tires proof against pune
lures and blow-outs. without in any
way affecting their natural resiliency
or easy riding qualities. He uses no
tire filler, chemical or other make
shift, but an amazingly simple and
inexpensive method that not only
ends tire trouble forever, but dou-
bles tire mileage. In fact, he will
take an old discarded tire that has
been thrown away as worthless and
run from two to three thousand
miles on it. Write Mr.. Crosley to-
day and learn how you can enjoy
the increased comforts of motoring
with no. punctures, blow-outs or
troublesome tire changes and at the
same time cut your bills in two. He
is making a special offer to one car
owner in each locality to whom he
can refer new customers. Take adj
