In the past few days, it was a tough

The avowed purpose Of these sew

and form a new political party which
would set everything to rights. Both

each other, with several additions.
Now, If one were to obtain the
opinions Of the individual members
in each group of the other members
of the same organization we should
doubtless find hat those opinions
are equally uncomplimentary. The
thing resolves itself into a proposition
OF the particular individual being
right and everyone else wrong.
Sturdy adherence to a right prin-
ciple is a fine thing. But there is a
tendency on. the part of a few to
treat as principles things which are
nothing more than policies, and to
demand rigid conformity on every
point no matter how Insignificant.
II that tendency were generally fol-
lowed there would be no such thing
as corporation, n organized society
would be an impossibility.
In all it's activities, political, social.
industrial, commercial, civilization
exists on the basis of compromise.
Many individuals are able to agree
on q few main principles. On these
they act together, subordinating things
of less importance or of less i'm
mediate importance, in order that
there may be action on the essentials.
In no other way can the world move.
In no other way can society exist.

oct. 20 there are limits beyond which
he may not 10 permitted to speak.
During the war q condition borders
Ing on hysteria developed in many
places. and one of it's conspicuous
manifestations raj excessive excita-
hility on the part of the individual
when opinions out of harmony with
his own we're expressed. II some OF
the demands for suppression had
been needed the result would un-
doubtedly have been a dangerous vio-
iation OF tho proper liberty Of the In
divtdual.
Nevertheless, there has never been
q time under n organised govern
ment whom freedom Of speech was
absolute, and there, will never be such
a time so long as organized governs
ment endures. Always, even where
no. restrictions are provided az to
what shall be spoken or written. each
person Is held responsible for what
he says or writes. and he may be pun
ished il his u~tterances tend to inflict
injury on his neighbor or to destroy
the government which the community
has created for its own protection.
No person in his sober senses uues-
lions the right of an. individual to
advocate freely any system Of govern
ment that appeals to him, or my.
notifications in the present form. It
is, and should be, lawful for him to
advocate the changing Of the consti-
tuition and the statutes in any form
whatever. If he believes in an abso-
lutte despotism. he has a right to cay
80. If he thinks hat the United
States should be divided into forty
eight separate nations, each ruled
over by a kinglet imported from Eu-
rope. or by a commission appointed by
the Russian soviet administration, he
has a legal right to- deliver himself
publicly Of that folly. He has a right
to urge that the whole country place
itself on a basis of complete commu-
nfsm, or that every vesttge of public
ownership be banished. But If he
urged that these things. or any of
them. be brought about in any other
way than through the operation of tho
existing laws, he is amenable to dis
cipline.
Freedom Of speech is Just as limit
ed as freedom Of action. A man nav
regulate his acts as he will, provided
that in the exercise of his liberty he
does not interfere with the equal lib
erty OF another. He may not approve
Of the style of architecture of the

Is at liberty to say so. He NAV or
ganize a political campaign to have

to join him in the work of destruction
And, in spite of some foolish man
if~estations at times during the stress
OF war feeling. it is safe to say that
no man in the United States during
these years has been fined or impris-
once for his political opinions or re-
llgious beliefs. He has been unash

HEAT N POWER.

One of the problems on which
many minds are at work is that of
devising means 10 supply the needs
OF n world for heat and power. The
pal fields which have been worked
In the past are rapidly approaching
the point of exhaustion, n no mat
ter what new supplies are discovered,
and what better use is made of low
grades of fuel which have not been
utilized. tn process of exhaustion is
going on, and the time must come
when there will be no more coal to
be had. The oil supply is likewise
failing and that must end.
The possibilities of alcohol pro-
Sduction are being investigated. and
1t may be that for some time alcohol
produced from recently grown vege-
table matter of n sort or another
will take the place of oil. There are
no limits beyond the fertility OF the
soil to the production of this source
OF heat and power.
But there are two great sources OF
heat and power-the terms being in
terchAngeable,-which exist in enor-
nous volume, and which are as yet
utilised in only an insignificant way,
These are moving water and moving
air. The waterfall was probably
mans earliest source Of power, and
hat power is utilized very consider
ably today. But only a small frac-
ton OF its possibilities are utilized
With the possibility of electric trans
mission either by wire or by wireless

syAance, md It seems strange that no

CHAPTER xIx-(Oontinued.,

Her eyes knew horror for the first
time. The mans face was half OBJ
liberated. 1t had been p!oushed by
continent smallpox and destroyed by
a worse disease. The nose was gone,
leaving an ignoble ruin of stripped
like weathered parchment. One ear
had been ravaged in a clean cut so
that 1t rose to a needlepoint. That
the wounds were healed only added
an memorable finality to their repul-
siveness.
Only the mans thick red lips and
his blazing eyes seemed to have es-
capped the pestilence. As his startled
gaze fell upon Andrea, his mouth
opened to a wide, soundless laugh,
With broad shoulders stopped, his alb
up like monstrous talons and his
shaggy beard wagging to hat silent
laughter, he advanced upon her. en-
circled her waist with his fingers and
shot her up lightly SO that she fell
doubled across his back and chest.
He gave a low whistle and sped from
the craal at m incredible pace. The
boat-boys arose stealthily and fitted
after him.
To Andrea's transfixing terror was
added q memory fleeing glimpse
-of Trevor, standing, hands in
pockets, before his door. On his face
was anger,-cold. white, unforgiving
anger. She thought she cried out to
Manchester to stop. to give her but
one moment to explain, to beg for
giveness. to grovel at the feet of the
one man in all the world, but no
sound came from her lips.
Not until she stood tottering on the
canted bottom of MacCloster's boat
did life come back to her heart and
veins and lungs. She threw up he,
head and screamed as she had never
known mortal could scream wild,
terror winged wall Of desperate ap-
peal. Manchester snatched tiller from
rudder. struck. kher across the shout
dera knocked her, face down. into
fetid bilge-water.

cup, which has been held on this side
OF the ocean ever since it was won
by an American BOAT in the first race
at Cowes many years ago. The race
yesterday ended unfortunately. as the
cup defender Resolute was disabled
midway of the course by the breaking
OF her rigging. The Shamrock finish
ed the course alone, and, OF course Ia
decreed the winner of this first con-
test. This. of course, is not the wav
IN which the public likes to see a race
won, and Sir Thomas Upton is too
good a sportsman t wish to win
through accident to his adversary. It
is to be hoped that the remaining
races will be marked by no misadven-
ture' and that a clean and unmistak-
able victory will he won by the best
boat sailed in the most seamanhke
manner. While the accident on the
Resolute spoiled the contest, the race
obviously canno be declared Oft. as
n contest is one Of design and con-
structton as we'll as OF handling, and
1t is evident that something was wrong
somewhere or the Resolute's halyard
would not have broken.
The races for the Americas cun

Shamrock was built to compete in a
race which was to have been held in
1919. but the breaking out of the war
put an end to this sport for the time

cd on this side, dismantfed, until she
was brought out, r%efurbished and

For the sake OF the sport, IL vould
