But there must be no "perncous politi-

pernicious things are permitted, lest the
government be suspected of partisanship,
or the administration of having o prefer
ence for the presidency or the employees of
the government be accused Of having "ma-
chine organized to seize control Of the
national capital.
These are the orders, nor are they new

1t seems that the time has come when

be repealed. Presidents ought not to be
compelled to issue orders which they know
VIII be ignored and which ought to be ig-

there is no freedom OF speech in presiden-

no freedom OF speech at all. The govern
ment employe is as much n citizen as the

passer and should enjoy the same privi-
