We Must Hare
Freedom of Speech
BY WALTER WILLIAMS


Whatever else we may include
within our definition OF the new or
der certainly it will include a decla-
ration. for freedom OF speech
spoken and written: for the free
dom OF the individual nation to woS
out its own destiny, in It's own waJ
as a national unit in a world neigh
borhood; for the freedom OF the
individual man to work out his own
destiny in his own way as a social
unit In society, for the recognition
OF the equal moral worth OF every
nation and of every man.
With all these journalism, IN it's
criticism and leadership, Is interest
ed. Unto the preservation and pro-
motion OF all it may lend aid in
valuable, but with the first is IT'S pri.
mary concern. Indeed. freedom Of
written and spoken speech enwraps
them all. He whose mouth Is
stopped, around whose brain an iron
band OF autoCrat or majority rule
is placed, may never rise TO tho fun
stature Of strength and opportunity
Freedom Of speech is of intcrcs,
not merely to the press. The press
Is hut the outpost which, attacked
and captured, permits tho citadel OF
the new order, the walls Of mo
nation to be taken.
Unity Of purpose does not noccs-
sarily mean uniformity OF thought
Preservation OF the ideal of western
civilization means the preservation
OF unpolluted news sources of the
freedom OF the press. Of the right
OF criticism, OF Individual opinion
OF deliberate consideration Of p#h'
lie questions. of government by d.s-
cussion as opposed to government
by force.
Fundamental, in democracy IS
the right OF public opinion to OK
press itself without this there Is
no democracy We come here 10
tho ultimate power. The statement
OF its sovereignty needs no apolgFy.
Not only the honor and dignity hut
the very existence Of a democratic
state depend upon II.
To preserve and promote demo-
cratic ideals by the creation OF
sound and wholesome public opln'
ion based upon all the facts is the
task to which the press must sum-
mon its every resource. Let no re.
action from the slaughter OF
war be permitted to be "A cover TOT

RAIL AND AUTOMOBILE TRANSPORTATION

The Railway Age has compiled and pub.
lishcd statistics, which disclose what It calls
the Astonishing fact" that the American public
Ia spending approximately the same amount an
nuaiy for running and riding In automobiles
as II is spending for all OF It's railroud transpor-
tation--freight, passenger, express and mali 1t
estimates that after the recent advances In rail
way rates Of 1880, 900, 900 year have boon put
into effect the annual cost OF railroad trfnspor-
tatlon 20 the public will be about $4,000 900.
including the $500, 900, 900 annual Increase lately
awarded to railroad employees. II estimates that
the public already Is spending over $1,000, ,oOO,-
900 year for operating and riding In automo-
bilcs. 81 per cent OF which are passenger cars
Tho Railway Age continues;
so long as the public Is voluntarily and
elsdly spending over $1,000. 900, 900 y year Tor
using automobiles, not including tho cost Of
building and maintaining highways. It seems
doubtful IL II will find It very difficult to pay
a substantially equal bill for the essential serv-
ice OF railroad transportation.
I'm the year 1919 the number OF motor
vehicles of all kinds registered in tho United
States was 76aS5bt and at an average cost
OF $1,000 they represented an investment Of
st.14s. 100000 The valuation placed by the In
terstate commerce commission on all the rail-
roads in its recent rate decision was only sis.-
800. 900. Therefore, the public now has In
vested In automobiles almost one-half az much
the valuation placed by the commission ON
the railways.
ut is estimated that the number OF new cars
which will be built and sold this year will be
22bO 900 while the number that will be retired
from service will be about l,525O00 This
would result In n net increase In cars OF service
OF 725.oo0, or sh per cent 1t seems safe to
assume that an increase Of "a per cent in the
number OF in service will cause an increase
OF at least 9M per cent, or t522,a7o, 600, in the
countrys automobile bill. This will make II In
1890 approximately 5000, 900 900"

That Is his job in the campaign. lie is to put

Franklin Roosevelt is fifth cousin to Thco-
dore Roosevelt and his relationship Ia the clos
est degree OF intimacy he claim. The last
time Theodore Roosevelt headed national
ticket Franklin Roosevelt was working for one
OF his opponents, Woodrow Wilson, and within
week after Wilson was inaugurated Franklin
Roosevelt was made assistant secretary of the
navy job he now holds.
Because Frankns name Is Roosevelt be-
cause he was in the New York Legislature, and
because he is assistant secretary OF the navy,
he is put forward Rs another Theodore II he Is,
then Billy Sunday Is Mormon. Theodore
Roosevelt as assistant secretary OF the navy
made 1t possible for Dewey to win at Manila
and Sampson TO win off Santiago. Franklin
Roosevelt as assistant secretary Of the navy
has helped California to see half the American
fleet.

 That the readjustmenl is taking the form of pronounced price revision was clearly indicated by the news that two prominent western mail order houses had cut prices from ten to 60 per cent, while the manufacturer of a well known automobile announced a price reduction of 171a and 211a per cent
 There were rumors that the com- ing weeks are likely to witness a marked slowing down of operations ill the steel trade with probable re- ductions of prices for fabricated ma terials.
 The more 3evere losses were again sustained by motors and affiliated specialities, oils, steels, equipments, shippings and some of the food shares where gross declines extended from one to six points with partial rallies on short covering at the close.
 Prominent among the stronger rails were New Haven, St. Paul. Chicago and Alton, St. Louis, Southwestern Texa sand Pacific. Missouri Pacific preferred and Kansas City Southern.
