ranging in opinion from conserva-

Among the instances cited were

driving out of town OF persons hold

resent a public sentiment which has
grown more and more hysterical
since the armistice. 1t is said that
the war IS having the effect of de-
mocratizing Germany, There IS
danger lest it also result in the
Prussianizing of America.
1T is time for calmness and clear
thinking, not for behaving like bulls
in pasture at the sight of anything
red. Persecution makes martyrs, and
instead OF annihilating dangerous
heresies, drives them underground to
shoulder The wiser way is to give
them free airing in political dis
cussion. Protection is necessary
