RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH INDICATED
lPensacola Lonrnall

Pensacola JOurna).
The supreme court of Connecticut has just
handed down decision unfolding and vindicat-
ing the right of free speech.
chap in Hartford was arrested and fined $25
because he expressed some ideas that didn't con-
form with those of the local authorities.
He appealed to the common pleas court OF the
county and was beaten.
Having faith in his rights an American citt
zen under the constitution of the United States,
his faith justified
Incidentally the supreme cour' took occasion
to express. in no uncertain way. its opinion of
the local courts and other officials who act on
the theory that the way to cure unrest is to deny
the right of free speech to citizens.
This policy of repression was growing before
the war and during the carried to far
greater lengths than urgent war necessity
justified
Now that the war is over it is time that there
be a right-aboutface in the anti-Americans
un-American. undemocratc policy
The fathers who wrote the United States con
stitution recognized that the rights Of free speech
a free press and free assembage the only
safe foundations, in fact the only possible founda
ton upon which democratic institutions could be
erected.
In the immortal document these rights were
guaranteed to every citizen. 1t is only in the
later years that these rights have been seriously
challenged.
Let us hope that the Connecticut decision marks
the turning point that will get MS back onto the
high road.

BEING REPRESENTED

That this country is vitality interested in the set
element Of European questions and ought to be
represented wherever decision is 10 be made, is
loo plain for argument. Therefore, Mr. Harding's
decision to have Colonel Harvey step around to
the supreme council meeting and the conference OF
ambassadors and the reparatcn commission. to see
what those bodies are doing, and casually inform
the members what the United States would like
them TO do, will meet general approval.
Colonel Harvey position at those meetings will
be about what that of Senator Penrose would be
at a Republican convention if by any chance he
should happen to be left off the delegation. AT
least. that is what Mr. Harding evidently expects
it to be- and tho conditions seem TO warrant his cx-
pectdtions.
For. as we have several Tunes recently pointed
out, America is absolutely essential to the solvency
Of Europe. Without Uncle Sam TO help them out
of mud they would MIRO. They know that, and
MIR. Harding knows it, and that fact is the thing
which keeps the whole proceeding from being
ridiculous
Whether 1t would be better to JON the league,
take pot-luck with the victorious but needy allies,
and try to keep them headed right in the future,
and share their troubles if they gel headed wrong,
or to stay out and tell them where to head il" if
they went support. is an interesting question,
but which the administration thinks was settled
by the election. AS our interest is largely limited
to the United States, we shall not grumbe SO long
Mr. Hardings policy seems to be for the bone-
fit of this country. And certainly it can not do
any harm o have an unofficial" delegate on the
scene.

NOT WORRYING

Lakeland has Southern College and won t
worry much about the capital. The college will
prove to be the more substantial good. "-Ocala
Star Why, bless your soul, Lakeland has never
thought about worrying over the capital. Down
in their hearts the people here feel that this is the
right place fer it. for the general good of the state,
but just let Ocala get started on a real boom for
it, without dozen other cities rafting around on
the track, and it will do you good to see how we
whoop her up for you

IN THE CLEANING

The gray of evening descends, my little trip
will soon be through; the thought to me ter
ror lends. as my calm journey pursue, for l have
done my best my friends, and more than that
no man can do My best was but trihing thing
] must admit, now that I'm old; | never could
rear up and swing the harp that Milton used to
hold; it wasn't in my soul to spring such music
from Byron rolled. But have toed away
with zest. my strains the highest that | knew,
and now the sun is in the west and skies grow
dark that late were blue, know that have done
my best, and more than that man can do.
Old age is tranquil and serene if one can take
glance behind, survey the rocky roads he's seen,
the struggle and the weary grind. and know his
wreath, however mean, was still the hest one
he could find Ghe gods do not their gifts he
stow in equal measure to the flock; one man is
born to cop the dough, the next must wait for
ghosts to walk; man is built to be beau.
his neighbOr is a homely crock But when it's
time to go to rest, the evening come the errands
run, the gifts and talents possessed are meas
ured by tue fruits they've won; unless we've tried
to do our best we've failed, however much we've
done.

ADVENTURE
high road
By Berton BrsIcy.


Some men go round about the world
And though, by splendid chance.
Through war and love and hate they're hurled
They never sense Romance;
Their lives are melodrama sheer.
Tense with both good and i'll,
And yet they play from year to year
And feel no throb or thrill
And other men live quiet lives
Yet greet each newborn day
AS brave adventure that arrives
Accoutered for the fray;
And in every new event
However dull or small,
They find strange magic evident
With glamour over all.
All true adventures in the heart
Which gains warmer glow
From every touch life may impart
OF action, swift or slow;
Id rather play humdrum game
Which made my spirit flare
Than move through battle, food and flame
Unstirred and unaware.

UNWRITTEN LAW is
UPHELD BY ESKIMOS

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. "A strange
story OF the course of justice in the
Canadian northland, which resulted
on the summary execution Of an Es.
kimo by strangulation. has beeh
brought here by the Royal Canadian
Mounted police.
The victim OF the unwrtten law
one Ahkaka, was himself murderer
police said, and adjudged by his fel.
low villagers in Konghermuet, an
Eskimo conoy. on Prince Albtrt
sound as dangerous to the com
munity.
In the summer OF 1919, the report
reads, Ahkaka murdered Agutuk.
Shortly afterwards Ahlxaka made a
Ihunting pact with Olepsekak by
which they were to share fortunes
and the wife of the former in March.
1920, when the hunters returned to
'iSii Dtoc, tne IIShllHO Vi kOnPnef-
muet, both men and women, found
Ahkaka. Seemingly aware of their
intent, Ahkaka told them of a deer
skin limo outside his hut waich would
serve their purpose.
1t was with this line that Ahkaka
was duly Strangled and two EeJpmoe
Kasahovi and Amokuka, charged
with being chief actors in the drama,
were arrested last March by Cor
poral 3. e. Cornelius, and Constable
J. Brockie Of the mounted police.
They will be held in Herschels Is
ana and over the winter and will
)e brought out for trial next spring.

COLUMBIA APPLE CROP
OUTLOOK IS FAVORABLE
(East oregonian Specially

COLUMBIA, April 22.-The last of
the fruit blossoms of the winter ap-
pies are now out and fruit men are
anNiously waiting the passing of the
next week or ten days until the danger
from frost is over. The smudge pots
in the big orchards are placed in read
iness in case of emergency and many
owners are closely watching their
thermometers to be on guard. The
lookout of the apple crop so far is
good and hopes are entertained that
the project will yield as large a crop
Of the fruit this year as that of 1919.
Irrigating is under way and many
farmers are seen daily galloping horse
back from field to field welding the
shovel. The work of irrigating fields
at some distance apart seems to be
done very advantageously by this
method.
Mrs. VIII Rhodes who recently NOV
ed with her husband to the Blessing
place is going into the chicken bust
ness in quite a large scale and is un-
dertaking the work in rather a scien-
tific way. She has a cement floor
brooder house which is heated and
lighted in such manner that the
baby chicks have perfect care and
comfort. When one batch of chickens
are large enough they are moved to
another more commodious building to
make room for more younger ones in
the brooder. She has the full blooded
strain Of White Petuluna Leghorns and
is preparing to raise in the neighbor-
hood Of five hundred and by the meth
DDS she uses and the thorough care she
takes Of the chicks, it seems that she

Some of the Columbia farmers are
