4UM ANISMS
William AthertOn Du Puy

The crookedest baseball finger in the Senate
is worn by Senator Patton Harrison of Mississip-
pi. He got Ii in the seventh inning OF a historic
contest between the University OF Louisiana and
Tulane University.
He pitching and the game was a close
one, so he said nothing about the broken finger
and played IL out and won IL.
Senator Harrison didn't have any father or
silver spoon anything. and so paid his way
through college by waiting on table. He holds
that the fact of the existence of democracy.
even in Southern universities, is proved by his
having been invited to join each OF the four
Greek letter fraternities OF the University of
Louisiana, despite his servitude at meal times.
II one will bark back to the American Com
monweath. written decades ago by James Brice,
later British ambassador over here, he will be
impressed with the grasp which that gentleman
had upon American tendencies.
Harry A. Slattery, secretary of the National
Conservation Association, tells OF the methods
of this astute gentleman in getting at the bot
tom of American problems.
Mr.. Brice cultivated the young men in Of
ficial circles in Washington Lord Percy was
youthful and charming Britisher attached to the
embassy who served laison but there
were others. A week rarely passed during which
there was not a gathering in which the chief
element was the young government official Mr..
Brice was there. He sat next to a young for
ester, chemist, engineer who was working on
Government problems His interest in this mans
speciality unbounded He pumped him dry,
then turned to another and another He sent
Lord Percy to rough it in the West. thing for
which he was too old, and report back He kept
young, live, informed, by cultivating young men
who were the active agents of the Government.
Mrs. Gail Laughln. Of California, that spright-
ly, quick spoken, little woman who has fought
a the front all the time in the campaign for
suffrage, tells rapidfjre stories to illustrate the
position in which enfranchised woman finds
herself
Her mental attitude, she says, is like that of
n little girl who was talking to her brother and
told what might properly be characterized as "a
whopper."
sister" said the boy in protest, do you want
to GO to hell?"
Wait till get my hat" said the girl.
The fighting was so fast, according to Mrs.
Laughlin's view, that woman forced to act
in emergencies did a certain good soul who
was called out Of bed late at night to administer
to the sick wife of neighbor.
Admonished to hurry by the frightened hus-
band, she scrambled into her clothes and started
down the walk at a run. She stumbled and fell
to her hands and knees

The Satisfaction of an Open
White House
By BILL PRICE.

There will be widespread qualification that the White
House Grounds and of the of the Executive
Mansion are to be permanently open to the public.
The people of the country always feel deep interest
in the White House, far greater than in any other public
building in Washington. When they come here and
unable to get into the grounds they go away disap
pointed frequently resentful Washington people enjoy
the opportunity visit the White House with their friends
although they may have been there before.
It, of course, must be borne in mind that the White
House is the private home of the President of the United
States and his family In of illness in the family
during the stress of may be proper to close the
grounds and buildings, but it is undoubtedly popular
to have everything wide open to the public except
the living quarters Visitors realize that it is not possible

While Taking
Was Good

THE island of Nauru, in the
South Pacific, contains valuable
phosphates. 1t belonged to Ger
many before the war. Britain cap
tured it. And then this interesting
thing happened:
The governments of Great Britain,
Australia, and New Zealand formed
a pool, bought out the Pacific Phos-
phate Company, the concessionnaire
in possession, and took over the
business. They will supply their
own phosphate needs at cost price.
TO other nations sales will be at the
market price.
This ingenious arrangement was
entered into without any mandate
from the League of Nations, but,
like Japan's seizure of Yap, was a
simple case of taking while the
taking was good.

Restoring. an
Old Freedom
A DECISION of the United

that evidence obtained during

that evidence obtained during
a6raid without a search warrant is
not competent evidence in a court
Of law.
The case which occasioned this
decision was a liquor raid. The
courts have apparently had great
difficulty in drawing a line between
competent and incompetent evidence
improperly obtained, Judging by the
line drawn as it meanders through
the irreconcilable decisions.
But we are glad to see the courts
beginning to insist once more upon
the duty of officers of the law to re-
spect the sanctity of mans castle.
One of the first acts of tyranny
has always been raiding without
warrant. The British attempted it
Just before our Revolution. Our fore
fathers fought it desperately and
James Otis burnt his name indelibly
into the records of history by the
not denunciation he uttered against
the British raids without warrant,
under the colors of writs of assist
ance.
Freedom to speak and to assemble
to redress grievances and freedom
from reckless, irresponsible, ill-con-
sidered violation of the privacy of
our homes are among the most
valuable parts of our heritage of
freedom which were constantly vio-
lated by the Wilson Administration
and its Presidential nomination
seeking Attorney-General.

Reason and Persuasion Win
When Intimidation Does Not

" EMS OF thousands OF Americans,
who are not Socialists, and who
are very much opposed to the
Socialist theories, are emphatically
in favor of the release of Eugene
Debs.
These Americans feel that the es-
pionage law was of doubtful consti-
tutionality, to say the least, and
that such legislation could only
be excused as military measure in
time of actual war.
That free speech should be
abridged in time Of peace is offensive
to all our traditions and our guar
anteed rights; and that a man like
Eugene Debs should continue to be
imprisoned in time of peace for
words spoken in violation of pure.
ly war emergency act, does not seem
reasonable or generous or in any way
calculated to promote the welfare
and liberties of other Americans.
We are very glad that the Social
ist party managers had the good
sense to abandon the proposed
picketing of the White House. That
would have been a great folly.
We hope, too, that the movement
to secure the release of Gene Debs
will not be made a Socialist party
affair.
1t should be purely non-political
movement, in which Republicans and
Democrats can gladly join for the
sake of fundamental American
principles.
There should be no attempt to
coerce the President or the Attorney
General. Both are reasonable and
generous-minded men. Neither of
them is easy to drive. Either of
them is open to the persuasion of
temperate argument and appeal.
They are moving swiftly in the mat
ter, and need no jogging.
Gene Debs is kind, conscientious,
well-meaning old man. He is sick
and probably never will be wholly
well. His further Imprisonment does
nobody any good, and is a reflection

upon our national magnanlmlty In
other countries, where wartime po-
litical prisoners have all been re-
leased long ago.
The only possible argument
against releasing Debs is that free
dom would enable him to spread his
views. This newspaper maintains the
old-fashioned belief that any Ameri-
can man has right to spread his
views, no matter how wrong they
may be. But, waving that argu-
ment, it is still true that Gene Debs
in the penitentiary is far more im-
pressive and effective Socialist evan
gelist than he would be out of
prison.
All history shows the futility of
force as a means to suppress ideas.
If persecution, Imprisonment and
executions could suppress ideas,
there would have been no Christian
church today. The Roman Emperors
would have effected the extermina-
tion of Christianity, which they re-
garded as sedition against the state,
as well as blasphemy against the
gods.
There would not be Jewish syna-
gogue or congregation Oh earth to-
day if persecution, sedition laws, i'm
prisonment, torture and death could
suppress opinions and beliefs.
There would be no Irish national
sentiment today if repressive and
cruel and ruthless laws and military
force and prisons and gallows- trees
could suppress opinion and beliefs.
There is no sense in opposing So
cialist theories with force. Force will
only cause theories to thrive.
The country gains nothing and
loses much by keeping Gene Debs
in the penitentiary.
Therefore, reasonable presenta-
tion Of the case to the Attorney Gen
eral, and a reasonable appeal to the
President, will probably lead to
Debs' release.
But every man-Socialist or not
who attempts to free Debs by meth
DDS of intimidation or bravado only
makes it difficult for the President
to sign the order of release.
