FREE SPEECH DOES
NOT PERMIT ASSAULTS
ON GOVERNMENTS

From the Kansas City Times.
Gust what do the constitutional
guarantees for free speech mean and
amount TOT" a friend writes to the
Star. Various kinds OF speech are
forbidden, as I understand IL, under
the Daugherty Injunction. Isn't
that an interference with the right
of free speech?"
The first amendment of the Con-
stltution provides that Congress
shall make no law "abridg-
ing the freedom OF speech or OF the
press" That doesn't mean abso-
lutte license. The courts have held
that freedom of speech is not
abridged. for instance. by the pro-
hfbition of addresses in public parks
or of the publication of iibelous or
Indecent matter. The right of free
speech IS exercised subject to regu-
lation.
A general principle was laid down
by the Supreme Court OF the United
States in a decision last year which
applies to many Of the questions
raised.
The National Defense Act of 1917
provided that newspapers violating
the act should not be conveyed by
the malls. A newspaper was ex-
cluded under this act for denounc-
ing the government, condemning the
draft law as oppressive and uncon-
stituuonal. and contending that SOL
diers could not legally be sent out
side the country. The Supreme
Court upheld the action of the Post
Office Department in the face OF the
plea that the constitutional right
to a free press had been violated
by the exclusion from the mails.
The matter published, the court held
was not designed to secure the
or repeal of the laws de-
nounced. but to create hostility to
them and to encourage their VIOLA
ton. The court added:
Freedom of the press may protect |
criticism and agitation for modlfica-
ton or repeal of laws. but 1t does
not extend to protection of him who
counsels and encourages the VIOLA
ton of the law as It exists. The
was adopted to pre-
serve our government. not to serve
as protecting screen for those
who, while claiming its privileges,
seek to destroy It."
In another decision, in some
what similar case. the court com
nented on the invoking of the Con-
stitution to protect people who were
seeking to destroy It. "A curious
spectacle was presented" It said.
That great ordinance Of govern
nent and orderly liberty was invok-
ID to justify the activities OF anarchy
,r of the enemies OF the United
States, and by a strange perversion
# its precepts It was adduced against
tself.'
The underlying idea is that any
person In America has the right to
.riticlze law and urge its repeal.
Ie has no right to urge its violation. II
\ person may denounce the Vol
tead act and call for its repeal.
Ie has no right to advocate boot
egging.-Kansas City Times.

Who Renal Is
(From the New York Heraid.)

was a power to be reckoned with
when It was reported that he had
entered into an alliance with Lenins
and Trotzky regarding the division
Of the Caucasus and the control OF
the south shores Of the Black Sea.
At the same time II discovered that
his preaching Of Pan-Islamism and
Pan-Turanianism had gained him
converts from the Caspian Sea to the
Indian Ocean. It discovered that the
Nationalist army was no myth the
first time thar It drove the Greeks
back from the Bagdad railroad, and
Il became convinced that It was a
well equipped, well organized force
when a second time It hurled Con-
stantinople forces IN disorder back
to the Egean Sea.
Great Britain discovered that
Renal was versed in hereditary
Turkish diplomacy when she found
that he was dividing allied Europe
by making concessions to France and
Italy. She encountered his power
in the Eastern empire when the In
dian Moelems demanded the recog-
milton of the Nationalist movement
anu Il revision OF inc oeNTeS treaty
which would restore power to the
Caliphate and Turkey to the Turks.
And allied Europe found that he
was a real factor in the Near East
situation when It submitted to his
consideration the proposed treaty
revisions.
Renal today is the head and front
of Turkey. It is immaterial whether
he rules at Angora or Stamboul.
His followers and his army are not
but Kemalites. He has
a power over the Turks such as
Enver Pasha, who held the highest
honors of the Ottoman Empire,
never had over the people. Per-
haps the reason is that they believe
In his sincerity, perhaps It is because
he had the ability TO win their lead
ership. But Renal knows Europe
as did none OF the Young Turks de-
spite their pretense to western Gull
ture;; he knows Europe's strength
and weakness. He knows, too, the
of his present de-
nands. He is shrewder. craftfer.
more aggressive type of the Otto
nan than that with which Europe
n the past has had to deal. Beneath
his Western veneer he is still the I'M
changing Turk.

only those in the crowd who
had guns should follow into the
woods. and those who were I'M
armed should remain without.
THE surrendered men were
then marched some 200 yards
back of the power house to the
vicinity of barbed wire fence,
where they were told they
would be given a chance to run
for their lives under fire.
1.-THE firing began Immediate
ly. and thirteen OF the forty
seven non-union men were kill
ed and most OF the others Sc
verely wounded.
THE mob pursued those who
had escaped and two were hung
TO trees, six were tied together
with rope about their necks
and marched through the streets
of Herrin to an adjacent GEM
etery. where they were shot by
the mob and the throats OF
three were cut. One of six sur
vived.
1.-THE atrocities and crueities
of the murders are,beyond the
power of words to describe. A
mob is always cowardly, but the
savagery OF this mob in its re-
lentless brutality is almost I'M
believable. The indignities heap
ed upon the dead did not end
until the bodies were Inferred,
In unknown graves" 4 4.
Such was the crime over which
the mob laughed for days. Such
was the crime which the Sheriff of
Williamson county took no steps to
prevent or punish. Such was the
crime which made the country look
n wonder at State which. for the
moment, seemed unable TO carry the
aw through the defiant barriers of a
'egion ruled by the union to which
he murders belonged.
Yet God is not mocked, and Meth
n is Justice wherever and when
'ver there are brave men like the
Attorney-General of Illinois, Brund-
ige, or the States Attorney Of will

rials of the indicted men may re-

las not been .browbeaten by an or
'anized minority. knows that the
Of the mob and the cow
rdice of the local authorities have
cen held up to public execration.
The true spirit of Abraham Lin
oln's State is reused. Between what
he Grand Jury has done and what
he trial juries may do America
hould see a great lesson taught TO
isorder. 1t should see clearly vim
icated the right Of every man TO

he butchers OF Herrin are brought
D realize that murder, no matter

NOW FOR THE COAL PROBLEM.
.nnn 40 New york Herald.

From the New York Herald.
In the long look into the far fu-
ture of the country Congress left in
the hands OF the President nothing
of bigger important than the act
providing for the so-called fact find
| ing commission TO go into the ma
tional coal situation with a view TO
the reorganization of the whole IN
dustry.
And one Of the best things about
this piece of legislation is that no
restrictions were put upon the TX
ecutive as to the men he may ap-
point to the commission. He is free
to pick the seven members from
any field where he may find the best
material. And only the best should
be picked. Nothing else Will do.
This Is a real mans Job and to
get Il done in the right way for the

workers and the coal consuming
public the President will need to get
for the commission the soundest,
strongest and ablest men in the
country. He will be justified in
drafting them into this service to
the nation.
The findings of the commission
will go to the coal industry and TO
the Government merely as conclu-
sions and Communications. But IL
the men on the commission dig out
and present the facts as the right
caliber of men can dig out and pre-
sent the facts, II they stand square,

done to relieve the nation of inces-

The readers OF The New York
Herald are familiar with its sugges-

Since Samuel Gompers preached

But there hasn't been a word 20

MUST BE oUTLAWED.

From the Providence OR. ~ Journal
With the announcement by a
number OF leading Rhode Island cot
ton manufacturers that the wage
scale of January 1 has been re-
stored, the return of thousands of
workers who have been out on strike
for nearly eight months seems as
sured.
The long controversy that is thus
brought practically to an end will not
be without its compensations II
manufacturers and workers both
learn the lesson of the costliness OF
such extended disagreements. Re-
gardless of the merits of the ques-
ton at issue, regardless OF the fact
that the restoration of wage scales
at this time is an obstacle in the
path of the countrywide defiation
that has been declared necessary for
a return to wholesome economic nor
malcy It is as true today as il was In
the early stages of the strike that
Cancellation should have been en-
ployed then. The fruits OF the fail
ure to use this friendly method of
settlement are seen in the tremen-
dous losses that have been suffered
by all oncerned-manufact
workers and. the public.
The result TO the producers, while |
difficult TO calculate. has been. of
course. very serious. The workers
have sacrificed millions in wages. |
The public has been Inconvenience |
has seen the peace and order OF the |
state violated, and has had TO ac-
cept, along with the two classes d.
rectly concerned, large money loss.
business men in gem
eral, the entire industrial and COM
mercial community, have suffered.
And there is no way OF making their T
losses good.
1t is not too soon to take steps to
prevent such a collapse of industry
and retardation of prosperity in the
future. Means should be devised
for the orderly adjustment OF diff
ferences between employers and en-
ployes so that we shall not witness
again a prolonged struggle out of
which every one comes a loser. In
this enlightened twentieth century
there ought 10 be a better way of
an agreement that tedious
contest that breeds dissatisfaction
and bitterness.

Review.
One weeks salary of the 200, 900
miners who went out on strike last
June would have created a fund
which could have been used to place
before the American public any and
every equitable claim ithe miners
might have desired to make. A cam
paign OF publicity could have been
started and carried TO every man
and every woman in America. Action
could have been taken in the courts
and the most eminent counsel in the
country could have been engaged 20
present their claims before Congress
and before the tribunals the federal
government has created for exactly
such a purpose.
And while the legal controversy
was going on, while public opinion
was being created, the miner could
have kept on working. his family
would not have suffered. he would
still have his savings intact and the
country would have been saved from
distress and the loss of its billion
dollars.
Labor strikes are absurdities.

EUROPE TAKES THE HINT.
From the Omaha Rec.


Recognition of the ideal OF dis
armament is made in reports TO the
council OF the league Of nations by
a number OF nations. It Is significant,
however. that the greatest reduction
of armament did nos originate with
the league, but with the interna-
tional conference held IN Washing
ton. ~
Great Britain reports TO the coun-
ell a 50 per cent cut in naval tom
mage, Japan SO per cent. Italy 40
per cent, and France SO per cent.
There is no reason 20 believe that
this would have been possible had
not the United States acting inde-
pendently of the league of nations,
called on the powers to agree to a
program of economy and armament
limitation.
American pressure, exerted in a
different way, must be accorded
some part of the credit for such
military retrenchment as is shown
by the scaling down of Poland's
army from 100000 men to 100000.
France, Italy. Japan and Sweden also
report fewer soldiers.
As time wears on evidence ac-

Americas Independent attitude to-
ward foreign nations Had the league
Of nations covenant been ratified by

plice in the errors of the financial. !

Today. thanks to the repu-
diation Of the democratic admins
tration, America stands instead as
advisor, Inspiration and example to

enlargement. from these shores for
waste of armament, the imitation of
currency or imperialistic campaigns.

make a sincere effort to help them
