MISGUIDED MINORITY
OPPOSE GOVERNMENT
ASSERTS DAUGHERTY
Attorney General Explains His
Position In Letter to
Chicago Editor

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-(By A Pr
Only a misguided minority oppose
honest government, Atty Gen. Har-
~ M. Daugherty declared in a letter
to John c. Shaffer. publisher of the
Chicago Evening Post, received to-
day. In the letter Mr.. Daugherty
gave conception Of what is intended
in the constitution as freedom Of
speech"
ct wish might explain my views
at length, but it would be an end
less task to reply to all OF those who
have written me on this subject"
Mr.. Daugherty wrote.
There are countless elements
thrusting always at the foundation
of tablished government, ever rea-
dy, insidiously TO harmfully impede
national progress. ever hopeful for
the disintegration Of society and all
that we hold sacred.
I'm my Canton COhio) speech. I
said:
1T must be remembered that
the freedom of speech guaranteed
under the constitution is not that
freedom of speech which incltes to
mob violence, destruction OF life and
property and attacks on government.
This is not what our forefathers m
tended by vouchsahng freedom OF
speech and liberty Of the press
But the press of the nation and
thinking men and women do no,
clamor for the downfall OF estab-
iished government. Their sentiments
and their ideals are born Of enlight-
ened civilization. Unfortunately,
however. there are some who can
find no sacredness in our laws or in
our courts OF justice Lying IS an
accursed vice, "a reprehensible az
treason itself. Yet there are those
who are always ready 70 malign the
government.
So il IS em'nently proper that the
liberty loving people OF this country
who revere law and justice should
pause for a moment and remember
that those who oppose honest gov
eminent are out a misguided minor
ity. rejecting only their own narrow
views.
so long as we respect and honor
7 our laws, repose faith IN our public
officials and abide by the traditions
traced across pages Of history by
our forefathers. our country and our
/ government viii be safe

Madison Federal prohibition Off
Gals who killed julius Wurzer Of Ell
ton, Wis, when he attempted to evade
arrest, we're not justified in their &C
ton under the Wisconsin law, j. E.
Messerschmidt, assistant attorney-gen-
era1, advised T. ]. Reinert, district at
torney at Amigo, Wis, in an opinion
today. RI
"In view of the fact, as it appears
from the evidence, that Wurzer was
attempting to escape and did not carry
concealed weapons nor resist arrest and
had not committed felony, nor could
he be suspicioned of having committed
felony, the officer was not justified
in killing him." Messerschmidt held.
The officers, in the opinion of the
encouragement, are liable to punish
ment for the killing. Wurzer was
killed several weeks ago near Elton,
when he attempted to escape from fed
eral prohibition officers, who had sur
rounded q shack in, which he and assoc
ciates were believed to be making
moonshine liquor. The officers were
later arrested and brought to Amigo
for trial.

Russian Prisoners
Say Thanks to EN-
(Bv Associated Pressl

(By Associated Press)
Moscow.-The majority of political
prisoners, men and women, being re-
leased from Soviet prisons speak with
satisfaction of their Imprisonment as
"a great experience" While they are
not at all anxious to renew the ex-
perience, they insist that it did them
good.
AS being locked up in Russia has be-
come sort of habit, there is no shame
attached to Imprisonment, and those
released seem proud of their time
spen6 behind bars.
The women prisoners feel that they
have seen a novel side of life and,
while rich in their abuse of the con-
ditions of their Imprisonment, invari-
ably wind up their recital by saying
theirs was a great and valuable ex-
perience.
: Instead of punishifg these people, it
would almost seem the Soviet govern
ment had conferred distinct benefit
on them by locking them up. The
solitude of prison life, with its oppor-
tunity for self-acquaintance, appealed
to Miss Alexandra Tolstoi, daughter Of
the great writer, who was locked up
once for eight months at stretch.
A Georgian princess spoke enthusi-
astieally to the correspondent of her
Imprisonment because it confirmed her
belief in God. She related how, after
months of slow travel in a prison
train on her way to Archangel, she
fell i'll with the typhus, after which
she was, by some mischanee, put In
solitary confinement. She broke down
under the strain, she stated, and fer
vently prayed for release, and it came
within the day.
Another woman, once wealthy, de-
clared that her Imprisonment had
taught her the Communist regime was
no worse if not an improvement or
the old imperial one. Thrown among
people of her own class in prison, she
found the selfish and unwilling to
share their food, cigarettes and blan-
kets, as was the case of the plain sol
diers Of the peasant class also in the
same prison.
"The human mask of convention and
politeness dropped from the educated
people, and their fears and selfshness
shone plain for all to read" said the
woman. "This mill of suffering and
bloodshed and revolution has been
needful lesson. It is an impulse to-
wards a new life"
