WORDS AND THE WELFARE

1r,JIF vocabulary Of Endorsement and ap-
/ probation has for many generation
suffered from the strain OF excessive, lnsln-
cere and improper usage. Good words are
sndly conyentional!zed. whereas criticism
and tart aspersions preserve much OF their
original pungency.
II is for this reason that praise in the
familiar phraseology, of wholly admlrablc
institutions such as the Welfare Federation
may seem, under certain conditions. savor-
less.
There ought to be ways Of revital!zing and
re e-enforcing well worn epithets OF approval
when the object under description authentl.
cally and incontrovertiby warrants high
commendution.
The Welfare Federation rmbodies an ex-
ceIlent idea, sound in spiritual values, un-
tmpeachable in logic. developed along eff
cient practical lines and of benefit to the
entire community, those who give and those
who receive.
II the conception we're vulnerable. con-
trary to common sense. detrimental to pub
lie interests. estimates of It's faults would be
easily credited. As 1t is none OF these
things. the underlining. rcquickening and
redemption Of threadbnrc terms, long
abused, must be left to the intelligence OF
persons endowed with grasp pf what genu-
inc social progress means.
II is to such individuals. who II Is hoped
will number many thousands, that the fed
erntiou in n single unified campaign ad-
dresses it's appeals this week. The annual
drive for funds begins today and ends on
Monday, October 80.
Support Of the undertaking means inan-

Tint no more private subscriptions will be
solicited throughout the year In behalf OF

Last year, when more than 10000 persons

force of free Government as It was con-
ceved by the men who wrote the Constitu-
ton Of the United States. They thought

people, not of n people rejecting the will

By what law would Mr.. Daugherty be
guided, II he we're to lose his tolerance and
attempt regulating the public press by
law? BY the Law Of the Divinity Of
What Is? so
So II seems at this writing. For the thing
that outraged his conscience was an editors
bitter comments on an equity decision In a
Federal court which appeared to that editor
to be un- American and tyrannous and un-
stable. For that Mr.. Daughcrty would put
Forbidden signs on newspaper desks
everywhere.
II the Attorney General will read little
in the history of law he will perceive that
we have no reason to view any court OF
equity MS a finished thing. 1t Is still sort
of makcshft. beyond the definite restraints
Of common law, an institution working Its
way toward perfection but far from perfect,
a court descended in straight line from
that in which the viii of the King was the
only law. Moreover as innumerable re-
versals by the Supreme Court show. deci'
sion of the sort which Mr.. Daugherty holds
to be sacred reflects the particular and ex-
elusive opinion Of presiding Judge as often
us It reflects the principle of abstract JUS
ticc. II the editors who criticize decisions
are guilty Of crime then certainly, the jus
tees of the supreme Court ought to go to
iail too, since their reversais are criticisms
of lower courts translated into action.
The printing press shall be free TO
every person who may undertake to
examine the proceedings OF the Legis,,
lature or any branch Of government and
no law shall ever be made to restrain the
right thereof. The free communica-
ton Of thought and r,,Iis Ipn'0nf Of " mSn one
and any citizen may speak. write or print
on any subject being responsible for the
abuse of that liberty. No
conviction shall be had for the puollca-
ton of papers relating to the otncia, con
duct of officers or men in public capacity.
We submit this for Mr.. Daugherty's at
tention. In his ears it will sound radical.
But it is merely part of Article /, section
:. Of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. IL
is an amplifcation Of the provision which,
in the Constitution of the United states,
still stands as the greatest of all guarantees
of liberty and progress. Wiser men than
the Attorney General wrote 1t. knowing that
laws must progress and charge and improve
and that the free play OF free opinion must
be depended on to make them not mere
infiexible formulas. but instruments OF com
plete justice and the reflection OF the asp'r-
ing heart and conscience of civilization.
