Freedom Of speech and Of the
press are noble fundamentals Of q
democracy-their absence in the
United States is unthinkable.
ut what is freedom of the press
and Of speech9 Is that not a
very burning question when such
things as the following are freely
printed in newspaper-herewith
translated from the editorial col
umns of the Chicago Staas-Z
tung, a daily newspaper in the Ger
man language:
'The American Legion, this in
strument bought with British gold
to suppress truth, to gag freedom
of conscience, to beat down every
free expression of opinion, to be-
tray organized American labor
this American Legion seeks the
scalp Of Police Commissioner Mil
Ter of st. Louis. Mr.. Miller had in
plain terms given expression to a
naked truth in that he has estab-
lished the fact that S5 per cent of
all crimes must be attributed to
veterans of the world war"
"The army, far from being hot
bed of patriotic virtue, was quite
evidently an excellent preparatory
school for the fostering of this in
clination, at least among the mil
ions who did not at all learn to un-
derstand the seriousness of the
war, hut sneaked about the training
camps or among the halting places
in France"
"Those who had really adopted
the trade of war (the volunteers)
as means of earning living were
the best among them and even they
we're, almost without exception,
tramps, vagabonds and bums."
"When. the American Legion
claims these volunteers as its nu-
cleus it is naturally treading upon
dangerous ground, for the possibil-
ity is imminent of relapse of
those elements into their earlier
pursuits, and criminal warrant
might operate to their undoing."
"The American Legion goes
about peddling the claim that it
embodies the. cream of the nation.
1t seems to create the belief that it
unites in itself the best and noblest
elements of tn American people,
that it is dedicated to unselfish de-
votion to its American fellow citi-
zens, and that the country owes it
an especial reverence because it so
spontaneously and readily sprang
to her defense. That is merely an
audaciOus lie."
So we have freedom Of press"
in America that permits these Bit
ter, brutal outrageous filings to ap-

until, towards the end Of the war, it
became apparent that there would
be shortage of paper. Thereupon
the prices Of paper, which had sold
from 2 to 3 cents a pound, was
rapidly showed up to 6 cents, 10
cents and even as high as Is and
20 cents a pound.
Take it from US, the profteering
that was done in paper over two or
three years was one of the most
gorgeous things you ever saw in
American businessl Then Sweden
and Norway and Germany began
shipping paper to this country to
sell for as low as A cents-and stin
cheaper, if necessary. That killed
the paper profteering infant indus
try for the time being.
Now, the silver tongued profit
eers are asking for a good stiff tar
iff to prevent the pulp paper from
foreign spruce woods to come into
this country. Such a tariff you'd
enable them to advance prices over
again at will.
Why stop gallant profteer
from soaking every man, woman
and child who buys a paper?
