h"nsible as they were when uttered.
 They are free to become decent, loyal
 citizens or not, just as they choose.
 But let them choose 10 take liberties
 with free speech" aud they will find
 out that speech is free only when it
 is proper speech.
 Quite aside from political matters
 there are restrictions to our speech
 in which all thinking people see the
 propriety. Free speech" is one thing and abuse Of langun ge. through ob- scenity criminal libel about individuals or transformation arout the govern
 mon is quite another. The constitution gives every person and publication the free right to give expression to his or her or is beliefs. The country has thrived on criticism people grow strong under it. and prosperous. If there had never been criticism of mems methods of doing things, there never would have been any ingenious inventions. either in mechanics or in manner of living, thinking, acting. These inventions have come. as inn provement in methods Of government, public and private have come, because men are not complacently satisfied to live on without seeking a better way of living, or achieving.
 But progress never has to resort to obscenity. abuse, virtuperation. Only a sound, calm appeal to reason brings results. All speech is free as long as it holds itself within the proper bounds. As soon as un- and dangerous and revolting words are uttered to stir the passions 10 recklessness or wronA doing. it be- comes license in speech--a license un- der the atmosphere of which no in iiridual or no nation may thrive and l which is not to be countenanced. i Liberty of speech as well as liberty of l person is freedom only AS long as it ! aims at general bettermen at least.

PLOTTING OTHER NATIONS

"The time will come says the New
 York Times cditorially, "and it may
 not be far away when any man who
 makes a practice Of belittling or in-
 sulung the League of Nations will be
 thought of us not only foolish but
 dangerous"
 Frequently Inc Herald has drawn
 the same picture of the general con-
 tempt that will come eventually for
 the men or memory of them. in this
 regard. who limited their vision to
 the shores oC the United States. The
 comment Of the New Yorl, newspaper
 followed an adverse criticism Of Sen
 ator Lodges proposition that a new
 world court should be created instead
 of adopting The going organization ale
 ready in existence which has shown
 repeatedly that although 1t was con-
 ceiycd by th" League its decisions are
 thines apart from those of the
 League: that it Is not influenced by it
 This was especially notable in a ease
 where thn ioagae asked tho court for ruling oEt question which the court
 refused to give on tho ground that if
 did not come within hs jurisdiction
 and that the court could not depart
 from rules of justice and equity even at the request Of the League. In that case representatives or one of the na- tious concerned had not appeared be- fore the court. The court, therefore, did not have ari the facts before 1t and refused to render a decision with 1 out voluntary presentation of such i facts by all concerned.
 When Che League of Nations be- ] came the official issue at the presi- ] dential election which put inc late ! President Harding into the White !. House. it is recalled that he favored i approaching other peoples with a view l to forming am association of nations. l At That time lt was the name League of Nations" that was objectionable to 1 the republican politicians. Now Sem ator Lodge takes tne same stand in . regard to the World Court. There are forty or more nations bound 10 if. An American sits in that court But if I- stamrad with. democratic approval hence he will have none ol ir Being a regular ol the regulars ho must ad- hare iH theory .9 the iIea Of harmoni- ous relations with other nations. but such harmonious relations must come. acordfng 10 his belief. from fine mind of the republican party, even though He is obliged 10 '11suit~ and "fout" .uer nations wno arc membars of tla -oart noz fwurti0Bing.

SANTA CLAUS

of wide circulation asked several
 noted writers whether they considered
 it wise or unwise to continue the myth
 of Santa Claus. As this is matter inn
 proper to be discussed before children
 believers in him, it would be well not
 to read aloud the rest of this editorial
 upon d subject that is truly significant
 and which may or may not affect the
 lives of those who are now children
 but who in a few years. will be more
 orf less dtsalusioucd men and wmeu
 In response 10 tAr magazme'a rr-
 quest Geors" H.rnarI Shaw--or was il II. c. Wells said santa Claus ho blowed" Dorothy CmGn}d Fisher, ou the ether hand, believed that the spirit ot santa Claus should be preserved for the children, but the utmost wis., dom used in talking about him.
 The objection made by some adults 10 the custom of telling children that a genial, kind old man called Santa Slaas comes every Christmas with gifts for the good little ones, Is that when they are first told there is no such person as santa Claus they get to thinking deeply over the matter. lt seems to them that they have lost a friend, and they look ashance at the parents who have been telling them all these years That there is such person, Why should their parents, who have emphasized the necessity for telling the truth upon ail occa- sions. teF them this tale that Is not true2 Why have they been allowed to grow up believing iu the existence of Santa Claus, the personldcation of all that was kindly and happy and geuarous2 What ol5cct had these par ents In telling this wuth"
 To many it may saom but a small thing this coming Go tho boy or girl Of the knowledge that santa Claus does not live. But it is not a small thing to many children. IL Is a trage- dy Is it wise, then, to keep lt mp as many are keeping if up:
 In an earnastness it may be said that one feels he would be taking away one or the great joys Of chiid- hood were the though of santa Claus to be allowed to die out of their lives. And with equal earnestness 1t may be said that one hesitatos to lay the 1. foundation for the disappointment and wonder which will come when . child finds out he or she has been de- . ceiFed There Is a way out Of tho difficulty, but it requires such infinite . sct and wisdom that Co take this way is difficult indeed. 4 bridging o5 the difficulty will come if parent or the parents are able to have the child understand that a spirit is present at . Christmas time which spirit moves all or us to observe the anniversary of tbe birth Of the greatest Teacher of all time by being kind to others by pro- senting them with gifts and by trying 10 bring to the season ail the jay we may. This spirit is represented by the familiar face Of Santa Claus. fin whose genial smiles there is touch of tho divine. He lives for the sake of the little people Of the world, aad when those little people grow up. he speaks and acts through him, giving his pres ents by use Of their hands; bringing happiness because he inspires in them the desire to give happiness. In this ,iew Of santa Claus be should ba pre- serted for the saEe not only of fine children but for the sake af aG Us.

week, to advance at the speed of
about two and one-quarter feet per
hour, or three miles a year. With
work going on from both the French
and English sides, simultaneously
this three miles per year speed, dou-
bled, completes the Dover bore in the
four years mentioned; after which,
three years additional work are de-
manded to get trains actually run
ming.
At the same rate OF advance, the
Gibraltar bore of nine miles (plus
three miles of approaches) would be
finished, say, in two years from the
day when the shields begin to move!
Or an eighteen-m mile Gibraltar tunnel
pierced in three years!
If the Gibraltar stratum be found
slower work, time must be added.
But the point is that, in mere length
of miles, the Dover bore has nothing
on the less known and more pictur-
esque one at the other end of Europe.
The Gibraltar tunnel will be deep;
ventilation will be a great detail,
perfectly in hand with modern
methods and electric traction; tenn
perature will admittedly, rise to 80
degrees Fahrenheit; and the ap-
proaches on land will be longer. But
in the two cases.
Starting work together, the Gibraltar
tunnel may well be completed almost as
soon as the Comparatively trivial opera

imagination; yet the distance saved
by a straight cut across Algiers,
Tripoli, Egypt, Arabia and Persia, to

What would not England have

African line, the London Capetown
connection will have only to link up
with the English Transafrican Rail-

of the rodents could not have been

was exhibited piece Of wood carving
representing two life-stzed wrestlers
contending in the ring. Every muscle
and every vein were delineated, every
tendon and every ligament were au-
atomically perfect. 1t drew a constant
crowd, and a policeman informed the
proprietor of the shop that IL he tn-
tended to continue the wrestling ON
