After a ten minutes walk we came
suddenly upon a house, a massive
stone building, half covered with ivy.
A large veranda ran across the front,
forming at one end a glass-enclosed
sun parlor. What appealed to me
most was the huge stone tower that
rose from the center Of the building
to height Of some thirty feet. The
house, with its well-kept lawn, stretch
ing to the woods in the distance, made
a beautiful picture.
Though we had not paused long to
admire the scene, we did not have
time to ascend the steps and ring the
bell before the butler opened the door.
Currie gave his name and we were
ushered into a great room which.
from its furnishings, might have been
called library If there had been any
books In it.
When the butler had left US, Bart
ley said to Currie, II presume that
this is the room where they found the
burglars?"
Currie nodded, and turned to look
about. It had two large windows
opening on the side of the house where
there was no veranda, and nearby a
small safe, half hidden in the wall.
This, judged, must have been what
the burglars were seeking. tried to

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

William Allen White, editor of the
Emporia Gazette, and famous move
list and publist was awarded the Pull
itzer prize Of $500 for having written
the best newspaper editorial during
the year of 1922. 1t was published in
the Gazette July 81. The editorial was
an appeal for free speech and its read
ing or re-reading is commended by
those including judges who act upon
the assumption that suppression OF
free speech and throttling of the press
have a place in democratic institutions
The editorial follows:
TO AN ANXIOUS FRIEND
"You tell me that law is above free
dom of utterance and l reply that you
can have no wise laws nor free en-
forcement Of wise laws unless there
is free expression of the wisdom Of
the people-and alas their folly with
it. But if there is freedom folly will
will survive. That is the history of the
race, 1t is the proof of mans kinship
with God.
You may say that freedom of utter
ance is not for time of stress and |
reply with the sad truth that only in
timme of stress is freedom of utter
ance in danger. No one questions it in
calm days because it is not needed
And the reverse is true also: Only
when free utterance is suppressed is
it needed and when it is needed it is
most vital to justice. Peace is good
But if you are interested in peace thru
force and without free discussion
that is to say, free utterance decently
and in order-your interest in justice
