SURPRISING FREE SPEECH

Were it not for the serious sentiment Of few
leaders local patriotic societies which prompt
ed him, nothing could have been ridiculous
than the action Of Mayor Duvall in sending police to
suppress speech in large downtown hotel.
1t is rather difficult for policeman, matter
what his orders, to set himself up as the mental
guardian of ministers, bank presidents, club women
and leading business men.
The club, waved in menace if the listeners were
from different part of the citY is lowered and
hidden in shame and confusion under such circum-
stances.
Yet it the theory that police fit to
censor utterances of speakers at public gatherings
that the mayor sent his uniformed men into big
hotel Monday, under orders to arrest speaker
If the police thought he too radical"
And the argument was that the speaker was too
smooth to violate any law and yet was public
menace because he persuaded his listeners to accept
the communstic doctrines of soviet Russia,
The absurdity of the charge and of the argument
is shown by the fact that among the guests the
president of very conservative bank with resources
running into. millions. Beside him sat a business
man whose income tax would probably keep dozen
families. Near minister who stands for the
social order as it is. 4
Yet th mayor actually believed that this speak

would send out these to hunt up correspond
ence courses in the making of bombs and plot to
dynamite the White House means of overthrow
ing their government
The character of the guests reduced the affair to
absurdity But it would have been a serious mat
ter had the listeners been men who work for wages.
There is every to believe that the mayor of
the city intended to arrest the speaker and that this
would have followed had the social standing of the
attendants been different.
AS a matter of fact gathering of working men
would probably have been less likely to accept the
doctrines of a communism than would the bank pres
ident and the merchant. The working men in this
country recognize the difference between riding
work in an automobile and walking the streets in
search of Job with feet tied in hay and gunnysacks
Much more serious than any menace of COM
munism in America is the ready acceptance of the
theory that it is right to suppress by force utter

Freedom of speech is one of the guaranteed rights

would still be one of the foundations of American
life.
This speaker has been dubbed a pacihst Per-
haps he is-and who cares? For pacifsm is also
meaningless word in this country whenever its
liberties are attacked AS etheory it fades into OBJ
livion when the call to defense is sounded.
But even If it were, the answer to it is not sup
preston of speech, but truth and argument
The people likely to become curious about
any speaker who has to be suppressed by a police
mans club.
There is only one certain way to create race of
pacifsts in this country.
That road lies IN stealthy encroachment
upon the inalienable rights of as outlined in
the Declaration Of Independence and written into
the Bill of Rights.
Pacifsm only come when liberties and rights
are stolen under the livery of law and no longer
mean anything to the men who must fight for the
sovereignty of this nation when attacked
Taking away the right of free speech will create
pacfsm than all the lectures which theoretical
gentlemen could deliver in a decade.
There is but one limitation upon that right Any
one who advocates the overthrow of this Government
by force is outside the pale. He has surrendered his
right to the protection of the Government he at
tacks. He becomes rebel and outlaw. .
But inside that line any effort to suppress utter

King and MuSSoIini

King Victor Emmanuel and Musso-
lini have fallen out over the ques-
ton of restoring capital punishment
in Italy for those who kill, or at
tempt to kill, the rulers.
The king says that though his
father died by an assassin's hand,
though he himself has been the vic
tim of a similar. If unsuccessful, as
sault, and though he may walk in
daily peril of his life, he will not
sanction death for other men to bet
ter his own protection.
Mussollni Is less of a sport. He
will live, though half Italy swings
from the gallows, and he will let
the king live, too, just to prove that
he is not thinking of himself alone.
The cards are stacked to a certain
point. Mussolinis hand-picked par
lament will pass the bill exactly as
he has drawn it. After that the
king will be asked to sign. which is
where the stacked deck ends.
Though regarded as a mere for
mality, because seldom withheld, the
royal signature Is still essential to
the enactment of a law in Italy, and
If the king refuses to scribble it on
the dotted line,> Mussolini will either
have to try force, or drop the mat
ter.

sequence, here is a test not only OF
Mussolini's power. but of his bold

Cost Of Cities

There are 247 cities in this coun-
try with 10000 or more inhabitants.
1t costs $500 100000 to operate
them each year, which is nearly as
much as 1t costs to operate the Fed
eral government and almost twice as
much as it costs to operate all the
forty-eight states.
Striking an average, it costs each
man. woman and child S37.4S annu-
ally to operate these cities, and
though the amount is impressive
enough, the fact that it has prac-
tically doubled within the last eight
years is even more impressive.
So far as taxation goes, we are
getting bigger and bigger share
of it from the city, which means
that the city is coming to play big
ger and bigger part in our political
and economic life.
