TRACY
SAYS:
america Wants DiSarm-
ament, but She Is in No
Mood to Leave Herself
Unattended for the Sake
of the Ideal"

American delegates to the Geneva
disarmament conference have let it
be known that this Government is
prepared to take its chances in a
naval building race if the Coolidge
plan is not accepted.
Harsh as such warning may
sound, it was needed to- clarity the
situation. The United States has
approached the question of dis
armament with too many soft words
and in offensive phrases.
The world has gained impression
that the American people were bent
on disarmament and we're merely
trying to persuade other nations to
adopt a course already decided on
in this country.
1t was high time that somebody
corrected such an erroneous idea.
America wants disarmament, but
she is in no mood to leave herself
undefended for the sake of the
idea.
If other nations are willing to go
further than to make formal agree
ments which they do not intend to
keep in spirit, or to bubble over es-
sential conditions, this country is
quite prepared to continue to play
the old game.

Free Speech
BY LOUIS ID. BRANDEIS
From his opinion, as Associate Justice
Il the United States Supreme Court, IN
the Anita Whitney caseJ

Those who won our independence
believed that the final end OF the
state was to make men free to de-
velop their faculties; and that in
its government the deliberative
forces should prevail over the arbi-
trary. They valued liberty both as
end and as a means. They believed
liberty to be the secret of happiness
and courage TO be the secret OF lib
erty. They believed that freedom
to think as you will and to speak
as you think are means indispensa-
BILE to the discovery and spread OF
political truth; that without free
speech and assembly discussion
would be futile; that with them
discussion affords ordinarily ade-
ouate protection against the dis
semination of noxious doctrine; that
the greatest menace to freedom is
an inert people; that public discus
sion is a political duty; and that
this should be fundamental prin-
ciple Of the American Government.
They recognized the risks to which
all human institutions are subject.
But they knew that order cannot
be secured merely through fear Of
punishment for its infraction; that
it is hazardous 10 discourage thought.

of safety lies in the opportunity to
discuss freely supposed grievances
and proposed remedies; and that
the fitting remedy for evil counsels
is good ones.
| Believing in the power Of reason
as applied through public discus
sion they eschewed silence coerced
by law-the argument of force in
its worst form.

Third Term Talk

The plan now is to carry the third
term issue to Congress. Republicans
opposed to Coolidge believe it might
embarrass him, and Democrats are
willing to. join them on the ground
that it could not possibly do any
harm.
At best it is one of those cheap
political tricks which deceives no
body.
Congress has no more to do with
the third term than any similar
number of citizens.
1t can argue and resolve to its
hearts content, but it cannot prove
or decide anything.
The fact that no President has
ever been given a third term is a
matter of custom and precedent.
Mr.. Coolidge can undertake to set
aside the precedent and break the
custom if he is so inclined and the
only power that can prevent him
from doing so is the voice of the
people.

An Old Idea

The idea of flying across the At
lantic ocean is not so new
Thirteen years ago Rodman Wan
amaker had a Curtis biplane built
at Hammondsport, N. Y, which
Lieut. Cyril Porte was prepared to
fly from Newfoundland to Ireland.
1t was named the America, had a
wing spread of I u feet, weighed
$500 pounds and was equipped with
two motors capable of developing
200 horsepower.
The World War broke out just be-
fore Lieut.. Porte was ready to start
and he was called home to England.
The airplane was later sold to
England and though enormously re-
ported sunk, rendered good service
for several years.

a sweet girl in the circus. Her dad
docs not like "the unknown" and
so the armless wonder plants hate
into the girls heart for men who
have arms and use 'em.
So it is with pride that. THE I'm
known sees the circus girl turn
down fiat the strong man of the
circus. Then he realizes that he
must really be armless and he goes
to a doctor and forces him to
amputate his arms.
But in the meantime, the strong
man had influenced the circus girl
to understand that his love was real.
1t is a dramatic moment when
CLANCY returns really armless and
finds the girl he loves in the arms
of another.
CLANCY plans a wicked ard
terrible revenge. Here is most melo-
dramatic theater, but it certainly
gives this movie a gigantic wallop.
But of course true love wins and

National Memorial

Gutzon Borglum has gone to
South Dakota to begin work on a
huge national memorial.
It will be carved on the side of
Mt. Rushmore and will include
heroic figures of Washington, Jeffer-
son, Lincoln and Roosevelt, together
with many lesser lights. and tab
let eighty feet wide and 100 feet
high, on which will be recorded the
great events of American history in
letters fourteen feet high.
Mr.. Borglum calls it the COM
pletion of the dream of Columbus"
The fact that it will cost $4,000
900, of which only a few thousand
have been subscribed, suggests that
it involves the completion of at
least one other dream.

Stars Salaries SIaShed

Mussolini cuts the wages of all
Italy without trouble. but similar
cut in the American movie industry
promises strike.
We have been led to believe that
the movie business was ruled by an
oligarchy, if not by an autocrat, but
reports from Hollywood indicate
that those who serve in the ranks
have not lost their disposition to
question the powers that be.
According to these reports, every
body from the star down is prepar-
ing to fight the reduction.
1t would be a novelty to see a
strike organized by people who draw
from five hundred to five thousand
dollars week on the ground that a
ten per cent cut would make it i'm
possible for them to maintain a de-
cent standard of living.

Pleasant EXCEPTIONS

Babe Ruth wants $4,000 deducted
from his 1924 income tax on the
ground that he used it to entertain
sports writer's, press agents and
other persons, to keep himself be-
fore the public and establish good
will"
Ruth asserts that this was a
necessary business expense and
deductable. The Government con-
tends that it was a personal nature.
The decision should be of i'm
portance to thousands of people, for
if the Bambino is allowed to deduct
such expenditures as essential to
his business it necessarily follows
that every husband, who pays for
dinner given by his wife to help him
put over deal is entitled to the
same consideration.

Not Enough Business

Transatlantic telephone service
at SIS for the first three MINUTES
and $25 for each minute after has
proved a losing proposition for the
first five months.
From January II to June 7. when
it was first inaugurated, a total of
485 calls were placed in Great
Britain and els in the United
States.
Calls are now being placed at the
rate of four a day in this country
and three day in Great Britain.
This is not enough, officials of the
service declare, to show a profit.

Morrison r. Toomer

Kindness tolerance, fairness, good humor, to-
gether with hard hitting beigerence when occasion
demands.
Those qualities are seldom found in combination.
But Morrison r. Toomer possessed them and in rare
proportion The result was an editor of exceptional
influence
Applying those attributes to the Fort Worth
Press, Scripps- Howard newspaper, he accomplished
one of the most striking successes in recent Amer-
can Journalism
AND he did so without noise or fuss or irritation
in the same way that distinguished his accomplish
ments as soldier in the World War.
Back in the spring of 1917, before the first call
to conflict had been officially sounded, Toomer quit
his newspaper job to volunteer. He rejected for
physical reasons He tried again with the same
result Finally, through of those queer qurks
of off1caldom. he was accepted in the draft.
Starting private, in few months he was a
lieutenant in France.
He possessed those traits best described as quiet
effectiveness.
Like still water the course of his life ran deep
and strong His was a strength of character that
oVercame the obstacles Of poor health and frail
physique.
In Fort Worth and the community in which his
paper circulated he contributed in terms of public
service that which will live throughout the years.
The span of his editorship comparatively
short, but the range of his influence is unlimited
even by death and will continue as long as Fort
Worth exists.
His passing takes from journalism of its
finest men.
