LIBERTY

This is the Age of Freedom says defender of the
worder. There is NOSE nsstent demand for per-
sonal liberty than ever before
Yes, in way But in way that doesn't succeed
very well, for reasons that should be obvious
Everybody generally speaking in this post-bellum
era, to want whole lot of freedom for himself
but very little for the other fellow. Nobody must tell
what to do, but must tell everybody else
what to do.
The net result is limitation of freedom for every
body and general bald temper because of what all
regard unwarrantabe interference with our own
sacred right to do please.
Suppose, now the procedure reversed. Sup
pose, instead of demanding individuals that the
rest of society concede personal freedom,
other folks.
uals Suppose we let children, relatives, neghbors,
far live of their lives, instead of trying to
do it for them
Suppose we admitted that their lives are really
THEIRS that they have free will and conscience
have, and ought to exercise them. That in fact, it
isn't going to do them society whole, any last
ing good unless they choose and act and speak for
themselves Then they might possibly get into
frame of mind where they would grant the
rights
Says old and wise book: at is better to do ones
own duty, nthough it be devoid of excellence than
to perform anothers duty we'll The duty of another
is full Of danger
Liberty fails today because many of us-indivd-
uas, societies and nations insist taking of
other peoples business.

Pencils Cause of
Kennedy's Arrest

James Kennedy, who has been ar.
rested several times by Ell Centre
police lately, will be asked to ex-
plain his opssession of dozen pen
ellis when he is arraigned before
Judge Hervey Monday morning on
a charge of vagrancy. Kennedy was
arrested last night by Patrolmen c..
A. Rosenquest and George Pryor.
According to the patrolmen, Ken.
nedy was little the worse for hav-,
ing partaken of some canned heat
when they apprehend him and that
he attempted to dispose of the PEN
ellis when caught. Asked where he
obtained them he is said to have re-
piled that he bought them for 95i
cents. The pencils, however, the
patrolmcn claim sell at five cents
apiece retail and therefore should
not have cost more than go cents at
the most.

DEBTS AND ARMAMENT

nations. It is much heavier than the Indebtedness to
the United States which several nations consider
grievous

army and navy an American statesman points out is
than three times her annual payment to the Unit
ed States. Frances appropriations for armament
than five times large the payments arrang-
ed in the American debt settlement now pending, and
Czecho-Slovakias are II times as large.
Poland could pay her debt to the United States with
her military expenditures for two and onehalf years.
Roumania could pay hers in 16 months. D.
Americans do not want the other nations to dsre-
gard their safety to money for the
express purpose of paying it to But Ameri-

still spending good deal more money on armament

him and later recovered when they
arrived in Los Angeles via Southern
Pacific railroad freight, Edgar M. Col
