FREEDOM IN ITALY.

THE newspapers of the United States
! have been and are conducting a fight
against an insidious attack upon freedom
of the press. They were heartened by re-
cent decision of the u. s. supreme court de-
claring unconstitutional the Minnesota law
that gave to judges the power to put out OF
business by judicial decree papers consld-
cred baneful. Of course no one defends
malicious publications but it would be most
disastrous to give any Judge power to say
what papers should and should not exist
That would be placing in one mans hands
too great power over the press.
Americans consider freedom of speech

TtrW As 4 IT ,fi,A s51kAN NJ CHANGE FROM
AN OLD PRACTICE.

YFwe had been asked before it was done.
/ we would have said it would be utterly
impossible to accomplish such result c
refer to the peace aud quiet that prevailed
throughout the city of Libby last Saturday
NIGHT, the night that for several centuries
has been given up to ghosts, witches and
hobgoblins and on which the young urchlns
of every community run wild over tner
neighbors property, cut up pranks, often,
times destroy property, and III general
make nuisance and pest OF themselves.
Remembering boyhood days and the
unholy "kick' we got out of similar esca-
pades. we have always had a feeling Of len-
ency and excuse for the boys and girls who
went out on mischief bent on Hallowe 'en.
Well admit that sometimes we were pushed
to the verge Of evaporation by the young
sters' antics but the recollection OF former
wears invariably was sufficient to over
come that feeling. It was custom OF long
standing and the thought was let the young
sters have their fun.
Others have felt differently and with
iustifiable reason for their conviction,
especially when widespread destruction O.
property was observed on every hand OH
the dav following Halloween. Therefore
when our city authorities announced feW
weeks ago that a strenuous effort Would
be made to put stop to this form OF law
lessness. that children engaged III the usuai
HalloWe'e EN- pranks would be arrested the
following day and taken into police court.
we felt the authorities ought to be com
mended for their stand against al age-old
practice Of which large numbers OF people
were becoming tired. We felt they would
meet with greater or less degree OF sue
cess. but that there would be considerable
cutting 1lp ahot town i'll spite OF their bes
efforts. What was Our surprise Sunday
morning to find that everything was qule
and serene throughout the city and SO la
as we have been able to observe, there were
very few instances Of the usual Hal
lowe Ell lawlessness. Practically no window
were soapel, no automobiles were moye'
from where their owners had left them, n
old wagons or autos were found III consplc
uous pieces, III fact, there was nothing I
indicate that Halloween had come All
passed
r must be admitted it was pleasan
change.
We have now reached the kernel CT TN
editorial and that is to commend our yer
able chief executive, Mayor SWltzer, I'll

from precedent and thereby bringing peat

thoroughly with the city authorities
keeping their children off the streets al

WESTINGHOUSE GOOD WILL
TRIP THROUGH NEW ENGLAND

Throughout New England October OF
this year will bring historic reminders,
for in that month In 1889, George
Washington, seven months after being
sworn in as first president OF the
United States, began the first presl-
dental Swing around the circle That
IS. on October Is, President Washing
ton set out from the national capital,
then New York City, for good will
tour of the New England states.
President Washington's purpose was
TO give the people sense OF the TACT
that they now had national govern
ment, and he thought it good thing
for himself to note the condition OF the
country and its people.
AS usual, Washington himself is the
best authority for what happened %
him on this journey Methodical N
all his actions, he lotted down IN ms
diary every fact and figure that struck
him as worthy of note. From what ne
did record. it is clear that either he
was not interested in the feeble stir
rings of politics, or else chose not to
set down his observations. His con-
cern was rather for the material than
the political progress OF the country
and not a detail escaped him as to the
condition of New England's farms, IN
dustries, shipping, fisheries, and habi-
tations.
President Washington set out fron'
New York at 8 in the morning OF Dc
tober Is and proceeded along what wa:
! then and still is, known as the Boston
Post Road. Covering 81 miles the frs
| day through lower Connecticut, ovel
| d highway that he notes as rough anf
stony. he found the country thrift,
and well-tilled but in some places still
bearing the marks of British destruc
tion Stamford had a mill-dam which
interested him, and Norwalk then wa
busy shipping port. Curiousl
enough, we learn from President Wash
ington the size of Yale College in 178'
Pausing at New Haven, he took tn
trouble to learn that it numbered II
students.
From there he struck northWar
through Wallingford to Hartford on n
way to Springfield and Massachusetts
where he Immediately noted fact thu
struck him. That was the prevallln
: equality of fortune among the peopl
In Massachusetts there were neltht
the very rich nor the very poor.
At Brookfield, Massachusetts, te
miles beyond Springfield, Presldel
Washington was met by couriers fro
Governor Hancock, inviting the Pres
dent to be his official guest in Bosto
The President had no intention OF pc
hitting the Governor Of any state
: assume, even as a host, a position s.
c perior to that Of the Chief Executi
4 of the United States. To carry out 7

Business Beating Back

The American Federation of Labor
on completing survey of economic
conditions last week declared, "Un-
questionably, underlying factors in the
business situation are gradually i'm
proving.
The federation referred to the
late visit of Premier Laval of
France as of the greatest significance,
and said that the National Credit Cor
poration, organized after conference
with President Hoover and group
Of bankers, has brought about signs
of increased confidence
Frightening of the business horizon,
at least in number Of lines that might
be listed as "specialties,' is reported
from various industrial spots along the
Atlantic seaboard.
Among several concerns that cited
good if not booming" sales, it was
noted that advertising, instead of being
cut. either had been sustained at pre-
vious levels or increased materially
Increased confidence is reflected in
the Federal Reserve Banks statement
of conditions for the week. The boost
IS held due to the new bank credit
plan.
Addressing the American Iron and
| Steel Institutee, Of which he is presi-
dent Charles M. Schwab declared that
the financial world is Strengthening
itself out" and industry has gotten
/ its second wind
He added:
"As the losses grow less, as progress
is made inch by inch, we are progress
i ing steadily to better times Let us for
get predictions and panaceas. Just as
soon as our business and the business
of the country begin to show an up
ward trend in profits, that will be the
, real beacon of prosperity"
| Mr.. Schwab's rosy view of the flu
ture was shared by many of the mem
! bers, including E. G. Brice, president
