LIFE, LIBERTY, AND
PURSUIT or HAPPINESS

1hoSe who think that the American
to do or say anything they see fit re-
constitution guarantees them the right
CARELESS of the effect of their act on
other persons, would do we'll to consider
the case of Kiowa county, Oklahoma
Approximately 10000 persons are under
quarantine in Kiowa county because of a
dozen fatal cases of spinal meningitis,
and most of them have reasons to be glad
that they are under quarantine. No
more than three persons can congregate
at one place in the county. A doctors
prescription is necessary to buy a gallon
of gasoline, because authorities wish to
reduce traffic. Villages appear to be
deserted
1t is all because American laws are
drafted to protect the best interests of
the greatest number of people. In Kiowa
county, personal liberties are curtailed
to such an extent that they are almost
removed entirely. Such curtailment is
necessary to prevent wholesale death and
suffering, so the law allows it and the
constitution condoneS the law. No right
thinking individual can find any argu-
ment against such restrictions, knowing
that they are necessary if the communi-
ty life upon which civilization is founded
is to be carried on.
Yet, in cases less clear cut, there is
considerable argument against laws
which seek to accomplish the same pur-
pose. individuals whose chief aim is to
bring about strife and eventual over
throw of the American government,
when confronted with the law, camor
that the law is unconstitutional It is
their belief that the constitution gives
them the privilege of seeking the govern
ment's overthrow if they so desire. Queer
as it may seem, they seek protection I'M
der the very document against which
their efforts are directed.
The American constitution does guar
antee the right of free speech and free
press. There is no law against criticiz-
ing the constitution. There is no law
against criticizing the government, nor
seeking by peaceful means to have it
changed There is no law against criti-
cism of officials or official methods.
But there is law against melting vio-
lence in an attempt to overthrow the gov
eminent, and there should be such law.
The men who wrote the constitution
provided for revolution in their country
but it must be peaceful revolution.
Under the immortal document, anything
which can be accomplished by force can
also be accomplished by peaceful meth
DDS. If ever change is found to be neces-
sary in the basic structure of American
government, that change can be brought
about through calm deliberation and in
formed action. 1t should not be other
wise
Freedom, under the constitution, is
freedom for the entire population, not
just freedom for one man or one group
to promulgate doctrines harmful to the
whole.
The Oklahoma county knows that the
best interests of each individual, in the
long run, are governed by the best in
terests of the community. 1t is the doc
trine upon which American government
is founded

things can't make a great deal of
difference. Mr.. Happ knows all
about me. Won't you please get
your information from him."
"Well, why don't you tell it,"
Because l can't see that It's
any of your business, and there
are certain reasons why / don't

tails about my private affairs"
"OA, all right" the officer
said. "What time did you go to

but l had some things to do after
I entered my room. l sat down
IN the chair and fell sound asleep.

Norman Happ, standing by the
door, turned and came striding
over toward them, 'FMiss GRADES,
he said.
She turned to face him.
The officer frowned.
Norman Happ, disregarding the
officers frown, stared steadily
at Millient. Something in his
eyes seemed to give her new
strength, brought up a wild surge
Of hope in her bosom, a hope
that. in some way, a solution
would be found for her prob
lens.

voice, "that this man encounter

asked Bob Caise to bring him to
! his fathers secretary. That's the
reason Bob brought the officer
here"

The officer frowned, and star
ed at young Happ. "What the
devil has that got to do with it?''
he asked.
81 simply wanted her to know"
Norman Happ said, "why it hap
pened that Caise seemed to have
brought you to her."
"He brought me here because
I told him | wanted to be brought

Exactly" Happ said.
seLook here" the officer told him.
"you two get out of here. I'm
doing this questioning, and I'm
thoroughly capable of doing it,
Happ bowed, moved toward the
door, turned and smiled at Mill
cent. Then he and Caise left the
room, closing the door behind
them.
The officer stared IN frownine
concentration at the doorway for
moment, said, "That was q
funny way for him to act. He
acted almost as though ne was
giving you some message"
"Oh, did you think so?" Mill

stared helplessly about her. The
door to the corridor seemed to
be more a source of danger than
of safety. Should she leave the
room carrying this KEY contain
er, she might run into Bob Calse.
She turned toward the window,
looked down into the yard, with
its walk, it's ornamental shrub
berry, and its wrought-iron fence
separating the yard from that of
the house adjoining. There was
a summer house, a fountain and
a pond of water at the base of
the fountain, pond in which
there were water lilies and fish.
Millicent stared steadily at the
pond. She believed it was pos
sible to toss the key container
out Of the window so that it
would hit the pond.
She raised the window, esti-
mated the distance carefully,
held the key container balanced

She heard steps in the CORR

turned to the window and tossed
the key container out toward the
pond.
She stood watching it was fas-
cinated eyes. 1t sailed in a long
arc. For moment she thought
it was going too far. Then it
dropped rapidly, and she heaved
a sigh of relief as she saw it
splash into the pond.
