B0RAH CHARGES REINFORCEMENT
 ON LIBERTIES
Says Rights of Citizen $ Trampled on by Gov
 ernment Regulations

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Sena- tor William E. Borah of Idaho ral- lied the press Saturday night in a battle against government en- croachment upon the rights guar anteed citizens by the constitution in an address at the annual ban quet of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
 'The practice which has grown up of authorizing departments to make rules and regulations the vio- lations of which constitute crimes, is one of the most objectionable practices with which the citizen has to be content,' Borah said. This practice has been denounced by both parties when out of power but adopted and extended by both par ties when in power. The real prob lem with which modern govern ment has to deal is how to protect the citizen against encroachment upon his rights and liberties by his own government; how to save him from oppressive schemes born of the egotism of public office"
 The two most powerful agencies to counteract this trend, Borah said are free press and free speech and open, untrampled debate.
