WORTH A FAIR TRIAL.

Closing hours controversial issue in connection with the handling of liquor Juneau, appears about to be settled by the City Council through elimna- tion. It probably is about good way as any of solving the problem, at least it is worth trial
 Juneau, in fact is what is known 24-hour town. The mine the principal industry operates continuously with the result that some of the shifts must take their recreation at odd hours The boats many of them during these summer months come in at all hours and often passengers want to come ashore regardless of the hour to friends just kill some time. If they want liquor, wine beer there is apparent difference in dispensing it to them legitimately at o'clock in the morning than ct o'clock in the afternoon. The matter of doing keeps What may be the middle of the night for some of that work at the more generally recognized working hours may be the middle of the day or the first of the evening for those em- ployed at night Because makes his liveli- hood at unusual hours it hardly seems fair that he should be egslaed against and that is probably what the City Council had in mind
 Too it has been revealed in the past that too close restriction breeds bootleggng Closing Juneau from am. to am. Sundays or any other city merely invites the law vioator get busy and peddle his illicited
 It appears to be not much when liquor shall Dc sold but proper enforcement If the regulations are properly carried out and the operators of the various dispensares and liquor stores give officials their wholehearted support in keeping their places inside the law the non-closing ordinance will work out all right It's worth fair trial.

Free to Be Foolish.
(New York Times.)

Almost at the very time when Secretary Ickes was insisting upon the right of free speech even when many disliked what he said the country had an excellent example of what meant Senator Long made speech in which he touched heights of folly new even for him. Furious at the action of the Administration in keeping from his hands the spending of relief money in Louisiana, he made threats impossible to carry out. Louisiana would pay no Federal taxes. To get any returns from her citizens the Federal Government would have to send men into the State to collect them by force Further more, if Louisiana continued to be overriden by the central Government, she would resume her sov- ereignty" This was understood to imply that she would leave the Union. Thus have the Senator glorfyng his State as possible defaulter and seceder.
 Yet all this stuff was freedom of speech. It did not incite to sedton, nor advocate the overthrow of the Government by force. So it did not fall under the laws putting proper limits upon the right of public speech It was really good thing to permit such outburst from such source. Ordi- arily when we speak of freedom of speech as sacred we mean addresses that inspiring and uplifting But the doctrine is broad enough to cover things that are foolish and degrading. They too must be allowed utterance, if they are not sedtious In fact it is often good and whole some thing to tolerate rantng and demagogic mouthing They help to give the people accurate measure of the who parades such matter before the public. They almost invariably lead to his talking himself into political extinction. Upton Sin clair talked himself out of the Governorship of Cali
 fornia and apparently out of public life altogether Senator Longs tongue may yet do that work of self execution for him However that may be, his form of free speech is valuable, in way as that which is tinctured with reason instead Of merely with sound and fury If he wishes to make his fellow countrymen set him down a nuisance and a scandal by all means leave him at liberty to do so.
