caught on right away.
Like music Miss Morlan's art is curiously devoid
of substance, but it has the stuff OF which dreams

Only four cards were left in

held small club, the seven of

OF lessening the danger is to give firm as
sistance to all movements designed to frus-
trate the attacks now being made on our

The American Civil Liberties Union has, there
fore, done smart thing in sending out to its mem
bers and friends list of the important Federal
measures which touch closely upon civil liberties
some are designed to curb liberties and others to
protect us in our constitutional rights.
First among those which threaten our liberties
are the proposed gag bills. The Kramer sedition
bill would punish the advocacy of the overthrow of
government by force and violence. Under it, most
OF the men who sat in our Federal Constitutional
Convention in 1887 would be liable to punishment
Then there is the Tydings-McDuf1e military
disaffection bill, modelled after the gag law that
England passed a couple Of years back. This would
punish severely anybody who, by word or publca-
ton, said anything which might possibly incite
soldier sailor to disobey orders. How serious this
might be is by the effect in England. There
a very important publishing firm refused to print
childrens Christmas book which recommended
peace on earth and good will among men. Senator
Tydings and Secretary of War Dern have withdrawn
their support from the bill.

to the fact that they have in mind the revenue
from movie advertising, which was naturally sug-

I noticed also that of the popular Sunday

At home we have the equivalent of the British

advertisements to promote the frauds.
The English popular press seems to have abso-

gets an enormous display and presumably yields
enormous revenues to the publisher.
