FREEDOM

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June 81
O.N.S0.-America is facing the
problem Of preserving her Demo
cratic institutions and individual
freedom, Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes of the United
States Supreme Court declared
today.
Speaking at the meeting of
Brown University alumni, after
the 169th commencement exer.
cises, as a member Of the class
Of 1881. he said:
"We still proclaim the old
ideals Of liberty but we cannot
voice them without anxiety In
our hearts.
The question Is no longer
one Of establishing Demo
cratic institutions but of pre-
serving them. The question Is
no longer one of triumphing
over sectional discOrds and
unifying the nation, but
whether q united people, put
ting forth its great strength
for national ends, will leave
appropriate scope for individual
freedom.
"The question is not one
Of the adequate power Of
government, designed to keep
clear the highways Of honest
endeavOr, but how that power
shall be used"
After Sketching the early
history of Brown and paying
tribute to its new president. DR..
Henry M. Wriston. whom he
termed "the prophet Of q new
day" Hughes warned that "our
first duty is to preserve these
freedoms learning, Of speech,
of press, of assembly, of con.
science, and to be alert to
detect the slightest attempt to
impair them.
Justice Hughes continued:
'But our confidence will
prove ilIusOry, If those who are
foremost In the enjoyment Of
these privileges are not keenly
conscious Of their response
bility. Dishonesty in the
purveyOrs of opinion Is the
worst Of civic vices.
81 find my mail full Of the
proposals of disOrdered minds
who think that they have dis
covered panaceas. But their
fancies are dissipated in the
free air. The arch enemies Of
society are those who know
better, but by indirectiOn, mis-
statement, misunderstanding
and Islander, seek to accom-
pIish their concealed purposes
or to gain profit Of some sort
by misleading the public.
"The antidOte for these
poisOns must be found In the
sincere and courageous efforts
of those who would preserve
their cherished freedom by q
wise and responsible use Of 1t.
Freedom in expression gives
the essential democratic OppOr-
tunity, but self restraint Is
the essential civic discipline"
Chief Justice Hughes witnessed
DR.. Wriston confer an honorary
degree Of doctor of laws upon
his son, Charles Evans Hughes,
jr., and a degree in course to
his grandson, Charles Evans
Hughes, third.
