For 80 years and more the Amerl-

think of freedom of speech in terms
Of a radical on a soap-boX being
allowed to speak his piece without

Such infringements as we have
allowed of our cherished principle
of the freedom to speak and publish
have in nine cases out of ten been
made where radicaliSm was con-
cerned. And in such cases, the de-
tenders of freedom of speech have
often themselves been accused OF
radicalism.
Most frequently accused, perhaps,
has been the American Civil Liber-

What Other
Editors Say
Incredible But True

When the Santa Monica city
council was asked to enact an ordi-
nance which would, in effect, have
prevented any citizen from making
repairs on his own home, the idea
was regarded as a joke.
No one could believe that any
labor union seriously could enter
tain the idea of interfering with
the right of a man TO do as he
will with his own property.
Yet recent experience in Cleve-
land indicates that labor, at least
in some instances, proposes to dc
exactly that.
Varish has been spattered over
newly painted houses almost daily
for months, and now it develops
that the painters union of Cleve-
land has been issuing permits" to
property owners who could show
to the satisfaction of the union
that they could not afford TO EN-.
ploy union painters.
There permits" have been assur-
ance against sabotage.
Thus does the United States
approach a labor dictatorship. 1t
would appear that the right of a
man to paint his own house, wash
his own car, tinker with the plumb
ing at his residence, or adjust his
own carburetor is inalienable.
His financial ability TO employ
a union laborer to do the work is
wholly irrelevant.
The mere fact that he wants to
do the work is enough, and his
reasons are no business Of any union
or of anyone else.
If such actions are mere stupid
ity, and If they are continued, the
labor union movement sooner or
later will be doomed.
II the unions actually are so pow
erful that they can pursue such
tactics with impunity, American
ideals Of personal liberty are DOOM

the magic of railroad communication.
Shrewd, daring Jim" Hill thrust his
rails through Minnesota, across the Dako-
tas, pushed them beyond into Montana
and Idaho, and eventually to the coast.
He fought and bought out competitors,
controlled and merged banks, to forge
his once mighty kingdom of roads.
The days Of railroad monopolies are
now gone. So too, are the frontier days
which could produce trail-bazing titan

iron hand. Instead we find railroads to-

contributing indispensably to public well
