FREEDOM WITH TOLERANCE

Back in the early history of this nation, before the revolution against the crown Of England established what we have to recognize American principles of equality there was such thing as freedom of speech and thought The English overlords of the American coonists to it that there was no nde- pendence of thought because that breeds an ndepen- dent and sef-reant people and the idea was to keep the coonists in subjection to the crown.
 But those forefathers had from England be- cause of persecution and they to stand only so much of it. The American Revolution was their answer After that victory for freedom and with the aim of perpetuating it. they decreed that freedom o1 speech press and thought should for ever be an Amer can privilege On that premise for more than l50 years we as nation have progressed to become one of the leading nations the world both in resources and enlightenment
 We are a free people. But every once in while some of us forget the principles which this nation was founded We look little askance when some one makes statement which is not in line with our own particular views Some of forget to the extent of challenging the right of a person to make his statement case in point is raised by the Cincinnati Enouirer when it comments follows on recent incident in that city
 Nobody has questioned the right of the American Legion to develop its own idea of Americanism and to campaign for its accep- tance by other groups and by the public. It

 American Legion Post to be criticized for the
 predominant views of it's membership. All
 that is needed is willingness to let every man
 think for himself and to speak in freedom
 if anybody wants to listen.
 The important thing is not converting Am
 ericans to one another theory of how to
 achieve peace The important thing is to preserve the most precious tradition we have in
 America-freedom of speech and thought.
 And it might be suggested that excellent way to preserve that precious tradition is for u to sit down and do little post graduate work in Amer

RAID ON GAMBLING
AT MARYLAND'S RESORT

Some activity against gambling at
Ocean City has been noticeable this
week. States Attorney johnson and
other local officials have been raiding
suspicious places and the latest arrests
up to this writing are in connection
with a roulette wheel said to have been
operated in the basement of a resort
hotel.
The men apprehended were Thomas
Schill and Charles White of Newark,
N. j., and Ferdinand Kirtz of Jersey
City. They were held in $1,000 bond
for action of the October Grand Jury.
Over four hundred dollars in cash was
seized, besides the roulette wheel.
This is move against gambling
of the somewhat larger type, but there
is abundant evidence that laws are
being violated in this county by de-
vices which seem to have engendered
contempt by their familiarity. The
public has gotten used to looking at
them, and the edge of their illegality
has become dulled-they are taken as
matter of course. Not so, however,
in some other ports of the state.
They are taboo in no uncertain way
in some places, and rightly so.

ON
SCHOOL GROUNDS
NOW PROGRESSING
Concrete Walks And Driveways
To Take Place Of Gravel
And Board

Patrons of the Pocomoke City high
school are grstified to see that some
very needed Improvement has been
started on the eampus.
These consist in the laying of con-
crete walks and driveways. The semi
circular drive, giving entrance and
exit to the building, will be hard-sur-
faced, and pavements laid on the side
and rear of the school house.
Heretofore, the approach to the
building has been a gravel driveway
on which the pupils had to walk much
to their discomfort. Around the
premises there were board walks,
which will now be displaced by con-
crete.
Indications point to some improve
ment of that section by the State
Roads Commission. The electric light
company has been spoken to relative
to the setting back of their poles with
view to the widening of the street
from the city limits to the bypass
Just when this will be done is not
very definite as to date, but it is fair
to presume that widening and hard
surfacing that section of road has
been decided upon.
This work has long been urged by
Pocomoke citizens. The road is Of
macadam construction, narrow, and
bordered by rough, uneven edges. AT
the cutoff the condition of this short
stretch makes a very uninviting ap-
proach to the city, specially SO since
the construction of the bypass. It is
easy to mistake the cutoff for the
main highway, and tourists are fire.
queRtly misled when the junction is
reached. The change will be hailed
with delight when it is made.

GREATEST TENNIS
TROPHY BROUGHT
BACK TO u. S. A.
Brings Back The Davis Cup Lost
To Europeans Ten Years
Ago, In 1927
BEAT THE ENGLISH BY
FOUR GAMES TO ONE

The most highly priced tennis trophy
the Davis Cup, donated by an Ameri-
can, Dwight L. Davis, has been on a
long visit to foreign countries-a visit
lasting for ten years--but is now about
to return to its native heath.
For a decade such brilliant WELD
ers of the racket as Tilden, Johnson,
Vines, Bulge, Lott, and others, have
many times blasted their ways to the
challenge round but seemed never
able to beat such men as Lacoste, Co.
Chef, Crawford, Cramm, Perry and 9th
ers; so the cup has been held by
French and British since 1927.
This year, a team of youngsters
turned the trick. Bulge, Parker,
Mako, all in their early 2Q's; and
Grant, not much older invaded the en-
emy's lines, and after mighty battles
came out victorious. The coveted prize
will now soon be on its way to this
country; and unless the CLEAN of pro-
fessional coin is too bright in the eyes
of the winners, the mug will stay here
for few years at least.
Three outstanding nations, Austral-
ian, German, and English were brush
ed aside to reach the goal, and the
brunt of the warfare was borne by
lanky Don Bulge, of California, who
has a string of victories of which he
may well be proud. frankie Parker,
also, came through with splendid vic
tory in his match with Hare, the Eng
ishman, Parker being substituted for
Grant after the latter's poor showing
against Germany. There will be great
rejoicing when the cup lands on Amer
lean shores.
There will be another valued cup
soon to be put up for competition. The
British seem never to have forgotten
their vigorous defeat 80 or more years
ago, when the America" schooner,
beat the best sailing craft of the Eng
fish in race which brought to this
land the famous old Americas Cup
bauble which has cost millions of
dollars to defend ever since.
In few days, there will be an
other attempt made to carry the cup
back to England and already the New
York Yacht Club is tuning up its rae
ing craft to beat the British. Much
of the success Of the Americans in
past vents has been due to superior
seamanship; but, trial after trial
should finally teach the challengers
something about American waters
and it would not be surprising to see
the cup depart for other shores some
of these fine days. But whoever wins
have to have a boat with some foot,
and a skipper who knows his tides
and winds.
