Keep Guard OF
Free Speech

With Fascist, Nazi and other forms
of dictatorship sweeping many sec
tons of the world, it behooves all
the people in democratic countries
to guard intensively their free speech
and discussion rights, for only
through free thinking and free speech
can a true democratic form of gov
eminent be maintained. Outward ap-
pearances would have the outside
world believe that relationships allow
free thought, but that situation will
not stand close scrutiny.
Freedom of thought and speech can
be taken away almost over night
and we have those in this country
who would do that and they are not
all in the upper circles. At first
thought we might think that free
discussion of wildcat programs will
contaminate those who hear or read
them but they will only be accepted
in parts which have good sound basis
of thought behind them.
If person comes forth with a
plan to dig short cut through the
earth to save the thousands of miles
in travel needed to go around, every
one who is informed will scott at
him and rightfully for science has
taught us that the project would be
fraught with too many obstacles and
the cost would be too great to war
rant it. However, that persons priv
ilege of presenting the proposal is
laudable and his offering it has done
no harm. If one is not interested,
he just isn't interested and that's
all there is to it.
On the other hand he may have
had project that would have been
feasible and he may yet have one
that will attract attention. Further
more his proposal, by free discus
sion, may bring out some other
worthwhile project that would not
have been brought out but for free
speech.
Some person may have a political
or economic thought which is diff
ferent, but that should not be silenced
without first permitting public scru-
tiny as to its possibilities. If it hasn't
sufficient good qualities it will not
stand the test, that's all. We must
never forget that in a democracy
the majority rules. And when the
majority rules, then the minority will
have to abide by the decision even
though it be disappointing. The mi
nority must remember that it will
have another opportunity to come
back with its program, where if CEN
sored speech were permitted then the
majority who happened to win once
would always be in power.
In Jersey City right here in our
own United States there exists form
of mayorality rule which is jeopardiz-
ing free speech and thought; speakers
believing differently than the mayor
have been escorted from the city when
they sought to express themselves
contrary to dictated ordinance That
certainly is not good situation to
allow to grow.
Free speech and free discussion
should be maintained and then we are
sure of true democracy.

lem. He will either 60 on to college
or he will Immediately 60 into the

which face him as did our pioneering
forefathers the problems which faced
them.
True enough there seem to be no
more frontiers to conquer, but there
is the economic frontier and only
the coming generation will learn how
great task that is. This generation
has apparently failed in providing
abundance in a land of plenty.

The editor of a Minnesota news
paper whose recent letter of resigna-
ton to his board of directors was de-
clined with glowing phrases as to his
ability reminds me of the bright boy
who had a job in a drug store and
on his afternoon off phoned the pro-
prietor and asked him if he needed
boy. When told that the store
had boy and that he was indispens-
able, he hung up and remarked to his
mother that he was just checking up
on his standing with the boss.

Some fellows are whirlwinds at
learning. We have Minnesota Con-
gresham, it is reported, who has
taken up the study of foreign policy
in the Russian Embassy in Wash

everything there is to learn about
Congressing and now will broaden
his education. Well, holy smokes,
he sure picked a good teacher.

Before l left a friend offered his
sourcastic advice as to the various
golf courses in the Twin Cities, and
then finally asked, what else is it
you are going there for?" On first
thought that was an insult but on
second thought maybe he meant that
1 did not need more learning, but
rather could take the time off to
play golf. Well, we all should play
golf or other forms of entertainment
at intervals with our work, but play
ing should not take the place of work.
