Morgan county was rather slow
in securing settlers. After the
treaty made at Marietta, this valley
never suffered from Indian depre'
dations as did the western and
northwestern parts. In fact after
1875 we have no record of any
trouble except now and then by
some transient Indian, and then u.s.
ually only to steal a horse or two.
or other property that might appeal
to the cupidity of the Indian. There
was no particular center of settle
ment. Windsor township, being the
furthest down the river and the first
to be reached by anyone coming ur
the river. and having some very
fine wide bottom land, was the first
to be really settled of our present
townships. Wolf Creek was mex
in the number of settlers. Accord
ing to the census of 1920 the pop
ulation of the county was 5,297
nearly all of whom had some from
Virginia. Maryland and Pennsyl
varia and the New England states.
Tie population Of the county has
maintained its pure American stock
down to the present day; with tht
exception of a very few colored ser
wants brought from the southern
states and of some of foreign BLOOD
who worked in the mines in the
western edge of the county wheI
mining was an industry there.

COURT REJECTS
PLEA OF RIGHT
TO FREE SPEECH
Jersey Clio Strikers Are
Enjoined

TOMS RIVER, N. j., July IA
GN.SD. - Under a precedent-set-
ting court decision holding that
free speech is not an inalienable
right in New Jersey, the CIO Fur
niture Workers Union today was
barred from distributing circulars
in Newark.
Vice Chancellor Maja Berry'S
ruling was an answer to the
unions argument that its rights
would be curbed if it were en-
Joined from handing out the cir.
culars in the vicinity of stores Of
customers of the Metropolitan
Upholstery Company.
"QUALIFIED RIGHT"
Describing free speech as a
qualified right" the vice chan
cellor ruled:
Qualified rights or privileges
are those created and granted
by the (State) constitution.
They did not precede the Gov
ernment and they are not in
alienable, but subject to for
feiture.
Among these qualified con-
stitutional rights, which are
more in the nature of privileges
than rights in the strict sense
of the word, is the so-called
right of free speech, privilege
often confused with absolute
rights.
LIMITED BY CONSTITUTION
This privilege is limited and
qualified by the very language
of the Constitution itself:
Every person may freely
speak, write and publish his
sentiments on all subjects, being
responsible for the abuse of that
right"

WHEAT GRANARY.
PLAN IN LONDON
Proposal to Be Made
At World Farley

GN.S.) The United States
will sponsor an international ever
normal granary plan for wheat at
the World Wheat Conference,
which opened in London today.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace said the plan, which provides
for the storage of wheat in years
of plenty to be drawn against in
years of scarcity, will be presented
the conference by Ambassador
Joseph P. Kennedy and DR.. A. G..
Black, head of the Agriculture
Department Bureau of Economics.
The United States would
like to stay in the world wheat
market on the basis of coopera-
ton with other nations so the
United States will have its fair
share of the market" Wallace
said.
MANY INTERESTED
Many nations are interested
In following the ever-normal
granary plan that we have
adopted. For this reason, we
are directing our efforts toward
an international ever-normal
granary plan"
The plan calls for quotas of
wheat production in every wheat
producing nation; a figure repre-
Senting normal domestic consump-
tion and export with but a small
carry-oVer to serve as a bulWark
in lean crop years. No figures were
revealed.
American wheat exports, Wal
lace said, totaled only 100000, 900
bushels for the fiscal year ended
June 80. On the basis of the July
crop reports, which indicated a
1888 crop of about 1,024,000, 900
bushels, some 250,000,000 bushels
are now available for export. Al
total of 2oO,00O,OO0 bushels is the
estimated export Of the American
eVer-normal granary plan.
PLAN FOR LOANS
Wallace said wheat loan rates
might depend on an international
ever-normal granary plan. The
loans are expected to be an.
nounced within the next "a hours.
THE American wheat loan
plan is a feature of the United
States being able to furnish the
market with fair share of de-
mand," he said. "At the low
rate $50 per cent of parity)
there would be more wheat flow
ing into the world market than
at the higher rate (75 per
cent?"
The American wheat insurance
plan was suggested by Wallace as
an alternative if the world wheat
nations refuse to accept an inter
national ever-normal granary plan.
