FREE SPEECH STILL RULES

The German ambassador complain
ed a few days ago because the gentle
man who was recently United States
ambassador to Germany, spoke his
mind in an address in New York
about conditions in Germany. He
had to be reminded that the United
States constitution gives the Ameri-
can people liberty to express their
opinions freely.
The people of Europe and America
worked and fought 200 years to OBJ
tain the right of free speech. and in
our country they don't propose to
give il up. Some European coun-
ties have lost it, and consequently
their people have no means of learn
ing what is going on in their country
or elsewhere.
Our people know that through
free discussion, their grievances are
rcdressed. They like to talk, and
have moral and legal right to do so.
Any dictator who tries to abridge
that right should remember the old
time country school teacher who
found himself landed in a snow !
bank.

TRAINING FOR MARRIAGE

The chief of the Indiana bureau
of health complains that the young
people are not given the training
they need to make a success of mar
ried life. They have training to make
"a success of law. medicine, agricul-
ture, or modern plumbing, but they
get no such education for marriage.
Young people often get married
without more preparation than they
take for a weeks automobile trip.
Many of them regard marriage mere
ly as a super-picnic, all roses and
honey. When they find it means
hard toll and self-sacrifice it is some
thing that did not occur to them.
Somebody should have pointed out
the thorns on those roses before
they got scratched.
