THERE is rising in Washing
ton a magnificent memorial
to the great American president
philosopher, Thomas Jefferson,
a man who as a ruler and as
political thinker is unique in all
history.
1t may be recalled by some
Americans that this Thomas JEFF
ferson was the founder of the
Democratic Party, a man who
said:
THE least government is the
best government" and II am for
a government vigorously frugal
and nipple, applying all the
possible savings of the public
revenue to the discharge of the
national debt, and not for null
tiplication of officers and sal
aries merely TO make partisans."
How is it possible for any
Democrat of national standing
today to keep a straight face
when the time C % m e S for the
dedication Of the memorial?
THE Democratic Party today
i is not the party of jefferson.
The Democratic Party today
is not the party of Andrew
Jackson.
The Democratic Party today
is not the party of Samuel j.
Tilden or Grover Cleveland or OF
any of the former leaders of
that great party.
The so-called De m ocratic
Party of today has abandoned
every tradition of its past, every
principle on which it was
founded and has violated almost
every prediction guarantee 1t
has given.
The Democratic Party as
founded by jefferson and built
up by Jackson. Tild en- and
Cleveland was a party that stood
for individual libertyAto almost
extreme limits, rigid cohstitu-
tional construction, special priv
ileges TO none, taxation for
necessary revenue only, a hands
off policy of the government in
regard TO private business,
states rights, decentralization,
the elimination OF red tape and
parasitic bureaus and war on all
forms of socialistic and COM
munistic experiments.
Y'HE party in power today in
Il Washington. although mas
querading under the name of the
Democratic Party, bears no more
resemblance TO the party of
Jefferson, jackson. Tilden and
Cleveland than the Soviet con-
stitution resembles the American
Constitution.
The ironic eye of Thomas JEFF
ferson when he listens to the
blah that will be poured out at
the dedication of his memorial
building will look down on a
Democratic Party in power that
bears the stigma Of the old
world tyrannieS that Jefferson
and the men of '76 fought TO get
rid Of
Jefferson will see Demo
cratic Party in power that is
sociaiistic.

Gene Walter did not remain
long in Denver and left no great
reportorial reputation behind
him, though he was what you
might call adequate, and t lie
next we heard of him he had
knocked Broadway kicking with
Paid in Full" A couple of
years late he practically set the
street afire with THE Easiest
Way" part of which was laid
in Colorado.
Naturally, we were around
claiming a more intimate friend
ship with him than the facts in
the case warranted. All we
could really remember about
him was his tenacity in argu-
ment.
WE ALWAYS liked the story
W that the night before Paid
in Full" opened TO a smashing
run Gene had slept on a park
bench in Bryant Park. an apoc-
ryphal tale that Gene did not
mind nursing along.
He would have slept on a park
bench, all right, had there been
no other place in the world TO
sleep, but there used to be a
nice, big. bright, comfortable
ginmill across the street from
Bryant Park in those days, and
you can bet Gene would not
have passed up a chair there for
kip on a park divan.
IN fact, he implied as much
when we met him again in New
York and asked him about the
story Of the bench.
IT IS curious that the man who
Il gave the American theater
the first great facts-of- life plays
had no more than couple of
good ones in him.
of his early performances you
would have thought he would go
on knocking out fine stuff the
rest OF his days. But though
Gene wrote quite a number of
plays after paid in Full" and
The Easiest Way" he seemed to
have little more TO say 10 hold
the attention Of the theater pub
lie.
He was 80 years old when he
hung up his first success and "a
when he rang the bell the second
time. and then what had APP
peared TO be one of the greatest
theater talents in history appar-
emily fizzled out.
Still. Gene did more toward
revolutionizing American theater
fare in his brief career than all
the men who had preceded him.
and perhaps for that his memory
should ever be kept green.

THE first act of censorship by dictators is the
suppression of freedom of speech
Then freedom of publication is destroyed.
Then freedom of assembly.
Then freedom of thought.
We advancing rapidly toward all suppression
We advancing rapidly toward suppression of all
of these rights which peculiarly American and for
the preservation which hundreds of thousands of
Americans have died
JUST how far this country under the New Deal is on
the road commuascsm is revealed by the fact that
the suppressed address of Attorney General Barrett
pleaded for American freedom and against coectvst
bureaucracy. His main points
I've should have a government based balanced
powers.
0-The way to travel lies with the people them
q selves.
DAT present America is travelling the road

A-The new order in America is reactionary and
tyrannical in form and substance nazism fascism
and communism.
c-The duty of the attorneys general of the United
States is to plead the cause of the people and to
defend the American way
c-Concentrated authority is the "road to

7-Beware of Capitalization for emergency ends"
Q-Amerca alone has given to its people that freedom

Mo ADEQUATE reason was given for the suppression
of this address, which Attorney General Barrett of
refused to make in secret if he member

This transgression of his rights American
opened the eyes of the attorney general of Illinois
viii open the eyes of every reader of these words.
1t means:
You cannot any longer talk fundamental American
principles
1t is called politics.
1t may even soon be called treason"
THE suppression of Mr.. Barrett's address proved
precisely what he charged in that very address, TO
wit:
THAT elements of the New Deal administration are
following exactly the same road that was followed by
those people toing under the yoke of nazism,
fascism and communism. That road leads to dictatorship
and tyranny"
All the significant is the fact that Mr.. Barrets
speech prepared many days in advance Of its
delivery and WAS APPROVED BY THE NATIONAL
BROADCASTING COMPANY.
A TTORNEY GENERAL BARRETT says he will not
~ fight communism and nazism behind closed doors "
There should be no closed doors" in the United
States.
There must not be suppression of any kind in regard
to speech the press or the right of assembly.
Attorney General Barrett resigned from the National
Association Of Attorneys General because he pro-
hibited from delivering message Of warning to the
American people.
That is the most sinister fact yet recorded in the
history of the new order" in America

Gene Waller
But Runyon Remembers
Their Argument Best
BY DAMON RUNYON

EUGENE WALTER, the play
"a wright. who died the other
day in Hollywood, was doing
railroads" i'm Denver when we
first met him.
In those days the offices Of
the city passenger agents of the
railroads were nearly all To-
Gated on Sixteenth street and
were prolific sources OF news.
mainly concerning the comings
and goings of the townspeople
and outside celebrities.
You got that sort of news in
the railroad offices because the
city passengers agents knew
who bought tickets outward
bound and were usually in
formed on travellers of note
coming in. Sometimes they had
tidings of greater moment
Anyway, the offices were
deemed important enough for
every newspaper in the town to
cover daily. We met Gene in
one of those offices.
LIE HAD only recently come
IL to Denver from san Fran
cisco with stopover in Salt
Lake City, as we remember,
and had gone to work for Bill
Bradley on the Denver Repub-
liean, long since defunct.
Gene said he was moving
eastward by easy stages, mean
ing as rapidly as he accumulated
money from one jump to the
next. He seemed slightly dis
contented with doing railroads.
We might not have remem-
bered him at all from that first
meeting had we not asked him
about newspaperman who had
gone from Denver to San Fran
cisco to achieve some little
reputation, and Gene dismissed
him with a light appraisal of
his ability.
We said he could not decry a
success. Gene said you could.
1t became a historic argu-
ment, moving from the railroad
office to the Albany bar, then
up TO the Navarro.
TT WAS fortunate that the
L argument developed on a pay
day--else it might have ended
shortly for lack of gas-but as
il was, il did not abate until the
early hours of the following
morning in Gahan's fueling sta
ton on Larimer street.
BY that time Gene had sum-
moned Frank Farrar and sew
eral other members from the
staff of the Republican to his
support, and all we could muster
was Gene ,Bowles, who was UNI
able to make out what we were
arguing about.

Toward US. Dictatorship
tIHCH May America ."

w AL Americans may well ask that question
after reading the astounding revelations by Attorney
General Barrett of Illinois Of the suppression of his
address entitled THE Future OF Our States and Cities in
Our Governmental Structure
This address had been scheduled in indianapolis
before the National Association of Attorneys Generals
over national hookup.
Mr.. Barrett's patriotic and timely theme was
"Are we going to follow the road which our founding
fathers followed to freedom and to the establishment of
the greatest nation in all history, are we going to
follow the road which other people have followed to
dictatorship
At the last moment Attorney General Barrett was
informed by Warren president of the association,
that Mr. Barrett would have give the address behind
closed doors and that he would allow to be broad
cast nationally"
This sounds like something that may have happened
