Are Differences Deadly?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

These warm evenings don't you
wish your neighbors would tune
their radios down so you could
listen to yours in comfort? And
when you think of the months
ahead during which voices in ev-
cry accent and meditation =
shrill, soft, or tin-panny will
proclaim to the listening multi
tudes the merits of their candi-
dates and the many sins of the
opposition, don't you look back
with nostalgia to the days when,
If you were interested, you went
to a political rally, but had quiet
at home?
And yet-think of the people
behind the Iron Curtain who have
to listen to the radio in secreti
Who can vote only for one party.
Who take their lives in their
hands if they express opposition.
The free expression of thought
is democracy. Free choice is what
is meant by the rule of the ma
jority.
Those who founded our repub-
lie knew by bitter experience that
unless they ensured free speech
the birth right of all Anglo-Sax-
on nations - they would stultify
this union of States. That unless
men were free to speak the truth
as they saw it, and to express
themselves without fear, there
could be no real progress.
Differences of opinion are not
deadly. The right to a prejudice
is an essential part of civil lib
erty. The danger against which
we have to guard comes when
freedom of speech becomes I'M
bridled speech, when it extends
beyond the bounds of justice.
No man has a right to vote his
prejudices. No man has a right
to vote agoinst. He must vote
for the things in which he be-
lieves. He must select his candi-
date upon the basis of what that
man can do-not on what some
opposing candidate has left I'M
done. He must search for truth
not vast his time digging out
lies.
Democracy is safe only so long
as we continue to seek the truth.
The basic falsity of Communistic
idealogy is that the Communists
try to square the facts to their
own theories or desires. They do
not seek the truth because it may
contradict what they wish to be-
lieve. They seek rather for the
lies or weaknesses in their oppo-
sition and play these up.
In these months that lie ahead,
let us not fall into their errors.
We are facing an election in which
the issues are vital to all of us.
We have an opportunity to prove
to the world that we can differ
in opinion, we can disagree as to
methods-but that patriotism is
not the possession of one party
or the other, but of both, and that
freedom of speech breeds fair
speech.
Speak fairly; seek the truth;
vote for and not against, and
don't forget to degister.

Willis Downs Angelo
On Olympia Fight Card

Leroy Willis, Michigan Light
weight champion. took a unani-

last Friday at Olympia in the
main bout of the evening.
In defeating Angelo Willis laid
further claim on a possible bout
with some OF the big time light
weights and eventually a shot
at Lightweight Champion Ike

There is, in spite of Willis
victory, some question as TO
whether or not Willis is ready
for the big time. There was
constant booing during the en-

wouldn't fight and his highly

the decision.
