With almost additional expense to the tax
payers, twenty to forty children than are at
present enrolled could receive the excellent care
which State Orphanage is providing. There
than three hundred children in this institution
few years ago, and now there only hundred
and five. Placement of children in family homes a
audable practice accounts for the decline in popula
ton.
Actually the Orphanage has become a place where
neglected children and children from broken homes
being placed. Eighty of the one hundred and
five children at the orphanage have both parents lv-
ing Save for very few children, the institution is
not orphanage in the ordinary sense of the word
This brings face to face with an opportunity
to meet clear and present need. In some judicial
districts, children being committed to Montanas
institutions for the delinquent because the child
itself is delinquent but because the parental home or
the local school is inadequate. Many such children
would benefit greatly, if residence in the Orphanage
were made available to them. Whereas if sent to
institutions for the delinquent they create
crowding and they themselves suffer injury.
Two cottages one for girls and the other for boys,
stand idle at the Orphanage. They have been closed
because the enrolment has dropped less than
third of what it few years ago By fitting these
two cottages with beds and plumbing large enough to
meet the needs of children of the age and size now
being cared for by the orphanage, a home would be
provided for at least forty neglected non-delnquent
children.
A judge who is thoughtful hesitates to send child
to institution for delinquents, when that chid's
only fault is that he she will attend school, But
with good conscience that judge commit such a
child to the Orphanage, assured of its protection
against those temptations which imperil children not
kept in school.

Western News, Hamilton

Following World War l, when q
hysteria was passing over America
with state and federal sleuths wear
ing the soles from their shoes and
the seats from their britches hunting
down Wobblies, Socialists and others
who advocated a change in the ma
tional economy, governmental prac-
tees, or what not, voice was raised
against such hi-jinks. The late
FRANK l. COBB, then editor of the
lamented New York World, wrote :
"The act of putting the Their
mometer in Jail never kept the
temperature down"
How right was Mr.. Cobb; Suisse
that the American people-once their
feet are upon the ground and they
lucidly perceive the niger in the pro-
verbal woodpile-repudiated the tao
tics which Attorney General Mitchell
Palmer and his witch-hunters of yes
teryear committed in violence of the
US. Bill of Rights. And in the days
to come the American people will
certainly follow suit by repudiating
the tactics Of the so-called Un-Amer-
lean committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, led by such characters
as Martin Dies, Pranell Thomas, ct
al the bulk of the press of the ma
ton, such scurvy politicians as Sen
ator Mccarthy of Wisconsin, and
heir unsavory ilk, and if you please,
the majority of the U. S. Supreme
Court.
The "idea" that spanked the young
American Republic was the knowl-
edge in the hearts of men and women
that here in the New World, people
had right to criticize, had priv
lege born of citizenship to advocate
change in economy, in political forms,
in anything they wished.
Those who yesterday or today
or tomorrow deny people the right
to advocate, to petition, to criti-
cize, are flagrantly emasculating
the CONSTITUTIONS most precious
tenets.
Because the majority of us hold as
)dious the form of dictatorship which
he Communist nations embrace is

SPEAKING OF HEAT

more meritorious than our own form
of government. Perhaps some day
the majority of people might hole
to the belief that a Dixiecrat, Dem
ocrat, Socialist, or even a Republi.
can, had no right under our Consti.
tuition to advocate the viewpoints
which each espouses, although it is
difficult to comprehend how anyone
could discover what principles the
latter grouping do in fact embrace.
In such a contingency-if the con-
temporary course of action were to
be followed-the unlucky partisans
of this or that theology would be
hustled off to the bastile, deported,
and chased underground, just as to-
day the Communists in this country
are being treated.
There is no need to fear the
Communists in America as long
as they advocate a form of gov
eminent which the vast majority
of Americans reject. But when we
abrogate the rights of free citi-
zens, under the American Consti-
tuition, we are admitting a fear of
criticism which we should not en-
terrain.
Does anyone in this nation serious
ly fear a Communist revolution?
That is a joke. But it is not
joke to deny rights to citizens that
tomorrow may be denied to others,
and eventually perhaps to you and
me.
If the Socialists, the Dixiecrat
Democrats, the Fair Deal Democrats,
or even the Communists have any
ideas which the American people can
examine in the full light of publicity
and understanding and find good, it
would be we'll that we accept such
views and incorporate them within
our social and economic framework.
It is conceivable that another Re-
publican Lincoln might be born and
another set of Republican ideas be
BORN which could we'll be used by
he greatest nation in all of the |
world. But of course it is debat-
lble that such man would become |
! Republication if he did, that the
-that-be would allow him any
DOM in which to expound his thesis.
Let the channels of learning, of
criticism, of understanding, of
publicity in all of their ramifica-
tions be opened wide for all to use.
