BALTIMORE, Oct. 18.-Gov
McKeldin declared today that
smear tactics are threatening
human freedoms guaranteed shy

where increasingly only the hard

the Governor said In an address
prepared for the 84th annual con-
ventio1 ct the Maryland State
Teachers Association.
In Nation which justly prides
itself on its traditional federation
of dissent, and whose greatness,
indeed, derives from its solicitous
protection of the dissenter, con-
formity is being made the test of
loyalty.
"Hysteria Of the Time"
"And in the hysteria of the
time. even to question q mans
loyalty without adducing proof
goes a long way toward branding
him"
The Republican governor de-
nounced techniques Of smear.

900 Maryland teachers assembled
for a three-day convention J.
Prominent on the teachers
agenda was a proposed resolu-
ton demanding a state-financed
$500 raise In minimum school
salaries. McKelden vetoed a
$500 increase last spring.
The Governor made no refer
ence to that issue in his speech
tendency he called This New
Danger to Personal Freedom"
Nor did he name any perpetra-
tors. although he referred to a
victim q deplorable intolerance
which characterizes much of our
so-called public discussion"

A Senator taking issue with q
pending military measure may
be countered by a colleague who
declares. "You are not thinking
of the boys in Korea" McKeldin
observed.
This is the piece of abuse that
was hurled at a main who at
the age of so volunteered for the
Marine service and who bears on
his body the wounds of war;" he
said.

Eame-calling and mud-slinging
are bad enough. Gov. McKeldin
said. But he spoke also of "re-
voting instances of men being
publicly called Communists or
Fascists without proof and other
men not daring to speak In their
defense out Of fear that If they
do they, too. will suffer oppro-
brium."
"Duress by Name Calling"
Trainers Of the Constitution
built restraints around Govern
ment violation Of individual free
dom. the Governor said.
"Duress by name-calling is, If
anything, more irresponsible than
formal Official action" he added.
Whispered denunciations In
star chambers" where the accused
has no chance to reply have the
same effect as public abuse, he
went on.
The Governor said public schools
are in a position to thwart un-
democratic precepts from abroad
and these mo less corrosive inf1u-
ences in our domestic life"
This alarming totalitarian
tendency to inhibit free expression
can be halted if the people are
aroused to its inherent danger, 4"
he said. "It must be fought on

Unto a world filled with wild beasts
came a spirit of gentleness, said The
Stars lead editorial for December 25,
1928.
Into q society based upon con-
quests by power of might came an en-
thralling concept Of sway by the power
Of right.
Previously the world had known only
fear and the results of fear. but when
Jesus Christ presented His message it
knew something better.
1.-THE pyramids had been built for
centuries, but nowhere in their uprear-
ing was a sign Of kindness, of love be-
tween man and man, or man and God.
'Great cities had come and gone. but
their hanging gardens and tremendous
walls had been constructed by slaves
under the fear of the lash.
Here and there, in more favored
countries, human kindness had peeped
out. making strange little spots of hap
piness in the general appearance Of
cruelty.
There was, however. no general con-
ception of human kindness, one to an
other, man to man, God to man, until
Jesus of Nazareth taught the world
these things.
amid civilization Of outworn creeds,
He appeared to redeem humanity from
its animal heritages. Hitherto man
had displayed more OF the wolf than
of the man: he had found too great
q satisfaction in his animal lusts and
muscular usages.
"All this time there had been lurking

in the background longing for better
how man was made for something bet
ter than the rending and Staying of his
kind.
Childish innocence had pulled at his
heartstrings, but no one had been brave
enough to proclaim that love should
rule.
Mother love, the great feminine in
stinct. had placed it's benediction upon
mankind, but it had been accepted
apologetically.
"Jesus alone among men was brave
enough to stand firmly, without trace
of shame, for the great spirit Of love,
dimly foreseen by others, by Him pro-
claimed with ringing insiStence.
upon this, the anniversary of His
birth, it is well to lay aside all dis
putations, and to think only of what
He taught the world, for He taught it
much.
wherever little child shall laugh
today, there He reigns.
when men think today Of their
mothers, separated from them by space
or by that vaster space called eternity.
the gentleness of Jesus Christ brings
mist to their eyes.
wherever and whenever kindness
places gentle hand upon a fevered
brow, or harsh words are withheld. or
soft words turn away wrath. there shall
be found the spirit Of gentleness which
makes Christmas not merely day to
be celebrated but state OF mind and

heart to be cherished by the sons Of
men for all the days to come"
We rather like the above, because we
wrote it.
Perhaps nothing about it needs to be
changed for today.
It is still world filled with wild
beasts. both four-legged and two-legged.
Wars have been tried. with devastating
effect, but the devastation more and
more includes the victor.
The above was written not too long
after World War !, as evidenced by the
use of the phrases involving might"
and right" and World War II was only
an evil dream in the hearts Of certain
evil men.
The year 1928 was long time ago,
by certain standards.
The world has been at war, and mock
war almost ever since.
What does that do to the spirit Of
gentleness of which we so feverently
spoke?
Thank God, the passage of time has
done nothing to it, except to make the
necessity for love the more important.
It Is plain now that if we cannot
have love and law, we will have some
thing worse, something no better than
mankind had in the times covered by
the melancholy annals of Edward Glib
bon in his famous '"The History Of the
Decline and Fall Of the Roman Empire"
Love Of Christ is as powerful to heal
as 1t was In 1928, or centuries before.
The love He brought us. we still have
with us, to all the ends Of time.
Let us cherish it. today and all days.
