The Issue Of Free Men
In our country one dominant

b In our country one dominant
issue overshadows all others.
That is, the freedom Of men.
And that today includes our
relations to the rest of the
world.
At each Of those four-year
intervals I have pointed out the
inch-by-inch destruction Of the
ramparts Of free men in the
United States.
This issue far transcends in
Importance the transitory ques-
tions Of national life. It is a
matter Of life itself.
Throughout the centuries of
history, freedom has been the
constant quest of men. For this
the best and bravest on earth
have fought and died.
The tablets of free men, lost
In the dark ages, were again
handed down to the American
people. Those tablets bore not
only the words Of the Declara-
ton Of Independence and the
Constitution but they expressed
the very spirit of free men.
Do you believe the words have
been distorted and their spirit
violated?

Let Us Look
At the Record

The genius of our founding
fathers which preserved this re-
public longer than any repub-
lie in history was the concept
of the limitation of powers
within our Government. One
of their strong purposes was to
protect free men by restriction
of presidential power.
For 20 years we have seen
constant attrition of those con-
stitutional safeguards of free
men.
do not need recall to you
the rubber-stamp Congress-; the
packed Supreme Court: war
without approval of Congress
and a score of dire secret in
ternational commitments with
out consent Of the Senate.
And now comes, after ITO.
years, q new discovery in presi-
Dental power. That is an "in-
herent" power to seize anything,
any time. ALI Republican Presi-7
dents were densely ignorant Of
those inherent powers.
Over these 20 years we have
seen pressure groups fostered
and appeased by Presidents un-
til they intimidate and para
lyze the life of the Nation. No
man has been elected by the
people to have such powers. If
freedom is to live. we can no
more have economic tyranny
than we can have political
tyranny. Representative gov
ernment has been maintained
to the mastery Of its own house.
Our social order does not rest
upon constitutional safeguards
alone. This republic was found
ed on a pledge of sacred honor.
Yet we have writhed under
shocking disclosures of intellec-
tual dishonesty and unpunished
corruption in high places
greater in aggregate than all
such sins in our history put to-
gether.
The grandeur of a people
comes from their moral and
spiritual character. Today that
grandeur is corroded by this in
tellectual dishonesty and cor
ruption among public officials.
The drip, drip, drip from dis
honor in high places plays a
part in the increasing Of crime
among the people.
These acts do not make for
free men.

This Election

This election may well be the
last chance for the survival Of
freedom in America.
In q time of confusion and
crisis the action of q Republic
can convention 80 years ago
saved this Nation for free men.
The Whig Party temporized,
compromised upon the issue of
freedom for the Negro. That
party disappeared. It deserved
to disappear. Shall the Repub-
lican Party receive or deserve
any better fate If it compro-
misses upon the issue Of freedom
for all men, white as well as
black? z.
If you make free men your
issue. you again revive the call
which your and my ancestors
issued 90 years ago when this

Other Tasks. Before Us

The Republican party must
not blink at. the other many
difficulties Of the times and the
other tasks before us. Our
party welcomes change IN the
social and economic order when
it will produce a more fair, a
more free and more satisfying
civilization. But change which
destroys the safeguards of free
men and women win be only
an apple Of sodom. Again I
may say / have great sympathy
for those who honestly seek for
short cuts to solve our complex
problems. But the structure Of
betterment can only be. built
brick by brick by men, and
women free in spirit and mind.
The bricks must come from the
mold of religious faith, Of
justice. Of integrity. of fidelity
to the spirit Of the Constitution.
i Any other mold is distorted;
any other bricks are without
straw.

A rather awkward animal, bul
good enough at fighting, Is the
crayfsh. It looks q great deal like
"a small lobster.
Crayfish (also called crawfsh)
live in fresh water. That Is one OF
the ways in which they differ from
Holsters, which dwell at the edges
of the ocean.
most crayfish are from , to 9
inches long when full-grown. That
is without counting the two long
|feelers which grow out Of the
head Of each one. These feelers
sometimes are as long as the body.
They are used when the animal ex-
plores the mud and other things
around 1t.
There are two ways of getting
about In the crayfish world. One
way is by walking, the other by
swimming.
Each crayfsh has 10 legs. six
|of these are armed with double
claws or nippers. The last two
pairs Of legs are tipped with sim

The front legs have big claws.
and these are used for nghfing.

cut the enemy.
Brooks, rivers and ponds are the
chief places in which crayfish live.
Often they dig holes In the banks,
and stay inside them. While in
such a hole, q crayflsf is likely to
face the opening, ready to fight any
intruder.
Crayfisn eat tiny fish. also snails
and water insects. Sometimes they
feed on dead fish which are washed
ashore.
The crayfish is clumsy when it
walks with the help Of its many
legs, but it can swim smoothly.
On the under side Of the body are
little paddles known as swimmer
cts. "A male has 10 OF these pad
dies, and 8 female has eight.

Mr.. Muzzy then made a sensa-
tional statement, "I don't play the
reverse" he said. haughtily.
The word reverse" has caused
more confusion among bridge play
ers than the double squeeze. It
simply means bidding two suits out
Of their natural" order.
Bid Hearts First.
In today's deal Mr.. Muzzy bid
hearts first and spades on his next
turn. This constituted reverse bid
ding as that term is used today
But the name which has been as
signed to this sequence has moth
ing to do with it. You could call
it anything. The point is that when
Mr.. Muzzy bid as he did he indi-
Gated big hand.
He had offered his partner two
suits. If spades suited Mr.. Abel
and he had fairly weak hand, he
could pass. But suppose he pre-
ferred hearts? Then he would have
to bid three hearts over Mr.. Muzzy's
two-spade bid just to show a sim
pie preference. Nine tricks! That
might be too many.
Mr.. Champion came to Mr.. Abel's
defense in this discussion. When
he heard Mr.. MuzZy say he didn't
play the reverse, he couldn't keep
quiet any longer.
Considered Wrong.
''Muzzy," he said. your statement
Is the same as saying you don't use
opening bids. When you choose to
open your hand with. one heart
which, incidentally, I consider the
wrong opening, you can't afford the
luxury Of bidding spades on the
second round. All you can do is
to rebid two hearts. The way you
handled 1t, you are guaranteeing the
safety Of three-heart contract if
Abel shows a simple preference for
that suit"
Mr.. Champion was right again.
With a bare opening. Mr.. Muzzy
should have started with one spade
and bid two hearts over his part
ner'S two-club call. This would
have given Mr.. Abel the opportunity
to choose between the majors at
the two-range. Actually he would
have bid two spades over two hearts
and that would have been the final
contract.
