In some states the so-called
common man could not even
vote If he possessed no prop
erty.
But these men, common or
uncommon, stood for freedom.
They stood for an extent of
freedom that, as Chief Justice
Warren clearly implies, many
among us today reject.
Some unsavory characters
have invoked the Fifth AM
endment in order to avoid tes-
tifying before Congressional
committees. But where shall
the line of condemnation be
drawn? If it is wrong to re-
fuse to testify against ones
self is it also wrong to object
to unlawful search and seiz-
ure, to the taking of property
without due process Of law, to
the deprival of trial by jury,
to the infliction of cruel and
unusual punishments, to the
abridgment of the freedom of
the press, and of speech7
To ask such questions is to
answer them, even though they
may be somtimes put forth in
support of persons we don't
like and whose intentions we
do not believe to be good.
There can be no rights unless
all share them-the pleasant
and the unpleasant alike.
This nation has been going
through a sort of fever in
which fear Of a foreign tyran-
ny has made us fearful of do
nestle freedom. 1t is time we
came out Of 1t. It is time for
JUS to reaffirm our faith in
the whole Bill of Rights-the
Fifth Amendment included

fear. We shall be stronger
when we do so. We shall not
miss the weak, the cowardly
and the vicious who will fall

am an advocate of the
Open Mind. The mind which
realizes that TRUTH is eter-

not confined to this earth, to
this solar system, but perme-
ates all Creation. No man

Truth. 1t is not yet revealed,
but the Open Mind can receive
revelations by the keeping of
the mind open, observing, ex-

MeerSchaum was another
material used for making pipes
for it lent itself well to the de-

The earlier pipes were small
Ter IN size than the later mo-

fact that the tobacco raised at
that time was not cured as it
is today and it was much stron-

sufficed.
It's potency and nicotine was
high and it was considered
more a medicinal plant or
herb to be used as directed.
With the change of times and
the discoveries and improve

was much improved through
its growth and curing.
Plants were grated, soils
were enriched, more care was
given to It's storing and curing
which resulted in sweeter and
milder tobacco.
The stems Of pipes also
changed with the years, the
first pipes having long curved
stems while the later models
became much shorter.

as tobacco graters, boxes to

LET US REAFFIRM OUR RIGHTS

Chief Justice Warren raised
a startling question in a speech
in st. Louis on Saturday. He
said some Thoughtful persons
had begun to wonder whether
ratification of the Bill of
Rights could be obtained to-
day If we were faced squarely
with the issue" He thought it
could, but he was not "pre-
pared to dispute with those
who believe the issue would
provoke great controversy"
Some Of US, perhaps, do not
realize how deeply the prin-
ciples Of the first ten Amend
ments-Which make up the Bill
Of Rights-are embedded in our
own history of Britain. Hints
of them can be found in Mag
ma Carte, wrested from King
John more than seven .centur-
les ago. Some of the very
words are in the Bill of Rights
promulgated under william
and Mary more than two and
a half centuries ago.
They came out of hard ex-
perience in the relations Of
the Colonies, jointly and sew
orally, with the British Crown.
They came out of battle and

the fear that wealth, power
or inflated government might
take away the liberties men
had fought so hard to win.
