FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Secretary Ickes and Senator Borah, as far apart as the
poles on many questions are in complete accord about one
thing, the right of free speech and free assemblage. The
other night Senator Borah appealed to the editors of the
country and two days later Secretary Ickes appealed to the
publishers to protect the right of free speech as jealously as
they protect the right of a free press. Freedom, Secretary
Ickes pointed out. is one and indivisible; “free economic en
terprise. free political institutions and the free speech of
which a free press is a part, are one and inseparable.” Tyr
anny cannot be allowed in any of these fields without jeo
pardizing freedom in all the others.
Mr. Ickes's special concern was for the right of free
speech and free assemblage. lie finds the right of a free
press on a firm footing in this country, but the right of free
assemblage and free speech is denied in many places. Lett
ing a soap-box orator shoot his mouth off, strikes terror in
the minds of many who would not think of curtailing the
freedom of the press. They forget that free speech, free
a-semblage and a free press are of equal importance, “the
three musketeers of our constitutional forces,” in Mr. Iskes’s
phrase, which must “fight shoulder to shoulder against every
threat of insidious foe.”
In this country we believe life would not be worth liv
ing without freedom. We would rather blunder and suffer
from our mistakes and be free than be errorless and efficient
to the “nth" degree without freedom. Still we have a hu
man perversity that makes us want to limit the freedom of
others—of people we think dumb or crack-brained or sub
versive. Bias and prejudice are often given full rein be
cause. while we have freedom and cherish it, we do not have
enough faith in it. or in ourselves, to let others exercise it.
So we need to have men like Mr. Ickes remind us that
if we are to preserve freedom in any of its forms we must
be freedom-minded and grant to others the freedom we ask
for ourselves.—Exchange.
Our local business concerns have a constant capacity to
understand your wants and always endeavor to be honest,
fair and courteous to all. You should trade with them. On
tlae other hand, business concerns should trade with other
concerns locally instead of sending outside for things which
helps to keep other industries going in the community.
About half the fun one gets on a vacation is reading the
home town paper. Be sure to have yours sent to you where
ever you may be.

Nature seems determined to make us work. The less
hair we have to comb, the more face we have to wash.
There are so many laws these days that even a profes
sional law-breaker occasionally, by accident obeys one.
A smile is an asset—a frown a liability.
