I remember nceing him on the Saturday before llastrr nnd being struck with the change in liii ap pearance wrought by Ills illness. lie vent AVcst Tor the government last year, you Know, and contracted some disease out there vvhkli caused the trouble, and yet on Tues day he died from n sudden attack of pneu monia n very few hours after lie was taken ill, Doctor Heath was one of the best-liked men in town, and before his illneits was in most splepdid health. He married Miss Flor ence I'ancoast about sixteen years ago. She is n sister of Mrs. .foe Widcner, you know. They bad two children, Alberta I'ancoast Heath nnd Joseph I'ancoast Kcatb, who is n pupil of St. Paul's School in Concord. The Heaths spent several jcais abroad, sending the children to school in Switzerland before the war broke out. The greatest sympathy is felt for Mrs. Reath, for they were a most congenial nnd devoted couple. Doctor Reath was nn unelc of "Hobble" Heath, one of the "Fighting Five" bojs fiom here who joined the marines enrly in the war. He vns killed at Chateau-Thierry in the early summer.

Speaking f nimmago sales, I heard something awfully funny nbout one the other day. Some one that jou probably know met home one else that ou piobnbly know with a strange-looking bundle. She had just been fixing up n store for n liimmage sale, and although she didn't explain, it looked very much as if she had bought a few things thnt appealed to her befoie the crowd got a shot at them. And the first some one. gazing i uriously nt the bundle, recognized with great glee n well-known pair of white buckskin pumps thnt she had sent to be sold at the junimagc, "becnuse inn. be some of those people will think they're good enough to wear, and thcy'ic undoubtedly too good to throw nway, but 1 can't wear those heels nny longer." Now majbe the second some one was tak ing thcin home to be cleaned so that they would sell better; but as they renlly were in perfectly good condition, wouldn't it be u wrcam if Jliose pumps, that used to be hos tesses at the first some one's house should come there as guests some rare June day?

WDXL, my dears, I went to the women writers' meeting last night, nnd believe me the circus at Nineteenth and Hunti.ig Park avenue bad nothing on thnt ciicus last night. The performance started at 8:lf sharp, and tho pnrade through two small rooms was headed by the most fearful band it lins ever been my happiness or unhappincss, as you wish, to bear. They plnjrd on combs, on pans, on whistles, books and drums. And nothing was loo exalted for them; even u ISiicIi fugue was not too high -flown for them to try (I say try ndvisedly, for I assure you their hearers were well tried). Then thei ciicus stnttcd. The ring leader n chanced with cracking whip and gave the history of each nuimnl and freak in the Miow. To be sure, bin- spoiled things now and again by laughing nt her own leinarks, but one cannot evpect perfection. There weie nine ultogelher, including a cootie hound and a wafTeu pooglc, which last fear ful nnd wouderful animal almost escaped from its Kceptr and caused fearful disorder nmong the spectators, who were munching peanuts and drinking lemonade back of the sidelines. Resides these two frcnkisli animals there was a monkey with the most remarkable face, a teddy bear, an extraordinary tat Meariug a Iluster Rrown costume, u giraffe with a ,ery sore throat, a bearded lady, vhoso story was ouoNof the saddest told; n tattooed lady, whose nose eveu was adorned Mlth n copy of Pershiug's noble face mid Upon whoso left shoulder bmitcd tho noble countenance of the founder of tho league of nations.

A'ou mo absolutely nnd ineontroveitnblv light in denouncing the attempt to louveil ci lines into peditical offenses. The people of Pennsylvania when thev ordained and established their government refused to sin lender to tho power of thnt government certain lights. That there might ho no dispute or question between tho people and their government concerning those lights thev were defined nnd set foilh in the veiv tu-st m title of the constitution under tho title decimation of rights. And after enumerating these lights the people said: "To gunrd against traiisgicssions of the high powers which wo hnvo delegated, we declnre that everything in this niliclo is excepted out of the general powers of gov ernment and shall remain forever inviolate." Theio arc tberefoio certain lights which the people possess independent nf the govern ment nnd over which the government hns no control whatever. One of these lights hns to do with tho government itself. The second section of the declaration of lights nsseits: "All power is inherent in the people, and all fiee governments are founded on then nuthnritv and instituted for their peace, snfet.v and happiness For the advancement of these ends thev liavosnt all limes: an inalienable nnd indefeasible rif.ht to alter, lcform or abolish their government in stub manner ns they think proper." AVhile that section stands in the charter of the people's libeities the government of Pcnnsvlynnia has no power to pass a sedition law It iH not. thetefoie. for the Legislature, the Governor, nor the mints, nor for all tn getber. to tell the people how they shall "alter, refoim or abolish thnr government " That light and that power is inlieiont in the people nnd thev can exeieise it "in sut h manner ns thev think propel " Knowing their lights ami knowing Hint tho.v can oulv bo maintained against govern moiit bv perfect Itbeitv of speech nud of the piess, the people safeguarded those inosti ninblo lights in the seventh section nf tho decimation of lights by declining: llio printing pi ess shall bo free to ovciv poison who nuclei takes to examine the pioooodings of the Legislaliiio, or an branch nf govern ment, ami no law shall ever bo made to le stiaiu the tight thereof." Thus government is forbidden to place any restraint whatever upon the press in its examination of the affairs ot government. Section seven further declares: "The free communication of thoughts nnd opiuious is one nf tho invaluable lights of man, nud every eitiicu may fully speak, write and print on any subject, being lespnnsiblc for the iibtiso of that liberty." AVhnt is nn abuse of that liberty' Is it the abuse to bring the government into con tempt if the thing spoken, written, or piiuted about the public officials bo true? Not lit nil For ho seventh section still further dot laics: "N'o conviction shall ever bo had in anv prosecution for the publication of papers iclnting to the official conduct of officeih or men in public capacity, or to nn other matter proper for public investiga tion or information when the fact that such piiblitatinn was not malicioiislv or negligently made is established to the satisfaction of the jmv; and in all indictments for libel the juiv shall have tho right to determine the law and the facts under the direction ot the court, ns in other cases." It is only when a citizen maliciously or negligently libels a public official, or any other person, that he abuses the liberty of the press and Ias himself open to punish ment. Or if be maliciously anil wantonly slanders public officinls lie may bo prosecuted under the law of slander. But there is no offense in cither spoken or written or printed word against the government ns such. Tho government of Pennsylvania has existed for nearly a century and n hnlf with out a sedition Inw. During thnt period it has witnessed many serious disturbaures among the people, but it has sjirvived them nil without n sedition law. This is no time for panic or rcsott to arbitrary power by way of usurpation. It is u time for coal heads and a strict obseiv mice of the inalienable and indcfeusible rights of (lie people. Thcie is ample law, ns voil have so clearly pointed out to punish all climes of violence whether against in dividual or tho government, It only ic mnins for those in uuthorily to enforce the law and not seek tp cbjprjvq the people of r a.! ?'
