LIBERTY OF SPEECH
Issuo Statement Warning of
Practice of Breaking Up
Public Meetings
FREEDOM ASSURES PEACE
Warning of the menace to popiilnr
SOTcrnment or the spirit which breaks
up nicotines am' forbid speakers to
deliver addresses was voiced in u state
ment phew ut last nicht after the
Philadelphia nearly meeting of the So
ciety of Friends.
Education, with libertT to speak,
write and discuss all problems, it was
held, offers the surest way to peace and
progress.
The statement, addressed "to all who
Jove representative gocrnmeut in the
tatcs, follows:
The pcri! of the war are behind us,
but the problems of peace arc before
us. The world is seething with unrest,
disturbances, and conflicts. New ideas
arc finding expression, new theories of
social life arc being diced. Hew de
mands for changed conditions in gov
ernment and iudustrv arc assailing our
traditional institutions Iitrenusts,
both reactionary and radical, are pro
claiming strange creeds. We in Amer
ica, though distant from the storm
center, are finding that we arc not im-

has knocked at outdoors, it has crossed
our threshold, and it is asking us the
searching question. How will jou deal
with this confusion of thought and
turbulence of action?
There Is Only One Way
Upon the way in which we answer
that qucstiou in our national life hangs i
more than we know of good or eil
for our country. There is onf way I
and one way onl in which wc cau
hope to achieve sane and peaceful prog
ress. It is the way of education, of
increasing understanding of the causes
and cures of this great unrest. And
there is one condition and one condi
tion only upon which we can hope to
follow this path of peaceable and or
derly advance. It is the condition of
individual liberty, liberty to interchange
ideas and information, liberty to speak
and write, liberty to discuss. In any
other direction lies stagnation or up
heaval. t Because we believe liberty of expres
sion to be of the highest importance to
the welfare of our nation nud of the
coming generation we are profoundly
disturbed by the widespread tendency to
forget and depart from this principle.
I'rom many quarters we hear of speak
ers prohibited from delivering addresses,
nnd of meetings prcentcd or broken up.
In recent strikes the police and powers
or government nave ueeu invoked to en
force the prohibition of gatherings in
stead of to protect men iu their lawful
right of peaceable assembly. The men
acing and pernicious interference with
meetings by organized groups of pri
vate citizens in the name of patriotism
is a sinister blow to our American lib
erties, which should not be unchallenged.
In challenging the right of five Social
ists to take the seats to which they
were duly elected, the Legislature of
Xew York has laid violent hands upon
the foundations of representative gi -eminent.
Sedition laws for peace-time,
such as those already passed iu some
states, and those now pending in Con
gress, are inroads upon the domain of
, American freedom, pregnant with in
justice and danger.
No Man Cau Measure Ilarm
No man can measure the harm that
piay ensue if we follow far these en
croachments upon freedom of expres
sion. History is replete with lessons
of the folly of suppression. Many a
religious, and political martyr should
have taught us long ago that you may
lorturo aud kill and silence men, but
you do not silence truth. The ancient
truth spoken when Christianity was
the feared nud hated doctrine still holds
today: "li this counsel or this work
be of men it will come to naught, but
if It be of God ye cannot overthrow
it." l'ct while suppression cannot si
lence truth, it can work many evils. It
can produce stagnation of men's minds,
and in so doing cut the tap-root of
democracy. It cau bring disaster to
those who imposed it, as it did when
the Federal party passed the sedition
law of 17!)S, and in the words of n
leading historian "from the day the
Mil became law, the Federal party went
steadily down to ruin." It can pro
duce revolution. Let France and Itus
Hla bear witness. "I will make them
conform or I will harry them out of
the land," cried James I of Kngland,
against the Puritans, and these words,
it has been said, "heralded the struggle
which within half a ceutury was to de- I
liver up James s son to the execu
tioner." No easy indifference will suffice to
maintain freedom among us. Liberty
asks of us u price, the price of toler
ance toward those t whom we do not
wish to 6hov tolerance I5ut it is only
the unpleasant or hated utterance that
ureally tests the quality of our lib
erty. Must rrotect Minorit)
"The supreme test of civil liberty,"
a noted Euglish lord has said, "is our
determination to protect nu unpopular
minority in time of national excite
ment." In times of intolerance and op
pression the founding of a great com
monwealth by William I'enu on the
principles of religious nnd civil liberty
helped bj form our national policy of
iudividuU freedom. Our lojalty to that
policy is now undergoing trial. In new
nnjs our times are proviug afresh
whether this nation "conceived iu lib
erty aud dedicated to the proposition
tliat nil men nro created equal" can
govern itself on bitch n principle. We
appeal to all who with us love this
great republic and cherish high hopes
for her future to help her meet the
test.
Wc mny difTer as to the good or evil
of the ideas which arc liuding expres
sion, but let us take to heart the recent
wo.ds of a foremost editor of this coun
try: "What I have said is not a plea for
the new radicalism, for to inc most of
this new radicalism is the very nega
tion of -political and economic sanity.
What I am pleading for is the restora
tion of the traditions of the republic,
for the restoration of the proved safe
guards of h u in mi liberty, for the re
storation of the free play of public
opiuion, without which democracy is
stifled and cannot exist."
LUTHER LEE "OUTTA LUCK"
Chinese Census Taker Finds Coal In
Attic, Family In Cellar
Luther Sing Leo. the Chinese taking
the census in Chinatown, is sure "outta
luck." His scheduled victims are al
ways out.
Then lie meets other difficulties. The
Chinese apparently do cvervthinc back
ward. Yesterday poor Lee stumbledj
up naric scairwujs to the fourth tloor
of a rooming house and finally fell into
the nttic.
Instead of a Chinese family he found
something sometimes fjund in cellars
n pile of coal. He retraced his steps
through the darkened hallway aud got
no answer to his knocks on the doors
until he hit the cellar. There lie found
a lone Chinese.
The other occupants of the house, he
was told, had gone to the "movies."
This condition, Lee claims, is typical.

MATZENAUER AND
KINDLER CONCERT
Fine Vocal and Cello Work in
the Academy Series by Two
Excellent Artists
lr :
The Matzcnauer-Klndlcr recital nt
the Academy of Music last eveniug was
the most successful of the scries thus
far, both artistically and also in the sire
of the audience present, The program
presented was a varied one and unusual
ly free from hackneyed numbers nnd the
offerings of both artists were well re
ceived. Mr. Kindler began with the Prelude
nnd Fugue iu C minor by Sebastian,
Bach for cello unaccompanied nnd
played the difficult nnd intricate num
ber with excellent taste ahd technique.
From the musician's standpoint, it was
the most ambitious piece on his pro
gram and was one of the best per
formed. Mine. Mnlzcnauer, who was received
with great applause on her appearand,
sang first a group of old-time songs by
Secchi, Vcrncini, Cnldara and Handel.
Her style of singing is cosmopolitan
enough nnd her wonderful voice is suffi
cient lu quality and range to do well the
works of any school, and while she is at
her best in the more imimssionatc music
of later composers than these, her rendi
tion was splendid nnd she gave life and
vitality to compositions written in the
foimal manner. For an encore she sang
"Ah, Mon Fils," from "Les Hugue
nots," with great feeling nnd emotion.
Mr. Kindler appeared twice more on
the program iu solo groups, one of them
selected from Iltissinii composers und
the other from that veteran of cello
composers, Popper. In the first-named
group the "Cradle Song" of Ornstcin,
..1 1 -t T.-!.lt 1.! 1 .- '
iuiuuKtu uj- iur. ivikiuiei uiiiisi'ii, wu3
so enthusiastically received that it had
to be repeated. The works were chosen
for their contrast and made up two very
effective groups.
Mine. Mntzenaucr followed tho same
scheme iu her part of the program,
singing one group of Itussiau composeis'
ongs and a second group of songj hj
Grieg, whoso exquisite writings for the
voice are too seldom heard on the con
cert stage.
The Ilussinu songs are melancholy In
tho extreme, but exceedingly beautiful,
notably Arcnsky's "But Lately In the
Dance" nnd Tschalkowsky'B "None But
tho Lonely Heart," tho latter played
with cello obbligato by Mr. Kindler.
This song was so well received that for
an encore the nrtlsts gavo the "Ave
Maria" of Bach-Gounod.
