Portland, March H.To the Editor of The Journal In The , Journal of March. 9 I ' read an article containing the deci sion of the suprea.f court i i the case of the Milwaukee Leader vs. Postmaster General Burleson. To me the decision Appears atrocious ;. entirely unprovoked. Perhaps my eyes are. being opened. : .. In comparison ith some, I have been what may .be called a conservative. I championed the espionage acts. My j friends said the acts clearly violated our sacred principle .of freedom of speech, that principle for which we fought the war. .- But . I, .believed that: free speech sboMld be restricted in time of war. With those who- believed tht we were .iigntmg t3 upnoia, ;-ee speecn ana that mm should not restrict itf.durinir the war. 1 could not agree. r I answered that they would soon be locking" the door after the horse was stolen ; that, while they were arguing, German propaganda would undermine the nation. Germany Would win the war and our principle vtould be lost. ... ? . I oan't, however, defend the restricting of . freedom of r speech or the press In time of peace. Clearly we people, who form this government, should be allowed .' to express our opinions about it. May hap, to Postmaster General Burleson, we were Bolsheviks. ! but did this eive him the ground on which to deny, vis a freedom of the press? J Maybe when the , espionage acts were passed I was blinded by patriotism ; per , "haps I was right; but now I am able to ay, "Whither an., - tending?" W. Waters. 7. SUXDAT BLUE LAWS . Protest by One Who Quotes the Master on His Kingship on Barth. . PorUand, March 11jT. the Editor of AThe Journal The fundamental idea of the Sunday , blue law movement is to enthrone Jesus ? Christ as ruler of the ltingdoms of this world, ; The way to determine whether Christ would accept a kingship in this world would be to learn what His attitude was toward such a . proposition when. He was here on earth. When asked by ' Pilata, "Art thou t,h m mo dews; nnsi saia. My jcingaom la not or this world." Again, SCENES ATTENDING THE S""' ' vt fXM when Jesus performed that great miracle of feeding the 5000 people with five barley loaves and two small fishes, the people desired to make Him king: - The record says, concerning ; this incident, "When Jesus, therefore, perceived- that they would come and take Hirij by force, to make Him king. He departed again into a mountain Himself alone." - From these and other statements of Scripture we learn that the idea, of His reigning - as a temporal king was so repugnant to Him that He not only dis claimed any relation to the kingdoms of this - world, but even ran away to h mountain to escape being made king. For Christ now : to accept a kingship in this world would be a complete re versal 01 both the precept and example that He gave when on earth, and this could not he, for He is "the same yes terday, today and forever." In view of these facts, recorded bv tv pen of inspiration, it is demonstrated tnat tnose who. are so' vigorously advo cating the enthronement of Christ as a ruier or nations in this world are cham pions of a proposition - that is anti- Christian, as well as omiosed to th fundamental principles of civil govern ment. : . , i , G.

IN HARDING'S CABINET Three "PosiUons Held by Men of Whom , - This Writer Is Doubtful Portland, March H-To the Editor of ue j ournai 1 ne, general newspaper comment upon the cabinet selected by President Harding is rather misleading. The general tone, is that the cabinet la satisfactory to the country and especial- j w iue nepuDiican party. There are two outstanding characters in this cabinet.

Whether a man connected with the big banking institutions of. the country, as Mr. Mel lon is, will make good in the eyes of the people remains to be proved. Sena tor Fall, by reason of his strong advo cacy . of intervention in Mexico.: and various other policies advocated by him. has led to the belief in the minds of many that he is tied up with the Stand ard Oil interests. His policies as secre tary of th -- interior will be watched with interest.' It has become notorious that Harry M. Daugherty is a 'corporation attorney and lobbyist, and is regarded by many as a mere tool of the big cor porations. It remains to be . proved whether or not he can bring to this office that Independence of action ; so necessary and important' in the in cumbent of that position. We can only hope that these men will be loyal to the interests of the 'whole people. - 1 ' B. F. Wilson. . INDORSES MAYOR BAKER j Placing a Like Construction on Consti tution's Free Speech Clause. i f Portland. Feb. 24. To the Editor 1 of 1 The Journal While : I am willing i to grant that article 1 6f the 10 original amendments to the constitution of the United States gives the people the right of free speech, yet at no time must this i be construed to mean that any person I or persons, organization or society, in this land or outsjde of it, or any em is- sary of a foreign governments or power, has any right whatsoever to , declare that this shall be a government other than that of a majority, or that the interpretation of our constitution shall take on any other interpretation but that of . America, ' or the laws under it be administered in any other way than for the benefit of all the people. I think the constitution is plain in these mat ters. Neither can we entertain a sug gestion from wjthout," that In order to have' peace and prosperity we must have agitation and turmoil. . And Inasmuch as Mayor Baker believes in constitu tional government,: and 'was reelected by the voters of this city, it Is plain that the majority of the people of this city believed he was right In his .attitude on free - speech ; and other constitutional questions as they reviewed hie former administration, and believed he was right as touching domestic tranquillity and Americanism... , . . , It is tmfortunate that some "people believe sovietiam as it is in Russia. . -: In . closing, let me remind Mr. Dahl, and all others of like mind, should their liberties be threatened or their live or INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT HARDING, MARCH 4 i J rr - , Ja-- .. vjt -Wt.

To, the Editor of The Journal In The Journal of March 8 1 notice that the park : soo is to ' be moved, and one of the sites under con sideration is Council Crest, The article also stated that the Portland Heights residents objected to the xod In its present quarters- on account- of - the noises. This is quite true, but if it is objectionable now, how much more so to the dwellers on Council Crest, as that is the quietest part . of town and noises carry much farther up there,' too. Are not their Wishes to be considered at all? A zoo. should not be kept within the city limits- . It is an infernal . thing to live near, not only as to noises, but , as to smells, also. The present soo .has been one of the open Bonn . of (Portland for , years. ' Portland is - too. poor to afford band concerts in the parks, , or to do . many .other things . which most cities of her size consider necessary. but she will consider maintaining a zoo , without the . proper site, buildings or care; , It is a disgrace to be com munity. Sell the animals off, or kill them humanely and stuff them and put them into a museum where they will trouble no -one. For myself, I ' ua pained every time I see a ; wild animal or bird held In captivity, no matter how fine the cage. I long to set the poor eagles free in the park, and see them soar into the blue sky where they belong. There is posi tively no good reason for so confining animals and birds.

George i- Baker, Mayor Dear Sir : As a citizen of this city -and state I wish to protest against the "epidemics" of small pox, diphtheria and other so-called "con tagious disease that are constantly be ing pulled off by Dr. Parrish, city health officer by : your ; appointment. These 'epidemics' are fakes pure and simple. done for the purpose of frightening the' people,: and are a part of the medical machine - program to force '. the people to . submit to medical treatments. ' Re ports of these alleged "epidemics' are wired all over the country as ."news by the various news agencies and give this city and state a blick eye, so far as health is concerned. In a recent trip east and to Mexico I met a gentle man and . his family from Boston who state that they were anxious to visit Oregon and the Columbia highway, hav ing heard of the wondrous beauty ' of this country, but were afraid to enter Oregon because eastern papers were re porting that dreadful epidemics of small pox and other diseases were constantly raging here. This city and state were pictured as being pest Hidden communi ties, reeking with disease. Others whom I met told, me the same thing, and I read in Texas of anvepidemlc of small pox raging in a local shipyard. I wrote you concerning this matter, but received , an evasive reply. If you are disinclined MARCH 13. 1S21. f 1 ''1 V 1 7j T . - i i J f.'' It X- It Hei- to act In this matter, I think it time that the Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies and representative citizens should take some action and perhaps they can find a way1 to keep Dr. Parrish In check and prevent this city and state from - being further maligned. PorUand is one of the most . healthful, cleanest cities in the world, and Oregon Is un surpassed, and it is the duty of every good ciUzen to boost, not knock them. Dr. w. a.
