"With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes" Bvron A Reactionary Decision Affirmation by the Oregon supreme court of the con viction of Ben Boloff, of Portland, sentenced to ten years Imprisonment for having assisted in organizing the com munist party, comes as a shock to all believers in freedom of speech and thought as essential principles of popular povern nvnt. rights guaranteed by the constitution. It is the most reactionary decision the court has yet rendered. Boloff was convicled under the criminal syndicalism act, which was a product of war hysteria, enacted at a time con stitutional rights had been temporarily suspended for na tional safety. The suspension was never intended to be permanent and its perpetuation is a form of tyranny abhor rant to lovers of liberty and one which founders bf the republic refused to tolerate in their time, and never has been to'erated in the United States except in war time and in the period of renction which has followed the world war. As regards the sentiment existing at the time of the adoption of the constitution, Dr. Leon Whipple says: The people were determined that no new tyranny should ever stop them from meeting and talking over their grievances, nor from urging change in their government, piece-meal or In its entirety. It belonged to them; there was no outside Juditc; Uie choice was theirs, even If free speech advocated the overthrow of the government. It was Thomas Jefferson who wrote: The people cannot be all. and always well Informed. The part which la wrong will be discontented In proportion to the Importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconcep tions. It Is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty What country can preserve Its liberties If their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy Is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What slintfy a few lives lost In a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It Is Its natural manure. The Oregon supreme court would probably sentence Thomas Jefferson to 100 years in prison, were he alive to day, for he went further than Boloff, who only parrottefl the linlf-bnked philosophy of Moscow. Boloff's conviction was obtained on evidence secured by M. R. Bacon, Portland police officer, who joined the com munist party to betray its members. This is the same po liceman who recently sanctioned the participation of a stool-pigeon who gathered evidence against the communists for him, in the Aurora bank robbery, which landed his in formant in the penitentiary. It is upon such evidence, supplemented by that of pro fessional red baiters, that'this ignorant laborer is sentenced to ten years imprisonment. At worst he only advocated change of government by revolution if necessary, a right every American has as long as he does not commit an overt act. We are glad to note that the opinion was not unanimous, that a liberal and tolerant spirit governs at least two of the justices, Rand and Belt Justice Rand says: There was no overt act upon defendant's part proven In this case. I do not believe that the mere fact that defendant was a member of the communist party is sufficient In Itself alone to Justify his conviction of the crime with which he was charged. Justice Belt in dissenting says: I find no authority which approves what seems to me such an ex treme and dangerous rule as that announced by Justice Rossman. The criminal syndicalism act was enacted during the late world war as a sort of an emergency measure. To extend Its application to a poor, Ignorant sewer digger who entertains erroneous Ideas concerning gov ernmental affairs and to Imprison him In the penitentiary for a period of 10 years is. In my opinion, Dot In keeping with the proper adminis tration of Justice. Throughout the centuries. Jails have never been able to kill Ideas. It Is doubtful If they can do so in this modern and turbu lent age. To make martyrs of the few communists we have in the country, is merely to strengthen their cause. Free speech is a safety valve to let the steam of discontent escape harm lessly. And experience has amply proven throughout his tory, that ideas cannot be suppressed by force without be coming more explosive. The few communists we have in America less than a fifth that we had a decade ago, split into factions, are more interested in fighting each other than the government and constitute no menace because com munism cannot thrive, in an atmosphere of individualism. The red menace is much ado about nothing, cultivated for the jobs and publicity it affords.

Portland Slayer Received at Prison Ira H. Ormand, Portland life tenner, worked at the state peni tentiary sawdust pile Wednesday. Ormond, who killed his wife and asphyxiated his two children, was "dressed In" early Wednesday, and was then put to work shoveling hog fuel. Warden Jim Lewis said. "Heaving shovelfuls of the lumber mill refuse near the prison power house furnaces Is excellent condi tioning work for new men,1 Lewis explained. "Must men entering the prison, are pale and unsteady, and the physical outdoor work puts them Into the pink again." Portland officers brought Ormond to the penitentiary late Tuesday.

LEAVING THE OLD HOMESTEAD P&&C W6T TO COM MMk WlM -wt, PACIFIC FLIERS LOST MONEY IN WORLD FLIGHT New York (fT) Clyde Pangborn guesses he'll go back to barnstorm- in?. You can make a living at that, at least- This business of flying around the world braving death In a dozen ways and beating a path across the fogbound Pacific gets you only a lot of trouble, a lot of strange food, some experience, and a d4iclt. Pangboni, veteran army and air circus pilot, disclosed Tuesday night that up to now the round-the-world venture he accomplished with Hugh Hemdon, Jr., well-to-do aviation en thusiast, is distinctly "in the red." "We sank over $40,000 in the flight," he said after a dinner given him and Herndon by R. H. Fleisch man, magazine publisher. "We're still a considerable sum short of making up that total, even with the $25,000 check we received from the Tokyo newspaper. Maybe after wc arrange to sell a few testimonials and the like well have the $40,00(1 back and a little to spare. But no thing to write home about." But neither has any regrets. Both said they would not forego the ex perience and the memories of their flight for anything; Pangborn and Hemdon took off at 9 a.m., Wednesday for Washing ton. They flew to the capital to be welcomed by President Hoover and the Japanese amba.ador. Herndon's wife accompanied them. ents. either.

ROMANCE FROM ISLANDS HERE; ALSO 'SILENCE' AH earlier South Sea romance movies Dale Into insignificance be fore the splendor and giory or ia bu," the F. W. Murnau production, released by paramount, wmcn op- ened Wednesday at the Warner Bros. intense pleasure of hundreds of avidly expectant movie fans who flocked there to see it- "Tabu" has everything. But above all it has the beauty and charm of a faraway place, the feeling of a life remote and detached which gives the spectator a sense of being projected into & land of his dreams. "Tabu" was filmed In Bora Bora, an Island In the South Pacific, thou sands of miles from civilization. The actors In it are natives, most of whom never heard of a movie cam era before Murnau and his compan ion, R. J. Flaherty Journeyed there In their little sailing vessel about two years ago. The story deals with a tradition of the Polynesian tribes. A folk story that is as human, as epic In its rev elation of human emotions as the familiar tales of UUyses. of St. George and the dragon, of Guinevere and Lancelot. Antoinettes Beauty Talks' Ever Face Has Own Perfect Complement in Matter of Hals Marcin's play. "S Hence" which is showing Wednesday and Thurs day at the Warner Bros. Capitol theater, was produced by Crosby Galge in New York, and opened at the National theater In November, 1924, with H. B. Warner In the star ring role. It to a complicated melo drama, motivated by an attractive crook who brings death and dis grace to the girl he loves, and, years afterwards, finds his own daughter imperilled by his lawless past. To save her he faces the gallows with his lips tightly sealed on the secrets which would drag her also, to shame, Cllve Brook. Marjorie Rambeau, Peltry Shannon and Charles Star rett are seen In the leading roles of the screen play In which the action takes plaoe over a period of twenty years. Miss Shannon, who recently made her screen debut with Rich ard Arlen In "The Secret Call," plays iwo ro.es in "Silence," seen, first as the wife and, later, as the daugh ter of Cllve Brook. These two char acters never meet In the action, however. "Dear Miss Donnelly: While you are on the hat and profile subject, why don't you give some of the salespeople a forcible idea about putting the right sort of hat on wo men? Sometimes they lie so delib erately about what's on the head before them. 'How wonderful you look. they'll say when they're thinking the exact opposite. Hats are a hobby with me. When I get in some millinery establish ments and see the pressure brought to bear In selling terrible looking pieces of headgear to Innocent wo men, I could step up and plead for mercy. But that would be interpret- EX-KING PLANS BOOK UPON WAR Paris (LP) With nothing to do but find a Job to keep him busy, ex King Alphonso of Spain advised close friends recently that he had decided to publish a book- The book will not be a defense of the Spanish monarchy nor an explanation of his abdication, but wtL be devoted en tirely to proving that Alphonso was friendly to France in the World war. Alphonso was surprised, since coming here In exile, to learn that his war time position Is regretted by many French. In his book, the ex-king Intends to show what he did to prove his sympathy for France, despite the pro-German attitude of many of the Spanish political leaders during the war and the governments official neutrality. His writings will show how he spent from hut personal fortune to obtain the repatriation of French prisoners and how he paid for spe cial care for French wounded In German prison camps. ed as none of -my business, which maybe It isn't. But, goodness, wnen a hat oan do what it docs to your looks and to your feelings, don't you think out of sheer humanity to women, terrible mistakes might be prevented by the salesperson? I'm wondering how one of us, not dependlug on selling hats for our living, honestly would act were we in the salesperson's shoes. I. too. have wondered how a saleswoman has the heart to tell that an atro cious piece of headgear was becom ing. But then. I wasn't selling hats for a living. Maybe If my next pair of hose depended upon the sale, I'd tell the customer she looked imper ial with a coalscuttle on her bead. I don't know. Who can tell what you'd do under circumstances you've never tried? But there Is this about U. Once a salesperson sells you a hat that does handsome by you, she's made a friend for life out of you. She in spires a certain confidence when she says: "No, that isn't so good on you." Especially if she hints that you have a style that should be played up. But salcsfolk aren't all born dip lomats. And as things stand today a woman should be pretty well aware of her own requirements. She should know what looks good, bad, ridiculous, or grand on her. She should even have the courage to hold out against a Judgment being forced upon her. If she Is in doubt about a hat she should come back tomorrow for It. A list shouldn't be a rush purchase. Just because It does make all the difference in the world In her appearance, woman should go In for more serious study of hat lines and what they can do for the face.

A young woman of 34, sole support of an establishment, regardless of the fact that It Is her mother and father she Is supporting, should be permitted to dictate her terms. It should be her right to say who. when and how often she might en Joy callers In her home. There should be little mterferertee on the part of her dependents, for such the parents become when daughter be comes the head of the financial ma chinery.
