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.

Pangboni, veteran army and air

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."

flight for anything;

"Tabu" was filmed In Bora Bora,

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.

maybe It isn't. But, goodness, wnen

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.
