FREE SPEECH i
One evening last week Eugene V.
Debs, condemned to 10 year im
pnaoiaiont for violating tho osnion
age at. addressed a mass-meeting of
brother Socialists In Cleveland He
re-iterated his charge that Uo
ernment was persecuting the social
ist party. He. praised the Russian
Bolshevikl. He assailed the motives
with which the United States entered
the war and the spirit in which it is
now making peace. He accused the
government of trying to stifle "free
' speech" and defied the authorities to
silence him and his followers.
A socialist editor, from the same
platform, made a speech of similar
tenor, holding the Bolshevik! up as
Inspiring examples, and condemning
the "tyranny" of the United States
government. He also had much to
say about "silencing free speech."
The socialist audience then raised
their hands and swore that "either
Gene Debs would get out of Jail, or
they would get In."
This meeting was held two or
three days after the supreme court
of the Tnited States had upheld the
Debs sentence. Debs was still out
on hall, and was not molested. Not

Not a policeman's club was swung to

FILMS IMPROVING
' Movie art is Improving," says
Charlie Chaplin, confidentially. "I
havent thrown a pie for a year."
If the lugubrious and acrobatic
Charlie means to lntimatp that he
has turned over a new leaf, that last
pie may become historic. It seems
to deserve a certain fame,, anyhow
from the fact that It hit a king In
the face, and that the film had a big
success In where do you suppose?
In Japan?
Thowing custard pies never was
considered very high art. The oper

30.000 MILES
SCHOOL GARDEN'S ARE
POPULAR
Evidence ot the rapid development
of the schoo! s-arden work In Chicago
Is found in the fact that two years i
ago there were 33,000 such gardens.
Last year there were 87,000. This
year the garden extension depart
ment expects the number to reach
100,000.
In Maine It is proposed to make
gardening an Integral part of the
school work of every child, so import
ant is It considered.
School gardens have proved a
source of profit and enjoyment to
the youthful gardeners in every sec
tion where the work has been ser
iously undertaken. The children
love working with the earth, plant
ing seeds and cultivating flowers and
vegetables. The school garden makes
It possible for many a youngster with
no back yard to have Just as mu'-h
fun and pride In a garden all hip
very own as the happier child who
cultivates his little patch in a corner
of dad's larger garden. Because the
gardens have been so generally suc
cessful In actually producing good,
though small crops, they have served
to Introduce fresh vegetables In
homes where they had been almost
unknown.
Here's wishing long life and suc
cess to the school garden Idea and
to the children who have learned
little lessons of patience and perse
verance, of the results of honest ef
fort, of the pride of achievement, and
who have found health and happiness
lir their garden Work.
SOLDIERS' INSURANCE
Fifty per cent of- the dischargee'
snlriiora are not keeolna UD thcit
monthly insurant payments. Vany
of them intend to keep them up no
doubt, and fail to do so simply be
cause they do not kmw how t-
handle the premium payment" In."
whatever the reason, tho result is t.n
fortunate. Continued neglect of
this matter will result in the forfeit
ing of the policies, leaving the ex
soldiers without their insurance pro
tection, and making it necessary for!
them to pay much hlsher rate-i if
they undertake later to buy policies
from private companies.
The government intends to con
tinue its Insurance department,
changing ttte system of psyments so
as to make it simpler for the menj
concerned. The rates Kill be based !
on those charged by the private life
insurance companies, but inasmuch
as the government will pay all the
costs of administration, the ex-sol
dier will have to pay only 80 per cent
as much as lie would pay a private
company. The new plans will offer
4. AT THE MOVIES.
There are Just three people who
know bow and why D." W. Griffith
named the hoydonish little street
singer in his latest triumph, "Hearts
ot the World." which will bo. shown
at the Joy theater beginning tonight,
"the little disturber." Some might
have guessed It, but ony those three,
Lillian Gish, D. W. Griffith and Mrs.
Glsh actually knew that It was Dor
othy's own personality wlil-'h ac
counted tor that altogether filtliu
monicker In the biggest war and love
play that the screen has ever seen.
Dorothy in real life is "the little
disturber" Bbe has been "it" ever
since she awoke ono day In Juno,
1S9S. She has had her fingers in all
the family pies and wherever she
could all these years and when Mr.
Griffith cast her for the part in his
new play, he knew that she would
make a minor role a creation that
would draw the applause of mil
lions. She "butted in" as per usual,
'in fact, she pjt her fingers in the
celluloid pie that D. W. Griffith
worked on for two years and drew
forth a plum that has earned hr as
much glory in a few weeks as that
little Horner person came by In 7"
years. Some people even give her
the credit for the best impersonation
In a play that Is significant for Its
realism and tho human quality of
Its character.
