Judge Brand Made
Splendid Talk
One of the most pertinent, timely
and thought-producing addresses ever
made in Coquille was that delivered
by Judge Jas. T. Brand at the weekly
luncheon of the Lions club last Thurs­
day noon. His subject was “Subver­
sive Doctrines,” and dealt with the
numerous isms and old-world threats
to our American democracy which are
gradually becoming more pronounced
in the United States.
This writer did not hear Judge
Brand’s talk nor is it possible to give
even a sketchy outline of it, but
those who were fortunate enough to
hear it declare it to have been a mas­
terpiece of thoughtful insight into the
dangers which may afflict this nation
through propagation of ideas which
would tear down, not build up.
And yet, as Judge Brand said, you
cannot forbid the discussion of com­
munism or any other of the subver­
sive doctrines which threaten. To do
so, and limit free speech or a free
press, would put the United States in
the dictatorship class which is what
those doctrines naturally lead to.
