POLITICAL FIGHT Communications The Lesson in Louisiana To the Editor: The recent tragedy enacted In Louisiana is to be regretted by every citizen In this democratic nation. Will Americans be wise enough to profit by the lesson therein con tained? When any Individual or group of Individuals, assuming dictatorship, deprive the electorate of their con stitutional rights of "free speech," "free assemblage" and "free press," they are either attempting to set up a fascist or communistic form of gov ernment. When a man or men attempt to rule people In the United States through fear, suppression and threats, the outcome Is the same whether it be in Louisiana, North Dakota, Maine or Oregon. Such procedure cannot help but lead to violence In a nation that was founded In order that all men might be "free and equal' and that all might be guaran teed the right to the "pursuit of life, liberty and happiness," together with the "bUl of rights" (free speech, free yress and free assemblage) and relig ious freedom. At approximately the very hour that this "tragedy" was being enacted in Louisiana, Dr. John W. Studebaker, commissioner of education, Washing ton. D. C, was addressing, via the radio, the people of this nation on the need of education in order that our democratic form of government might be preserved. He said, in sub stance, that "civic ignorance" was much to blame for the maladminis tration of government; that the remedy and salvation of this nation lay in preserving those right guar anteed to us by the constitution namely, "free speech," "free press," and "free assemblage." He went fur ther and said that public schools and public buildings should be used for the people to meet in public forum and discuss the "pros and cons' of all questions; that no group of Individ uals should be permitted- to force their opinion down the throat of their fellow citizens, at the same time denying them the right to publicly express their view. He further said that, knowingly or not, those indi viduals, regardless of what organiza tion they might be members of, were thus advocating fascist and commun istic forms of government, and were tearing down the democratic form of government which they professed .to be protecting. Communistic and fascist form of government axe nothing more or less than dictatorships. Will this "Louisiana tragedy" awaken the American people to their, peril? Will those people who belong to groups like the "Liberty League." "The Minute Men," etc., awaken to the fact that dictatorship, such as apparently advocate, can lead only to assassination and murder and event ually the downfall of a great dem ocracy? Will thoee men who appar ently advocate free speech, only where they, themselves, are concerned, real ize that they are digging their own grave as well as that of this great republic? May I remind you that our constitution was written to pro tect the weak as well as the strong?

Would the dear old "Grand Army Veterans," who were parading in Detroit, today, permit themselves to be used to assist in tearing down this nation, which the blood they shed kept Indivisible? I ask you to alt quietly and think, where does the road of dictatorship lead to? That road, down through the age, has, always, led to violence, assassination, murder and bloodshed for innocent and guilty alike. Whither are we bound, to oblivion like some of the great empires of the past, or, are we to remain a dem ocracy, forever, a beacon of light and hope to all mankind? HENRIETTA B. MARTIN. Mall Tribune Thanked To the Editor: Permit me to express my personal appreciation, a well as that of the organization, to you and to the Mail Tribune for the space given us In your Issue of Sunday, September B.

Out on Queens boulevard near Forest Hills there haa sprung up something en tirely new In depression entertain ment. The effect ia Southern plantation, crude and country, bearing the name of "De South." It's lit by oil torches and lan tern hung from whiffle-trees. Admission Is free, a plate din ner SO cents and tin cups of beer are dispensed rrom a corn-crib bar. Off-side Is a scrubby corral with and old nag roaming around. The en trance is over an old-fashioned four step stile and benches and tables are scattered picnic style. The orchestra pit Is a dug-out In a haystack where black muslciana In overalls and straw hats play kazoos. The only other Instrument Is a gui tar. The waitresses are garbed in pickaninny dress. A couple may dance all evening for a dollar and the floor is well filled. The whole enterprise Is quartered on a long abandoned lot and prob ably represent an investment of not more than $1,000. Yet from the open ing It has proved a winner. The im mense free parking space Is filled with limousines of Long Islanders stopping for a bit of slumming. No poet In the world lives so lux uriously a D'Annunzio. Hi villa on the picturesque mountainside at Lake Oarda, Italy, Is one of the most mag nificent estates in Europe.

Robert Sherwood, the playwright, la reputedly among the most welcome American visitors to Vienna. His sym pathetic play, "Reunion in Vienna," contributed largely to hi popularity. A correspondent, visiting there, writes: "My first visit since 1928 and what a change. No one smiles. They just keep hoping. On the anniversary of the Dollfuss assassination the whole town paused In mournful sil ence. Everything was dark save for the two candles that flickered In ev ery available window. It's the most lasting personal sorrow I ever be held." a ; Last of the Viennese boulevardlers Is the writer, Ferenlc Molnar.

McNaught Syndicate) Aviators Evidence Interest In Novel Zenith Wincharger The propel lor of the new Zenith Frepower Wincharger which closely resembles an airplane propellor at tracted the attention of a group of professional aviators who stopped at Prultt's Melody shop several days ago to examine It with Interest, according to Almus Prultt. The Wincharger Is a windmill-like generator which keeps a 6-volt stor age battery charged indefinitely with only a few hours of turning In the breezes each day. A breeze as slow as 10 miles an hour Is sufficient to set it going. In conjunction with the new Ze nith battery radios, which run off a storage battery only no B or O bat teries required, the Wincharger gives one of the cheapest forms of enter tainment possible to obtain. Not only Is the new Zenith Frepower system the most economical of all, including AC systems on the lowest power rate, but the result are better, as a rule, than can be obtained with a good AC radio, owing to the lack of power line interference, according, to Almus Prultt. The new Zenith battery radios have full short-wave that really works, full automatic volume control, continu ously variable tone control , almost unlimited sensitivity and splendid tone quality. 4 Oscar Cutler, engineer of the state highway commission, conferred with the county court this morning rela tive to the state highway commis sion and Jackson county co-operating in the extension and Improvement of secondary highways.
