Squeamlshness Is displayed through out the land let "freedom of speech' be squelched. After finite tors with the gift of fiery gab have plagued a community, suppression of nowi the speech and the speakers appears as a fine thing, and a blessing, new Jersey la now the oratorical stomping ground, and a record amount of standing on constitutional rights prevails 'there. The problem Is to tln "freedom of speech," without the speakers exhibiting too much freedom. A speakor advocating the overthrow of the American form of government should at least be an American cltleen. able to apeak Eng lish, and not unconsciously revert to his native European tongue, when oratorlcally excited. The perils of oratory are revealed In the recent experience of a cltl- sen as follows: "Tho Oovernor of Kansas re cently visited the state peniten tiary at Lansing. He began hta apeeoh with the customary re mark: 'Fellow eltlsens.' A few of the audience laughed. The governor stopped short and be gan again. 'Fellow convict,." he said. This produced a roar of laughter for the Joke was at his expense. Well, I don't know whst to call you," he explained, 'but anyway, I'm glad to see so many of you here.' " A Vermont preacher, charged with fishing on Sunday, waa acquitted by his church. The offense occurred on the opening day of the season. The erring pastor caught eight trout, which was hotter than members of his congregation, who also went fish ing, could do. AU the votes have been counted In the stato grange election. The back room of the Portland Labor Temple won decisively over the shsdy aide of the barn as a place to save the farmers. . A prowler after llttl, known ob vlous facts has discovered three Ore gon candidates for governor have given names of Charles, and four were christened Henry.

Jersey City, New Jersey, has gone Fascist. Of course nnder the potent Mayor Hague it has always been secretly Fascist, but Saturday night it became openly so. And to the everlasting shame of that city, and the great state of New Jersey, this outrage was committed under the name of upholding 100 Americanism and putting down the "red menace." OUT that, too, is true to type, following out in practically every detail, the pattern outlined by Sinclair Lewis in his famous booh. Lewis's Fascist government, also, was established under the guise of a "higher patriotism." It, too, was supported by the labor racketeer and the professional drum-thumping Legionnaire. Its sole purpose as well from the bomb-throwing alien and the liberty-destroying Bolshevik. It is positively UNCANNY episode follows the Lewis best seller, which predicted that what happened in Italy and Germany, CAN happen here. And unless this unspeakable Hague, and the high handed and ruthless tyranny he represents is eventually put down, it MAT happen. , FOR while, in theory, this country is overwhelmingly opposed to Fascism, when it comes to actual practice, we fear one will find an astonishing undercurrent of sympathy with it. Take this Jersey City situation, for example. Here is a city of over 300,000. people, only ten of fifteen min utes away from the largest and most modern metropolis in America. A city, in other words, in the very center of American life. . And what do we find T Thousands of the residents of this city, marching to the public square, American flags waving, bands playing, (and rubber hoses SWINGING I) to tender, not only their moral, but their physical support to a local government that openly defies and violates tho Constitution of the United Stutesl For that is what this Jersey City incident amounts to, nothing more, nothing less. OUR Constitution guarantees to every citizen the right of froe assembly and of free speech, whether he happens to be in Jersey City or in Old Town, San Diego. Deny tha,t ritrlit, and yon deny the Constitution, you deny demooraoy. There can be no compromise on an issue like this. An indi vidual, or a community, must be for it, or against it. One can't be half and half. One can't be for it under certuin circum stances, and against it under different circumstances. That is unless one is Mayor Hague of Jersey City . . . and with Hitler and Mussolini an orthodox Fascist. For under Fascism free speech of course is only for yuu, and for those who think and talk as you do. There is no free speech for those who differ with you, whether they happen to be members of the Socialist party like Norman Thomas j representatives in congress, like J. J. 0 'Cou ncil and John T. Bernard; or the head of the CIO, like Jehu L. Lewis. eVTO. when the. fundamental ' invoked, and the OTHER side demands a hearing, then the police, the strong arm squads, and the buddies with their rubber hoses begin to march, and the other side is forced to choose between the denial of bloodshed. And, outnumbered 10,000 to shed I So the ineffable Mayor Hague, passes out the cigars, sends another truck losd of roses to his model hospital, pins a fresh gardenia in his morning coat, and the boys down at the City Hall, give three more rousing cheers for IOOp Americanism and ITiz Honor. PRETTY soft, if yon can get away with it. And for a number of years, decades in fact, Mayor Hague has been getting away with it, thanks to his strong arm squad, a political machine as efficient as it is corrupt, and an enthusiastio and Biibservient electorate. How long it will continue we don't know. But it would require more optimism than this column can now produce, to name the date of any Jersey City clean-up, from WITHIN, and unless we are greatly mistaken, there will be none from WITHOUT not until after the congressional elections are over, at least. But it's Fascism, of course, and every student of politics knows it. There is no more free speech, free press, free assem bly, no more free or honest elections in Tact, in Jersey City than in Berlin or in Naples. OUT we venture to say not one resident out of 100 in Jersey City would admit it. And we would further venture, that under similar circumstances in practically any large city in the United States, the number of people approving such a regime would be appalling, just as appalling as the number of irood citizens who immediately after the Great War, joined the KuKlux Klan to support another type of .100','c Americanism ! .... VirHICH brings us back to our " When Sinclair Lewis wrote graduated from being only one of this country 's 'successful riters and became a major Prophet. This is not to say this country is going Fascist and notlvng can prevent it. It is to say, that proud as we democracy and preserving it, we have all the makings ol Fascism in this country right now. And if social and economic conditions should become materially worse than they are today, well, Those who RKAM.Y believe in democracy and understand what that belief involves, would have the fight of their lives on their hands, to maintain it I There now are 94S.T00 collective I Amone coronation glfta from da farms In Htisala. with IB SO0.fa.i0 ! mlnloru and colonics to the Kins an1 households, or BS per cent of sll pea- Queen of Ktvland la a whale's tootn ante In the country. necliac from the FIJI chief.

Any one who suffers from Insomnia should first of all obtain medical advice for what alia him. Certain ly sleeplessness never troubles an Individual who has nothing the matter. Lack of sleep or Insufficient sleep Is NOT a cause of Insanity. The com mon fallacy that It leada to Insanity Is based on Inaccurate observation the truth Is gather that Insane per sons are likely to sleep to little be cause of their Illness. Younger persona require more sleop than older persona. "Brain worker" require lesa sleep than persons who do honest physical work, and persona who lead a sedentary existence re quire loss sleep than persons who get plenty of exercise. A dally stint of honest muscular work Is the best of all promoters of sound, restful sleep, whether the work be doing family washing, spading the g&rden or paint ing the garage. A lot of folk who complain bitterly of the anguish of sleeplessness deserve It. In the opin ion of hard billed Brady. If you sleep poorly you'll appreciate the philoso phy of the observation If you try It some time. Instead of lying In bed thinking of your sins and wondering about everything, go' out and take two or three miles of oxygen on the hoof, pnrt of It running tf you're not too brittle, and see how much better you'll sleep when you get back. Many persons who find It difficult to get to Bleep at night have learned by practice how helpful Belly Breath-, lng la to carry one off to pleasant j dreams. Tills (a described In detail in the twenty-five cent 50-page booklet "How to Breathe" we can't take space to give Instructions here. Belly breathing favors natural sleep by In creasing oxygenation of the body cells and by equalizing the circulation. Overeating or too hurried eating which the same thing is a common Man About Manhattan By OtOROE TUCKER NEW YORK This reporter, who plays hooky whenever a chance to go hunting or fishing bobs up, sllppvd quietly out of town the other day for a 48-hour survey of some favorite fishing waters, nnd while the fishing was good Bnd the strikes were frequent, the trip turned out to be a very costly one. He lost a friend. I will not men' tlon this man's name, because I think a lot of htm and he mignt not like it Nevertheless, you have heard him many times on the radio. He has a summer place on thla private lake where I like to angle for favorite pan fish. As you know, the season la now closed on bass and pickerel. But one may legally take yellow perch, which are a choice fish, and game fighter on light tackle. Well. It was raining hard and the fish were biting, and I waa having a fine time. And suddenly a bass took the hook. When you take a bass out of season you carefully re lease him. If he Isn't hooked In the gills. They die, you know, when the gills are punctured, and In small lakes It Is not good to throw back fish that will die. Furthermore. I had been Instructed by som friends of mine, two ladles who own the lake, that If such a con tretemps took place not to return anv Injured fish to the water. So I whack ed the bans on the head and tossed It among the yellow perch. And Just then my friend drove up. He had come down to look over Ms cottage and make plans for summer occupancy. It was good to see him. and we chatted enthusiastically for some minutes. Hla wife was In tb car. and while I walked over to speak to her he walked out on the dock ro see the fish.

People who live by their wits or as parasite must re strain their hogglAhneas about food and drink If they wish to avoid rest less nights. Honest working people, especially who are not overweight, should regularly have a bedtime lunch or a full meal. For the healthy person It Is natural and normal to sleep after eating. For the old of fender with hard arteries It la advis able to resist that Impulse to nap or snooze after a hearty meal. Everyone needs less sleep In sum mer than In winter: In a warm cli mate than in a cold climate. Young persons require never less than 8 hours sleep to maintain health, vitality and good looks. There Is no such thing as "making up for lost sleep." Anybody sleeps beat alone. qt'KffTIONH tfc ANSWERS ' Bustles anil Dusters Please give me all the data you can why feather dusters should not be used In the home or office. (H. C. DeW.)

HITLER, at the end of hla spectac ular visit to Rome, publloly guarantees to Mussolini "for all time" the boundaries which he says "nature has set for Germans and Italians" (meaning the Brenner pass). How much do you suppose his guarantee la wortb? And how much, do you suppose, does Mussolini really THINK it Is worth? THE truth, of course, Is that Hitler will keep hla word Just sa long as It PAYS him to keep It and no longer. Nations are that way. There Is no such thing aa common hon esty among them.

And thus, al though the real Issue In the Indiana election Is an old political row be tween Van Nuys and McNutt, It wlU appear a test of the political wisdom of eongresslonsl Independence. The president Is probably licking his chops already. The old police school demonstra tions, proving that seven different eye-wlthesses give seven different ac counts of the same Incident, nave been beaten hollow recently by Henry Ford and Chairman Marriner S Eccles, of the federal reserve board. They tell such contrary stories of what happened at the celebrated Ford lunch at the White House that they ought to get over with It by calling each other prevaricators, straight out. Not long ago. some of the most amusing anecdotes of the luncheon, aa told by the Ford party when It reached New York, were re tailed In this space. Shortly there after, Mr. Eccles issued a statement rather openly implying that all the Anecdotes of the Ford party were Ford staircase wit. The controversy is not of great historic Importance. But when Oracle Hall Roosevelt gets around to pub lishing her memoirs. It will be inter esting to see whether Mr. Ford or Mr. Eocles has the more accurate memory.

Shortly there after, the grapevine brought him news that Regnler had the Job and waa being instructed in his duties. Wheeler promptly called the agri culture department again, got a sub ordinate official, and waa told that Regnler was indeed the man. There upon, he blew up so violently that the telephone wire must have been blistered. The little man at the ag riculture department bleated and hung up. Hlf an hour later, the department telephoned Wheeler to say that there had been a mistake, that Chapman was to be the Mon tana director, while Regnler would have a Washington Job. It still pays to be senior Democratic member of the senate agriculture committee. , 4 CLIMAX. May 9. (Spl.) Norma Jean Wertz of Central Point spent the week-end at her home here.
