Squeamlshness Is displayed through

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

Jersey City Goes Fascist
Shades of "It CANT happen here I"
It not only CAN happen.
It HAS happened 1 .
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 !

should first of all
obtain medical

ly sleeplessness
never troubles an Individual who has

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

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.

nnd while the
fishing was good

closed on bass and pickerel. But one
may legally take yellow perch, which
are a choice fish, and game fighter

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

especially who are not overweight,

Everyone needs less sleep In sum

The old police school demonstra

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

The controversy is not of great
historic Importance. But when Oracle

When money talks we ought
to listen !
Maybe some good bet we
might be missin'
Sometimes we listen with a
sigh,
For mostly dollars Just say
goodbye.
But once we get them com
ing our way,
We like to hear what they
have to say I
So better heed when you
hear the voice,
For it'll tell you CHEVRO
LET is EVERYBODY'S
CHOICE!
