The Guaranty of Tolerance and Libert
When in his Plymouth Bock address on Monday
President Harding spoke of the "principle of 'toleration
and liberty" for which our fathers crossed the Atlantic
he had in mind the setting tip of that principle by
the Puritans on their arrival. It would have been
outside his purpose and irrelevant to speak ot the
abandonment of the principle ' not long afterward
and the prevalence of intolerance in New England,
where the Puritans were dominant. That became
the one section of the new world where a religious
tyranny prevailed tor a time' manifesting itself in
the persecution of the Quakers and the Baptists, en
forcing itself against all whose manner of living and
habits of thought did not conform to the Puritan
nation. How firmly this tyranny might have en
trenched itself but for the American Revolution we
cannot say. .But that event brought together Puri
tan and Cavalier, each exerting an Influence upon
the other for the better , and making possible the '
American constitution, which offered the first guar
anty of toleration and liberty that had . ever been
given among men. ' 7 , '
Englishmen who settled in Maryland, Virginia
and the. Carol inas had come for other and 3i verse.,
reasons. They had not come for freedom to wor
ship God in any particular way; many of them not to
worship Kim at alL There was a liberalism that
amounted to a license In morals. The people concerned
themselves only with their worldly relations toward -one
another. Their conduct was regulated 6nly by
such laws as seemed necessary. In their morals
there were reflected those of the mother country at
the time of their departure. f
Probably but for the event which : arrested
Puritanism, in the north, the south would have seri
ously deteriorated, but the hand ""'"of ' the revolu
tion was laid upon boia and Puritanism was made
to give a rigid but controlled " strength to the new .
people thus organized, and the! liberalism of .the
south was made the instrument to hold it in check.
Stch a fusion, admirable as it was, probably
could not have maintained Itself by the mere will of
the people. Conflicts of conscience and of manners .
would have arisen within a short time. The north
would have reverted to Puritanism and the south to
liberalism and there would have been dhslons as
hopeless as those which have always existed among
the European states distinguishing one from an
other, however limited their "boundaries.
There was required the charter of tolerance and
liberty, to give ' perpetuity to the social condition
among the colonies which , the war had brought
about. The Puritan conscience could not have done
it. Liberty can never be entrusted to the. human
conscience or to the ever changing will of the peo
ple.: There are always groups, in most cases hon
est, we believe, which ae trying to enforce upon
other groups or unorganized members of society,
- their own peculiar notions of human conduct. .
We have now absolute freedom of worship. None
can interfere with that. Tet there are insidious at
tempts to interfere making it plain that but for the
guaranty of the constitution these attempts would
be made as openly as were the efforts of the Puri
tans to suppress weaker religions denominations of
their day and it would all be done in the name of
God, as just now groups of reformers seek to cur
tail the privileges of others in the name of morals.
' The spirit of Puritanism is something always to
be honored and maintained in this country, but like
fire, it is a good servant 'but a bad master. We are
constantly to guard against Its encroachments.

Being a Brand-New Grandfather
By Herbert Johnson
The Greased Way
The grade percentage of the primrose path is so
great that those who start down it acquire such a
momentum that they are usually carried to the bot
om. There is he case of Sarah Cowan of one of the
first families of Baltimore, a society beauty and
favorite whose body was found on Sunday night in
a hotel in New York, and lay all day Monday in :
state in a morgue, unclaimed. Died of drugs and
alcoholism, her last night on earth spent with an
unknown male companion. 'v
Hers was a long journey from the Baltimore
pinnacle to the obscure morgue, but it was quickly
made. Not time enough had elapsed to rob her of
her attractions for she was yet young, but dissipa
tion had done the business. The way was lubricated
for an easy and a swift descent.
The moral is In the incident and not in the rela-
tion of it. She is only one of the thousands of women
and girls who have flitted down the beauteous path.
She must have seen some terrifying things along the
way but she couldn't stop, fleeing only to the mroe
horrible ones farther down. . . 7
Cheering 'News
A dispatch from Memphis, Tennessee stating
that the American Cotton Growers Exchange will as
sist in the fight to secure tariff protection for long
staple cotton' brings cheering news and further
brightens the prospect. " ' . . .....
Of the seven states which participated . in the
forming of the overhead organization of the co-oper-',
atlve marketing association, at Oklahoma City last
spring, all but Arizona are of . the so-called cotton
states. Each is represented by two . Democratic .
senators whose aid we thinks the exchange may en-
: list,' despite any lingering partisan objection - in the
south tohe protective principle. "''.' "' ' ' '
That objection seemed to be vanishing at the
time of the Atlanta conference last winter. A re--
Cent letter from Senator Fletcher of Florida indi
cated that he had given Senator Ashurst to believe
that his aid might be counted upon in the tariff fight.
Republican senators from the West who have'
replied to letters which have been sent them from
Phoenix have generally pledged their support of a
long staple cotton tariff so that we have reason to
, believe that protection will be granted this industry.
What the senate finance committee may do
about it Is uncertain. The West is represented in
the majority of the committee by Senators McCum-
ber, Smoot, La Follette and Curtis. We believe that
they may be counted upon in the committee strong
ly to favor long staple cotton, and would with the
Democratic members constitute a majority. But
party members of a committee comparatively sel
dom go against a majority of their party, so that a
majority committee repor frequently reflects the
views of but a minority of all the members of the
committee. '
i But whatever happens In the committee we are
hopeful that when this comes up in the senate, as
many matters are sure to come, long staple cotton
will be supported by ' a majority favoring substan
tial protection. -

The Schedule Needs Revision'
The schedule of reductions in appropriations
proposed by the tax-payers committee urging a spe
cial session of the legislature, we understand was
hastily prepared and was understood by those who
prepared it to be subject to modification. Many of
the items are impossible of reduction, however will
ing the legislature la special session might b'aUo re
duce them . A part of the money appropriated In the
regular session has already been expended or con
tracts requiring its expenditure have already -been
entered into. '
Other of the reductions would mean only waste
instead of saving. For instanme it is proposed to
divest the department of weights and measures of
all appropriations for that department except that
covering the salary of the officer in charge.
There would be nothing for traveling expenses;
nothing even for postage and stationery. The officer
would be confined to a bare room, to do nothing but
draw his salary, and helpless to earn a cent of it.
Then the proposed withdrawal of sustenance
rom the office of dairy commissioners is ill-advised
Justified only by the theory that this office in any
circumstances is a useless one. The question should
be not whether in the present time the state can af
ford the expense of maintaining the office, but
whether such an office should ever be maintained.
But we do not think that even the proponents
of reduction 'would allow themselves to be shifted to
that ground. It is indisputable that the office is a -
useful one, helpful ' to the dairy industry which in
Arizona was never in direr need of help. And cer
tainly Arizona was never in direr need of the dairy

We are la sympathy with the purposes of the

payer tcr thpv r. too treat. If we do not agree
with them as to the advisability of a special session.
It Is because we feel the hopelessness of any accom
plishment in such a session.
That hopelessness is not modified by the list of
Wjrcstd reductions which we think the committee

THE EX-LIAR
BY OR. FRANK, CRANE
(Copyright. 1121. by Frank Crane)

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 2.'
Recently the proceedings of a com
mittee of conpress were enlivened by
a clash between Representative
Johnson of Kentucky, and a brother
of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. the
slacker who has found sanctuary in
Germany. 'Ben , Johnson is no
stranger to affairs of this sort, hav
ing figured prominently In one some
years ago in which his opponent
was a Washington attorney or su
perior physical proportions. On this
occasion Mr. Johnson sought a wea
pon but was prevented "from doing
any shooting..
Such clashes appear periodically
to liven up the news of the day Tom
Heflin, now in the senate, while rep
resenting his Alabama district in the
house, was one of the principals
with Representative Norton of North
Dakota, in a fight on the floor of the
house, and also took part In a shoot
ing affray on a Washington street car
some years before that..
Mrr Heflin was worsted In the short
encounter In which he figured on the
floor of the house. Relations between
Norton and Heflin were very strained,
and came to a head one afternoon
when Norton walked across to the
democratic side of the house and
asked Heflin some question, which
quickly led to a physical encounter.
When they were separated, Mr. Nor
ton had Mr. Heflin quite helpless.
his rotund form bent backward over
one of the desks. This seemed to
satisfy both for there was no second
clash.
On another occasion Heflin re
flected .seriously upon the marks
manship of southern gentlemen when
he opened fire on a negro on a street
car and hH an innocent and inoffen
sive jockey in the knee. One of Mr.
Heflin's brothers, a surgeon, come
from the South to attend the victim
of the statesman's bullet. James K.
Vardaman, until recently senator
from Mississippi, caused nation wide
comment by an attack on a negro
porter on a train. No action was
taken against either Heflin or Vard
aman..
"Bob" Thomas of Kentcuky, like
former Senator Bailey of Texas, fig
ured in physical encounters with
newspapermen. Thomas was undone
by a mail sack over which he tripped,
the newspaperman perching himself
on the chest of the prostrate legis
lator and having all of the better of
the battle..
The Bailey fracas took place with
the late Captain W. Sinkler Manning,
who was killed in France a few days
before the armistice was signed
Manning was a husky chap, over six
reet tall, and the Texasenator was
not able to make mufn of an im
pression on him
Old Fashioned Satisfaction
Statesmen of old used to resort
quite freely to the dueling pistol when
they felt there was any danger of
their shining honor becoming tar
nished. Thomas H. Benton, for 30
years senator front Missouri, was
probably th-s most trequent partici
pant in duels. This was due to his
running a paper in St. Louis called
"The Missouri Inquirer," in which he
set forth his views boldly with no
fear or fa vol. In one duel he killed
his opponent.
FierV Andrew Jackson was always
in hot water of some kind, and took
part in two duels. In one of them be
killed Charles Dickinson, who was
dead shot with the pistol. Of this
famous duel ft is said that Dickinson
to shake Jackson's nerves, entertained
the party on the way to the dueling
grounds by shooting birds out of the
trees, and making other exhibitions
of his remarkable ability with the
pistol. Jackson, though, saved his
own life in a curious way.. He wore
a coat of extra fullness on the left
side, which deceived Dickinson. Dick
inson's shot missed Jackson's heart,
but hit Jackson, although he gave no
sign.. - Then Jackson shot Dickinson
dead, and not even Jackson's seconds
knew he was hit until he returned to
the hostelry where he was putting up.
On drawing off his left boot, it was
found to be full of blood. Jackson
was maimed f r life from the shot.
Jeickson's other duel was with John
Sevier, first governor of Tennessee,
who was one of the prime movers in
the formation of the proposed state of
FTanklln;.
One of Jackson's firmest political
friends was Thomas H. Benton, who
secured payment of the expenses of
Jackson's men after they were or
dered disbanded in Mississippi on
their way to New Orleans. This
friendship was terminated, though.
when Jackson stood as a second
against Jesse Benton, a brother of
Thomas. Later Jackson threatened
to horsewhip Thomas Benton. The
two Bentons and Jackson got into a
brawl in a tavern, in which Jackson
was chot twice and Jesse Benton
badly stabbed. . - .
Perhaps the most famous duel of
American history is that , in which
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr
took part. , Hamilton had been in
strumental several times in block
ing the political ambitions of Burr,
which the latter keenly resented.
Finally, for some pretended or real
insult. Burr challenged Hamilton to
mortal combat. Hamilton was ser
iously opposed to the dueling code,
but felt that if he refused to meet
Burr he would be deemed a 'coward.
When the men met. It is believed that
Hamilton discharged his weapon in
the air. Burr's shot struck Hamil
ton and Hamilton died from the
woujd the day after the dueL
Many other duels between well
known Americans are recorded.
DeWitt Clinton and Swartout set
tied their differences on the socalled
field of honor. Ctlley and Graves
fought a duel. Cadwalladex and Con
way, and General Mcintosh and
Gwinnett, of the time of the Revolu
tion, took part in such affrays-
Charles Ie. once second in com
mand to Washington, and formerly
of the British army, proved by history
to be a traitor to - America, was
wounded in duel by Colonel John
Laurens, of Washington's staff. Lee
disobeyed orders in failing to hasten
the retreat of his army across New
Jersey, and was captured by the
British, but his exchange was ef
fected because his perfidy was not
known. Eventually he was relieved
of his commission because .of an im
pudent letter he wrote to congress.
The Great Pacificator Fighta
Henry Clay once forsook the fields
of oratory and statesmanship to take
part In a duel with John Randolph of
Virginia. It grew out of the contest
for. the presidency In 1824 when Clay
was one of four contenders, the
others being John Qulncy Adams,
Andrew Jackson and William H.
Crawford. No one of the four had a
majority ot the electoral college, and
the election was thrown into the
house. As only the .three candidates
ranking highest are considered. Clay
was automatically out of it- He used
his influence for Adams, who was
elected. Later Adams made Oay his
secretary of state, which caused
great deal of comment. The Irascible
Randolph capped the climax of this
comment by declaring that the ap
pointment meant the "comblnatlon,of
the Puritan with the blackleg.." When
they fired the first shot in the inevi
table duel, both missed. Randolph
found his hot blood so cooled that he
refused to fire again, and there the
matter ended, without bodily harm to
either. t
Dueling has been frowned down
almost everywhere now. Occasionally
a duel will occur in France.but fatal
results rarely follow. German army
officers and students have a dueling
code, but in the students duels, a
least, all vital poitlons of the body
are so protected that nothing can re
suit but a few picturesque scars of
which the bearers usually are inor
dinately proud.
In every state in the union dueling
is forbidden, with various penalties
ranging from death to disqualification
for public office forever. In Texas
to this day, the governor on taking
oath of office, must swear he has
never taken part In a duel.
About a month ago, says Henry Asselin, one of my
friends, returning from Toronto, drew from his valise"
a mysterious little bottle; he showed it to me. f
"This," he, said, "is the big discovery of Dr. James,
Cotton of Toronto. It is going to play smash with the
world. Beside it the telegraph, the can opener, the Big;
Bertha, and the poison gas are poor. "
"This bottle contains a kind of ether, which ad4
ministered to a human being obliges him to tell the
truth. The man who gets a sniff of this will never be -the.
same. He is changed in reality as much aft Willie;
Collier was in the play, 'Nothing But the Truth.' His
memory is fatally perfect, the inhibitions or his judg
ment are paralyzed." ; , ; ,r
' How about a woman: 1 asked.
"Also," he replied: "only, of course, she needs a'
arger dose." ', !
He went on : "Lake everybody else, 1 bought a bo;- ;
,le of the stuff, but like everybody else I have never' 1
dared open it. The consequences would be fatal."
I shamed him for. his cowardice. I took the bottleJ
unthinkingly removed the cork, and before J realized; :
what I was doing I had got a whiff. ' ' ;

THE ONCE 0VE1
li By H. I. PHILLIPS UA
PEACE, PERFECT PEACE!
Congress has discovered that the
war is over and has made a pubic
statement to that effect.
The dealers in Ice cream, soda water
and orange drinks, however, will con
tinue deaf to the fart. War time
prices are still prevailing in most
parts of the country and there is as
yet no Indication that the soft drink
and cream men have changed their
opinion that the war was fought to
make the world safe for the summer
beverage business.
The war sent many things up In
the air, but peace brought down noth
ing except the ends of the ex-kalser'
mustache.
Slogan of the summer season: Eat,
drink and be bankrupt
Before the war the customary price
for an ice cream soda was 10 cents
some places sold them for 5. An ice
cream cone sold for a nickel and
orange drinks and the like were -'ip
ping to a thrlsting populace at 5
cents per goblet. Then came the grea
conflict, with the Immediate seizure
by Germany of all the Ice Cream
Mines and Nunt Sundae Forests and
Pink Lemonade Factories. The last
straw came with the blowing up of
country, and the poor dealers in said
products were forced to Jack up the
prices or sacrifice one of their limou
sines and country home to make both
ends meetj
The price was doubled in most
cases. Then the government stepped
In and imposed a war tax of 2 cents
per dime. This was a terrible blow
at the poor soda and ice cream men.
But, ever resourceful, they jacked
prices up another nickel or so, still
affixing the 2 to 4 cent war tax. Take
the orange drink man. When the gov
ernment demanded a tax of 1 cent
per B-cent drink, he Jumped the price
to a dime, thus making it one for
Uncle Sam and four extra for him
self. What could be sweeter?
It's a safe bet most orange drink
men still have their original orange!
And have you bought a quart of ice
cream lately, Hortense? There's a
business! And yet Rockefeller fools
around with the oil industry. Boy.
bring a pail of well water, please, and
don't forget to tip the bucket!
