OPPOSE ANTI-STREET SPEAKING ORDINANCE The Juneau local of the Socialist party Tuesday evening took strong ground against the enforcement of the anti-street speaking ordinance* and adopted the following address, which The Empire has been requested to publish: "While the Socialist party has no connection with the I. W. W., and has had nothing to do with the battle for free speech now being waged by that organIzationTn the streets of Juneau, it Is unwilling that the public should be allowed to believe that it approves 1 the ill considered course of the Juneau i city council, or that it could fail to I sympathize with any honest endeavor to protect a fundamental human right, | to whomsoever it might be denied. "The city council of Juneau, in do-1 nying a right exercised by Socrates In the streets of Athens, and by Jesus Christ in all the cities of the holy land, and by other agitators in untold numbers In every age, has emulated [ the courage and the sagacity of a year ling bull who confidently attempts to toss a locomotive from its track. aU.. aa..naI1 a# Tunnnn la oonnt. I lie tll> tuuuv.ll Ui DUiiruu to ovviu j ingly indifferent to the fact that the city of Seattle tried for two years to suppress free speech in that city, and was then so well convinced of the"hope lessness of the task that when Judge Humphries tried it again last summer, he succeeded only in convincing a! far reaching public that it was a hope less failure. The Juneau city council is seemingly indifferent to the fact that the city council of Spokane, after spending thousands of dollars in the at tempt to abridge the freedom of speech in that city, finally gave up in Ignom inous defeat. The city council of Ju neau perhaps does not know that ex cept in such cases as that at Boston, where Garrison was dragged through the streets by a lawless mob, and at San Diego, where potential murderers lawlessly and tyranically drove law abiding citizens from the town, have city councils succeeded in accomplish ing the desire with which the Juneau city council is imbued, and it may not have been realized by the Juneau city council that the outrages committed at San Diego cannot be repeated here, for the reason that the National ad ministration would be forced to bear the odium. J'The course of the Juneau city council is the more remarkable be cause it has been without adequate cause. There Jwas, when the city council placed this chip on the munici pal shoulder, no probability of any considerable organization of the I. W. W? and it is not probable now, except for the attitude maintained by the city council toward them at this time. The fact that an occassional blanket stiff with an I. \V. W. button on his coat has been seen within the city limits ofTers no sufficient reason for such overwhelming terror even on the part of the employers of labor and their representatives, as ought to have been necessary to impel a city council to deny a human right universally rec ognized since the dawn#of civilization. "The action of the local authorities has, as a matter of fact, had the effect of mousing a sympathy which other wise might have been denied them. The action of the city council practi cally sqys in effect that the working men of the community have not suffi cient intelligence to determine wheth er the ideas of the I. W. W. were good or bad for them, and there 1b always m YOU NEED GOOD EYES IN MODERN BUSINESS- i We make eyesight good; re lieve strain, and stop headaches. Improve your eyes and better your health.

Optometrist and Optician. to be reckoned with a deep seated feel ing in the hearts of the American work ing class that any tnfringmcnt of the right of free speech is a menace to human rights. n "While the Socialist party has no connection with the I. W. W., nnd may disagree with them In many particu lars, tho Socialist party does appre ciate the wisdom of the fathers of the republic who foresaw the danger of permitting the constituted authorities to decide what doctrines wore safe, and what doctrinces were dangerous for the people to consider. The local I Socialist organization has employed an attorney, nnd will test the validity of the ordinnnce In the courts. "By order of Local Juneau, "GRAFTON COLEMAN.
