Free speech is, of course, a safeguard to liberty. But free speech is sometimes confused with public speech and with a loss of the sense of propriety. James H. Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor, m the Washington Irving high school, New York, deliv ered a vigorous speech, which involved the state constabu lary quarrels in Pennsylvania, class misunderstanding, preparedness and the American flag. The next morning several of the leading papers, including the Times, quoted Maurer as saying: "To hell with the Stars and Stripes." There was naturally a feeling of indignation that a public school platform should be abused in this manner. It was taken for granted that Maurer had been correctly quoted. Mayor Mitcliel felt that the matter was serious enough to require investigation. At a closed hearing, con ducted by the president of the hoard of education, twelve witnesses were questioned, including two reporters. One reporter—from the Times—reiterated his statement. The other wavered. Among the remaining ten there was sufficient doubt, in the opinion of the examiner, to exon erate Maurer from the offense of direct utterance. That is, the speakei', although he might have used the words, or their equivalent, did so by quotation, the original ex pression being attributed by Maurer to a member of the Pennsylvania constabulary. According to his own admis sion, however, Maurer, later in his speech, used the fol lowing language: "When these preparedness folks ask where my patriotism stands in the face of the story I just told you, I felt like telling them to go to hell. The incident ought to supply a double warning. The Pennsylvania labor leader, on his own statement, made use of words not tending to smooth the way of the Penn sylvania federation, or establish harmony between the federation and the state police. He was guilty of impro priety, at least, in dragging into a sectional labor contro versy the subject of national defense, and consequently he risked the danger of misquotation. On the other hand, it is of the utmost importance that all speech in public, whether legitimately "free," or unpatriotieally violent, be correctly quoted. Justice to the speaker, whether agi tator, educator or minister, demands correct representa tion. But deeper yet lies the demand for protecting true free speech. 9$ KEEP AN EYE ON SILVER. Have you followed the recent rise in the price of sil ver^ In the past year about 10 cents an ounce. Who is buying silver and advancing the price? Certainly not the United States. Circumstances abroad, where in two years a debt of thirty billions of dollars has been incurred by the allied nations, may throw some light on this interest ing subject. Europe is hopelessly bankrupt aud the day of settle ment can be somewhat mollified if the debtors can pay in a depreciated currency. A long step in this direction would be the remonetization of silver. When John Bull was a creditor of the whole earth gold was all he wanted, but John Bull as a debtor is a different matter, and he would be glad to pay in silver, the only means in fact by which the enormous debt can ever be paid. Now here is the prediction: After the war is over the allies will remonetize silver. They are the buyers now. This alone will create a new value to all the silver on earth, at least five thousand million dollars toward paying their debt. In addition it will give a new purchasing power to the silver countries of Asia, Africa and South America. Ocean freights will all be in the power of the allies, and arranged for their convenience and profit. Trade destroyed by the war will be built up by giving foreign countries a new power to purchase. And where will Uncle Sam be? He will as usual come in at the tail end of the procession and shape his finances at the dictation of Europe. He will humbly accept his ad vances on account of the *war in silver at $1 an ounce, which he is now selling to these sharp gentlemen at 60 cents. Look out then for silver at a dollar an ounce. Look out for a trade combination against Uncle Sam that will put' Ms foreign business in great jeopardy. And watch Johnny Bull advocate the silver rehabilitation as the salvation of a ruined world, of which he will be the unselfish leader. Sugar is steadily going up in price, so that the world presently may have to take its adversity unsweetened. Ain't it awful Mjabel? HARRY'S WIFE &y M.R.S. £VA. LEONARD THE CULTURED YOUNG WIFE SUFFERS BECAUSE ANOTHER WOM AN HAS A HAT LIKE HERS. "What do you think? My milliner made another hat exactly like mine and sold it!" Bertha Folsom's eyes blazed with anger. "It certainly was very careless of her," remarked her husband with a . straight face. "Careless! It was Inexcusable. The idea of having someone else wear ing a hat like mine. I paid enough for it to have It an ex clusive style," she rejoined, "Yoo're right there," agreed Har i » * .'V ry. "You Bhould have had the pattern destroyed the way Mrs. Galt Wilson did," remarked the elder Dr. Folsom, with a twinkle .In hls eye. Harry tele graphed his approval of the Joke, but Bertha, intent on her grievance, did not see the point. "Why Is It such a calamity for a woman to wear a hat like someone else's when hundreds of men's hats are made on the same model and not one of them suffers because of it?" asked the old man whimsically. "Women's hats should be exclusive unless they wish to belong to the common herd," replied Bertha. "Men's clothing is classy because of the work manship of the tailor, or the manufac turer in the case of hats." "How arbitrary the dictates of fash ion are." Mrs. Folsom remarked. Bertha looked at her with an expres sion that said: "Much you know about styles." Mrs. Folsom no way conspicuous for her dress. 'S. ♦ TALKS ON THRIFT Savings Bank Centennial Series. + ♦< Thrift.

As a question in arith metic, a facetious inspector who was visiting a school propounded the fol lowing: "If a cat fell into a bottom less pit and climbed up two feet for every three it fell, how long would it take to get out?" The majority of the scholars sat silent, with & puzzled air, but one boy set to work assidu ously and began to cover his slate with calculations. The inspector noticed this, and at length said: "Here! Stop that! Haven't you the sense to see that the cat couldn't possibly get out?" "Oh, yes, he could, sir!" replied the boy brightly. "If you'll only give me time I'll bring him out in Australia!" The afternoon at the new neighbor's had passed very pleasantly. James, Jr., cried when told that It was time to go home. "Never mind," said the lady consol ingly. "You can come again." "It ain't that," said James, Jr., "It's the walloping 1 am going to get from Henry.

"Wasn't the workmanship of both the hats in question all that could be desired?" persisted the old man. "Oh, I suppose so." Bertha seemed at a loss how to answer. "It Is differ ent with women's clothes." "How different?" he persisted. "It Is the way they do," answered Bertha weakly. "Who are 'they' that decide what kind of a hat you shall wear," laughed the old man. "The same they' who dictate to you that you must wear a collar," retort ed Bertha. "I guess you have me there," chuck led Mr. Folsom. "I would not dare to go without a collar. I'd be a fool to try It." Bertha tossed her head In tri umph. "I think the difference is thlB: Men dress to be comfortable, so they will not be hampered In their work. Wom en dress to attract attention." "Now, Harry!" expostulated his mother. "Of course I mean the ultra stylish, thq extremists who go to all lengths in the extreme of every style." "I never could be persuaded that a stiff collar could be the extreme of comfort." Bertha's tone was sarcastic. "Oh, we get used to it," grinned Harry. "And we get used to the discom forts of our dress." "I do not see how you can, for the styles change so often." Mr. Folsom could not long stay out of the argu ment. "Is that why you women wear heavy white fur in dog days and in zero weather have the collars of your blouses open to the fifth rib?" asked Harry.
