thrilling story of the rise of a little milliner to a position where she is able to dominate it

Our Rights
Constitution of the
the Charley Oliver states guarantees to each
fundamental rights. Thos
are to be exercised within tin
aries fixed b) law.
No man can assume lo be the law
in the exercise of his tights. No
man has liberty except He' liberty
that is guaranteed to him by law
while he Is within (lie confines of nb-
to law. When he
steps beyond the confines of law he
ceases to have tights except the right
of a fair nnd Impartial trial by an
impartial jury.
; We seem to have forgot ti n Die
Constitution and have entered upon
a policy of abuse of the rights guar
jenteed to us under the Constitution.
The Constitution guarantees to us
tin' right of free speech. That means
the right of appeal, of petition, or
protest, of trial, and of constructive
amendment to the Constitution ac
cording to I he rules of law. No gov
ernment, civil or military, can deny
u- the tight to petition, to plead, or
. to protest.
This provision or the Constitution
Is abused today, The term, "Free
Speech" is interpreted to mean un-
.1. bridled license lo talk.
There is a, vast difference between
speech and tall'. There is a vast
difference between petition and un
guarded, treasonable and blasphem
ous utterances. We do not need
any more free speech. We need fair
argument, honest statements, and
truthful utterances.
The Constitution guarantees to us
a free press. That, means the right
to own and to publish the news if
published accurately, truthfully and
fairly.
It means a pres., beyond t!ii' dicta
tion of any power be i' political,
military, or financial. We need un
der thai right a fair press, an honest
press, a truthful press, an accurate
press, an unbiased press, and a press
that recognizes that the reportorlal
and news COlttmS belong to the public
in which utterances be fairly, accu
rately, and truthfully reported.
The Constitution guarantees to us
the right of amending the Constitu
tion. But it must be amended ac
cording to the Constitution's rub for
amending it.
The Constitution must be respect
ed, obeyed and followed it this gov
ernment is to stand.
That a White Way for Poll Pierce
is practically assured is indicated by
the fact that already around thirty
light posts have been signed up for
bj local business men.
