MEDIEVAL WHITE of thè Eraporia Gazette JUSTICE H sound. himself under arrest one day about IN KANSAS i A three months ago because he displayed in thè window of his print shop a placard expressing his sympathy wittt thè striking coal miners of Kansas. * White’s only crime was that Ke sympathized jn print. Along xvith a number of other Kansas citizens who sympathized out loud, he was arrested on thè Governor’s order, charged wìth violating an injunction aimed to, prevent anv one from aiding or comforting thè strikers. Months went by, with White under arrest but offT on bail, patiently waiting his tum in court, when thè charges against bini aould be heard, with his roply. and whenehe could be adjudged innocent or guilty. But thè court at Emporia dismissed thè case against White, offering no explanation, granting White no verdict* Ot£er cases have been disposed of, but White, aster appearing three times before thè court, seeking trial, was refused it. This brand of justice which they dole ont fh Jvansas would have come as from some divine right prince of Europe back in thè darK ages. when it was thè accepted thing for kings to jail subjects who thought iudependent ideas, denying them hearing and verdicts until such time as thè king chose to relent. That hard-boiled mcthod of smothering opposition has no place in democratic America, even when administered in thè guise of public policy bv Governor Alien of Kansas through his attorney generai. Editor White is right in refusing to tolerate this feudal justice. Freedom of thè press can be denied only aster freedom of speech has been squelehed. Editor White’s tight in Emporia is only one phase in thè lasting truggle for thè rights of freedom •f exprc necessary to democracy. WORLD'S TTT is hard to understand what thè fall of a great GREAT I civilization means. How ean modern lise cease DANGER X tobe? The wamings appear ridiculous. It. seems as if a eivilization’s deeline must be by an earth quake or some other physiea! eatasfrophe obliterating buildings and railways and other material things of value. There are no barbarians any longer in thè world who can sweep civilization to destruction as thè Roman Empire was destroved. Why worry about thè scarcely possible appearar.ee of a world-wide piagne or holoeaust? If nature destine it, we eannot stop it, anywav. But eivilizations do rot. vanish simply through physical causes. There are moral reasous'always at work. The disappearance of modern civilization under thè breakdown of moral re straints would not mean thè fall of American skyserapers, nor thè stoppage of liroiferl railway trains. There would be no return to primitive conditions Qf living. What would disappear would be thè spirit of brotberhood. The eo-operation of souls who t'eel a common basis of bumanitananism would cease to exist. A new civilization of ruthless strength and cunning would be implanted on thè old. Those most adaptd to thè hrutalities of lise would attain thè highest- positions. The sensitive spiritual temperament would expire. Higher buildings and faster trains might be produced; but thè ppirit of lise would be obliterated. This is thè danger confronting thè world today. It was viv idly seen during thè days of thè World War when thè cause of thè inaile d fist seemed to be winning. It is forgotten now, becanse thè influence is more insidious and not so brntally apparent. But, thè perii is here and threatens America as it does Europe.

A law violations show to what an enormons ex tent thè “dope” evil has grown in thè TTnited States. Despite thè most strenuous effort to stamp out thè evil, narcotica stili are sold in large qnantities. The fact that dmgs take up a verv sma'Ll amormt, of apace makes them easy to hide and transport. An example of this was bronght to light in California recently, wbere it was sound that deliverie9 of “dope” were being made by means of carrier pigeons. Unless stamped out, thè narcotie habit will spread until it becomea a serious menace. Only through thè most energetio enforeemenfof thè stringent laws now in existence can it be checked.

Public Opinion

Playing on Streets To the Editor of The Times I think evcry' pedestrian, as well as automobile drivers, shouid be made to regard the law, for they can make it miserable for the driver in more ways than one. 'They flock togother at Street crossings and stand in the middle of the Street waiting for care instead of w-aiting on curb in loealities vvhere there are no safety rones. All paxents who allow their children to play in streets or hop on automobile should be haled into court. Then they would ehastise their children instead of cursing the drivers when they complain to parente, as is the case with many parents. The children have been knowu to see autoniobiles coming and form a ebain across thè Street. Then \vhen you stop, they’ run and laugh at you. The parents when lnformed of their actions curse you. It is almost impossiblo to drive on some streets on Saturdays, Sundays or aster school hours. Parents should be punished for these offenses, which would restili in a discontinuance of the practice. The city haa provlded playgrounds for children. them use them and not the city' streets for ball grounds and other playgrounds and parents be made to keep the little ones in off the city streets.
