Existing Laws Adequate

Under those provisions, the following were held in various cases to be violations, according to a summary

prepared by .a lawyer interested in the subject:

Advocating heavier taxation instead of bond issues; urging that a referendum should have preceded our XGA of war; criticizing the Red Cross and the

M. C. A.; opposing an Iowa Congressman. because |

e voted for conscription; charging that we went into the war to save J. P. Morgan's loans.

It can be argued that people who did these things |\

were general trouble-makers, and that since it was advisable to get them out of the way once the war had begun, one pretext was about as good as another. But how about after the war? Some of the most ‘flagrant violations of civil liberties occurred after the Armistice. Attorney General Palmer's mass Red raids; expulsion of Victor Berger of Wisconsin from the House; suspension of five Socialist assemblymen in |New York over opposition of the New York Bar Association and Charles E. Hughes; suppression of newspapers—all those things occurred after the war. To pass such legislation as the Smith bill would

be to put a weapon in the hands of any officials |

|inclined toward political intolerance, and one that is not needed for peacetime purposes since we already phate adequate protective laws.

By TIM TIPPETT

RICHMOND, Ind. March 19. ~The famous old Evans homestead a‘ Spring Grove, once a noted center of midwestern Quaker activities, soon will (be converted into a temporary haven for European war refugees he historic 18-room house with its 25 acres of ground has been acq ired by|the newly incorperated Quaker Hill Foundation as the center

of its activities. .

home may become a training headquarters for Friends peace workers. It also has been suggested that it become a general Quaker headquarters, or Midwest Péndle Hill Pendle - Hill is a Friends training school for religious and social service at Philadelphia. ; The Quaker = Hill Foundation, which will work independently oi put in close co-operation with the American Friends Service Committee, is headed by I. E. Woodard, president of the Acme-Evans' Co., Indianapolis, and a trustee of the First Friends Church, Indianapolis.

Memorial to Owners

Mr. Woodard is a grandson of Issac P..and Mary Ann Evans, the original owners of the homestead. On the lawn of the old homestead wiil be a bronze plaque reading: “Quake Hill, a memorial in recognition of the lives and services of Issac P. and Mary Ann Evans.

The old Evans home was selected by the foundation because of its history. “It was nothing, during a Quaker meeting, for the family carry-all to dome into town and take back 20 or 25 persons to be guests of the Evans family overnight,” Dr. Walter C. Woodward, editor of the American Friend, published here, said. "Luke Woodard, Mr. Woodard’s paternal grandfather, was a prominent Quaker minister himself and he and his wife often were entertained “out on the hill” during the Seventies and Eighties. Originally the Evans place con-

THE STORY. OF DEMOCRACY

. By Hendrik Willem van Loon

(ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR)

| CHAPTER EIGHT ; IN a little book devoted (not too pleasantly, 1 “am afraid) to Adolf Hitler, I laid down the rule that “autocracy is invariably the result of bad democracy.” One could ‘of course transpose these two words and the statement would still make sense, for it is equally true that “democracy invariably the result of an intols erable form of autocracy.”

The theory. about “historical cycles” can be carried a little too.

far, but the available evidence of

the last three thousand years un-

doubtedly ‘points to a wave-like |

movement in history. |

"A Golden Age arises out of an era of hard and plodding labor.

It reaches a point of almost unnatural perfection. Then invariably, the people seem to tire of the exalted regions which they ‘have reached, of too m prosperity, of too-much fine fugue, too many exéellent pain many interesting plays, . na they grow| indifferent. They grow weak. Unlike their. ancestors, they are no longer willing to fight for their

own | good rights—or what they .-

used| to consider their good rights. Their neighbors, . still in the state of plodding and hard labor, cast| envious eyes upon the wellbeing and glory of the country just beyond their frontiers. : And. when they find out that those frontiers are no longer being defended, but have became paper lines of demarcation, - they will cross them at the first convenient moment and the Muse of History records another disaster. An Acrppolis: becomes a barracks, a famous cathedral is turned into a stable, a Grand Canal is lined by ‘a row of ruined palaces. © Or, worse than that, cities like Babylon or

nately was quite as icurable an individualist as his modern de- - scendant.

The history of the modern Greek kingdom, | ever since its establishment in the. year 1830, has been an almost uninterrupted series of revolutions and rebellions.

As a result, most of us obtained a completely distorted view of ‘the. history - of old Hellas during the era of its. famous experiments within the field of democracy. And once such an. opinion has gained a firm toothold upon ‘the popular mind, it is almost imposgible to dislocate it.
