By carter, elty, Changing the Constitution An Editorial by Thomas Jefferson (This was written by Jefferson when ho was president of the United States) YME men look at constitutions with timonious reverence, and deem t them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched, They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment, e T knew that age well! I belonged to it, and labored with it. It deserved well . : of the country. It was very like the pres- i ent, but without the experience of the present; and 40 years of experience in government is worth a century of book- reading; and this they would say them- selves, were they to rise from the dead. T am certainly not an advocate for fre- quent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfec- tions had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate our- Relves to them and find practical means of avoiding their ill effects. But I know, also, that laws and institu- tions must go hand in hand with the Progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlight- ened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their ancestors. Each generation is as independent of the one preceding as that was of all which has gone before. It has, then, like them, a right to choose for itself the form of government it believes most promotive of its own happiness; consequently, to accom- Modate to the circumstances in which it finds itself, that received from its prede- cessors. b { seaeeenemetntintane os hme = Karolyi Ungagged EAVING the United States, where for weeks the state department kept him Securely muzzled, Count Michael Karolyi, first Hungarian president, and distin- guished visitor to our one-time hospitable Shores, has crossed over to Canada, the new land of freedom. Now that he can say anything he likes, what dangerous thoughts is he voicing? The red flag of bolshevism over the White House? Not at all. He isn’t saying a thing not already well known to every ‘American who can read a newspaper. » The present Hungarian kingdom, he t Says, under Regent Admiral von Horthy, + is “extremely reactionary” and sooner or Tater a new war may be precipitated by ; the Hungarian junkers, a war in which «all Europe may again become involved. Think of what might have happened to this tottering republic of ours had he been allowed to say such things over he ‘The state department should at once make representations to Canada for permitting a liberal like Karolyi, who believes in free republics and all manner of things like that, to wander about unmuzzled. And Secretary Kellogg should call the press associations to task for bootlegging ‘thé count’s forbidden words into this coun- try. The first thing we know they'll be broadcasting some radical foreigner’s ideas on free speech, free press, free worship or maybe even something about personal lom. _ We can’t be too careful. “Stepping Out” RANCIS X.

Representatives ties, 410 North Mic office, 18 Tremont 2 months $1.60, 6 months $2.00, Ban n Ave; Prancleco New How to,Make a Communist UT in Honolulu two buck privates in the United States army have been dishonorably discharged and given long long sentences at hard labor. The sen tence of one is for 26 years, the other for 410 years. The charge against the two men is that they attempted to organi com- munist revolution¢ ury league, according to one pre association report; that they sought “to further communist dictrines,” scording to another, The punishment was fixed by a group of army officers, sitting as a court mar- tial. There is room for doubt as to the wisdom of these sentences. The army officers are not to be blamed for removing the men if they were creat- ing dissension in’the ranks. But it will be hard for civilians to justify the long terms at hard labor unless it can be shown that the men had an armed revolution all ready to launch and that such drastic measures were necessary to nip it in the bud It is hard to believe that this was the case. It is not likely the officers would ever have been roused from their after- noon siestas by news that the red flag V flying over the beach at Waikiki, even had the two buck privates been allowed free range. The officers composing this court mar- tial belong to that school which belie ideas can be “stamped out.” Perhaps they won't find it in the Army Manual, but they will find it written all thru his- tory that ideas cannot be disposed of in that way. They haven't stopped other buck pri- vates and other buck citizens of the United States from thinking about communism. They probably have done more, in fact, than those two privates could have done in a lifetime of personal agitation to fur- ther the idea. One cause for the spread of such theories is the harsh exercise of autocratic authority. Nothing is told about the two men, save their names, Walter Trumbull and Paul Crouch, which have an Anglo-Saxon sound, Both must be young, since one is expected to labor hard for another 26 years and the other for 40 years. Trumbull, the 40-year victim, would seem to have decent ir stincts; he endeavored to persuade the court that he alone was to blame. On the whole, two young men whose reasoning power was such as to give those army officers such a fright should have the making of exceptionally useful citi- zens. Their persuasive ability might be turned to the service of the country. It is possible to convince nearly any intelli- gent young American that the form of democracy established in America is the form best fitted for America. But nét thru 40-year sentences at hard labor! Fast Freight CARNEGIE STEEL COMPANY tow of 11 barges, loaded to a capacity of 800 tons each,, completed the 2,000-mile journey from Pittsburg to New Orleans in 12 days and eight hours. The run aver- aged seven miles an hour, including all landings, tie-ups and waits. The Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. recently moved a tow of nine barges from Pitts- burg to’Memphis, 1,196 miles, in seven days and six hou Thesé Mississippi and Ohio river barges thus covered 150 to 160 miles a day. Watching a long string of barges float- ing down a wide river the last impression you get is that of speed. But the two tows described traveled five times as fast as the average freight on one of Amer- ica’s largest and most efficient railroads. Thirty mi a day is the average of this road.
