REFUSED THE PLAZA. Liberty of Public Speech Denied in Sac ram en to. "The A. P. A. delegation which was refused the use of tbe city Plaza to pronounce a tirade against a certain religion, should cling to the comfort ing reflection that a more desirable environment could have been con ceived. The Plaza is covered with a thick matting of grass, and the grass happens to present the most obiea tionable quality of being a rich and suggestive green." "B. F. Hudelson, state president of the A. P. A., will deliver an address at Pythian Hall this evening." The above items were clipped from the Sacramento Bee of last Wednesday They contain meat for a patriotic ora tion, and a call to arms possibly, if di gested in the mint of facts. President Hudelson was invited to address the citizens of Sacramento on the princi ples of the American Protective Asso ciation. The Ike has been such a strenuous advocate of free speech and a free press the latter of which it has vilely prostituted that it was pre sumed that even the ignorant bigots would not object. It was expected to hold an out-door meeting, but it seems that these Intolerant bigots have even boycotted the free air of heaven, and - 1 the narrow-minded, cowardly, brow- beaten trutteet refuted to allow pa trlollc teotlment to be oiwnly ex pressed to the public plaza. When the. editor of tbe lie tald that the refusal wa to prevent "a tirade againtt a cer tain icligUm," he kno.; he w a utter ing a falsehood, for the ttate prettdent baa never been guilty of any tuch ac tion. Tbe suggestion tnat the grata wa not tho proper tbado "a rich and tuggettlve green" tollt the ttory of the refusal to grant tho liberty. The Hibernian Micka emboldened by the tucces of John Ireland and the lloeo for alander granted Peter Vorke under the hyocrllical cloak of religion and false patriotism, have boyoottod tha free air of heaven, and tho Jlee and tha city trustee have bowod the knee. Thl Plaza I a public common. No . a 1 1 . B one bat ever Men reiusou m use lor public meetings before, and It ha been reserved for a cowardly, senile and pitiable majority of the city board of truMteot of Sacramento to cringe before tbe jm power and forbid patriotic principle! to lo dltcussed In the open air of heaven within the prlott-rlddea corporation. "Oh, thamu, where la thy blunhy" t'fifiiriu'a Slandard. Control ef the I'rlttiU Gone The hierarchy of Qaobeo have manl. festly lost their hold In thtngt political. They did all In their power to make the people voto against Laurlor, and the people voted for Laurler In much larger number than they ever voted for any political leader, night under the nose of tome of tho most violent prelates, the people voted just as they pleased. For year we have had grave doubts at to whether tome of the state ment made about political power of the Frenoh priesthood were correct. Score of time tho people of Ontario have been told that Qunboo Is tbe most priest-ridden country in the world. It may have boon at one time; It certainly Is not now. All the people needed wa a loader who refused to allow the hier archy to take him by the throat. They got that loader In the person of Wil fred Laurler, and last week showed the result. The hierarchy have beon taught a lesson that should do them for the renalndor ol their live. We In Ontario may well stop pitying Que bec, and ask ourselves whether after all thre Is more political Ireodom in this Protestant province, man in tne province that has so olten been de scribed as In bondage to Home.
