FREE SPEE H.
In lhc present state of civilization -
ltion every liberty is bused to
a \ greater or less extcnt. The
libert of the press : and : ltlte right
of f free speech arc sometimes
prostitnt to base urposes. 1
At the time of the assasination
of President McKinley it was I
generally admitted that yellow
journalism was in p lrt respons-
ible for the tragedy ,
There is a man jim congress now
who should never have beets ? permitted -
mittccl to take iiis oath of office. . .
That man is Coiigrlssillau : 11e11111
of Ala bama. . I
In a speech at 'CuskogeeAla . ,
in the recent c\l11paig-J1 : \ in referr-
ing- to lhc. occasion when Booker
' Viashil1g'ton ' was entertained
at thc white } louse , he said :
H'l"l1Crc they , sat , ooseYcll and
t
Looker , and if some Czolgosz or
one of his kind had .thrown a
Lomb under the table no great
'harm would have : been clone thc
coul1try. " JI1 the same speech
he mil referring to the lynching
of negroes at Statesville , Gag
that it was "thc sending off a
fe.W" more republicans singing
'Nearcr 111) God to 'l'hec. " This
was a bitttal illusion to the death
of President McKinley who dicd
with the words of this hymn 9n
his ashen 1ips.
'l'hat such a man as this should
be a part of this go\'crnmcnt is
revolting . to every citizen worthy
or the IJt1l1e. : Free speech has
its evils when it permits all anarchist -
archisl to bccomc a law ' maker
