Copyright, 1928. i am in favor of free rpeech if you are Careful about what you 8ay ?I hoar oo much these days about free speech. What has so many of these free-speechers got to talk about? I am free to say what I please I around my house, but I know before-1 hand that I have to take the consequences. Aa a matter of fact. ? I when I exercise my rights to free I speech, I am always mighty particular I about what I orate. j i i - I -r-Most of the folks who howl and I growl about free speech want to run I down somebody or his owu couutry-l If he demands free speech, you can always guess that he wauts to say something that he knows ought not to be said. He had to hide behind hiis rights (f) The majority of tbe men and women who belch forth their free I speech now-a-days are not going to I all of this trouble because of their loyalty to their country; some of them get well paid for it, others are pro-Hitler but swear they love America while still Others are just nothing but peeved, pin-headed, peanut politicians.. .of the static variety. ?If a fellow is working for me he of I course has a right to say what he j pleases about me and my business. I After he gets thru free-speeching, I have a right to do. what I please I about him. If I am wrong and he proves that I am wrong, there won't be any differences between us, but if I am right... .and he is trying to bust I me or drive my trade away or ruin what little character I might have ' left after having been in public business 40 years, then he ll have to get I Off my premises to enjoy his free I speech-making. ?The good old South- is inhabited! almost altogether by loyal, peaceable,! honest, American-born Americans.

I ?Dressing up Is a pain in the neck. As a matter of fact I rarely ever ! dress up. When I dress up on rare! occasions, I feel like every body is wondering what that boob means try-1 ing to look so nice. I htfve no tails: I only a tux, or whatever you call that! kind of garb that - has a regular I length coat with footdong lapels and a little vest tfiat has 2 buttons on It I at the bottom end that fasten*70T?rj a stiff-front shirt that is pushing yourl neck off and a pair of britches to | match with black braid running up and down on the outside of the legs. I I think they call it a tux. ?The collar that I wear wh^n I dress up has 6 saw-teeth on the left side, 3 J on the right side and 72 running around my neck. By the time I get half thru bowing and scraping and careening to the guests and visitors, I imagine that blood is flowing down my anatomy In regular streams, but when I get home And. remove the afflictor, I find that only the skin all around has been scarified and pinched up. I always?recover within a week or so, but ha've uNj^ear a soft cloth around my neck for a few days. ?Those stiff shirts that a guy has to wear to these parties and weddings ought to be out lawed by a constitutional amendment. It takes tha whole family to get one of them on "pa". And when you are trying to talk to some one at the ."gathering", the thing pops and cracks every time you open your mouth. Nine times out of ten, it you aint awfully particular, the little Wollworth shirtstuds drops out of their holes and either slide down your inner clothes or bounce out on the floor in front ol you. ?Mebbe when wo get like Russia over here we wont have to put on airs. The Russians don't dross up ever. Weddings and funerals and fiveo'clock teas (which they might have at the risk of getting their heads chopped off) and receptions generally require only the "A la Stalin" brown britdlieB and little sa wed-off Jumpers (overalls) to match. They say that those bolshevicks don't even undress when they go to bed. Combs and hairbrushes and soap are taboo. Man, what a fine country Russia must be. | Slugfest U Won By << Rock Hill Jr. To?m (Conttcz?d from first page) the fourth Camden had the slender kid up lu the utr, wheu after one out had been recorded, three batters went to first on passes.
