Anti-Sedition Everyone seems to think that the next political campaign in America is going to be fought prin- cipally over the issue of the Constitution. At any rate, the Anti-Roosevelt forces, in speeches ram- pant with emotionalism and sentimentality, are charging that the liberties guaranteed the Amer- ican people by the Constitution are in great danw ger. Although it is hard to see where we have lost any essential liberties so far, the idea seems to be that if Roosevelt stays in office another four years, we surely will lose them. It is certainly true that really vital American liberties have been seriously threatened in recent years, but strange to say, there is a striking sim- ilarity in the bark of the loudest Constitution de- fenders and that of those who are urging that gag laws be passed to prevent radical propa- ganda. Hear the tale of the Alabama anti—sedition law. Passed by the state legislature with the backing»- of all things—pf the American Legion, it went into effect last spring in spite of a storm of pros test from liberal groups and, through a mistake, in spite of the fact that Governor Graves intended to veto it. Twenty-eight days later it went out of effect again, largely as a result of an editorial in the 'Dathom Eagle, an Alabama newspaper. The editorial ended like this: Therefore we advocate the overthrow 01' A13- bama's government by violence. We urge the citizens to arm themselves with shillalahs, set out for Montgomery and whale Hell out of members of the Alabama Legislature who voted for the anti- sedition bill. We advocate that they also be kicked swiftly in the after deck of their pantaloons. We October 1, 1935 No. 2 advocate that they be chased out of the histOric and chagrincd old Capitol and back to the dung- hills of their barnyards. After these ex—statesmen are thoroughly sub- dued, we advocate that the government of Ala— bama be changed from a so-called Democracy to one of Communism. Blood will be shed, of course, but capitalism and the curse of private property must be destroyed, all property seized by the people, and all profits to be shared alike by every. one—wwhite, black, old, young, competent, incom- petent, Christian and heathen. Although the anti-sedition bill provided a max- imum of one year imprisonment and $1,000 fine for advocating by word of mouth or in writing the overthrow by violence of the government of the United States or of the State of Alabama, the editor of the Eagle was not punished. On the contrary, his claim that he was justified by the Bill of Rights of the Alabama Constitution, was upheld when the legislature complied with the governor’s request to repeal the anti—sedition law. The Alabama Constitution states: That all political power is inherent in the people. and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit; and that, therefore they have at all times an inalien- able and indefeasible right to change their form of government in such manner as they may deem expedient. That no law shall ever be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech or of the press; and any person may speak, write, and pub- lish his sentiments on all subjects, being respon- sible for the abuse of that liberty. A good Constitution is a handy thing, but our freedom is really guaranteed only as long as we are ready to defend it. Wclcamcl Freshlcs, one and all! To death al’ Armour Tech.

III a: m Traveling on one of the locals in Arkansas is anything but pleasant. The railroad-bed resembles Ia huge wash- ‘board and the unfortunate travelers traveling over it are tossed about in the cars like peas in a football. Mr. Squinch, happening to be traveling through, boarded this local at one of the cheesebox stations, entered a car and stopped as if shot. The only traveler in the car was ly- ing in a baggage net slung from the ceiling. “Wou—-—would you please tell me why you’re lying up there?” asked the bewildered Squinch. “I was sitting down there,” explained the lofty one, “but I got bounced up here five times and so I stayed here.” .. is us “Wow! This is a downpour." ”Downpour? Say, in my home-town it rained so long that horses finally shied at anyone without an umbrella!” ‘1‘ r it The meanest man in the world. in the man who, though stone-deaf, never lets his barber know it. lb 13 a Kissing a girl is like opening a bottle of olives.
