JURY TOLD TO
UPHOLD RIGHT
OF FREE SPEECH
SALEM, Mass., Nov. 10.—Judge
Quinn in the superior criminal court,
i in giving Hie Haverhill riot case to
the jury at Lawrence yesterday and
instructing them to report their ver
dict here today, told the jurors that if
the evidence satisfied them that the
defendants—Mayor Bartlett and the
four aldermen of Haverhill—had
knowledge of an assembly that dis
turbed. the peace of mind of the com*
munity, put people in fear, endanger
ed property and created a breach of
the peace, then it was the defendants’
duty not to placate the gathering, but
to disperse it.
The judge further charged the jury
that it was its duty to uphold the
right of free speech. This country is
founded on the right of free speech,
said he, in pointing out that Thomas
E. Leyden of Somerville had a per
fect legal right to express his belief
and criticisms in the lecture which
the mob prevented him from giving
in the Haverhill city hall auditorium
on the night of April 3, and which
led to the grand jury indictments
against the five city officials for al
leged neglect to suppress an unlaw
ful assembly.
Regardless of whether the gather
Cings at the city hall auditorium Sun
day afternoon, April 2, when Mr.
Leyden gave a lecture, and on the
following night, when he was unable
to continue his talk because of the
disturbance, were tumultuous and
riotous, continued the judge, the de
fendants still were culpable if the
lecturer was prevented from deliver
ing his address.
During his charge to the jury the
court said “Consider the case fear
lessly, conscientiously; deal with it
fairly and dispassionately. The first
right of a citizen of this country is
the enjoyment of public peace and
law and order, and its preservation is
his first duty.
“You may have your personal feel
ings, but you will not let your feel
ings warp your conscience. In your
consideration of the cases permit no
’reference to the matter of religion;!
permit it to be the cause of no dis- 1
sension or ill will.
“Any gathering that is calculated j
to cause a breach of the peace is an J
! unlawful one. Peace is that invisi-1
, ble sense of security which we all
| feel.' It is the basis of government
.itself; the protection of property, life
and home; that tranquillity which we
must have in order to perform our J
daily duties. That peace may be j
broken without a word being spoken j
if a gathering, by force of numbers, ;
disposition or intimidation, so con
ducts itself as to cause alarm to your
feeling.-, or mine.
“There is no question but Leyden
| had a right to speak, whether his in
; tended expressions were disagreeable
to any portion of the community. Ob
jection did not authorize any one to
interfere. Our country is based upon
the right of free speech. If there is
any criticism of the church or state
there can be no gag placed in the
mouth of any one who does it law
fully. It may be that this expression
is calculated to be a breach of the
peace, in which case there are ways
of meeting it, but not by surmount
ing the law.
“It is claimed that the gathering j
was to prevent Leyden’s speech. If it
was out there for that purpose it was
; unlawful.”
They do say Felix Brown is here to
stay and the 25 per cent reduction sale
on clothing will close Saturday night.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—Following
the announcement by the California
State Bakers’ association that after
Nov. 1 the price of bread in California
would be advanced from five cents to
six cents a loaf, this organization has
begun a statewide circulation of peti
tions to President Wilson calling for
an embargo on wheat and flour.
The petitions call attention to the
shortage of the grain crop of the
world, and especially of the United
States, and to the exportation of large
quantities of wheat and flour from the
United States, resulting in the rise of
the price of wheat to a point higher
than it has been at any time since the
Civil war. In view of the fact that
these high prices result in hardship to
the people of the United States, re
cites the petition, the president of the
United States is requested to place an
embargo on the exportation of wheat
and flour from the United States.
An increase in the price of bread
rather than a reduction in the size
or weight of the loaf is made neces
sary in California by the fact that the
state sealer of weights and measures
who is empowered by statute to do
so, has fixed the standard weight of
the loaf at 12 ounces or multiples of
that weight. In other Words, bread
may not be sold in loaves that weigh
less than 12 ounces each. This was
done as a part of a general plan to
standardize the weight, measure, sale
and marketing conditions of the com
mon objects of barter. If the price of
bread is advanced under this law, it
must be done openly, the consumer
always being aware of the exact price
that he is paying for the bread.
At the office of . the sealer of
weights and measures of San Fran
cisco some doubt was expressed as to
the ability of the bakers’ association
to enforce a price of six cents, partic
ularly in this city. It was thought
that there are a sufficient number of
bakers w^io are not members of the
association, who are willing to sell
bread at five cents, to make the an
nouncement of the association inef
fective.
The bakers call attention to the fact
that the price of hard wheat our has
advanced about $1 a barrel within
the last few days making the price
now from $8.60 to $9 a barrel to the
baker. Although the flour from which
bread is made is composed of a blend
of the hard wheat flour, quoted above,
with cheaper flour, the bakers say that
at the present prices they cannot sell
bread for 5 cents. The 5-cent loaf now
costs the bakers, they say, 3 cents,
and this is sold to the grocer for 4
cents, that leaves a profit of 1 cent a
loaf, which they say, is too small a
margin. According to these figures,
those bakers who sell their own prod
uct direct to the consumer would make*
2 cents a loaf.
UNDERSEAS MAIL SERVICE.
WASHINGTON, D. C.— The post
office department is prepared to ac
cept a proposal, submitted by Count
con Bernstorff, the German ambassa
dor, that mails between this country
and Germany be transported in mer
chant submarines. Announcement to
this effect was made by Otto Praeger,
second assistant postmaster general.
The proposal is that not more than
’00 pounds of first-class letter mail
t>e carried by each German merchant
submarine leaving an American port,
it the regular steam liner rate. The
proposal was made that submarine
nail be placed in special containers,
>ut the postoffice authorities rejected
;hat, saying the mails could only be
landled with the regular equipment.
3ount von Bernstorff will confer
vith postal officials within the next
lay or so to arrange final details.
Jerman officials hope that the plans
an be completed in time for the
)eutschland to carry the first mail
hipment on her second return voy
«e.
German embassy officials say the
ilan would provide the first uncen
ored mail service from this side of
he ocean to Germany since the be
ginning of the war, and would have a
naterial effect on the exchange of se*
urities between the two countries.

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
