It is the proper province of govern- ent to protect itself from disruption. is the duty of the authorities of nation to look well to its true tereat and to exert a repressive in- icnce upon any projects calculated weaken the bonds of nationality or stroy individual loyalty.

In general, however, large liberty ould be accorded the individual. One ho thinks strongly, who believes he es hi3 country pursued by insidious id disrupting dangers, has a right lift up a warning voice. Yet free- of speech should be granted to save tl(ose who advocate' rank eason, It should be possible for a govern- ent to outline plainly those subjects ncerning which reckless talk may forbidden. But the rules for the vernment of talkers or writers ould be carefully drawn and should early express the latitude to be en- yed by the public orator. Some very dogmatic opinions are Id by well meaning but entirely un- asonable patriots.

They are 100 per nt Americans, they tell The ews they hold, the ideas they ex- ess, the actions they endorse are only ones, according to their eory, which should be permitted in Of course this is nothing but nar- minded and intolerant egotism, ery often it proves to be sheer ig- orance. We have noticed in our untry during recent years a grow- disposition upon the-part of super- ne patriots to insist upon the sup of" free speech unless it has received their approval. This is tendency which should be resisted all men and women who love their suntry and the freedom for which stands. We need moderation, of turse, but freedom of and speech must not be tampered with.

This week it is one hing; next week will present somc- hirig else. In a busy and progressive ommunity the citizen who keeps yes and ears open is likely to find he'days pass rapidly enough to preen loneliness or the development of From year to year an increasing umber of the people of the severa in this and adjoining ountles have permitted their minds to roaden out and-to experience more han a passing concern in whatever orth while interest is under con- deration in the city or town. They re rapidly learning that anything eneral concern should attract the tin- '1(1 eh Interest of all. Such is th caching of the higher wisdom.

The more intensely we experience ie feeling of interest in whatever is ting forward' in our community the etter and the happier are we likely feel. Isolation is not good for any man or woman. It tends to -sulkincss despair. On the other hand, if we ecp turning an open and an Inquiring ilnd upon our community, its people activities, it various enterprises he happier are we likely to be.

TIMELYTOPICS IS AT LEAST one place not far from Altoona where it ould an easy matter to catch by the thousands if one were ib nded, pr, rather, were permitted. One trouble with flailing, particularly trout, is the streams where ey do best all run longways and fisherman' must follow the stream. The place where they are most cntiful just now Is In the specially nst.ructed streams at Pleasant gap, entre county, where the state grows em for stocking state streams after ey are depleted by fishermen.

There the streams are carefully con- ructed concrete dams or beds, into hch fresh water is running in at one and out at the other. The water is brought from the ountain streams in pipes. A' llsh of water is a dead fish and It is al live fish the state is growing at easant gap, hence the water supply ust be constant. The state has two supplies. From ch of the sources there is an 8- ch pipeline that carries the water the fish ponds into t'hou- nds.

of little trout are put and fed that they may grow big enough run wild when placed in the natural reams. The trout, unlike some other specica, rives only in pure water, hence they best in mountainous regions where water does not become polluted nd flows rapidly and thus remains esh. The. little trout are hatched from eggs in a building that la con- for that purpose. Since lives in water, it is also hatched water.

Once the tiny speck emerges from egg, he is a mighty lively creature id proceeds to eat and grow so that the time he is eighteen months he is anywhere from four to inches in length, according to ccies, and is very capable of look- out for ao far as food concerned. And that is the cause of the down- 11 of practically every fish. He is suspecting and when he sees a orni or a fly on the water, he does at take time to examine it to see hether or not there might be hook ncealed there and he is caught. From a more speck in the water, trout soiv.1 grows to be a minnow an inch or more and then the lit- fellows are transplanted. That is, ey arc taken from the incubator the specially constructed fish ponds the open and there they get more room to swim and dart )out and get food to make them ow.

At the atate hatchery, the little fel- ws are transferred from one pond another until they reach the age nd size for transplanting to streams hen they are caught and canned and nt on their way. It is rather a. costly operation but, hlle the people pay the bill, they an also get the sport and the fish taking advantage of the open sea- out in the open country. A TVI'ICAL INSTANCE. OWARD THE CLOSE of las week the 'wires startled th country by announcing the sudd, death of Martin B.

Madden, repre sentative in the federal congress fo the past twelve ycara from the Firs Illinois district, nnd chairman of th house committee oh appropriations This chairmanship in itself constitut ed him a leader in the house. Mr. Madden was a of Eng land, but was brought to the Unite States by his parents when he wa but years old. He began life as water carrier in a atone quarry at tl age of 10 and remained in that bus ness during the rest of his life, ha-v ing been the head of divers quarryJn corporations at the time of his den death. He was one of the leaders of tl majority party in congress and 1: death a few moments after he 1m been engaged in cheerful converaatl with certain of his Associations cr ated a profound sensation.

Durin his public lite he was of great ser ice to his country as head of th committee on appropriations and death la keenly regretted by men all partita.

These were chief dignitaries of the neighbor- ood and some of them at least were promotora of the Williamsburg irnace, the town's chief industry pre- dlng and during the war. Of course there -were other leading nd useful citizens. Among those most vfdly remembered by the Saunterer ere Henry L. J. Snyder And William Ake.

The first named kept a untry store in Williams burg.

The latter died while ie Saunterer was a small boy.
