Twenty Two HOOVER WARNS OF PROPAGANDA Terms Free Press and Speech 'Bulwark of Human Liberty WATERVILLE, Me" Nov. 8 (JPy Herbert Hoover today termed free speech and free press the "bulwark of human liberty" and warned the country to guard against the inroads of propaganda. In comber cap and gown, the former President, at Colby College exercises described propaganda as a "poison" nurtured by war and applied with refinements to politics. The antidote, he said, was "more free speech" to expose "intellectual dishonesty and the purpose that lies behind it." Hoover spoke at exercises commemorating a Colby graduate, Elijah Parish Lovejoy, who died 100 years ago at the hands of a pro slavery mob in Alton, 111., as he defended the right of a free press. An honorary degree of doctor of laws was conferred on Hoover by the Colby College.

President Prank lln W. Johnson Cited Hoover as a "chosen leader who served his nation in a great crisis without surrender of high principle to low policy; and now no less the militant patriot In spirit a follower of the martyr Lovejoy in teaching his fellow citizens to value freedom above security." Cites Action of Dictators Declaring propaganda, "magic formulas" and "potent catch phrases and slogans" played a key part In post war revolutions abroad, Hoover asserted: "It is a paradox that we find every dictator who has ascended to power has climbed on the ladder of free speech and free press. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own." Hoover described a free press as "far more than a publishers privilege." "It is the right of the people," he said, "but the publishers are its first line of defease. They deserve the gratitude of the country for the zeal with which they have driven back every attempt at legal restrictions." Three descendants of the Lovejoy family also received honorary degrees. They were Prank W.

Lovejoy, Rochester, N. president of the Eastman Kodak Company, doctor of laws; John M. Lovejoy, New York City, President of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, doctor of science, and Clarence E. Lovejoy, New York City, family historian, master of arts. Gov.

Lewis O. Barrows, Hoover's host for the night, and George Otis Smith of Skowhegan, former chairman of the federal power commission, were among those at the ceremonies.

The son, Frank Meizler, 21, told Magistrate Earl Smith his mother objected to a family with whom he'd become friendly, and slapped him when he refused to cut short a visit at their house. The case was referred to the family court. G.O.P.

What RO MARI has done for me is truly astonishing, and I can make that statement after three years of vainly trying to find relief from other things. This statement is absolutely true.

I cannot put into words the heartfelt thanks I have for RO MARI. I am still continuing with the small dose of one tablespoon ful per week. I still have one full bottle which I am saving in case a severe attack should occur to me or to some one known to me to be suffering as I suffered. Many thanks to you. Perhaps you can appreciate how much I recommend RO MARI.
