"FREEDOM OF SPEECH"
Sir. —The vociferous advocates of "freedom" of speech are so blinded, by prejudice that they seem quite oblivious of the fact that decent law-abiding people, who form an overwhelming majority of the population, are quite averse to street propaganda in any shape. Therefore, the so-called freedom is really the infliction of a nuisance by a noisy minority. However, as these peculiar people are never more happy than when they imagine that they ar<making martyrs of themselves, 1 would suggest to the authorities that permission be given them to hold their meetings in the Outer Domain. There they would be far enough removed from the people who desire peace and quietness, and at the same time it would test the sinceritv and popularity of their claims. M.A.C.
