Unless we are willing to sacri- fice our traditional form of govern- ment we must defend this liberty. That is has been menaced more than once and seriously in the last 15 years cannot he denied. The courts through "constructive contempt" proceedings, Legisla- tures in such measures as the famous Minnesota "gag" law per- mitting the suppression of a news- paper by injunction, scores of oth- er instances, all tend to prove that those who warn against abridging the liberty of the press are not shouting "wolf" or fighting straw - men. In recent months government departments have attempted to -control and curtail the issuing of information to reporters. This has happened for years in cities, states and the national government. There are few public officials, from a local police chief to the highest in the country who would not welcome the chance to con- trol both the news and opinion which the newspapers publish. Senator Schall of Minnesota has performed one public service of Importance by introducing a res- olution in the Senate calling for the naming of a special commit- tee to inquire into all efforts to keep the news of what is happen- ing from the public. Such a committee can do no harm and may do a great deal of good. The Senate should adopt the Schall resolution without delay". In the Gallery They Shot First While the first public reaction to the killing of Clyde Barrow and his gunWoman, Bonnie Parker, may be satisfaction that these murder- ous bandits were wiped out by the bullets of Texas and Louisiana peace officers, it really would have been more effective if they could have been captured, convicted and duly sentenced, A shooting does not carry the same sense of vindication of the authority of the law as an execu- tion or a life sentence. However, these criminals were determined not to be taken alive, as their refusal to halt and the small arsenal found in the bullet riddled car proved. That being the case, it is well the officers shot and. shot first, since, they knew with whom they were dealing and could fire with- out endangering any bystanders as the bandit's car came whizzjng •down the Louisiana road. against the cold. Every few hours he has to brush off t h e instru- ments on which he is relying for the scientific success of his long isolation. One feature of this oper- ation is scaling a 12-foot pole to scrape the hoarfrost off the wind recording instrument, With a /wind blowing this is a task much ileas- anter to read about than to Exper- ience. I Admiral Byrd believes his rec- ords will show this to be the cold- est spot on the globe on which official tests have been made. Si- beria has long, had the distinction of being the earth's ice box, with temperatures on record'as low as 80 degrees below zero. For steady, day after day cold, however, it seems likely that the Byrd winter Quarters will take the prize. Even at Little America, 125 miles away, the weather is comparatively mod- erate, at 52 degrees below zero. Given the kind of temperature which gave Northern New York the chills only three months ago, Admiral Byrd would no doubt feel like donning his ducks and straw hat. At any rate, he is in no dan- ger of dying of monotony in his lonely vigil; this fate, which gave the public so much concern, is the last that is likely to overtake him. Do You Remember When? Scanning Journal Files of 15, 25 and 30 Years Ago May 31, 1919 Recorder D. H. Corcoran was in Canton today. A Twilight Baseball.

The league is composed of the following teams : The New York Central, Company D, Postofcice, Clerks, Forresters and the Knights of Col- umbus. Questions and,, Chores at the South Pole The problem of what to do with his. spare time apparently worries Admiral Byrd, in his shack Sown near the South Pole, less than it does the folks hack home. At pr6s- ent„ the little matter of keeping his weather instruments in opera- tion I n a temperature of 72 degrees Mow zero is good for almost 24 hours a day. In his radio messages to the party at Little America, Admiral Byrd tella of Ms ceaseless, battle Q. the DyCS United StaiP-. own building in Soviet the Embassy Russia? A.

A German submarine which was surrendered to the United States alt the close of the war came up the St. Lawrence River last night and docked at Ogdensburg where it was exhibited to the public.
