...again, but apparently to was little purpose for the evil temporariy checked, soon increases to its old proportions. Cannot the thoughtless who are guilty of this annoyance keep in mind that their action disconcerts the reader or lecturer, and draws away the attention of the audience? A constant stream of men coming late often mars the first fifteen or twenty minutes of these public meetings in Sever 11, for the hard floors and wooden chairs of that lecture room do not permit the late comer to take his seat in silence, unnoticed.

When who say that a stream is not free to flow because it is frozen, we do not speak of the same freedom as when we say that a Negro is not free to vote because he is intimidated. For the Negro may still vote if he has cour-age enough to run the risk; but the frozen stream cannot possibly flow. Besides, a stream is not free to flow except when it is actually flowing, but a man may be free to vote and yet never cast his ballot. Thus by liberty we mean...
