page twenty f 1-v-C + ur ibert ONE HUNDRED AND EIFTY YEARS Aco our forefathers secured the blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity. Today, are we, the people, allowing these liberties, which our great-great grandfathers secured for us through great struggle and sacrifice, to slip il1l0 oblivion? Are we right- eously upholding these liberties which have been the basis of our democ- racy? Are we outwardly permitting them to become endangered by the conflict which is raging across the ocean? To answer these questions and many more concerning our most sacred freedoms, we must clearly under- stand what our privileges are and how we should and must use them. First, how freely can we speak? ln the United States we have the right to speak our minds freely if we do not abuse the rights of others. lf, while speaking, we should make a false accusation against a fellow-citizen, we can be accused of slander. The punishment of this is imprisonment or a fine. Therefore, as long as we are orderly and non-abusive, we can say what we think without restriction. In reference to free speech, Socrates once said, 6'The sun might as easily be speared from the universe as free speech from the liberal institutions of society. Today, there is freedom of speech over the air as well as in public gatherings, in homes, and in schools. Withollt freedom of speech, there is no freedom of thoughtg without freedom of thought, there is no freedom at all. Freedom of press is another civil liberty which is very vital to our democracy. Wlithout it, we could not print tl1e pro and con comments of the people on everyday problems and happenings. However, freedom of press is also restricted. Putting into print a false accusation against a fellow- citizen is libel, and the punishment is similar to that of slander. Therefore, we can put our thoughts into print only as we use this privilege without abuse and harm to others' rights. After a long struggle, freedom of worship was finally granted to the people by the Bill of Rights, and since the date of this gift we have been free to worship as we please whether we are Protestant, Catholic or Jew. Surely we all should consider this a very sacred right because there are so very few countries where there is freedom of religion. In European countries, especially Germany, a person is often thrown into prison or a concentration camp without knowing why or for how long. Such a catastrophe cannot befall us in America because we have the right of habeas corpusg that is, the right of a speedy trial by jury. How fortunate we are that our forefathers insisted upon including this right in our Bill of Rights. Today, while other countries are engaging in a chaotic turmoil, we Americans exercise rights which are strictly forbidden to citizens of foreign nations. Therefore, Wherever we may be, let us not hesitate to stand up and shout, HI am an American. l'm proud of my liberty. DORIS SMITH
