Councilman Craig of the Third ward said: "I believe that Mr. Smurthwalto Is perfectly right. Every man should bo entitled to liberty of thought and liberty of consclenco." Dr. I'owors T bollovo that Mr. Smurthwalto Smurth-walto has taken an hononiblo stand. I don't think thnt any church has a right to Interfere, ln auy man's privato enterprises. enter-prises. Dr. Perkins I don't think there can be any ejucatlon about that. I vas born under un-der the shadow of Bunkor Hill. C. D. Ives If this Is In America, and ono cannot havo tho right of freo spcoch and free thought, wo had better move out of the country, P. G Knoth I admire his stand. Ho Is standing by thu principles of his church, but Insists on a strict obcdlcnco to tho laws of his country. The.3o are but a few of the exprosolons received, spaco not permitting the publication pub-lication of them all. Not only this, but every ono who was Interviewed took tho s.imo view of the matter. |
