A plain citizen with a point of view might remark that persons desiring not to be mistaken for Communists or sympathizers had better take care not to court suspicion. After all, courts do recognize contributory negligence. So, granting that it is even a little more unpleasant to be mistaken for a traitor these days than in other times, Isn't it always incumbent on any plaintiff to shun bad company, meaning the commies? Another thing, the asking price in this kind of lawsuit varies in an enormous range and would seem to be fixed by whim rather than by any calculation of the victim's woe. Often they are professionals in controversy who draw lightning and then run screaming for their attorneys. In many cases they clothe themselves in the appearances of defiant sedition to invite the reliable scorn of patriotic men. In any case, a jury would be justified in denying damages If plaintiff had earned his unsavory reputation by offensive conduct all his life. The action for big judgments in these Communist and communism cases has' become a racket as distinct as some of the old personal-injur- y specialties. EXP INCREASE!

He was told that the cows that survive the winter in Norway will do it largely on dried fish. What their milk will taste like is Another question.
