Tells Of Food Policies.

After dealing with the peace problem
the Premier touched upon the general
policy which would be inaugurated by
the new Government. with respect TO the
question OF food supplies he said:
The main facts are plain. Tho har-
vests OF the United States and Canada
are failures and the Argentine promises
badly. Russia is unavailable and our
own harvest is poor. while only three
eighths Of the normal winter sowing has
taken place. owing to bad weather. I'm
der these circumstances the Iato Govern
ment decided to appoint a food controller.
we appeal to the nation to assist the
Government In distributing our re-
sources so that no man shall suffer
hunger because somebody else has too
much. That means sacrifice. but the
men IN the Somme are enduring. far
greater sacrifices"
Announcement was made by the Pro-
mler that more drastic steps would be
taken regarding excess profits. He re-
fcrred also to the proposal for universal
mobilization OF labor. saying:
we propose to appoint Immediately
a director OF national service. The mill
tary director will be responsible for
recruiting for the army. The civil d.
rector will begin by scheduling all indus
tries and services according to their
character as essential or non-essential
to the war.
Certain industries will be cIassed n.
Indispensable, while others will be drawn
upon for men required either for the
army or for indispensable industries.

After making an announcement In re-
Nard to the naturalization OF shipping
the Premier said the Shipping Controller
was now comforting with the Admiralty
and h a he hoped II would be possible
shortly to announce not merely the plan
for more effective use OF ships on the
register but for the construction of ships
to a good he wastaEe OF waE
Dealing with the war situation. the
Premier said he had to paint a stern
but not gloomy picture. The Rumanian
blunder was Al unfortunate one. but at
the worst 1t only prolonged the wal and
could not affect II. IL might have a
salutary effect in calling the attention
OF the Allies to obvious defects OF or
g%anization. To prevent the RumanIan
situation from becoming worse they had
taken strong action In Greece. They
were taking no risks. They had decided

jury, OF which that corrupt and criminal
Agency was accused by. perfectly responsible
persons.
Did not the civil case likewise provide a
legal, convenient method by which ex-Judge
Arthur Powell, Commissioner Patterson ex-
Judge Sam Adams and those Atlanta Doctors
of Divinity could be polished up, and made
to look better?
Think Of what an injustice was done to the
Hearst lawyer, Clarence Shearn, who came
down here, studied the record carefully, and
gave Hearst a certificate to the effect that
there was no evidence against Frank!
If the civil case had been left unsettled.
and had been tried in court, all the witnesses
could have been sifted, and re-sifted, Just as
though the criminal case had never been
tried
And the defendants stood better chance to
win in the civil suit than in the criminal
prosecution because whatever mob had
convicted Frank had dispersed: whatever
intimidation of Judge, jury, lawyers and wit
nesses had existed, no longer exerted itself
anywhere.
Frank was dead: the girl was dead: the
old account was closed and balanced
Before another Judge, before another jury,
within altered circumstances, and under ex-
hausted excitements, the civil case, nu0lcino
the same issue, could be tried why wasn't it?
Ii [ had been Leo Franks father. or
brother, or brother-ln-law, or uncle, and had
believed him innocent, the Coleman case
should never have been settled out of court
Had [ been Luther Rosser, j ohm w. Moore,
Reuben Arnold, or John Slaton, and had be-
heved my client, Leo Frank innocent of the
murder of Mary Phagan, I would have vol
unteered my services to Franks family and
uncles, and the civil suit for damages would

the costs
Why was this, Uncle Sig Montag? Why
was this, Messrs Haas? Why was this,
Nessrs. Rosser Arnold, and Slaton?
You know why it was-you who attended
the trial or who read the official evidence
published in the September number of our
magazine.
You know that the defenders of Frank
dared not open the case again, else they would
be worse off than the criminal trial left them.
Rather than make~a bad situation still
more ruinous to them, the case was Settled
out of court"
The Strauses will be painfully shocked, no
doubt. Adolph Ochs and the Pulitzers will
regret the lost opportunity, perhaps
The Rabbls will groan> in spirit, and
realize that their confidence was misplaced
Mr.. Hearst must console his Shearn and his
Brisbane; for they, too, will marvel at the
settlement, which implies confession of
Franks guilt.
The Connollys, the Macdonads, and the
regiment of editors who reviled the courts
and people of Georgia because of the regular
legal conviction of Leo Frank may now see

supporting him may persist in their violation
Of the highest law and may disregard the
Fathers legal right to a FREE SCHOOL,
while they, Britain and his hackers, will
enact a law which makes a criminal out Of
the Father who cannot comply with the
terms of q school achich Is NOT Free
In other words, Britain may violate the
law, but Father mustn't.
A good many "Reformers' are built like
that
In the meantime, I will say this much for
the unforhnates who were not given the
advantages of education: they are not by
any means the most hurtful violators of
Law, nor are they our worst citizens.
The most injurious law-breakers are those
IN office; and our worst citizens are the idle
educated rich, who prey upon the daughters
OF the poor, and who maintain the class
laws which beggar the sons.
There is no personal issue between Bois-
ferrous Britain and his 'Mr. Thomas E. Wat
son., nor has there ever been, nor is there
likely to be.
But the official Britain has been a persist
ent law-breaker, and his contempt for the
Law has done immense harm to helpless
class who were put under his care, and whose
best interests should have been his first duty
Instead of acting as benevolent Trustee
and Guardian for the school children. he
has been one of their worst enemies, in that
he has sustained, with all his might, the
ubiquitous system Of Agh-p,5ced tert-6oohs,
frequently changed
The emily time | ever saw the man was at
a public speaking in Wilkes County, where
he heard me argue against this cruelty I'M,
Just system, and against the confscatiOn Of
the U0lne Of books which the State had COM
PEELED the patrons to buy.
Tens of thousands Of dollars worth of
property IN books, bought at the mandate of
By1tt05n and has hackers, has been c0nfscated,
by the changes ordered; and this confscated
property be found in the lofts and
garrets and bookcases of Georgia, all the
way between the Rivers, and all the way from
Yonah to the Sea.
1t IS an Internal shame, and Britain qcas
party to 1t.
Let him not too bitterly revile "NIr Thomas
E. Watson" if that "blaclz beast of false
public servants has at last, at za8t got a coal
Of fire on the terrapin's back.
Move on, "Bre'r Tar'pin!"
1t will afford us all great pleasure to see
you begin to make tracks.
You were an awfully long time getting
started.

rejected by the Legislatures of 1923
Since then, times have changed, and so
have the dogs.
They don't bark as loud as they used to,
because they don't get as much to eat
Still, | am with my Beated Brother on
this subject, provided he will have the law

floors OF the Legislature, to lobby against
free textbooks, we might have had them
several years ago.
Bully Britain and the Trust beat as 5q
one cote, and to my lasting regret that vote
came from Lincoln County, where free
school books would be blessing to the
schools
The man who misrepresented his county
and his District, and who voted with Brit |
tain and the Book Trust, was Senator1
Chenault
If the people forgive Lobbyist Britain,
they should send Chenault back to the Senate.
One of Brittain's leutenants in his fight
against free school books was Edward Mac
Michael, member Of the House. i
Edward admitted on the floor that he was
in the employ of two masters at the same
time; one being the people of his county, !
and the other being the Book Trust. !
Edward proved false to his people, but
true to the Trust; and his people discharged
him, but his other master took care of him.
II Book-trust Britain can be pardoned,
and reelected, Edward MacMichael should
so back to the Legislature to try again the
old task OF serving two masters with equal
fidelity
The Bible tells us that the task is impos-
slble, but Book trust Britain apparently
entertains different opinion i
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
In his violent attack upon "Thomas E.
Watson" our Book-trust Superintendent was
emphatic, in favor of compulsory attendance
upon the public schools; and he alleges that
Mississippi is the only other State than Geor-
gla without such law.
Poor old AIissssip!
No wonder she has to put up with such
Toh
Williams.
The Law already says to Father, "You
mustn't smoke but one pipe a day, and
mnsn't drink more than one bottle of Coca
Cola a day, and must not fail to wash your
self at the public vat before washing your
cow, and must not eat more than one hog a
month, and must not have more than one
pound of powder and one quart of liquor
month, but you must let me enter your
family circle and exercise your parental au-
thorlty over your children
You do not love your children, and you
will not do the right thing by them; and,
therefore, my Paternalism of man-made
Law, shall supercede that of God-made
nature"
This sort of thing puts Father in close
place
In fact, it Prussianizes Father, without the
Prussian redeeming practice of feeding the
hungry child, freeing him from tuition fees.
and furnishing him school house, teacher,
furniture, and books.
If Father must be Prussianzed, give him
the Prussian facilities.
In that event, it will be pleasant sight,
to see 10000 negro children opening the
States dinner-pail.
To adopt law forcing the parent to va
cate his natural parental position, is serious
nrOnOSIfIOO and State n
it appears that, after FREE SCHOOLS
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-04-22

that one fourth the victims Of
street accidents i'm that place
are under five years of age.
Another fourth is between the
ages Of five and Is years. Last
year in Boston there were half
as many deaths from street ac-
cidents as from tuberculosis
the great scourge.
The danger of such accidents
is Of course more pressing in
crowded cities than in smaller
places. However the danger
is real even in towns the size
of Freewater and Pendleton,
as the fatal accident at Free
water shows.
1t is obvious that autoists
need to take extreme care for
the safety of children of the
ages enumerated above and al
so that children need careful
instruction along the line of
safeguarding themselves. Co
operation is essential because
careleSSness on either side is
apt to result fatally.
