Profteers Real Slackers ans

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
beg a little space to answer NJ.
NJ. Prentis. manager of the Balti-
more branch of the Federal reserve
bank when he calls people who sell
their Liberty bonds -four flushers'
and "slackers."
No on" doubts the wisdom Of hold
ing on to Liberty bonds. We bought
Liberty bonds when we could i'll az
ford 1.-THE cost OF living went up
wages did not keep pace and some
thing had to be done to make both
ends meet.
Mr.. Prentis had better by far call
to account the food and clothing rob
bers that have been the direct cause
OF the sale OF so many Liberty bonds.
/ sold $3.50 worth of bonds. l would
rather part with my bonds than owe
people or deprive my family OF the
bare necessities OF life.
I can tell Mr.. Prentis there Is not
a drop of Stacker" blood in me or in
thousands OF other railroad men who
were compelled much against their
will to part with their bonds. Those
who have made IL almost impossible
for n poor man to live are the real
"slackers" and -four flushers."

tion and making the Federal judici-
ary elective. The demand for such
an amendment Is based on the fact
that a lifetime tenure OF office Gre
ates an autocracy which is invested
with peril to liberty. There is abso-
lutely no way by which a Federal
Court can be made responsive TO the
will and rights of the people. Tho
Federal Judges, appointed for life, are
superior to. and independent of the
people. who, in a republic, should hold
the reins of ultimate authority. No
official. Federal or State, should be
secure from the apprehension OF a
term-end housekeeping. a recusant
executive or member OF Congress can
be hauled over the Goals of disappro-
val by the people, then why not a
Judge?
One OF the chief indictments to un-
rest and dissatisfaction with exist
ing conditions is the fact that one
branch of our Government is not re.
sponsive to the peoples aspirations
and convictions of right.

We are told that we cannot legis-
