Is 1t u Smoke screens

To the Editor of The Times Dispa,ch:
Sir read your editorial concern
ing the alleged "slush fund" which
appeared in your issue of Sunday.
Why !: there such Il Willingness
to contribute to the Republican cam
paign funds? They seem to have no
trouble to raise funds. Mr.. Cox seems
asgrieyed because the Republicans
nave such q ready treasure. Has Mr..
cox shown where one dollar was used
IN corrupt purpose. It appears to the
writer that the amount raised by
either political party Is not the lues-
ton. but the use OF the same.
remember the senatorial primary
between the late Senator Martin and
governor Montague. Senator Mar
tins expense account in that primary
was over $4,000. twice his annual
salary as Senator. ] do not think it
was used for corrupt purposes
What has become Of the Dcmocra-
Tic platform. that the candidate can
not discuss It? Is his cry about RE-
publican campaign fund Smoke

by the Judge OF The Federal District
Court at birmingham against the president

vacated by them, thus preventing the af-
fected industries from continuing in
operation.
Against this form Of lawleSsness the
courts owe ii to the public, no less than
ito the property interests which look to the
law for the protection to which Justly en-
titled, to interpose with all the authority
at their command and it is one of the en-
Tcouraging signs OF the times that Federal
judges are becoming more keenly sensitive
of this vested JUDICIAL obligation.
The injunction. .issael by Federal Judge
Grubbs is an earnest of the awakened judi
cial sense of public obligation and the
power it commands, i'll that il covers every
act of intimidation and conspiracy to intimi-
date or interfere with the free and undis-
turbed operation Of the complainant's
