Senator BOrah
Would Enforce
Constitution

WASHINGTON, April ga bill
introduced by Senator Borah pro-
vides for a fine of $4,000 and five
years Impeachment, or both, for
any officer or agent of the United
States in the civil, military or naval
service "who Injuries, Expresses,
threatens or intimidates any person
in the free exercise or enjoyment
of any right or privilege secured
or guaranteed to him by the con-
stitution of the United States"
Heavy penalties are also pro-
vided where an officer or agent
of the government attempts to in
terfere with any one who would
advance, promote, agitate for or
discuss any new statute of the In
tied States or any amendment of a
statute of the United States or any
proposition, policy or measure, or
any legislative, executive or admin
istrative action, the carrying out
of which, under the constitution of
the United States law, would fall
within the scope of federal juris-
diction or would involve an amend
ment of the United States consti-
tuition"

explanation, he told me to come
back in the afternoon as he could
not find a certain City Ordinance.
He did not consider my time prec-
ious, but it was. l had to work
and so / could not return in the
afternoon. / am not as fortunate
as Mr.. Faussett to have a steady
salary. l always thought that men
elected by the people or by repre-
sentatives of the people were SER
wants of the people, but if Mr.. Faus-
sett is sample, they are not, /
was mistaken. That same night
had a conference with the two men
who caused the accident, one blamed
the other and Collins said he was not
to blame at all.
One thing l don't quite under
stand yet is, whenever you talk to
the authorities whose duty it is to
prosecute cases like this they seem
to hesitate, and tell you "but then
you will get nothing out of it."
They seem to be more concerned
with the damage part of the case.
1t developed that my girl was not
seriously hurt while she was bad
ly shaken up, was in bed for three
days and could not walk very we'll
for several days as one of her knees
was in bad shape.
She had to stay home about ten
days before going back to school.
The people who injured her did
nothing to comfort her. The acct
dent happened April 10, and the
last time Ptolemy called was April
16, and we haven't heard from any
body since.
1t happened that one of the six
girls mixed up in the accident works
in the office of the Chief of Police
and the chief sent out a couple of
men to investigate the case. The
result was that Ptolemy was ar
rested. Why Collins was not ar
rested l cannot understand.
April 81 a hearing was held be-
fore Judge Shakespeare in Police
Court. The city had as witnesses
my little girl who did not know
anything about the case, and Col
Inns, who should have been on trial
himself. Charges against Ptolemy
were reckless driving, and the case
was dismissed.
1t developed during the examina-
ton of the witnesses that both
Collins and Ptolemy were to blame,
but Judge Shakespeare said he
could find no guilt.
I asked the Judge afterwards in
case the girl had been killed or
crippled for life if his decision would
have been the same; he said yes.
No further arrests have been made
since.
That property has first place was
brought out during the examination
when Mr.. Daley, attorney for
Ptolemy laid particular stress on
the question in asking Ptolemy if
his reason for turning into Cali
fornia was to avoid collision with
the other car, and he said yes.
This answer was very well received
by the Court and you could
see a satisfactory smile on all faces.
We know Mr.. E. c. Daley for a
very keen and bright man who is
well posted and so he must be

QUESTIONABLE
FOR Low WAGE
PROPAGANDIS1

There is great energy, time and
much money being expended in
propaganda trying to convince the
public that wages should and must
come down.
This matter has been discussed
by the Building Laborers and other
workers and they would ask these
propagandists and these boosters for
lower wages, through the Central
Labor Council, a few questions for
the ENLIGHTENMENT of the general
public:
If it be so necessary for wages
of mechanics and laborers to be re-
duced, why is it not even more
necessary and desirable to first re-
duce the larger wages or salaries of
superintendent, general managers
foremen, public officeholders, public
and private employees, etc.
2.-Why not also first reduce the
fees of doctors, dentists, lawyers,
notaries, hospitals. ambulances and
undertakers
3.-Taxes of all kinds, rents, light,
| water, transportation, telephone and
| telegraph service, amusements, re-
fres.hments and recreations should
| also first be reduced to be in reach
of lower wages. Why not p?
5.-The workers occasionally find
it desirable at times to spend little
money for candies, cigars, tobacco,
moving picture shows, etc; they also
believe that from the prices Of raw
material, dividends paid by manu-
facturers and the quality of moving
pictures shown that the prices could
also he slightly be reduced without
danger Of managers going to the
poor house. Why not reduce these
things before cutting wages?
4.-To reduce the cost of buildings
why not reduce the wages and COM
missions of architects, contractors
and superintendent; also the prices
of lime, brick, cement, sand, gravel
steel, ETC., before cutting wages OF
the men who do the work?
6.-Then we would like to ash
these propagandists which is besr
for the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fees
salaries and dividends for the few
or adequate wages for the many t.
sustain a decent and comfortable
standard of living?
There are many more questions
which could be asked of the low
wage propagandists and boosters
but if they squarely, in a straight
forward manner answer the abov,
six we will gladly forego the others
