WHY THE DEMAGOGY ABOUT
"BIG BIZ AND THE COURTS

From the Boston Herald.
Then the labor unions also have
recourse to Wall street when ready
money Is scarce and cash is needful
Denunciation Of big BIZ" continues,
to be the practice OF the labor or
ator. but when the labor manager is
in the midst of a grapple with' e
powerful corporation he goes to the
money marts and gets the loan hel
requires without even giving secusr
ity. There is no reason in the world
why labor should not DO this. It isI
perfectly proper TO negotiate a loar
II the men with the money are will
ing to make the loan.
And the labor unions also are 60

money The labor bank in Cleveland
will be functioning presumably be
fore a great while. and its directors
and officers will watch the market
reports and discount paper and|
make loans and collect interest justl
ike the predatory banker in wall
street and State street and La Sale
street, against whom the labor ags4|
tators have inveighed and will con
tinue 10 inveigh. This, too is proper
enough. Neither in law nor logic al
there any reason why a group oil
labor men or a labor organization
should not 60 into the banking busi-l
ness, provided the capital is avail
able and the managerial ability
obtainable.
Also. the labor unions from time
to time go to court with their cause.
Some time ago labor resorted to the
Injunction in a strike OF the gar
ment workers and a judge seized tn 4
opportunity 70 point ont the fact
that the law does not have oneI
rule for the employer and anothet7
for the employe." Only a few days
ago the railway shopmen went 20
the courts for an injunction to pref
vent the Attorney General OF the
United States from enforcing per-
anently the temporary decree which4
he had obtained in another Federal
court. And. Of course, this is right
and proper. Court action Is bettes@
than the strike and logic and law
better than force in the adjudication
Of all industrial disagreements.
Only labor should be consistent.
Mr.. Gompers should not continue
his vociferations that God must
save labor from the courts" And

WINTER BUSINESS

re bus,rass going TO slow down this winter? Many are
il wondering After hard times, prosperity seems toe
good be true
All of the basic signs point to continuation OF 'h'
steady Industrial revival now under way Most en-
couraging OF these signs s big freight trac being
handled by the railroads.
In the two ended September sS' latest nsures
available. the number of cars loaded with revenue
producing freight on all railroads compared with the
corresponding period of previous years as follows
1922. .1els.21o cars
1921..................1 .1f2F,lsS cars
ls2O..........-.......1s .1ss9,275 cars
1g1e......-..........1ss .1ssO,ss2 care
you'll observe that 1s1 OF freight are moving Tor
each 1919 cars in 1919 during hte big boom
Business doesn't haul lot Of freight around the
country unless It expects TO 1t, work up into
manufactured products That means Jobs in Delaware
and other States The stage being set TO keep every
one busy
A car shortage is developing in quarters. This
bad thing for business. but Il is also good thing
for It shows that there is business than can De
handled.
In one recent week the railroads were asked to FUR
nish so many freight sdngs that they ran short
Sc 600 fewer than what the shippers needed.
In the same week there shortage OF $4,000 coal
cars At other points there surplus OF l7e14
cars but these couldn't be rushed 20 where they were
needed as fast they needed
All OF this feverish activity the railroads looks
mighty comforting TO any one who remembers during
depression how stood sdetracks, scoumulatns
rust.
The old business machine is moving at last and get
ting into high speed. Sometimes the unexpected hap
pens so there might setback but nothing in sight
makes that seem probable.

the same line that will penetrate easily to brain;

MUST AMERICA EAT IFS WORDS?

l LAQAAA l4lb wow YIN I1tA csAus
This Government expects and re-
quires reciprocal treatment for its
vessels in the ports of other coun-
tries"
That terse and honest statement
Of the policy of the United States
was made by President Cleveland S
Secretary of State. Mr.. Bayard, in a
r test to Great Britain in 1889. It
was not startling declaration then,
| for 1t only echoed one of the cardi
nal principles OF international law.
But IT would be a startling declara-
ton if the United States uttered IL
today or any day until It has re-
ceded from the position it assumed
under the Daugherty ruling that for
eign essels carrying liquor-wheth-
er as cargo or ship stores, whether
loose or sealed-shall not enter
American waters.
We of all the nations have fought
hardest for the rights of our ships
on the high seas and in foreign wa
ters. The victories we have won
have been those of nationalism. The
shelves Of our State Department are
stacked with the reports of our many
contentious for liberal reading of the
law OF nations. Only now is this
country in danger of repudiating
what 1t has said and done on behalf
Of its ships in foreign waters; in
danger Of finding itself. outside the
law of nations; in danger Of reprisal
from its old friends.
Thus far the only argument back
ing the .Daugherty opinion has been
the declaration that the United
States can make any laws that II
likes concerning its lands and wa
ters. Literally. that is true. Actual
ly. It is impossible unless the United
States should decide 10 cut itself
off from all communication and
commerce with the outer world and
accept the consequences of that
action.
In a dispute with Spain in 1852
the American Department of state
laid down, in language perfectly ap-
plicable to the present case of the
Daugherty opinion, the views, of this
country on the port regulation of
foreign vessels. This document,
written by the Acting Secretary of
State. Mr.. Conrad, was addressed
to our Minister to Spain, Mr. Bar
ringer, and read as follows:
you will state that this Gov
ernment does not question the
right Of every nation TO pre-
scribe the conditions on which
the vessels Of other nations may
bs admitted into her ports. That,
nevertheless. those conditions
ought not TO conflict with the
received usages which regulate
the commercial intercourse be-
tween civilized nations. That
those usages are well known and
long established, and no nation
can disregard them without CIV
ing just cause of complaint TO
all other nations whose interests
would be affected by their viola
ton"
These words OF protest. uttered |
by the United States, could be utter |
ed today to the United States by
England and France and every other |
Government whose commerce and !
customs are threatened as a result
OF the Daugherty opinion.
If Washington should carry out
the proposed seizure, search and for
teiture of honest foreign ships !
bound here on no bootlegging er-
rands but carrying liquor as they
have carried 1t for hundreds Of
years. then American diplomacy vii
experience the sensation of having
ts. own words rammed down Its
throat.

GONIPERS WOULD DESTROY
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION

| UNITED STATES tONSIIIDIlON
From the Spokane Spokesman.
A constitutional amendment pro-
posed by the executive council 81
the American Federation Of Labor,
and which, Samuel Gompers an
nounces, will be introduced in Con-
gress "at the earliest possible mo-
ment," aims at the overthrow Of
constitutional government in the
United States. -
Under the terms of the amend
ment drawn by the federationsl
council, "the United States Supreme
Court will have the power to review
an act Of Congress and to declare
such an act unconstitutional, but ,in
the event that Congress a second
time enacts the legislation in ques-
ton it will be beyond the power Of
the court and will stand as the flfal
and unassailable law of the land
This dangerous amendment. If III
should become effective. would de-
stroy the stability of the country.
II proposes a revolutionary way oil
changing the Constitution-by aci|
of Congress instead of by the peo-
ple's expressing their will through
the Legislatures of the various
States. Under the Gompers' plan the
Constitution Of the United States
would become the target in Con
gress Of professional propagandists|
and lobbyists. The safeguards writ
ten into this great instrument By
the founders OF the republic would
be dem olished and the Constitution
~
stitution, in fact, would be, at any
particular time, just what q major
ity Of the members of Congress hap
pened to think It should be. OIL
should be politically coerced by spe-|
cia1 interests into making It.
The founders Of the republic
realized the necessity for the erec-
tlon of a bulwerk to protect the
people against congressional inva-
sion OF their rights and liberties
The Supreme Court Of the United
States is that bulwark- II a major
ity of Congress, at any time, from
any influence or under any motive
should attempt to invade the con-
stitutional rights OF the American
people, the Supreme Court stands |

rights. II it were not for the SUI
preme Court. Congress could be con-
stantly setting aside constitutional
safeguards and bulwarks Of the pes
pie.
We amend our Constitution now
by weight OF public opinion. Thete
is no other way by which changes
can be effected; there should be nc
other way. The Gompers' resolh
ton reveals a deplorable misunder-
standing of the Fundamental prin-
clples and safeguards Of the gov
ernment Of the United States. II
would scuttle the glorious old ship
OF the Constitution.

The discovery Of the bloody under

Quoted by DR.. U. S. Vermillion and
John Bramley on account Of a letter
and map that Bramley received from
Frank Brown prisoner in the Frank
fort prison. Bramley was a former
state prisoner and we'll acquainted
with Brown, who wrote the letter and
drew the map and got by the custom
ary prison censorship by handing the
letter to a rusty to post.
The letter in substance said the map
on the back Of the letter would show
the Pine Mountain trail and the spot
where Lura Parsons was murdered.
The may further showed the location
of the blacksmith shop where the old
Dillon trail crosses the road and a
short distance away crosses the road
again. At the second cross road the
map points the way to hollow gum
tree some 700 feet away from the
crossing. In this tree the letter said
were the underclothes that Reed wore
on the day Of the murder. The letter
said the tree was to the left of the
trail going down and at a small cliff.
The suit Of underclothes, Browns
communication said, was hidden in this
tree for Reed by trusty who re-
moved 1t to the cavity of the gum tree

wearing nothing but overalls and
made application to Brown for under

The ex-prisoner Bramley lives at or
near High Splint. He is said to have
received the letter from Brown in Feb
ruary. The letter bore the Frankfort

OF this year, and it is claimed there
was no delay of the letter in transit.

FOR HEALTH SLOGAN
Membership Campaign for the Mason
County Health League On In Full
Blast Finds Hearty Support
Over the County.

Simple Living is Health Giving"
Here is another slogan offered for
for the Mason County Health League,
which is making its annual campaign
for dollar-a-year members. The Mason
County Woman's Club members who
went out to collect membership fees
Monday were unanimous in their re-
port that the people were willing and
anxious to pay their dollars. Many
families had their money ready and
took as many memberships as there
were members of the family. All mem
bers should inform themselves as to
the objects of the Health League, and
read with interest the reports pub
lished in the press.
Live Leagues Lengthen Lives" sug-
gests another member who wants to
win the prize Of a paid-up life men,
bership. Mas on County Health League
Is surely live league. Now let US see
whether Mason county lives average
longer than lives in those counties
where there is no Health League. But
who wants to figure? We all know
lives are longer where there is health
education and prevention of disease,
and also we know lives are happier
while they last. If you want to know
where the Health League money goes,
ask the treasurer, DR.. James Houston
Cochran. If you want details, ask Miss
Erion, County Public Health Nurse, or
Miss Quinn, City Nurse. you want to
pay your membership fee, and no one
has called on you, mail your check to
