Weather Chat

Even the most optimistic support
ers of the proposition that spring is
coming lost some of their enthusiasm
yesterday morning when they looked
out of doors. The snow was falling
in the regulation winter fashion and
rapidly buried their hopes. This did.
not last for long. however, for by
noon time the sun had made several
attempts to show itself through the
large falling flakes. In the latter part
of the afternoon the sun made a final
effort and succeeded in gaining the
upper hand. The decision by public
acclaimation was unanimous in favor
of spring.
The opposition. who believe that we
have a lot more winter coming to us,
take a firm stand. yesterdays results
notwithstanding. Many base their
predictions ON the fact that the

AN OUTRAGEOUS INJUSTICE

II is doubtful if the history of Ameri-
can national legislation contains any,
thing more outrageous than the recent
attempt made by Representative Tohn-
son OF Kentucky to deprive Major Charles
c. Cresson and Colonel John E. Hunt.
retired, of their pay by action of Con-
gress and without giving them an oppor-
tur1ity to be heard in their own defense.
The affair is an outgrowth OF the
Bergdoll matter. 1t will be remembered
that Colonel Hunt was court-martialed
on the charge of failure to exercise due
diligence in guarding his prisoner and
that Major Cresson prosecuted the case
for the government.
Representative Johnson was a mem
Der of the congressional committee that
investigated the escape OF Bergdoll and
he is now a member OF the committee
on appropriations in the House.
To deprive an officer of his paw by
an act of Congress is something that has
never been attempted before. Repre-
sentative Johnson has not only sought to
bring about such an unwarranted and
arbitrary action but has tried to do it
without giving either officer opportunity
to present a defense.
If the act is passed by Congress the
two officers will have been subjected
to most unusual punishment and de-
prived of their property without due pro-
cess of law but they will have been pun
ished without even so much asa hearing
of any kind. There is no doubt that the
courts would restore the pay of the Of
ficers, but in the meantime thew would
have been deprived of their paw and
would be forced into the position of men
against whom guilt had been proved.
In the event that the act should be
passed as part of the army appropria-
ton bill the officers would be compelled
to serve without pay or decline to serve
without. pay In the latter case they
would, of course. be classed as absent
without leave and dropped. after three
months, from the army list.
1t is impossible that Congress. as a
whole, can be guilty of so radical an
injustice. That Representative Johnson
can descend to attempt a thing of this
kind has been proved, but it is certain
that there are enough fair-mindcd men
in the House of Representatives to pre-
vent the most high handed act of in
justice that American national 1eo;sla-
ton can show

Congress has before it important matter.
calling urgently for consideration. Their,
are PENDING measures for the proposed
relief of the farmer; there is the honu.
question and there is also, the highI,
important matter OF the income tax. All
these things cry loudly for action and
while the Americap people wait and
suffer, members of Congress are busy
ing themselves with Investigations that
arc, in the main, inspired by politics.
The Investigations may be all well
enough in themselves, but active legis-
lation on such questions as the bonus.
the income-taX and such things is far
more vital need.
Moreover, it is much to be doubted
if the conditions that are being revealed
by the various Investigations differ in
any great degree from those that have
existed under practically every former
administration in Washington Ii Con-
gress had, after the conclusion of the
war, instigated a series of inquiries into
the various degrees of extravaganza. in
eptness. incapacity, greed and downright
dishonesty that prevailed in various
places during the war. the American
people would have been stirred as they
were never stirred before. The one
scandalous maladministration of the air
service wherein more than 100000 600
was absolutely thrown away in less than
one year with no return to the govern
ment at all, may serve as an index to
the discoveries that might have been
made. No such sum of money as. $780,
DOC, 900 can be wasted without somebody
being responsible for the extravaganza.
Yet, no inquiry into this most repre-
hensble state of affairs was ever con-
Quoted.
The people of the United States must
remember that the city of Washington
has always been full of crooks and there
are no more of them there at this time
than there have been in the past, allow

ACTION NEEDED

The people of the United States will
soon begin to wonder if they have anv
representatives in the present Congress
who have any intention of fulfilling the
duties they were sent there TO perform.
and granting they have such intentions
whether they will ever be able to ac-
complish anything
This Congress seems to have run
wild on the subject of investigating
everybody and everything. Nothing
like it has ever been seen in the his
tory OF the nation. What makes it
worse. is the fact that most OF the in
vestig1tions have their origin in purely
political purposes. 1t is not to be argu ID
for a moment that it is inadvisable TO
investigate criminal acts and to punish
the offenders if possible, but there is
no reason why every little action oi
every little office holder should be made

These are practical results obtained
through censorship of the movies. In
regard to printed matter. the postal regu-
lations at times work no less effectively.
Several years ago when II. L. Mencken
was under surveillance for certain ex-
pressed opinions. the postal law was
handy means of getting at matter writ
ten by him and perhaps at the desired
evidence. Knowing that whatever he
sent through the mails was likely to be
examined, as an experiment he selected
quotations from the Bible and mailed
them. They were promptly declared
"obscene matter" but when he showed
his sources, the Joke was on the censors
Who was it suggested not long ago that
the oEly reason the Bible ever did get
through the mails when censorship was
was because nobody read it?
Perhaps these examples are exaggerat-
cd, but they are indicative of the general
tendency of censorship and the impossi-
bility of deciding upon actual basis for
censorship. Lest we he bound over hand
and foot to absurdity and futilty, let
us develop an intellectual and moral
and artistic backbone rather than be
stunted in growth by the straight Jacket
Of partial and Inadequate rulings.
