Pulp Mill Worker !:
Caught in Shafting
Has Narrow Escape

William E. Corbett was taken to the
Augusta General Hospital and later to
his home at 1874 Bridge street Tuesday
afternoon suffering from severe LAGER
atoms. sprains and bruises received
when he miraculously escaped destruc-
tion after having become caught in the
betting of machine at the CuShnoc
Paper Co. plant.
The workman was drawn around the
cylinder head of the big machine some
six or eight times, and it was only
after practically every thread of CLOTH
ing had been stripped from his body
that he was thrown free. The accident
occurred shortly after the noon hour
and DR.. Lewis l.. Mann was called
to administer emergency treatment.
Mr.. Corbett was rushed to the Au-
gusta General Hospital where his SUI
perficial injuries were dressed and an
X-ray examination was made of the
other parts of his body to determine
the full extent of his injuries. Later
he was removed to his home on Bridge
street. where last evening he was able
to relate graphic story of the terrible
few moments during which he was be-
ing bodily whirled with the gyrations
of the machine. The attending physi-
clan reported last evening that he be-
lieved the injured pulp worker had
every chance Of complete recovery.
AS a result Of his unfortunate acct
dent Mr.. Corbett suffered several Sc
we're decorations about the head. his
right arm was sprained and cut at the
elbow, as was his right ankle. There
were injuries to the chest and ribs,
the exact extent of which could not be
determined last evening. and of course
he was wracked and shaken in every
part of his body.

RLUELAWS AND TABOOS
BY Albert Apple

In Papua large island in Austraas part of the world
the reformers have recently prohibited the wearing of
clothes This novel reform decided after solemn con-
sideration of the report of investigating committees
The idea is that it's harmful for natives to garments
in the Papuan climate.
Some American theatrical producers apparently have
by precedent, been working toward similar program.
Ontario Canada has Sunday blue laws galore Even
in Toronto it is illegal the Sabbath to sell cgarets
cream etc. The printing of newspapers Sunday pro-
bted and Sunday papers for sale Saturday night No
Sunday movies.
Golf is permitted probably because it's really rich mans
game
The purpose of all this religious observance of Sunday
has another effect compelling people to rest and take
life easy Sunday, recuperang for another bout with
work.
Discussing the psychology of prohbonsts, Felix Adler
year ago wrote: "t trait of primitive to like
those who like themselves and dislike those who
like. This nssence is particularly strong in
regard ways of believing and behaving The intense
you about the things you believe the you behave
the you will be prompted to abolish those who differ
from you
That's the principle of of the fanatcal prohbi
tonsts. Not enjoying liquor themselves, they deter
mined that no else shall enjoy John Barleycorn

THE WALSH REPORT

The rcpor, prepared by Senator Thomas Walsh the oil
committee prosecutor, is notable the conclusions it
reaches with respect to certain testimony aduced before
the oil committee condemned at the time many of the
newspapers of the country who same time fulfilled
eir purveyor news by giving the public
an OF the juicy though apparently mendacous tales told
II be hoped that the report will prove as interesting
reading extraordinary stories told regarding the late
Jack Haons attempt to buy the Presidency at the 1920
Republican convention
h the existence of conspiracy between oil operators and
thers at tho Republican national convention in 1920 for
poations Of public Only the most gulible or
prejudiced believed the dead told before
the committee the time they related stories that
the late Jack Haon had boased of spending hundreds of
thousands of dollar, to buy prominent political leaders and
to place Warren G.. Harding in the Presidential chair
The report eXonefates former Secretary of the Navy
DENLY and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt from any part
whatever in the negotiations leading up leases of
oil The retirement of Mr. DENLY forced and
was denanded by who did not believe him guilty of
any wrong doing but believed that necessary to
the country that all of those whose official duties

declarations that officials specuated in Sinclair
oil stocks the strength of their knowledge the leasing
plan Another bit of sensational at the time the oil
inquiry enjoyed its most fulson,e publicity exploded
this statement Such speeuations there appear
have been chiefly IN the usual course of business
The Walsh report condemns former Secretary Albert B.
Eau for his fragrant disregard Of law and public policy and
inc 2st'! OF the wisdom of the oil leases remains
decided It recommended by the Walsh that leases
by wells drilled close by That also is sound poev
which has rot been contraverted and the claim of
those defending the leases that they made actually
because of this situation The question experts only
can settle
The Walsh report urges competitive bidding Congress
sona action and other safeguards in future easngs of
emment oil All of this principle is usually
copied government policy, national or local.
The Walsh report whole, ought to do much ease
the minds of those who believed that the entire
honey with rapacous officials weakngs who
slccumbed the influence and brbes of unscrupuous

to few of which, from the standpoint the gov
crnment former Secretary Fall must bear the chief blame
1T ought to produce public demand that in the future
legations shall be limited material facts, and that clearly
incredible stories shall not be permitted to disseminate
widespread impression of wholly crooked government
Ii ought in fact to be reassurg to the people of the nation
whole that wrongdong in his places is not customary
but EXCEPTIONAL and that of the in public life
anxious that such shall be punished without
mercy.
