The Connecticut labor news., 1924-02-23

Chicago of the counsel to take charge of the oil investigation and recovery of the government oil fields Congress kicked and refused to accept him because he was corporation attorney, mixed up financially with Big Business interests and therefore might be looked upon by the people not friendly to those involved Ill the oil deal And Congress refused to confirm him and he was not appointed All of which very well but in this the Journal-Courier comments as follows:
 If the government of the United States to shut of its counsel lawyers whose abilities attract the great business interests of the country, 1t going to have hard time of it. If the great business interests of the country not to be trusted in employing counsel for the guidance of their business acts, for of unemployment and general misery. Of course the shutting out of abest lawyers from any investiga the purest humbug Attaching a suspicion to the sin cery of able lawyers because they have been employed by oil companies, steel companies railroad compan- tobacco companies has warrant m sound morals ordinary barnyard These industries, which constantly under the harrow of congressional resrc tons, be guided carefully and honestly in order to illegal behavior and to question the character of their counsel when needed elsewhere to question their honesty which, take it, the repository of all that good and vrtuous the United States Senae not prepared to do.
 What is shame in MT. Strawn's enough to bar McAdoo the week before.
 It fact that there too many lawyers mixed up public affairs. But the JOu1ma Courier in it's later view well says the United States is big corpora ton and needs big enough for the private corpora tions to public affairs
 Mr. McAdoos being retained by Doheny, the Sin clars anyone else has not, will not and should not affect him candidate for the presidency His record former public official is open and clear It that the public must judge him next fal not what he did lawyer for Tom Dick Harry or any big corpora tion either.

McADOO AS A LAWYER AND PUBLIC
 OFFICIAL

It all depends upon whose is gored, apparently, when it comes discussion of mans private business and his fitness for public office This to be espe- cally if happens to be highly trained and able lawyer like William Gibbs McAdoo who also able public service in the not remote past and who, according to present indications soon will be called upon to be the highest public servant in the land.
 Even the conservative and usually correct New Haven Jornal Courier generally fair in its treatment of men and events is not immune from making slip once in while recents events would indicate. Per haps it's because its dual editors do not get together the things they to publish that times change swiftly in the offices but at any rate has been sort of n- consistent in it's statements recently.
 For instance when Mr. McAdoo's name was brought out in the oil lease investigation having been employed by the Doheny interests private attorney long after he had left public lfe to handle its affairs in Mexico not in the United States-the newspaper proclaimed that his connection with this high finance corporation, private lawyer enough to remove him from consideration for the nomination to the presidency But it didn't certain happening at Chicago last Monday, when prominent people, not only democrats and from of the 48 sates met and demanded that he accept the leadership and he did.
 But that has nothing to do with the subject its law yers public officials interested in Presi dent Coolidge proposed attorney named Strawn of

ton squad grafting the shipping board and emergency fleet deals that sench to Heaven before helpless pubc and the pending Alaska naval mine charges, only few of the things that have kept the country wondering if there any honest men among officials.
 And in it all, the administration under the late President Harding and under the present President Coolidge did nothing to either stop it show the dongs up the country It has expressed word of for the rascals but the contrary has upheld them and upholds them today Is it any wonder that took ofice sckened and died-yes died while trip through the oil country and Alaska where he must have the great crime that had been done to America.
 True President Coolidge when vice president, had perhaps to interfere Yet he sat in at the cab inet meetings, knew according to reports all that done there and according to La Folette had personally called to his attention in 1922 the oil lease scandal Yet he did nothing He presiding officer of the senate and such could readily have had the matters brought up the floor there but he did not When he became president he didn't act either attempt to cean the calls out his party wont to in day agone. He sat supiney by and let things go along until the Teapot boiled and while his personal integrity is not questioned he will be lucky indeed if he escape of the filth from sticking to his own coat tails.
 By his associates man is judged. MT. Coolidge has chosen to stand by those accused His republican Congress- forced to the wa has this week repudated his leadership the tax bill fathered by his secretary of the treasury He will probably be nominated for full term but will the rank and file of his party stand by him then he is standing by those who betrayed them.

A DISGRACE TO THE CLERGY

There are ministers of the gospel unworthy of their cloth just there men III every walk ot lie un- worthy. But if there minister who IS abso- lutely unted work in the interests of God and his fellow man it is a certain Rev. Clinton Churchill who delivered an address subject of Amerca ot the Present Day Is Chrstless before the Community Ms sion in Merden last week If all ministers of Christ were like the Rev. Mr. Churchi for which thank God they are not, America would indeed be Chrstless for talks such MT. Churchill delivered enough to make any one turn from Christ if such are his agents
 MT. Churchill made long discourse on the imnor- aty that undoubtedly running wild in the land today That far he alright his talk and even in his trend divorce lines and other laws that make vice easy or easy to evade responsibility little exception could be taken to what he had to offer But when he comes to declare "Step over the line from Canada into Chrstless America and then brays like jackass about men and affairs it's somewhat different
 "There two classes of people in this country today One class is known capitalists. This class should be loved and honored by a said Mr. Churchill thus showing where his leanngs are but sn has gotten so rampant that they hated by their fellow men and not without cause" All of which also might might not be true, but then he goes
 tThe other class is labor. My sympathies are with labor with the under dog There is struggle with Judpe Gary on one side and Samuel Gompers on the other and the middle class n between But the laborng class will get anywhere with Chrstless English Jew like Samuel Gompers at its head Unless we take the conditions n this country today and actually shoot them full of Jesus Christ and Christianity there will be great clash before long, When this clash comes God help us
 God help us IS rlgnt II Such cloWnS laDeleu dS cIergymen are abroad in the land. Samuel GOmpers head of the great American Federation of Labor Eng fish born Jew though he may be- has done for the upft of humanity in this country, morally, financially and otherwise than all the of the k of Mr. Churchill that could be assembled the Boston Common.
 Christ himself of whom MT. Churchill breaches, was also Jew and to label Samuel Gompers did Mr. Churchill not only insult to Christ and Mr. Com pers but to all the Christians the Chrisess America that MT. Churchill psates about.
 The place for MT. Churchill is, (instead of in pull pit if indeed he has one) anywhere but in Christess America where Samuel Gompers Rabbi Wise, Oscar Straus and other philanthropc and Chriske Jews live with the respect of all their fellow be they Jew or Gentle.
