from the surrounding towns. On
Friday night a young minister, Rev.
Hoxter from the Baltimore Confer
ence, delivered a very interesting
sermon. The meeting closed with a
war talk by Dan Hughes.

candy.

With the period of experiments

Our government is safe and practi-

servatism that understands the
needs of both capital and labor in
their close relationship.
We still have our problems and
conflicts of opinion; but it is obvious
that national understanding and in

looking forward eagerly to the COM

Not So Good

A writer in the London Daily Hail,
commenting on American telephone
system, says:
GAIL over Europe, the telephone is
managed, or rather mismanaged, by
officialdom. In America the tele-
phone is private institution and
the result is that the United States,
with 10 million inhabitants, has
considerably more than twice as
many telephones as all Europe, with
four times as many inhabitants,
where the Observation-Disclosures
telephone is a luxury of the well-to-
do.
"In America where there is tel
ephone to every six or seven people,
practically every working man is on
the wire, and so is practically every
farmer.
"In Europe, large houses contain
ing invaluable art collections burn
because there is no telephone to call
the fire brigade. People living in
the country have to send for the
doctor on foot or on horseback ex-
actly as they did in the Middle
Ages"
Milford chronicle., 1928-02-03
Concentrate On Criminals

Do constitutional rights NEAR
anything to our people?
The way proposals are made to dc
away with these rights, one would
be inclined to say, no. But the way
the average citizen out over the
country quietly sets his foot down
on measures which would destroy
the treasured rights and privileges
given him in state and federal con-
stitutions, shows that he does ap-
! preciate such protection.
Constitution tinkerers and would
be saviors of the people always like
to belittle the old-fashioned Ameri-
can citizen. They would make him
appear ridiculous and out Of step
with the times. We see this on ev-
cry hand. But always in Saving
the people," agitators would destroy
individual rights and liberties of the
people.
Nowhere is this being witnessed
more clearly than in attempts to
pass anti-pistol legislation. The
criminal is protected, and the law
abiding citizen who would like to
own a gun is painted as disrepu-
table.
Figures have recently been quoted
to show that 1882 persons were kill
ed in New York City from 1918 to
1926 inclusive, and that only eight
were shot by persons defending their
own lives. This is used as an argu-
ment to show that private citizens
do not need guns and should be pro-
hibited from having them. Would !
this reduce crime?
If few more New Yorkers car
ried a good old-fashioned six-shoot-
er in an open holster, it might do
more to prevent murder in cities
like New York, than laws which
pamper the criminal and which are
contrary to the United State Consti-
tuition.
Why so much time is wasted in
for the criminal and so
little time spent upholding the
rights of the law-abiding citizen, is
hard to understand. Concentrate on
he criminals instead of on 115,000,-
700 peaceful citizens.

A Substantial Farm Market

The year 1927 saw painfully low
prices for the industrial metals; SO
low that many operations were cur
tailed, and mines and mills that
would have operated at fine profit
at earlier prices, paid little or no
dividends.
But for the great advances made
in metallurgy in the past decade, it
would have been a year of genuine
disaster. AS it is, profits and en-
ployment have held up enough to
encourage mining for the year to
come. Profits have been wrung
from former losses; machines do
what hand labor could not possibly
do in handling ores, and the cheap
ores of today often develop into bet
ter Industrial projects than the bo-
nanza ores of a generation ago.
The farmer Of 1928 will need the
miner more than he needed him in
1927. More and more the outside
world is raising its own farm sur
plus; America is hardly needed
abrOad-she must make her own
farm markets. Where? In the mines,
the forests, the factories. We can
produce a tremendous metal sur
plus, to send to other nations that
have neither the metals nor the
ways to work them. Here is one of
the farmers best markets-the labor

duce and manufacture products for |

Business had not in those day:

which it has adopted in many lines
today. 1t was case of the suTViVa

1t is a long jump from the early
days of oil production to today
when excessive competition has
brought an overproduction of oil
never dreamed possible.
While the American people profit
temporarily by low oil prices COM
pared with other commodity prices,
] they are as vitality interested in see
ing the oil industry able to balance
it's supply with demand, as they are
in seeing the farmer accomplish SIM
liar results in the interest of agri-
cultural stability.
Oil is probably a greater necessity
to the average American family than
any commodity except food, clothing
and fuel; that is, the average family
would give UP most anything else
before it's automobile. There are
just as big men in the oil industry
as there ever were, and they will
carry it through critical periods sue
cessfully; but to accomplish this
they depend now, more than ever be-
fore, on a sound public understand
ing of the basic problems which af-

are today laying their cards face up

Let's HGVe More COmpuISOr?
LGlUS

"The scrap is on in Wisconsin," as
one editor puts it, to establish COM
pulsory automobile liability insur-
ance in that state. After all is said
and done, such compulsory laws are
just another tax" on the individual.
How far do the people wish to
carry a paternalistic idea? "COmpul-
sorry" insurance assumes that GER
tain individuals will be unable to
satisfy a judgment if they cause an
accident; therefore, they must be in
sured SO that someone whom they
might possibly. injure at future
date, could collect damages. That
the law would work a hardship on
tens of thousands in order to possi-
bly, benefit one person, is not con-
sidered.
Why not go a step farther and
force all persons to carry life and
accident insurance, in order that
families or the public be relieved of
possible hardship due to the death
OF injury of the breadwinner? Why
not have a compulsory law requir-
ing employers to insure man
against loss of job?
Why stop with automobile insur-
ance? Why not by law insure all
creditors against loss from bad
debtors? Why not become a real
government?
Instead of trying to reduce acci-
dents and responsibility, let us
have more laws that will reduce
personal responsibility, and let ev-
eryone live an easy and carefree
life at the expense of someone else.
