SHOULD A UNIVERSITY
LOSE IT'S HEAD?

Prof. Harry Elmer Barnes and some
other professors and students are run
eff the campus by University OF
Pittsburgh officials for trying to talk
about the Mooney case.
Prof. Harry Elmer Barnes may be
all manner Of a jackass about ever
so many things, but it doesn't seem
possible that sanity can be developed
regarding any public issue by ehas-
ing people around the block.
The University of Pittsburgh has
shown how foolish it is possible to
become. It should remember that the
mistakes of democracy never yet
have been cured by the imposition OF
tyranny.

SINCLAIR LOSES AGAIN

Washington.-The United States
supreme court refused to review its
decision confirming a three-months
sentence that Harry F. Sinclair must
serve for contempt of court. The only
avenues of legal escape now are par
don by President Hoover or a suspen-
sion of the sentence by Justice Hitz
who imposed it two years ago.
Sinclair was found guilty of refus.
ing to answer questions by a senate
committee that was investigating the
Teapot Dome scandals. The convic
ton means more than the imprison
ment of Sinclair-it arms the senate
with a power that was heretofore
denied.

1t will come as surprise to many
no doubt that actual statistics show
SO per cent of the American people
are poor" No less an authority than
James J. Davis, secretary of labor, is
responsible for the statement, which
was given to British newspaper.
Only Ia per cent of the people have
incomes of $4,000 or more, he said.
In the general talk of prosperity in
the United States, many people close
their eyes to serious aspects of con-
ditions within the social structure. 1t
has been computed from American
income tax returns and similar statis-
tics that Sd per cent of personal in
come recipients receive less than
$1,000; that third of the country re-
ceive between 1900 and $4,000 while
those who get over $4,000 compose
only Ia per cent of the nation.
The scale of wages of the average
American worker, coupled with high
standard of living, is not high enough
to allow margin sufficient to pro-
vide for old age. Statistics garnered
by life insurance people show that
more than 80 per cent of those who
attain the age of 60 are dependent
or partly dependent.
One of every 10 of our population
is supported by public funds, an equal
number are employed by the public
and of the remainder one of every 1C
are idle most of the time.
| Some wise man, few years ago
declared "a fellow who says thing
can not be done frequently has tc
step lively to get out of the way OF
the one who is doing it." With this
in mind it is wise not to make light
of the prediction that power from {
radio station will soon be transferred
to automobiles. In other words with
out fuel, the ordinary gas chariot wi!
I be tuned in with a central station b!
twisting the dials, and power thu.
obtained will send US merrily on oul
way.
The idea is advanced, not by ;
crank or visionary, but no less au
thority than G. M. Williams, presiden
of the Marmon Company, who ole
clares that such plan is receiving
serious consideration by leading au
tomotive engineers.
According to the plan, each ca
would have a certain receiving wave

FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929

The Community Chest came out
victorious last week, and we are told
that contributions are still coming in
which will swell the fund. At the out
set of the campaign many of oul
citizens labored under the impression
that the chest this year would fail
and the required amount would not
be secured. We are pleased to know
that there are still thousands of citi-
zens left in our city who will always
give to worthy cause, and it IS this
class of people that fills the chest each
year.

FAKE
COal-IrOn Police Bill Signed
By Governor Fisher

Harrisburg, Pa.-Governor Fisher
has signed the Mansfield bill, fake
control of the vicious coal and iron
police system that is used to break
strikes and intimidate workers.
The state executive made COM
plete about face from his position of
February Is when he denounced
sweeping powers that the coal and
iron police will retain by the bill
he now approves.
The demand for regulation of these
rporation-controlled thugs swept
the state when three of them muir
dered John Barcoski, miner. He
was beaten over the head until he
was senseless and his body was tram
pied upon.
The Mansfild bill was introduced to
allay protests. This bill provided that
three reputable citizens should testify
to the character of applicants for coal
and iron police. Each appointee must
give a bond of $4,000, wear uniform
and display his badge. His jurisdic-
ton, however, would remain un-
| touched.
Organized labor protested against
these police roaming at will to en-
force their thuggery. Representative
Musmanno, who lives in the district
in which the Borsoski murder was
committed, introduced bill limiting
the authority and jurisdiction of in
dustrial police to the property of
the company which employs them
Both bills passed the legislature.
The workers fight for control OF
this private army was supported by
churchmen, newspapers and citizens
generally.
Governor Fisher was connected with
the non-union mine in Indiana county
which secured an injunction against
striking miners from singing hymns

BRAVE TAYLORITES,

The Taylor Society, once known as

bitterly opposed to those quack

bosses.

NOT so BIG-PAPER MONEY

NOT so BIG-PAPER MONEY
The treasury has announced that
beginning next July the paper money
issued will be smaller. The govern
ment will save $2,OOO,00O a year by
decreasing the size. This is a good
move. The big old-fashioned bills are
beginning to feel little self-con-
scious at the small amount of work
they are able to accomplish. And the
psychological effect on the public will
be noticeable. Not SO much will be
expected of the small bills.
Of course, the cost of living is
gradually coming down, but it still
has long distance to go. A FIVE
dollar article that cost $25 a few
years ago can now be purchased fo1
$40. This shows a return to nor.
malcy. We can remember back ir
the halcyon days when a five-dollal
article seldom cost more than ter
or twelve dollars. The cost of living
will never go back to where it was

$14. The minimum was raised from

Speaking at the Maine State Uni
versity, DIR. A. F. Woods, director of
scientific work of the United States
department of agriculture, said that
education should not be simply a
body of acquired facts poured into the
memory. 1t is the aim of modern edu-
cation first to develop power to use
facts, to discover truth, to distinguish
it from error, and to develop the habit
of careful and exact observation and
correct conclusion. The true teacher
is not fountain of knowledge but
an inspiring spirit, and is more of
a guide than absolutely necessary"
Boiled down, DR.. Woods says that
education should develop the power tc
think. How much of modern educa-
ton does this? Too little, it is tc
be feared.
