DCLGELLY, Wales, November l5.-
Grizzled miners, fresh from the
creeks" literally heaped testimony be-
fore Prof. Henry Louis, who Is conduct
ing an investigation of abandoned
Welsh gold fields preparatory to submit
ting report to the government.
Should the report be favorable, Welsh
gold mining, for almost generation
abandoned, will blossom again.
Heaped on q huge table in front OF
Prof. Louis were gold ingots, gold
bearing quartz, gold ore and panned
fiake gold, all taken from the Welsh
veins.
Experts Tour Workings.
When the hearing ended, Prof.
Louis toured the abandoned workings,
accompanied by experts who estimated
the amount of capital necessary to
revive the industry.
One Of the most picturesque Of the
old-tine miners to testify was Ellis
Jones, who attributed the falltng-oh OF
gold production to poor milling methods.
Three fellows and myself" Jones
told Prof. Louis, went into a shaft
near here in the dead of Winter and

Welsh gold mines formerly built for
tunes for their operators and gave en-
ployment to hundreds of workers. From
the quartz beds at Bontddu. near Bar
mouth, gold valued at $l0,o0O,00O was
taken, smaller amounts being derived
from other fields.
For brief spells in 1919 and 1922 the
st. David mines here were opened, and

Hope in North Carolina

Those who have despaired of justice in North
Carolina should take heart If the initial rulings of
the court in the Virgins murder trial criterion
the state determined to dsprove the charge made
so often in the last year and with such provocaton
that there is one kind of justice in North Carolina
for ant-labor mill owners and militia and another
kind of justice for labor unionists
This case is the test.
Ella May Virgins, widowed mother of several
small children, was murdered by members of an anti
labor mob. She was going peacefully about her bust
ness-which happened to be riding to a union meet
ing-when she was shot down in the presence Of
many witnesses
The state previously has convicted unionsts
charged with shooting the police chief of Gastona
after the police had initiated reign Of terror against
textile strikers The question is whether North
Carolina also will convict those charged with shoot
ing striker
Textile company lawyers are leading the defense
n this case. And, anticipated, instead OF trying
the on its merits, they attempting to turn
he trial into witch-burning orgy against radicals
On Tuesday these company lawyers tried to destroy
The testimony Of state witnesses by showing that
there were Communist elements in the strike
Attorney General Brrmmitt, whom the Governor
las sent to aid the prosecution, was quick to chal-
enge the defenses attempts to pervert the trial.
Judge Clement ruled that witnesses could not be
Questioned as to their political and social beliefs.
If the judge continues as he has begun, to hold
this trial to the murder issue instead Of heresy hunt
ing he will help to redeem North Carolina's shat
tered reputation. And that, probably more than
anything else would discourage violence the long
hard road to labor freedom which is ahead of North
Carolina.

Shall Puritanism Wreck Liberalism?

The demonstrating liberal in the United States
is certainly in dilemma today He does not regard
prohibition as one Of the most important OF Our current
issues from tbs standpoint of its intrinsic merits Yet
prohibition enforcement methods have brought about
a situation where the issues involved are the most
crucial which can face the citizen. They involve
those most sacred and basic rights OF man Tor which
the race has struggled for centuries
Whether or not a man can get a glass of beer con-
venently may not be problem of the first magnitude
But the ssnctity of life property, and home is such
Moreover the whole liberal philosophy of life being
challenged The liberal is a reasonable and urbane
erson opposed to shoppers, busybodies and fanatics
Therefore he forced to line up actively with others
Who like himself desire relief from the irresponsible
sealots of drought.
The beleaguered liberal then looks around himself

Could Use More Parties

4 S things stand, the average
"A American can not express him
self on more than one or two issues
by being Republican or Demo-
crat.
In some respects. there is a wider
difference between the factions
within each party than there is be-
tween the parties themselves.
Each party has a progressive wing
and a reactiOnary wing, a wet
faction and a dry faction, a pacif1st
element and a jingo element, state
rights crowd and bureaucratic
crowd.
Considering the cleavages that
have developed, the new problems
that have arisen, and the obvious
inability Of either the old parties
to line up on most of them, it prob
ably would be better if we faced the
situation frankly and formed such a
number of political groups as would
enable people to express themselves
effectively.
AS a matter of common sense, we
would be just as well off with one
party as we are with two.
AS a further matter Of common
sense, we hardly could be worse off
with six or eight.

Short. Sighted Reformers

Of more Importance and significance tnah
the outcome of the effort to renomlnate
Judge Willoughby Of the supreme court IS
the fact that large number of very sincere
citizens are now openly declaring their pur-
pose to elect dry judge to the supreme
court 1t is probable that very many others
quite as sincere, hope to put wet Judge
on that bench
Whenever any group, intent on partlc-
ular viewpoint of a public question, take
the position that judges are to be selected be-
cause of their belief or disbelief in the prac-
ticability of any law, confidence in the whole
structure of the government weakens and a
subtle but very sinister blow is struck at our
whole theory Of government.
Unless the courts are composed of judges
who are able to cast aside any ideas as to the
adYisability of any law and decide questions
according to the Constitution without any
reference to reasonableness or expedlency,
the courts become super governments, over
throwing the legislative and executive
branches of government. That is the begin
ming of dictatorship
The controversy around Judge Wioughby
was aroused by a letter from former Attor-
nev-General GiIliom whose appeal for Judge
Willoughby was upon high ground that no
small group should control the courts. That
was perfectly sound position. He did not
appeal for a wet Judge. Gilliom happens to
hold the belief that Willoughby has acted IN
good conscience, has shown courage, is
fought because he refused to accept the die
tatorship of the Anti-Saloon League or the
Klan.
That is far different from the position OF
those who openly declare that they want a
dry judge, meaning Judge whose decisions
will be written in subservience to the die
tates of a particular group interested IN
narticular subject, without any reference to
the Constitution.
The reformers who hope to win through
dominated court are most short sighted
They attack the one means by which reforms
NAV be permanently attained. They strike at
all the theories of our government.
The one question which should interest
every citizen is the election of judges who
are courageous, sincere and free from preju-
dice and bias and at the same time, have
deep enough sympathy with the real purpose
and policy of our government to protect any
encroachments on the Constitution. The
bench can stand a new baptism of real
Americanism.

IF We were living under the

Two parties are all right, provided
they are sufficiently cohesive and
coherent to afford people a chance

If they are not, however, as is the

serve only to stuItify and lmmobilize

1t is recognized that the destruc-

Editor Times-I have been follow
ing with interest your articles by
Dick Miller regarding conditions in
the fire department and find them
food for thought"
In Wednesdays Times there was
an article by Charles CARL, which
says in part, that The Times is in
favor of placing the fire and police
departments under civil service.
Please continue these worthwhile
articles and perhaps you can wake
the people of indianapolis up to
what confronts them.
It is my understanding that In
dianapolis is supposed to have civil
service both in the fire and police
departments, but apparently this
law, like many others, is given little
or no consideration.
To one who has always had a
warm spot for the boys in blue" Il
don't mean policemen, I was rather
surprised after moving to Indian
apolis to find out how the firemen
OF the state are batted around.
A man might be chief one day
and the next he is riding the back
end Of a puInper. There Is apparent
ly little thought given to what a
man knows as far as the fire de-
partment goes as TO who he knows
in new administration. This fea-
ture alone Is worth consideration.
believe, and there are many like
me, that all fire and police depart
nents in class one and two cities
in the state should be under civil
service.
Is it because these departments
offer nice political plums that this
is not done? It might be all right TO
leave the job Of chief in these de-
partments open for al ointment,
but when 1t comes TO the rank and
file Of the department, those men
should be protected by civil service
rules.
Isn't it true that you will have q
better man for job who has worked
his way up? When a vacancy Is to
be filed. give the fellow who knows
fire fighting a chance and don't give
the job to some one who knows some
one who knows the mayor or some
other official

ronto was that the use of serum
taken from those who have recov-
cred from the disease is instru-
mental in preventing Gripping and
death if the serum is given as soon
as possible after the disease is dis
covered.
Seventy three cases which were
diagnosed on the first day of illness
were given the serum and not one

With each succeeding day of ILL

toward fatal termination is in
creased. Moreover, the likelihood
of multiple paralysis and of extern

Indeed, it has been found that
the giving of the convalescent

occurred seems to be of little bene-
