Old NEWSPAPER
INTERESTING AS
BIT OF HISTORY

Washington had been dead Just
three weeks, and his funeral, which
had been conducted with great cere-
mony, was still matter for con
versation, when paper owned by
George Shields of this city, was
printed.
The paper is the Ulster County
Gazette, printed IN Ulster County,
New York, and bears the date, Jan
uary 4, 1900. Although badly
worn by the ravages of time, il
is still readable and it's quaint
style is of particular interest to
ncwspapermen.
Shields obtained the newspaper
when his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Shields, died last year in Pasadena
ut the age of 80. She was the
daughter of slaves who lived on a
plantation in virginia, and the pa
per was given to her by her mother.
1t was published by Samuel Freer
and Son, and is labeled Number SS,
Volume ..
Washington's funeral is described
in detail, and the paper also CON
tains tribuc to him. The inside
columns of the paper are ruled with
heavy black, as a sign of mourn
ing for "The Father of His Coun-
try".
Luther Andres, who operated in
Warsink, believed in advertising

more than wise-he declared his
prices were lowest, and denied
credit. Payment for merchandise
purchased could be made in wheat,
rye. buekwheat, oats, corn, butter,
flax, ashes and rawllides, and leash

The paper was brought to the
Press office by Foster Smith,
frien of Shields, where it attracted
much attention.

not seem probable that 50 astute man
will straddle the issue. The straddlers
on prohibition have had little success
at the polls in recent years. The
Democratic nominee for Senator, It has
been confidently predicted, will be
"wet." The last Democratic Senator
elected from New Jersey was the wettest
of the wet, Edward I. Edwards, and the
Democrats are pinning their hopes to
the wet cause this year as well as to
the fact that there has been unemploy-
ment on a considerable scale.
The Republican party admittedly took
the dry side Of the prohibition issue in
the national campaign of 1928. The
Republican administration is seeking to
enforce the dry laws and to strengthen
the enforcement laws and agencies.
When Republican candidates for the
Senate announce themselves "wet," it
creates a mixed situation. Prohibition
has cut like a knife across both the
major political parties, however, and
until one or the other nails the wet
standard nationally to its Flagstaff, the
situation is likely to continue mixed.

Foreign Criticism Seen
Benefit to America

From the Newark Evening News.
Outspoken criticism of American for
eign policy by French and British jour-
nalistic representatives before the Amer
lean Society of Newspaper Editors in
Washington last week ought to do good
despite the fact that there is some ques-
ton of the good taste shown by these
visitors. They were speaking in the
presence Of the President of the United
States. It was asking a good deal to
expect him to listen to their attacks
upon one of his predecessors and upon
his administration. Whether what was
said was true and fair is not pertinent
to the question of propriety and good
manners. This phase Of the incident Is
unfortunate.
But what these men-Andre Geraud
(Pertinax) and Wickham Steed-said
Is largely true. Because 1t is true we
need to hear It; not from Americans
they have said the same things-but
from recognized spokesman of other peo-
pie. M. Geraud and Mr.. Steed present.
ed us to ourselves as others see us and
that Is something we should know.
Nothing is gained by stuflng our ears
and refusing to listen. That Is being
"isolationist" in thought, which is as
futile as in deed. If it is unpleasant to
hear what others think of our action in
international matters, we should not be
too thin-skinned to near it,

Prison Holocaust Held
Disgrace to Country
From the Louisville Times.

From the Louisville Times
The holocaust at the Ohio State Pen
itentiary, on the face of the evidence in
the news dispatches, is one of, and by
far the most dreadful of, a series of
acts of desperation by convicts in vari-
GUS American prisons. Only last Satur-
day there was rioting in the State
Prison at Providence. r. /.
Each of these attempts-the one with
horror unsurpassed, and, the temptation
is to say, unsurpaSsable-has carried
with it its own lesson of folly and
futility.
That attempts have succeeded one
another, nevertheless, Is stark evidence
of mood of almost incredible reck-
lessness, limited perhaps to a small
proportion of the population of each
prison affected, but capable, as the
latest instance amply demonstrates, Of
producing far-reaching consequences.
Remedies have, of course, been sug-
gested, and at least in some Of the
States which have experienced prison
disturbances are being carried into eff
feet. In many respects the remedies
proposed differ widely In nature, de-
pending upon theories of penology
which range from the excessively hard
boiled to the excessively soft-boiled.
But upon one thing all can agree. TO
harbor 5000 men in quarters built for
1000 Is disgrace to government and
civic conscience. Such treatment Is so
woefully uncivilized that when 1t pro-
vokes. or helps to provoke, acts vio-
lently contrary to all conceptions Of
civilization establishment is scarcely as
justiflable as grief.

Why Not Parity
In Army-Nayy Paw?

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Aside from its great impetus to peace,
President Hoover confidently estimates
that the treaty of London will repre-
sent a saving to the United States
Government of at least S1,cOO, Ooo,0
in six short years. To what more de-
serving, more useful and more appro-
pirate purpose could a substantial part
of these savings be devoted then to
providing adequate pay for the de-
Tense forces of the Nation?
It Is notorious that the compensation
of the personnel of the United States
Navy is woefully deficient and totally
disproportionate to the dignity and re-
sponsibility of its service to the Nation.
There has been no substantial increase
in the pay of the officers OF the hlili-
tary establishments of the United
States for % years, and during this
period living costs have been pyramided
more than 100 per cent. There was
a Reimbursement pay act Of 1922, but
this measure simply juggled the SAL
aries slightly by reducing the pay OF
the lower grades and by adding an
almost imperceptible increase to the
higher.
Surely the Army and Navy of the
United States should be able to retain
the services of men of consistently
high degree Of intelligence and ability,
and these men deserve compensation
compatible with their loyal service and
large obligations. The international
limitation and gradual reduction Of
military establishments do not mean
that their personnel should 60 under
paid and underapprociated.
The merits of the case for prompt
and substantial increases in the COM
pensation of the Army, Navy and allied
services are too patent to require de-
tailed argument. Their salaries are not
only inferior to anything which COM
parable service in the industrial and
business world would yield, but they
have been disproportionately neglected
with respect to other departments OF
Government service. Thus the average
increase for foreign service is ITS per
cent; for civil service, 153 per cent;
lumbia, las per cent; judiciary, 81
per cent; Congress, SO per cent; cab
met, IS per cent; while the average
increase In the Army and Navy has
beon-note the figure well-just 3 per
cent.
Is it not simple justice that the pay
of the defense forces of the United
States, practically unadjusted since
1908, should be made commensurate
with the higher cost of living? And
is it not sound policy and sound man
agement that the officers Of these forces
be compensated in accordance with the
responsibility of their positions?
The justice and the wisdom OF these
pay increases, too long overlooked and
too long delayed, do not rest upon and
should not be contingent upon the vast
savings which the naval limitation and
reduction Of tn, treaty Of London will
bring to the United States, but Is 1t
not highly fitting that some Of these
welcome savings should be devoted to
this end? While we are about to real
ia, naval parity in the international
field, let us at the same time provide
something like financial parity be-
tween the salaries Of the Government
services.

Failure to respond to definite warn
ings of the peril that was involved in
lack of proper provision for the care Of
criminals Is charged by the Cleveland
News, the Morgantown Dominion News,
the Schenectady Gazette and the Tex
arkana Gazette.
The Ann Arbor Daily News maintains
that "savages that deliberately burned
men at the stake in an uncivilized past
could commit no greater moral wrong
than a society in the civilized present
that locks men in cages under circum-
stances that will permit them to burn"
That paper also says of the prison ON
GERS: 1.-THE guards knew well the mean
ing of a mob of unrestrained convicts.
So some hesitation was natural. It
was difficult decision to make. The
wrong decision was made. Convicts
running wild within prison wall could
not be at their worst half as horrible
as the burning to death of one human
being, convict or otherwise. Those men
had transgressed the laws and forfeited
their liberty, but they had not for
feited their right to live. The State in
placing them under restraint was re-
sponsible for the safeguarding Of their
lives so long as they behaved them
selves"

"The Beauty of Today"

It has been often said that the
Japanese are an initiative people, Chat
they adopt the manners and uses and
customs of the western world avidiy.
It would be well if the American people
were to adopt some Of the japanese
customs and ideas, especially the idea
of respect for nature and love of the
beauties of nature. Japanese do not
break Towering branches from trees or
otherwise mutilate natural growths.
Americans are prone to commit such
depredations.

fruit trees are making the landscape
lovely with their blooms. And the
vandals are ripping of boughs Of bios

and no respect for the higher law Of

In Japan the children do not have
to be trained to respect the trees and
shrubs. They are born with the love
OF the natural growth that imanifests
itself by keeping it in its rightful situ-
alton. When the cherry trees are in
bloom the whole nation makes festival.
