WHY WORRY?

II wonder why folks worry. There
are only two reasons for worry.
Either you are successful or you
are not successful. If you are sue
cessful, there is nothing to worry
about; if you are not successful,
there are only two things to worry
about. Your health is either good or
you're sick; if your health is good,
there is nothing to worry about; if
you are sick, there are only two
things to worry about. You are
either going to get well or you are
going to die; if you are going to get
well, there is nothing to worry about;
if you are going to die, there are
only two things to worry about. You
are either going to heaven or you are
not going to heaven. If you are go
ing to heaven, there is nothing to
worry about, and if you are going
to the other place, you'll be SO busy
shaking hands with old friends you
won't have time to worry-so why
worry ?-Exchange.

week that, because of unemployment
there will be more of tuberculosis and
more of diseases that follow malnu.

1t is laid out that way. The pro-
gram is fixed, the CHASTITY show will
go on.
Certain number of men, women and
children will become i'll and diseased
and certain of them must die, be-
cause we have unemployment.
Look ahead into the months of the
coming fall and winter and you can
see the stricken procession of sad
and tragic figures.
1t is the march of the doomed

URGE PREVENTION
OF RELIEF WASTE

New York City (ILNS)-A state
ment that federal relief measures to
help the unemployed must be ade-
quately fortified with provisions for
the Systematic and intelligent admin
istration and ALLEGATION of funds to
prevent needless waste and abuse was
directed to President Hoover and
members of congress in an open let
ter from the American Association of
Social Workers representing $500
professional workers.
Unless uniform and protective
measures are Incorporated in the
law" stated Walter West, secretary
of the association and signer Of the
letter, ''the confusion and waste in
the administration Of funds will be 50
great as to defeat the purposes of
federal relief to assist the greatest
possible number of the unemployed.
Under the most favorable condi-
tions of administration" the letter
points out, "the efficient dispensing
of relief is difficult and exacting
task. When there is confusion of au-
thority or responsibility, amateur
planning, unframed personnel, laxity
in accounting or record keeping, waste
iS almost sura to follow apd poopy
costly mistakes to be made"

FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1882
is AMERICA AT THE CROSS
ROADS?

The president has just told congress
its conduct will determine whether
democracy has the power to act
swiftly enough to save itself from
grave consequences.
Congress was told, in substance,
that Europe is railing our currency.
Three years ago-and even now
also-Wall street is doing likewise.
Meanwhile Europe is plunging
headlong into deep troubles of it's own
and the Orient has for some time been
doing likewise.
If America is at this cross roads
and quite likely it is-then there is
need Of more than has been proposed.
And let all and sundry know and
remember this: A nation that is
morally strong within her own board
ers, just to her own people, is morally
strong abroad. A nation bitten at the
heel by scoundrels in her midst, is
weakened at the outset.

TEACHERS UNION
Meets in Chicago June 26;
Green to Speak

Chicago (ILNS)-The sixteenth
annual convention of the American
Federation of Teachers will meet in
Chicago, at the Hotel Knickerbocker
June 26 to July /. The theme of the
meeting is "Save Our Schools"
The chief topics of discussion will
be the effect of the economic and So
cial chaos upon the public school sys-
tenn and the necessity of teacher un-
ionism to meet this situation. Other
topics of vital interest, as the relation
of mass education and gang rule,
character education, credit unions, in
surance, retirement systems, profess
sional standards and training, will re-
ceive the attention of the delegates.
Distinguished leaders in the educa-
tional and labor world will be pres
ent. President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, has
said that organized labor is keenly
aware of the situation confronting
public education and that he plans
to be present
The sessions are open to the public
and friends of the schools are in
vited.

TRY THIS JIG SAW PUZZLE

We are told men are unemployed
because there is no work.
We are told wages must come down
before there can be work.
We are also told there will have to
be dole unless there is work.
Ii we have a dole it must come out
of the wealth already created.
If there has been enough wealth
created and stored so that dole can
be paid out of it, and if a dole is
easier to get than work, then what
was the matter with wages when we
were creating the wealth out of which
a dole will now be paid, if we have
to come to dole?
You tell the cockeyed world!

THE SCOTTSBORO CASE

The United States supreme court
has decided to review the Scottsboro
case, involving seven Negroes, all
young, convicted and sentenced to
death in Alabama on charges of rape.
1t is charged the men, some of whom
are mere boys, were tried in an at
mosphere of mob violence and that
they were in reality victims of "mob
justice"
Enough has been disclosed about
the trial to make it desirable that
an impartial tribunal of the highest
standing, such as the supreme court,
should carefully examine and sift the
evidence in the case. Evidence Of mob
feeling manifested at the trial is not
the only reason for review of the
case. There is evidence indicating
grave doubt of the guilt of at least
some Of the accused youths.
Communists have taken advantage
of the case to push their propaganda
among Negroes, and to charge all
over the world that it is an example
of American justice toward Negroes.
This makes it all the more desirable
that every precaution be taken that
injustice is not done in the case. De-

PINCHOT
Outlines Program to Give
Rights to People

Evanston, Ill. (ILNS)--yn an ad-
dress here, Gov. Clifford Pinchot, OF
Pennsylvania, outlined comprehen-
sive program designed, he said, ITO
secure for the plain people the rights
and benefits which should belong tn
them" He declared that these rights
had been taken away from them by
few selfish men of wealth and power.
The program included the follow
ing measures:
Direct federal relief--to feed and
clothe the unemployed and their
families.
Federal work-relief on vast scale,
nation-wide--to develop, improve and
preserve our resources, and to make
jobs for those who are eager for work
and can find none.
Government planning for industry
to get out of this depression, to
keep out Of other depressions, and to
Dalance prOductlOn ana consumption
Short Day and Week
A six-hour day and five-day week
to make enough jobs to go round.
Old age pensions and prohibition of
child labor-so that those who are too
old or too young will not keep others
out of work.
A fair and effective tariff-to pro-
tect farmers and workers no less than
capital.
Much higher rates on great incomes
and inheritances-to discourage the
accumulation of inordinate wealth.
acd distribute the burden Of taxation
in proportion to ability to pay.
A vote of the people before the
nation can go to war-to prevent the
sacrifice of human lives in protecting
rich mems money invested abroad.
Real Control of Banking
Real control of our banking system
with heavy penalties for bank specu-
lation--to prevent the bank failures
which rob the people of their savings
Regulation that regulates for pub
lie utilities-to reduce heat, light,
power, water and transportation
charges to a reasonable return on the
money actually put into the business.
National conservation of the coal
and oil industries-so that these nat
ural resources may be protected for
the good of the people who produce
and use them.
The abolition of slums-so that city
workers and their children may live
in health and decency.

WHERE WEALTH SHINES

Senator Carter Glass recently
startled the senate by declaring that
two former United States solicitors
general had ruled banking affiliates
illegal and that these opinions had
been suppressed. This he cited as an
indication of the Establishments of
great wealth If there is any place
where wealth's Establishments get in
their dirty work, Washington is the
place. The nation is waking up to the
iniouities of the great banks of Wall
street, and they may some day get
what is coming to them.

THE WHY OF CRIME

Crime is a popular subject for dis
cussion and editorial writing, but one
rarely sees or hears any fundamental
cause assigend. Most of the talk is
about "crime waves" which is reality
do not exist. They are an invention
Of the newspapers and are used ex-
tensively in municipal propaganda.
That there is an increase in crime
in this country and less crime in Eu-
ropean countries is another mistaken
idea. The increase of crime holds
good in all countries and has contin-
ued since the war. Crime is a result
of poverty and of our barbarous and
outworn prison system. Saying that
racketeering is cause is like saying
crime is the cause of crime. Crime
increases because the economic strain
has brought about conditions that
have never before existed in the lives
of the people. There are, of course,
many collateral and contributing
causes, but the primal one is poverty
and financial stress of the times. In
the midst of a breaking down of an
economic system men are driven to
desperation, and the weaker ones are
giving way to despair and some act
lawlessness may follow.
Crimes of violence against prop
erty are increasing in about the same
ratio as embezzlement by bank off
cials and others in positions of trust.
The robber who works behind a gun
and the one who works behind
mahogany desk are only different in
that one is a white collar coward who
robs and wrecks many human lives,
and the other a courageous but mis-
guided thief.-By The Way.

AS EUROPE SEES AMERICA

In an editorial a year ago, Lon
don editor printed the following:
"You are afraid of the future. Yor
are full of fears.
"You have half the gold of the
world, and half of the machinery
and all the skyscrapers.
"You have the greatest home mar
ket in the world, and the largest cor
porations that the world has ever
seen.
"You are ruled more by ideas and
less by tradition than any other peo-
pie in the world. You have usually

done what you thought you could do.
when a horse balks, the balk is
in his head, not in his legs. He moves
on when he thinks he will.
'And when an American is de-
pressed, the slump is in his head.
There is nothing to prevent him from
baking money if he thinks he will
"When fear rules the will, nothing
can be done, but when man casts
fear out of his mind, the world be-
comes his oyster.
''To lose bit of money is nothing,
but to lose hope-or lose nerve and
ambition--that is what makes men

What recognition means is a soviet
official status i'm the United States
through an army of embassy and
consular officials, and no power has
yet been found by any nation by
which embassy and consular officials
can be prevented from using their
official posts as propaganda direction
points.
Let the institutions of trade get
what they can, but in any event let
the United States continue to deny
official residence to the red propa-
ganda machine! That would seem
little enough to do for freedoms
sake.

REVIVING THE RED
PROPAGANDA
u tell the cockeyed world!

The red propaganda is jumping
into action again under guise of re-
lief for our unemployed, through
creation of work on goods sold to
the soviets. The propaganda aims at
recognition, and we are offered the
same old bait.
But the bait smells. 1t is too old
and it has lain too long exposed.
We are told that recognition would
open soviet markets. The fact is
soviet markets are open now and
are perfectly free to sell
to the limit Of their ability.

about many things. sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes lippantly,
ssrs.;mes recklessly.

Bad as conditions are, it would take
blacker brush than has yet been
used to paint a picture of conditions
as they would be- if there were no
trade union movement.
Though commodity prices have
gone slithering downward, the store
keepers of the land would be selling
much less if there were no trade
unions.
The trade unions have held back
the down sweep of wages.
As a matter of fact it is hard to
say how low wages now would be if
it were not for the steady, effective
opposition of trade unions.
Probably few storekeepers recog-
nize the value of trade unions. But
there is and for half century has
been more money for working people
to spend in stores because of unions.
Some day merchants will under
stand the value to them of unions
But they are in no hurry to under
stand.
When employers come demanding
a 20 per cent reduction and the
union succeeds in making it perhaps
a 10 per cent cit instead the stores
are 10 per cent better off, as far as
the buying power of those particular
workers is concerned.
In st. Louis the other day the
union street car men succeeded in
squeezing wage cut down to little
per cent.
Many an attempted 20 per cent cut
has been stopped by the unions.
Also many man is working and
earning money who would not be
working if it were not for the unions
The unions have brought about
shorter work-days and in many cases
they have brought about staggering
of work. The workers benefit, and so
| do the merchants.
| Now and then merchants stand
with labor, as many of them did a
| year ago in Danville, Va.
Some day they will all see where
they belong. Meanwhile the unions
go right on making things better for
everyone, including merchants and
excepting only the robbers who
wouldn't trust friend if they had
one.
There is no question about the in
tentions, past and present, of the So
called and properly called Wall street
ring. They had intended to cut labor
down to the last possible notch. They
| had intended to do a lot of things
that they haven't done, though what
they have done is too much for labor.
The point is, the onslaught hasn't
gone as far as it was intended to go.
Now, what's the lesson?
The lesson is that if with our pres
ent strength we have prevented a
lot of devastation, we could, with the
{, strength we ought to have, prevent q
lot more devastation-and with
strength enough we could prevent it
ALL
There's the point.
There's the arrow pointing to the
! thing to do!
| If the specimens of the human race
| now on the job can't understand the
lesson and won't do the thing re-
quired, then the big boys will keep on
almost having their way and there
will be plenty moro of unemployment,
, hunger and who knows what besides.
We have to shoulder some of the
blame ourselves if we permit our
strength to go unorganized and un-
used.

Henry Baman, head meat cutter at the Alaska Meat Company, suf- fered a compound fracture of the left leg Sunday afternoon. He is in St. Ann's hospital and is expected to remain there two weeks at least. He will not be able to use the in- jured leg for some considerable time after he leaves the institution.
 MT. Baman was working on the log cabin he is building on Glacier Highway when the accident took place. He was engaged in putting the last log on the structure, when the scaffolding on which he was standing gave way. He fell 12 feet to the ground. Fortunately he was not struck by the log, which also tumbled down. In the fall, he broke his left leg in three places between the ankle and the knee.
 He was hastily taken to the hos pital where Dr. w. J. Pigg set the fractures.
