Cumberland Gan

In the American drama, Cumberland Gap has
played important role. In colonial days immi-
grant trains passed through the gap bound for new
frontiers in western Tennessee and Kentucky. 1t was
there that the son of Daniel Boone killed by In
dians.
In the Civil war it a military prize. Now, it
seems it has achieved symbolism the barrier
between the striking Kentucky coal fields of Bell and
Harlan counties and the outside world.
The things the world knows about these coal fields
are not pleasant to write or think about. Miners
families have been underfed, strikers intmidated,
sympathzers jailed, newspaper shot Yet, in the
opinion of Bell and Harlan counties all this is no.

arrested, bulied assaulted, kidnapped and deported.
Recently mob of respectable Kentucky gentle

to 1.-THE Gap" and there, with auto lights suddenly
turned off, two of the writer's, Waldo Frank and
Allan Taub, were beaten with an auto jack
Now two groups of some sixty American students,
undaunted by the Kentucky terror have been refused
admission to the coal field. Meeting the students,
the Bell county attorney Walter Smith, denounced
them as Communists" and malicious intruders," and
demanded that they post $1,000 peace bonds before
thew we're allowed to enter the county
The students are due Wednesday in Washington

them to conduct Senator Costgan Dem. Coo) has
a resolution pending that demands thorough probe
into conditions that Bell and Harlan counties seem so

some investigating on behalf Of the American people.

Watch the Lists

Many citizens offering themselves candi-
dates for nomination to the next legislature.
These posts are the most important Offices to
be filed this year. They do not have the spotlight
that goes with the governorship but the elected
to lawmaking bodies next year will have effect
upon the welfare Of the public than the executive
or judicial positions
The next legislature must revise the tax and the
utility laws if private industry and the farmer
to be saved from bankruptcy.
The power interests will tax industry to death.
Unfair taxation will take the farmer.
Public ownership must be placed within the reach
of the people If the electric monopolies are to be
curbed.
At present, the people find many difficulties in
the path to ownership Of utilities These obstacles
we're written into the law by those who have ex-
plotted the public and then capitalized their ex-
poitation in the form Of preferred stocks in holding
companies
The effort of the city to obtain reduction of
rates has demonstrated that the utilities have
stranglehold on the people and that relief, under
present conditions is almost impossible
The utilities have been permitted to run wild in
their grabbing. The holding company device has
made the whole theory of regulation jest
For example the charges Of the local electric mon
opoly for coal purchased from lCs OWL S9liilis
agency amount to hundreds Of thousands Oh DOL
lars in excess profits each year. The commission does
not even chide those who do such violence to the
law and to the rights of the people.
The fact that the people pay for the private club
dues of citizen of Philadelphia one of the operat-
ing expenses of the water company should arouse in
dignation to the point of action.

Roosevelt on Power

Two statements just have appeared concerning
Governor Roosevelt and the power question.
In the first one the National Popular Government
League put Mr.. Roosevelt ahead of all other presi-
Dental aspirantS on the power issue In the second
statement William H. Woodin, president OF the
American Car and Foundry Company and chairman
of the board of the American Locomotive Company,
denied charges that Mr.. Roosevelt's policies are
"nimical to big business and declared, in part, re-
garding Mr. Roosevelt and power:
Il have no fear that in his approach to this prob
lem he will bring to either inclination or desire to
destroy hamper the companies that for years
have devoted their time and money to develop
ment of this great industry"
Mr.. Woodn's statement was issued from the
Roosevelt headquarters 1t was released for publ
cation on the same day as the Popular Government
Leagues laudatioh When asked for comment on
the latter, Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as saying: IL
don't want to make any snap statements want time
to think it over
We presume that he will make his statement soon.
The Popular Government League appraises the
power issue as follows:
Its political significance can not be overestmated
The combined utility and banking interests headed
by the power trust have the powerful and wide
ly organized political machine known in history
The machine operates with other reactionary eco
nomic, industrial and financial groups 1t is siren
uously working to control the nominations for the
presidency and congress of both dominant parties"
Governor Roosevelt could not be all that the Popu-
lar Government League says he is and all that Mr..
Woodn says he is in his statement issued from the
Roosevelt headquarters.
Mr.. Roosevelt always has taken a strong line on
the power question And on a question so deeply
touching the interests of the American people he
ought not now be willing to let another speak equiv
ocally In his stead.
Especially since published simultaneously with the
Popular Government audations. the Woodin equiv
ocations call for a statement by Mr.. Roosevelt

These are the hard and arduous
labors which a competitive civil

of the fear that his children may

bition moves him to the hope that
he may leave a fortune calculated
to let them loaf all the days of

to root out that incentive.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE good pastor of a Baptist flock is enraged at
Il the temerity of this column in daring to express
criticism Of Solomon.
The panning he gives me is worthy of a better
cause. He calls upon me to defend, if can, my ig-
norance and arrogance and to apologize to all those
who have sacred regard for the Scriptures.
am we'll aware that to many good people the
idea OF finding fault with Solomon is almost like
haunting God. That 1 believe, is one thing the
MATTER with organized religion, the earth and the
people upon it.
In a. world where cat may gaze at king is a
woman to be denied the right to speak her mind upon
Solomon or any other man?
The pastor insists that female has sense enough
to understand the deep wisdom of the Hebrew mon
arch. Moreover. he hints that since most of the
evils come from feminine sources, and that Eve was
the mother of all sin, whatever the weaker and wick
eoer sex may have to say about biblical subjects is
not worth printing, much less reading.
ID IGHT here his logic appears faulty. Solomon
N himself had no such antipathy toward women. If
he believed that the ladies filled with such dev-
ish instincts them according to the record he was
eager to be besmirched.
In short, if the pastors theory is true, how could
Solomon have been good since the Bible tells us he
consorted with upward of 500 women? And that is
really a conservative estimate.
No, long have believed that Solomon was some
thing of a fakir His advice about many things is
excellent, but, like good many other pous folk he
tailed to act upon it.
And since the English language is so plain, those
who attempt to set him up as saint encourage n.y.
pocrisy, for while he may have been grand old man
he was a pretty wild young man.
They quote to us his Proverbs, but what shall
we do with his Song which is the most beautiful
tribute to woman and to love that ever has been
penned?

Making It Compulsory

IT has been pointed out that GER
Il tain rich men have done much
for art or charity or medical re-
search. But that's not good enough
That makes the public dependent
upon the Whim Of the sons and the
daughters of our barons.
A certain rich man died not so
long ago leaving more than two
hundred million, and Of this vast
sum he contributed in his will $50
900 to a university. Relatives got
the rest. He said that he had done
enough during his own lifetime.
1t should not have been left to
him to decide. No man makes a
fortune without the collaboration of
vast multitude. The niousetrap
man would be nothing much if the
public failed to beat a pathway to
his door.
They trudged and ran and ambled
to make him famous, and when he
dies can not see what overwhelm-
ing claim belongs to his snip of a
daughter who neither made nor
used the mousetrap.
Why shouldn't the rich be soaked?
That's what has happened to the
poor, not only in recent years, but
down through the centuries. If turn
about is fair play, I'm all for
using it.

1T is charged that the advocates
Il of higher inheritance taxes are
out to soak the rich" I see no
reason why they should deny it. To
me this sounds like an appealing
and reasonable slogan for govern
mental financing.
1t is nonsense to suppose that the
impoverished are ready to bleed and
die to see the budget balanced. Even
the threat that existing institutions
may collapse unless more revenue is
available scarcely can worry those
who have nothing, or next to it.
There is no point in talking OF
chaos to the unemployed, because
they already live there and know 1t.
If the well-to-do are eager to pre-
serve the economic structure which
prevails, they ought to be willing
to pay for it. And handsomely, at

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Infant Mortality Rate Is Lowered

For 1880, Chicago and st. Louis
led all other large cities with rate
of 81. Cleveland had SIS; New
York, 81; Philadelphia. SO; Los An
geles. 81; Detroit and Baltimore, SIS,
and Pittsburgh and Boston, SO.
These are our ten largest cities.
In each case, except that of Boston,
the rate for 1880 was lower than
for 1929.
A few cities in the United States
have shown remarkable improve
ment, and infant mortality rates in
some are so low that they represent
an extraordinary healthful situa-
ton.
One small city in Pennsylvania
has a rate of 259, but it happens to
be the location of an important
state institution for children, and
it draws infants from all over the
state.

Might Try Economy

THIS country's financial condi-
j. ton includes more than the
shortage of so many dollars. 1t in
cludes mistakes which must be cor
rected, and extravagances which
must be eliminated.
Racketeers are making enough to
balance the budget. Do gentlemen
in congress propose to ignore that
item?
The time has come to ask, what
are we getting for all the money,
and what would be the consequences
if we spent a little less?"
We are told that, in private life,
the dollar buys about 80 cents more
than it did a few years back, that
the cost of living has gone down
and that people can get along just
as well on lower wages.
If that gospel is good for clerks
and merchants, why not for con-
greSSmen?

astoundingly low rates. Thus Seat

Tacoma At and A, and Portland,

Whereas Chicago has a rate Of 81,
Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, has
a rate of % and Evanston a
rate of 80. This should show the
advantage of good air, sunlight, and
plenty of room for keeping good
health.
Several industrial centers in close
approximation to Chicago have
rates much higher than the city
proper; thus, Blue Island has a rate

HAAL, the son of a minister. was
4 4 a serious-minded youth of New
England ancestry. At Oberlin COL
lege he came under the influence OF
Or. Frank flaming Jewett, the pro-
lessor OF chemistry and mineroloov
In an address in 1920. Professor
Jewett told the story of Halls dis
coYery Of satisfactory method OF
manufacturing aluminium. He said:
My great discovery has been the
discovery of man. When I went
to Oberlin in 1880 on nv return
from four years teaching in japan.
there was little boy about Is years
Old who used to come to the chem
lstry laboratory frequently to buv a
lew cents worth of glass tubing or
test tubes or something of that sort
Not knowing anything about the
boy, l made up my mind that he
would make mark for himself
some day because he didn't spend
all his time playing, but already was
investigating. That boy was Charles
M. Hall.
After he had entered college and
was part way through the regular
course, I took him into my private
laboratory and gave him a place by
side-dlScussing his problems with
him from day to day.
Possibly a remark of mine in the
laboratory one day led him to turn
his attention to aluminium.
speaking to my students, I said
That II any one should invent a
process by which aluminium could
be made on commercial scale. not
only would he be benefactor to
the world, but would also be able
to lay up for himself a great for
tune.
