Chore Bows in Congress

congressmans lot, like a Gilbert and Sullivan
poicemans, is not happy one.
Take the case of Representative David John Lewis
of Cumberland Of Marylands six men of congress,
none is ADLER than Lewis. His career, from the time
he started work at 8 as a coal miner, has been one
of sturdy honest service.
AS former United States tariff commissioner
and four-term congressman, he has led the fight
against Crundysm. He was father of the parcel
post He headed move to regulate coal mining,
handled the Costigan-La Toilette relief bill in the
house framed other constructive national measures.
Yet he is the one Marylander who faces serious
opposition The chief charge against him is that
he is too much a statesman too little messenger
for his constituents
Lewis dilemma is not unusual, If congressman
become effective in national international matters,
they're damned by the local boosters for letting others
get away with the pork.
If they spend their days running errands for the
home folks to the neglect of the duties of satecraft
they're damned as provincisls. Which horn shall
they grasp?
A good congressman, of course, will grasp them
both Since his is dual function, he Will work
for the home folks and for the U. S. A. with equal
energy And, since each year the job of law making
at Washington becomes more eXacting each year the
neople should choose their representatives with
greater care.
Right now there are too many local messengers,
too few statesmen The ideal is happy combna-
ton of both In selecting their 435 representatives
and thirty-three senators this fall the voters Will
do well to remember that something more is needed
than chore boys

Putting the Kellogg Pact to the Test


According to the kellogg pact the United States
has renowned war as instrument Of national pol
lev But the nation Objects apparently to having It's
prospective citizens do So The Macintosh case, oe-
cded by the supreme court last year, illustrated this
Professor Macintosh asserted that he would have
to get advice from his conscience and God before he
could participate in another war. His citizenship APP
plication was denied
A much more specific effort to expose the incon-
sstency of the government was made in the case Of
w H Dewar, who appeared recently before Judge
stein in Elizabeth N j.. applying for citizenship
He tied up his application specifically with the
language of the Kellogg pact He describes his ex-
perience in a letter to the American Civil Liberties
Union:
Il appeared before Judge Alfred A. Stein in county
court Feb IS representative of the government Mr.
steadman said to Judge Stein that had been In
struced 10 send in written statement and had failed
to do so
Il explained to Judge Stein that l. and my wit

as to whether should send written statement or an
swer questions before him.

that there be written statement Judge stein sug
gested that retire to his chambers and prepare such
statement I do not have copy of that statement
as it was written in onghand
THE government representative asked for an op-
portnitv to present a brief opposing the application
vnereupon Judge stein took the matter under advise
ment.
"Mr Forrest Bailey wrote me suggesting that I
seek an opportunity to state my reservation in the
language of the kellogg BRAND peace pact
Il got in touch with Judge STEIN explained to him
that would like opportunity to put in substitute
statement in more careful language He said could
do this and I then sent the following statement

were taken directly from the Kellogg peace pact,

Ask the Candidates

The petty loan gentry basking in the protection OF
a law that gives them the right to charge AZ per cent
year to the desperate borrower, in happy spot
The special session Of the legislature failed to pass
any law that would lessen this rate Of interest. The
death of the proposals came in the house where
members of both parties joined in the last moment
in the slaughter
The inside history Of the death Of needed laws is
not pleasant one 1t is filled with distressing Incl
dents The methods Of the lobby were worse than
those employed by the utilities and they we're bad
enough
SO until new legislature and a Governor are
elected, the same old usury will prevail.
Some of the companies enaged in this business in
sst that they do not charge above the per cent
month which was the limit suggested in proposed
laws But unfortunately for themselves, they Joined
with the others in endeavorng TO defeat the remedial
measures and must accept part Of the responsibility
The government loans money to banks and rail-
and big financial institutions at BE per cent
year
It is quite conceivable that some of this money
finds its way to these very loan companies to be loaned
out to human beings at 81 per cent month.
Usury is the oldest Of recognized social crimes 1t
dates back into written history the worst form of
offense.
Before you vote for any candidate for the next
legislature find out whether he voted this
in the special session. If he voted to protect the pres
en practices you safely afford to vote for his OPP
ponent You could do worse
If the candidate is not asking reelection ask him
where he stands on this matter 1t will be guide
to his fitness for office.
There is a need ip society for these loaners to
those who have great needs and little security But
there is no place for those concerns which by copsr
ison would make philanthropist of shylock.
Two per cent month should seem to be fair
return in the days when the government is loaning
to private industry at 31z per cent year.

Union county naturalization court is held the last
Thursday of each month. 1t so happened that Judge
Stein not sitting until June 30 appeared on that
day and the application was denied
Judge Stein said he was very sorry, but on the
basis of previous decisions, submitted to him in the
government brief, he would have to deny the applca-
ton. asked if the revised statement had been taken
into consideration in reaching his decision and he re-
piled that it had.
In denying the application, he said he did so
without prejudice, which meant that should at any
time change my views, and make new application
this decision would in any way prejudice the new
application.
i do not know what in the government brief
but on my first appearance in court Mr. Steadman
called attention to the fact that my position was
similar to that taken by Professor Macintosh and
I presume it is that decision that the objection
was made"

Salt DOneS
THE seismographs give clews

TINE SeiSmographs give clews to
l. the geological formations, be-
cause different kinds of rocks trans
NIT vibrations at different speeds.
The speed varies directly with the
elasticity of the rock involved and
inversely with the density, DR.. Kelly
says.
Because the earthquake waves.
like light waves, undergo reflection
and refraction," he continues, geo
physicists often can deduce the
depths to underlying rocks and
their nature from the waves which
are reflected or refracted to the sur
face.
Seismic methods are especially
useful in discovering salt domes with
which oil often occurs, and in study
ing deep-lying geological structures
in known and prospective oilbearing
regions"
DR.. Kelly also describes electrical
methods of prospecting in his re-
port.
Differences in the resistances Of
fered by rock types to the flow of
electric currents form the basis of
electrical methods Of prospecting,
he says. "A current passing through
perfectly homogeneous ground will
distribute itself according to a
known and practicable pattern"
"A ferent conductivity than its
surroundings will, however, distort
this pattern, the current paths ap-
parently being drawn toward a good
conductor, but repulsed from a poor
one"

MINIATURE earthquakes are the
WI latest in prospecting methods.
They are being used in attempts to
locate oil. valuable ores. and min

The creators of the miniature
earthquakes are known as seismic

charges to set up the earth tremors.
These tiny earthquakes are regis

How the seismic explorers work is

In mechanical seismographs, a
heavy weight is attached lightly to
a base set firmly on the ground he

slightly. the weight remains practi-
cally stationary, due to its great in
