BARS TO RECOVERY.

considerable purpose of the National Recovery Administration will be frustrated if means cannot be found to bring into line the steel, coal, oil and automove industries which Gen. Johnson has just declared are shortening the stride toward national recovery In two of the industries, steel and coal, unionism is at the base of the difficulty. In the oil and automotive industries, the producers seem unable to agree among themselves on the policy to follow The resistance of the oil refners has met with definite setback through the decision of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia which declined enjoin the Secretary of Interior from barring the interstate shipment of oil produced in violation of State regulations. The Secretary power to stop such shipments is vested in the National Recovery Act and while the Court did not directly rule the consttutonality of that law it significantly declared: Tn law it is recognized that necessity confers many rights and privileges that without necessity might not be conferred"
 It is national necessity that forms the basis of the National Recovery Act. Congress in it declared emergency to exist and vested the President with certain extraordinary powers for a two-year period so that some authority would be in position to deal with crises arising from abnormal conditions. It is gratifying that the first attack the statute has been repulsed by the judiciary.
 This will strengthen the hand of the National Recovery Administration in proceeding to deal with recacitrant industries. It will, of course follow out its policy of letting public opinion force the de- linquent businesses and trades into line But where there interests who feel they are sufficiently powerful to defy public opinion, it is comforting to know that the courts inclined to recognize the power that Congress has literally bestowed on the Chief Executive.
 The controversy in the coal mining industry is of the most serious handicaps the Administration has encountered Blame there must be divided. Mine operators in the Pittsburgh region have gone far to purchase vast stocks of coal from West Virginia to enable them to ride out long te-up in their fields, and have virtually defied the Administration to enforce any code of competition. But workers in the hardly less at fault Expecting more from the Recovery Act than they had any right to expect they refuse to CO., operate temporarily until code can be drafted and approved At the same time comes reports that agitators actively at work in certain Penn sylvania fields.
 Neither labor capital should seek to take advantage of public necessity at this time to en- deavor to force through impossible bargains For capital to try to exalt prices refuse to pay living wages is not less reprehensibe than for labor to endeavor to obtain impossible working conditions and excessively high wages. Where either is at fault every possible pressure from public sentiment

Midsummer Education.
(New York Times.)

(New York Times)
 It might have seemed madness few years ago to propose continuance of school into the hot months Now the Summer session in colleges and universities has become customary. New York is almost as much of educational center in August as in midwinter. And the student life is like that of the medieval universities when with the greater freedom and informality there is also the greater intellectual seriousness. Most of the patrons of the Summer session attending lectures, work ing in laboratories, because they want what is of fered, not because they are sent. It is serious business for them. Many the continent to enrich their experience and incidentally to be- come acquainted with their country-ridng in buses and sitting up nights.
 Columbia University alone has had this Summer nearly ten thousand students-a somewhat smaller number than usual, but still more than the eco- homie conditions led the authorities to expect Nearly two hundred came from the Far Western States. Every continental division, indeed, is well represented, with small contngents from Alaska the Canal Zone, the Hawaiian Islands the Philippines, Puerto Rico Virgin Islands and twenty-five differ ent lands It is noted that the number of teachers registered students is somewhat less in percentage than last year, but they still 645 per cent of the total.
 It is noticeable this year that governmental, economic and sociological courses have had an unusual following as compared with the courses in technique of teaching Interested audiences overflow the largest halls This is true of New York Uni versity as well. The New Deal" makes it's way into almost every course to emphasize it's social values. And relatively increasing number of men frequent the courses, though in the large majority. Summer sessions despite the un- favorable economic conditions of the moment, are significant of the educational regime, in which the adult is to keep on as perpetual student

AN UNJUST CRITICISM.

There has been great deal of criticism by some of the Dry elements as well as some members of the Republican parys organization because of what is termed the Presidents pressure on State govern ments to act promptly the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. According to the critics it is a menace to constitutional system for the Federal Gov ernment to use pressure on State Government to obtain action on a Constitutional amendment since the essence of the amending process is the freedom of the State to use it's own discretion.
 That the President, his aides, have infringed upon that freedom is yet to be shown MT. Roosevelt and MT Farley, National Chairman, well as Postmaster General, have both urged prompt action by the States Both have asked the States to ratify the repeal resolution But that is quite different thing to using actual pressure to force ratifica- ton No hint has been made that patronage has been used a weapon, that any other means of compulson used attempted to be used. MT. Roosevelt is the Democratic Partys titular leader, and MT Farley is the head of its regular national organization That party last year pledged itself and it's candidates to bring about Prohibition repeal MT Roosevelt and MT. Garner made that plank of their major issues.
 Now is the time to make good the partys prom ises. Who except MT. Roosevelt is in position to do that? Who better than MT Farley go on the stump, he has done in North Carolina, Ten nessee and other States, and urge upon the Demo- crats the duty. they owe as party men to that it's pledge is redeemed? Because the party system of Government is what it is repeal is responsibility upon the Democratic Party Surely it is logical for the President its head, and MT. Farley his chief of staff to demand that their followers keep their promise Both would fail in party responsibility if they did not do it. And it has been in their capacities party chieftains and not President and Postmaster General respectively that they have acted in this matter.

partner, he owns 100000 bottles of

in cool, rock-hewn vaults.
The contents of the cellars are worth
at least S1,000000, he estimates, pro

Lohman's ownership of the wine dates
from March, 1929. when he and his
partner bought the stock Of a company
established in 1859, with the object of
producing champagne equal to the best
French product"
The cellars in which the 100000 pints
and 400, 900 quarts are stored extend
in three tiers 35 feet below the street
level of downtown st. Louis. Walls are
3 feet thick and spring flows into one

Temperature in the cellars never rises
above 60 nor falls below SIS degrees. No
daylight can penetrate the cellars.

as w. D. Howard, 80, employed by the
woman as handyman at her home,
which is located about two blocks from
the spot where Mrs. Skeele's captors
had directed her husband to deposit the
$4,000 in ransom money they had de-
manded. Howard said he arrived here
from Kansas City six months ago.
The two denied any knowledge Of the
plot. Detectives said they had uncov-
cred enough circumstantial evidence to
warrant their temporary detention.
Mrs. Skeele was kidnapped last Sunday
night and was released "a hours later
without payment of ransom.

continuing to work on the theory that
former students Of the university may

ESCHEATED ESTATES

The report of the Territorial
Treasurer for the biennial period
beginning January 1, 1881, and
ending December 81, 1882, contains
one report that is probably without
parallel in the states.
During this period the Territory
received $7,964.17 from escheated
estates of 81 men and one woman.
In a white population of little more
than 10000 there were SS persons
who died leaving neither a will nor
any known heirs SO that the estates
were forfeited to the Territory.
Such a large number of escheated
estates in proportion to the popula-
ton is unusual In other sections.
The amount of the estates listed
varied the smallest amount escheat-
ed being s415 and the largest one
$1.434.7S.
While an escheated estate re-
yeais the fact that the deceased had
either cut himself off from his fam
lily or survived those closest to him,
and to a certain extent had led a
lonely life, it does not necessarily
mean that he was without friends.
Undoubtedly in each instance there
was a friend who he wished to re-
ceiye whatever of real or personal
property he left behind, and to
whom it would have been a most
welcome gift. but because he neg
lected to make will no one re-
ceived any especial benefit from
his estate.

into the Teachers Pension

into the Teachers Pension
Fund.
2. After twenty-five years of
teaching service. fifteen of
which must have been in the
Territorial schools, IL the ap-
plicant is fifty-five years of
age and has taught three of
the preceding five years in the
Territorial schools, a pension
of $500 per year may be
granted.
8. A disability pension may be
granted after ten years of
teaching service in the Ter
ritirial schools, provided total
and permanent disability oc-
Cured while engaged in teach
ing or within two years there
after.
During the biennium, four for
mer teachers awaited themselves of
the provisions of this act, and now
receive full pensions. One applica-
ton for a disability pension was re-
jected by the Teachers Pension
Board.
Receipts In the Teachers PEN
sion Fund amount to approximately
$4,000 per year. Payments for PEN
sions now equal $4,000 per year.
1t is probable that additional ap-
plications for pensions will be re-
ceived in the near future. 1t Is
obvious that no more full pensions
can be granted and have the system
remain solvent, as the disburse-
ments will then equal or exceed the
receipts.
"As the system now operates, the
Territory makes no contribution to
the pension fund. In effect, the
teachers retire the older members
of the profession. Nor ia there a
provision whereby a teacher, when
leaving the Territorial schools. may
withdraw payments made into the
pension fund. There is nothing to
prevent a teacher who left the Ter
ritory prior to the passage of the
act from returning for the express
purpose of teaching three years in
order to become eligible for the pen
sion. At least one such case has al
ready occurred. These defects
should be remedied."

principle can fail to enthuse over
apostrophes to Liberty, narratives
of struggles for Liberty, ringing as
sertion of the spirit of Liberty. Ii
we are intelligent at all, if we have
culture and well rounded human
ity, we are Libertarians. But a be-
lief in Liberty need not blind us to
the facts of human nature. We need
not persuade ourselves that the
name of Liberty has always been
used with the purest altruistic mo-
tives. We need not believe that ev-
cry struggle for Liberty has been
ideally inspired. In such struggles
there are always idealists, true
enough, but they are in the minor
ity. On the whole, men have ex-
claimed and fought about Liberty
because they wanted to get some
thing out of it. They wanted to i'm
prove their own situation They
wanted more prosperity and a bet
ter life, quite simply and practically,
for themselves Well and good. that
is right and beyond criticism: but
the rest of the story is nat flat
tering; too often, men have gained
Liberty only to turn about and OPP
press others. Once their own aim
has been secured. they have for
gotten the principle of Liberty If
they have not turned into oppres-
sors, they have at least become In
different concerning the situation
of their fellows! What say is that
a devotion to Liberty as a complete
and unselfish ideal is rare. Most
people consider the question only as
it personally affects them. If they
are free-that is to say, if they are
more comfortable and can do more
as they please, they worry not about
what other men have to bear. A
blow at another's rights. if it does
not hurt or menace them, leaves
them unmoved. The true spirit of
Liberty. clearly enough, must in
clude with a demand for ones own
rights a like regard for the rights
of all men. PAUL GALANG
