labor under his recovery program and
for that act he deserves the highest
commentator. But it should be re-
mcmbered that the ban against child
labor by the MIRA is only for period
Of two years. Never again should it be
possible for greedy humanity 10 exploit
the labor. Of little children To make
certain that this never will again be
possible, a child labor amendment
should be in force before the close Of
the MIRA period.
The inherent right Of childhood is
laughter and play in Gods bright sun
shine and pure air, that their little
souls and bodies may develop in health
and cheerfulness. To imprison them in
black underground coal mines or to
feeding machine hour after hour is a
crime to high heaven.
A child should not be deprived of the
discipline Of all labor. They should have
their daily tasks to train them in in
dustry and responsibility, but here is
one place where the profit motive
should not be permitted. Little chill
dren should not be used to earn a
living for themselves and for their
elders.

UNW1SE TO SMOOTH OVER
IMPEACHMENT MATTER

The failure of the lower house of the
Montana legislature to go through with
its attempt to start impeachment pro-
ceedings against Governor Cooney and
Secretary of State Mitchell is to be re-
GREETED. An investigating committee
composed of four democrats and three
republicans had unanimously submit
ted report charging the two officials
with serious malfesance. The report was
adopted by the house. In view of the
serious charges, the unanimous report
of the investigating committee and its
adoption by the house, the matter
should have been pushed to trial.
The two officials are either guilty or
they are innocent. If they are guilty
of only small part of what they
were charged with, good government
and the welfare of Montana would re-
quire that they be elected from office
and made to suffer in full for their
misconduct If they are innocent of any
wrong doing, then they should have an
opportunity to prove their innocence.
As the affair now stands, there is a
large number of citizens who will have
strong suspicious that two high official
positions of the state are held by men
wholly unfit to serve the public. That
is deplorable condition These men
should either be freed of the charges
or they should be kicked out of office.

SUPREME COURT SHOWS
LIBERAL TREND.

Much interest is being taken over the
nation in the decision of the United
States supreme court in the Minnesota
Mortgage Moratorium case. The deci-
sion was the first one the highest court
of the land has made bearing on New
Deal legislation 1t is hailed as, in a
sense, victory for the national adj
ministration.
The decision was as to the constitu-
tionality Of state law and to that ex-
tent is not direct indication of the SUI
preme courts stand on the revolution
airy program President Roosevelt is
fathering. However, the Minnesota case
does indicate how the court may look
on not only state but also national
legislation that aims to build up bet
ter and more effective social organiza-
ton in the United States.
However, there are some features in
this decision worthy of note As we
understand il, the Minnesota mortgage
moratorium law postponed to the flu
ture payments that had become due on
mortgages, thus giving the property
owner time to recover from the bur
den Of the depression and not lose his
home or farm by foreclosure, The SUI
preme court in this decision, says in
effect that the mortgage can not be
wiped out and cancelled, that the date
of its payment is only extended, and
that principal and interest shall ulti-
mately be paid. There is to be no con-
fiscation Of property by edict Of law
The right of contract, as stipulated in
mortgage, is not to be violated ex-
eept as to extension of time of pay
ment, and that extension is considered
to be justified by unusual circum-
stances and by consideration Of public
welfare.
The decision should be considered .
liberal instead Of radical ruling. And
it was made possible by the act Of
Chief Justice Charles Evan Hughes
His vote swung the decision to the lib
eral side, and he wrote the decision
This action by the chief justice APP
parently lines him up with the liberals
In late years the tendency has been Il
class him with the conservatives, the
defenders of property rights. But one
ought to remember the outstanding
service Hughes gave society when, a:
a young man, he fought through in
surance investigations in New Yorl
and when as governor he forced
through legislation against race-tracE
gambling. One writer in commenting
on this late decision says, 1T may fal

GIVEN
FREEDOM FOR
A MINUTE
Sentence Voided in Larceny
Case, But Justice 0'Donoghue
Orders Man Held

Squirming through a legal
loophole, George A. Gormley, 36,
convicted with Countess Grace
DeBenque several months ago in
the $4,000 grand larceny from
Miss Louise Maret, proprietor Of
the Maret School for Girls, OBJ
tained his freedom for about one
minute today in District Supreme
Court.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue
held Gormley's sentence was void
and liberated him on write of
habeaS corpus. He then remanded
Gormley in custody of a deputy
marshal to await reSentencing
later in the day.
The writ was sued out by
Joseph c. Turco, counsel for
Gormley. Gormley was convicted
Of a crime dating back to
October, 1881, but was sentenced
by Justice Joseph w. Cox under
the indeterminate sentence law,
passed in July, 1882, to serve
four to eight years in prison.
Turco argued the sentence, for
this reason, was void and his
contention was conceded by AS
sistant United States Attorney
John J. Wilson.
However, the Government cited
cases showing that in such a
situation where a sentence was
void, the term Of court did not
expire and a defendant might be
reSentenced.
Justice O'Donoghue decided
the court term had not expired,
freed Gormley and almost i'm
mediately remanded him to await
the new sentence.
AS a result of the proceedings,
Gormley may lose credit for the
time which he has served under
the void sentence.

Intimation that if Congress re-
fuses to endorse the proposed
Government factory at ReedSville,
w. Va, a private corporation will
be formed by the villagers to
operate the factory was given
today by Mrs. Roosevelt, who has
been greatly interested in the
project.
Mrs. Roosevelt:
Even If it is not a Govern
ment project it can still go
through as a corporation of the
men themselves. In which case
it would be an industrial ex-
pertinent run by people of one
neighbOrhood. This would be
an entirely possible way of
meeting objections to it, and at
the same time it would disclose
the cheapest practical way of
producing this kind Of equip
ment."
The factory, according to plans
will produce postoffice equipment
letter boxes, etc., now hired by
postmasters of a certain class.
Objection to the factory on the
grounds that it is Government
