The Field Is Open

The field seems to be open to those who can command vast radio audiences and reach into millions of American homes General Hugh s. Johnson, who was never one to pass an opportunity to let loose barrage of rich, ripe verbiage at an oppo- nent or enemy, took the limelight Monday night with a well-aimed and well-timed barrage on the trenches of Senator Huey Long of Louisiana and the Rev Charles B. Coughlin of Detroit. It was the char acteristic Johnson speech with plenty of fireworks, aliterative title for the two mentioned above, etc.
 We hold no brief for General Johnson or those he attacked. It was his right to do so, if he so desired. But it only goes to show the trend of the times. True, Gen. eral Johnson did a bit of defending. That's unusual For the most part today all we hear is attacks. If it isn't President Roose- welt, or the New Deal, it is some individual member of his administration, or the de- partment with which the person is con- nected or the work that he or she is do- ing. Apparently nothing for the national good comes from Washington any more. We don't believe that.
 Unconsciously or otherwise General Johnson left lot of truths staring his listeners in the face. In the course of his remarks he said, ''The most dangerous revolutionary in the world is the sincere one - the more sincere, the more danger ous. Also, in this country at least, it is the opinion and not the garb or station of the man who holds it that counts. White or black-butcher, baker or candlestick- maker, every man has a right to his say regardless. -"
 We should have liked General Johnson to have pointed out, as we would also Father Coughlin and Senator Long, that this is still land of opportunity. It is given to all men to come into this land born free and equal. We offer no defense for the segregation of wealth and power in the hands of few. But we do not sub- scribe to the theory we should recarve the land, redistribute it's wealth taking by force if necessary and dropping equal amounts into the laps of those who by lack of initiative have foundered. Agita- tors appeal to the reason or emotion. Both are being shaken today. Perhaps if we were deaf for time we might remain in blissful ignorance
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-06
The Great Dissenter

No American of recent memory has commanded the respect and love of the nation like Oliver Wendell Holmes. His death at the advanced age of 94 leaves one with sense of forlornness. It was ex- pressed in a minor degree when early in February, 1882, he penned his resignation as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Had he waited one more month he would have submitted the resignation to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and thus completed Roosevelt cycle, for it was during the administration of Theodore Roosevelt that he was summoned to Washington to our highest tribunal.
 No justice ever ascended the bench ot the Supreme Court to attain the popular ity of the revered Holmes. Usually there is halo of austerity and unapproachable- ness around these august dispensers of justice. Not so with the man with the famous name from Massachusetts. He proceeded to exemplify as he had through all his life the very human traits that were his. He never approached one decision in his half century of Judging without considering first and foremost the rights of man. They were always of more lm- portance than property rights.
 WHIle He ulu llot eoCdDIioH aIy loIolu by his service on the Supreme Court bench other than his service long after the age when most men would have retired to private life, he certainly did in his ad- herence to liberalism. For many years he was the lone liberal of the court, thence his title of the Great Dissenter. But his last years on the bench were happier as he saw the principles he had defended taken up by others. We only hope that his influ- ence will be felt long after his name IS forgotten. It would be perhaps the most fitting tribute to him.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-06

day to receive sentences for having har- bored or assisted tough Clyde Barrow, recently deceased, and his cigar-puffing paramour, Bonnie Parker, also recently deceased.
 Among them were the mothers of the two outlaws, assorted sisters, brothers, friends, and a scattering of what might euphemistically be called business asso- ciates. At one time or another these per- sons had helped the outlaws hide from the police, or had given them help in getting from some hot spot to spot not so hot, or had done this or that to make their careers of crime more lucrative.
 Judge William H. Atwell lost no time in handing out sentences which Tn some cases ran as high as two years in prison. The two mothers drew 30-day terms m jail And as a result, only one person of all those who at one time associated with the Barrow gang remains unpunished to- day - the gangster Raymond Hamilton, now being hunted by posses all over the southwest. Now roundup of this kind does not get tenth of the public atten- tion that the actual staying or imprisoll- ment of notorious criminal gets; but in the long run it is every bit as important Tn the drive to stamp out lawlessness.
 No outlaw plays lone hand, in modern America The man who tried it wouldn't last month. There must be friends who can furnish hiding places in time of trouble who can advance funds in the low spells between robberies, who can carry communications and help in forming plans and do all the other little services which enable a criminal to carry on his career.
 To knock off the leading criminal and 1aavo thiS nntyUork Of friends and helDerS untouched is to invite repetition of the trouble Getting the leader himself is the first job, of course. But after that has been done, the persons who made his career possible need attention. Blows like the one against the Barrow clan in Texas are the best kind of crime prevention work. Nothing will put crimp in activi- ties of the Dillingers and the Floyds like general public realization that to give any kind of help to such men is exceedingly unheathful.
