AN INFIDEL

L. X. Sharpe, president of the
American Retailers Association,
who occupies a position of suftl-
Gent prominence that he ought to
know better, has "spilled the
beans" by failing to join with the
official spokesman for business.
Instead of Ginning in the croaE-
ing chorus of the American Liber-
tv League and the United States
G h mber of Commerce, Mr..
Sharpe proved himself an infidel
TO the sacred cause of saving the
constitution, by voicing his unre.
served praise of the New Deal and
what it has lone for the nation.
At the annual convention of the
American Retailers Association,
now in session in st. Louis, Mr..
Sharpe had the temerity to pre-
diet that "from all available facts
we may, with assurance, expect a
decided improvement in I e ia
trade over lastspring."
But that is not the most astound-
ing extreme to which this leader
who represents at least "some"
business men went in his state
ment. He declared that at is my
opinion that this (favorable) con-
dition is due largely to govern
mental activities"
The "Big Boys" ought to get
this man Sharpe to the mourners'
bench pronto and start praying
with him or he's likely to say
something which will disillusiOn
some of the so-called Cuisines in
terests" who have been solemnly
warned that their salvation along
with that Of the constitution, de-
ponds on the defeat ofPrcsident
Roosevelt for reelection.
One could almost imagine that
those who heard Mr.. Sharpe's adj
dress were abletO sleep ssundly
last night without fearing that
their business was doomed to per.
dition in the event the present
governmental policies were con-

litical gHnsters, body, soul and

that ring cry aloud in mock dis
may, Gust see what the State
Legislature has done to us! And
we are helpless to help you, our
good people. because these are
laws--passed by the State Lcgis-
lature."
Legislatures should be careful
what laws they pass, no matter
if they do apply only to some par
ticular locality, and are sponsor
ed by the Legislative delegation
from that locality.
Legislatures should realized that
unhoiy laws-whether local or
otherwisc--cast an unholy light
over the entire legislature.
Furthermore, legislators should
do what they are supposed to 90
to the State capitol to do--they
should protect the interests and
the rights of the people. They
SHOULD examine every law that
comes before them-local or 9th
crwisc-and see whether Or not it
is a just law, a public-spirited
law, Il law for the people, or
whether it is a law to build up
special interests and privileges,
and to establish and strengthen
political tyranny.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

nation is likely to see a Second
New Deal"
In other words, as some of the
New Dealers already are predict
ing, the legislation killed by the
court-or laws of the same type
may be enacted all over again in
Roosevelt's second term, with the
likelihood that nearly all Of them
would be validated by the court.
Of course the idea is that Roose-
welt might get the opportunity of
appointing two new justices Of
liberal trend. Because the aver
age age of justices is II, and for
other reasons, it is generally be-
lieved F. D. R. will have such 2
chance to "re-make" the court if
he stays in the White House.
Conservative Justice Van De-
vanter's health is none too good
and it is rumored that he-as
we'll as Conservative Justice Nc
Reynolds-would have retired ere
this if he could have been sure
of being replaced by a conserva-
tive.
Whether either would try to
stick another four years after in
auguration in January, 1887, is
questionable.
CERTAIN Liberty League ora
~ tors already have warned the
voters that Rooreyelt will pack
the court if he gets back in. Any
such choice OF words is also Dues
tiOnabie.
Presidents have the constitu-
tional prerogatiye Of appointing
supreme court justices. If the
voters are afraid of the type Of
iurists Roosevelt will name if he
gets the chance, they can head
him of next November.
The voters might as well know
that Roosevelt probably will APP
,noint liberals of the Brandeis-
Stone-CardozO type if he can and
the Liberty League might as well
nrenare TO pipe down in case it
cant heat him this year.

MARTYR OF MOLOKIA WAS
TRUE HERO
By BRUCE CATION

By RRUCE CAIION
That natural human desire to go on llV-
ing as long as possible gives us an especial
admiration for the man who seems perfect
ly willing to give up his life for somebody
else.
Such men aren't precisely as common as
gooseberries, and when we find one we
usually put up a monument to him. Uh-
fortunately, the state of the world beng
what it is, most of the men who get these
monuments are soldiers, whose willingness
to die carries with it an equal willingness
to make a number of other people die
simultaneously.
But once in a while we get a man whose
bent for self-sacrifice has no strings to it; a
man who risks his life in the piping times
of peace, and goes down to his death with
out benefit of blaring bands or flutterlng
flags
When we find such man, we open Tor
him a special place in our hearts, because
he helps us to believe that the human race
is somehow a better, nobler group than we
ordinarily suppose.
A United States army transport Will
reach the Panama Canal Zone late this
month bearing the remains of Father Da-
mien, the famous Belgian priest who gave
his life for the lepers of Molokal.
Since 1888 his body has rested in hum
bic grave on that quiet Pacific island; now
it is being moved to Belgium, with the Bel
gian and American governments uniting to
honor it.
Now this Father Damien was something
special in the way of heroes. Molokai is a
long way from his native Belgium, and
there was nothing on earth to make him go
there except his own desire to lay down his
life in the service of total strangers.
He knew, in advance, what it would cost
him. Leprosy is about as repulsive and as
horrible disease as there is in the sac
category of mans afflictions. 1t is terror
itself, in physical form; through all the CEN
turtles, the leper has been regarded with
fear and horror.
But this quiet little priest wasn't AFRAID
of leprosy. He went to Molokai, knowing
that for the rest of his life he would see no
one but lepers, knowing that he hlmseH
would become leper and would die OF this
infinitely prolonged torture; and ne did Il
simply because these lepers needed help'
sbecause he felt that it was up to MN TO
give it to them.
There really are men like that, you see.
Selfishness is not after all, the one and
only handspring of human effort. Nor does
man need the stimulus of war, patriotic
fervor, and an endangered fatherland to
go out and meet a terrible death with level
eyes.
How we need to be reminded OF that
these days! The divinity that lies IN the
human heart is always ready to serve us;
we need only call on it. The one thing we
must never do is forget that it is there.

Highway Patrol
Aids Thousands
Officers Serve Many Drivers In
Trouble, Besides Enforcing
Laws

Members Of the Minnesota high
way patrol travelled 1.416,714 miles
during the first four months of this

warning 30,7S5 traffic law violat-
ors, handing out 10,858 tags for IL
legal equipment, arresting 1904

code, and attending 234 accidents.
These are only a few Of the 50
items Of public service included in
