FIRE COMPANY WILL DISPOSE
OF AMBULANCE

Because of the great expense in
keeping it in operation and the little
financial aid that has been received
from the residents Of Newark, Del,
and vicinity to help in maintaining it,
the Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder
Company has decided to dispose of
its ambulance. Elmer j. Ellison,
Charles M. Eissner, Charles Tasker,
Edwin C. Shakespeare, and Ira c.
Shellender, all officials of the fire
company, have been appointed by
President Daniel Stoll to dispose of
the machine. The cost of operating
the ambulance and the problem Of
securing drivers for it has caused
this action, 1t is said,
The machine was bought by the
Newark Chamber of Commerce in
1926 and was later taken over by
the fire company. The company
proposes to dispose of it by December
and announces that the machine
will be given to any local organiza-
ton, individual or group of irdivld-
uals who would carry on the work.

q philosophy of orderly individual
liberty and philosophy Of Govern
ment dictation.
Declares u. s. Thankful
for Supreme Court.
Ten of the assaults upon liberty
have already cracked against the Con-
stitution of the United States. And
has there been public outcry at their
loss? There has been a lift to the
soul of the Nation. Millions of aver
age men and women have given
thanks to the Almighty that the fore
thought of great Americans has saved
for them freedom itself.
But the court cannot deal with all
the assaults upon the spirit of Amer
ican liberty. It was the spirit of lib
erty which made our American civil
ization. That spirit made the Consti-
tuition. If that spirit Is gone the Con-
stitution is gone, even though its
words remain. The undermining Of
local Government by Capitalization at
Washington, the spoils system, the re-
duction of Congress to rubber stamp,
these monetary policies-what of
these?
The President implies he will not
retreat, despite the decisions of the
court. We have heard mutterings
that the Constitution must be
changed, that it is outmoded. that
it was useful only in the horse and
buggy days. There was sinister in
vitation to Congress to find means
to protect its own prerogative."
No progressive mind will feel that
the Constitution shall not be changed
to meet the needs of changing ma
tional life.
But what is the change these men
harbor in their minds? The Ameri-
can people have right to know. They
have the right to know it now.
Whatever that change may be, it
must be clear of those confusions
which impair the great safeguards Of
human liberty. There must never be
confusion in the bill of rights, the

A of New Deal idealism.
Recalls the Girls Story
OF Breaking Beautiful jug.
All this sometimes reminds me of
the small girl who said, Mother, you
know that beautiful jug that you said
had been handed down to us from
generation to generation?" Mother
replied, Eyes, Ann, what of it?" And
Ann answered solemnly. This gen.
Grafton dropped it."
But we may explore that still fur
ther. During the Hoover administra-
ton, despite the many emergency
agencies needed to meet the depres-
sion, the total number of Federal
officials was decreased by 10000 But
under the New Deal, part or full-time
political officials have been increased
by over 335,000 In his Jackson day
speech the President urged commit
tees of one to support the New Deal
in the camaign. He has good start
with $4,000 ommittees-and their
wives.
But the average man who does not
get his feet into the trough has to
carry these officials on his back.
We have started upon the road of
business recovery. That began in
stantly upon the restoration of some
degree of confidence by the Supreme
Court But it is a confused recovery.
We have still 100000 people on re-
lief after three years. Our durable
goods industries lag behind. That is
where the bulk OF the 10000. 900 on re-
lief comes from. Our construction in
dustries depend upon long-term conf
dence. But long-term confidence is
weak. BY a confused currency. men
do not have confidence in what 500
may buy five years hence.
Moreover, real and permanent re-
covery will not take place, SO long as
every business man must make blind
bet on these confusions in Washing
ton.
A balanced budget and a stable cur
rency would put more men to work
than the whole P. w. A. They need
confidence, not confusion.
These gigantic plans of dictated
economy were undertaken without
searching inquiry as to fact or expert
ence. They were undertaken without
even shaping on the anvil of debate.
They were undertaken in disregard
of the Constitution. They have
been without adequate administrative
checks and balances. They have beer

Do you conclude that the state of
the Union is one Of confusion? Is
this in the interest Of the average

Does this advance our children to-
ward finer, better and happier
life?"
A great American once said in ap-
plication to another crisis: I'VE have.
as all will agree. a free Government,
where every man has the right to be
equal with every other man. In this
great struggle, this form of govern

is endangered If our enemies succeed.
