ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

. scale passage the notes are
 all but visible in their unhesi-
 tant clarity. Eddy, as he plays
 on his "Music of Romance"
 program heard every Wednes-
 day from 500 to S:3O D. m. EST
 over an NBC-WJZ network,
 talks to himself; he appears to
 experience an uncomfortable
 rapture not unlike one would
 imagine the great masters
 looked while composing, but
 even when Eddy fOndles . ca-
 dence of Chopin he Is no ChO-
 pinzee. His avOwed pleasure is
 joy to the public. He is merely
 as frank as they are about hav-
 ing good time with his music.
 As Eddy says, 'T not only try to
 express myself but also the pub-
 lic." At will Eddy can make a
 whole audience whistle or sing
 out loud, and he makes their
 feet tap. No man has done so
 much as Eddy Duchin tO restore
 the popularity of the piano, an
 instrument that had seemed un-
 able to survive the debilities
 brought by the photograph, and
 radio.
 Forty-eight States of the Union Ill the provinces of Canada and a iozen foreign countries are repre- sented in the long list of schools, student groups and individual pupils who have requested textbooks and nave indicated they will tune in each Tuesday to study music during Dr. Joseph E. Maddy's lo37-38 Fun in Music series. The demand for piano instruction books nas been so heavy that the first printing has been exhausted, ac- ,ording to NEG Central Division Director Judith Waller. This is in spite of the fact that the program, which is heard over a NBC-Red Network, at 200 p. rn., EST, was resumed for the current season only ast October 12. This is the first season Dr. Mady's music lesson ser- es, now in its second year over NEG networks and in its eighth year on he air, has included instruction in piano and voice. Heretofore, i1struc- ion was only for band instruments, The radio lessons, according to Miss by no means narrow the field for music teachers. They are and largely designed to awaken children's interest in music. Many thousands of children now Ire taking private music lessons as , result of having taken part in Dr, Maddy's radio series.

Ben Goldstein has again as- sembled a strong team which should be in the running all the way for first honors. He has taken on young Tehan who has all the ear- marks of a topnotcher. Ben's team jumped their average from 49l to SIP which gives you an idea how they are dumping over the pins.

 Operates to Capacity
 The hospital is operating to it's capacity of 40 beds and it's char ity is averaging 90 per cent, accord ing to the associations report.
 Many Alaskan children who have entered the Orthopedic, ill and crip- pied, have returned to the Terri tory healthy boys and girls after treatment and there are few people in Alaska who are not familiar with the work of the Seattle hospital

 Large donations are not asked though none will be refused, accord ing to Mrs Boyle.
 Envelopes Distributed
 The enevlopes will be left in all places of business down town, and though none will be delivered to homes, the attention of housewives is called to the envelopes which will be placed in prominent places in the stores where they may make their contributions.

WASHINGTON-Man people will remember
that the entire railroad system of the country
became public business during period OF the
World War and that the government came within
an ace of taking it over on permanent basis
when the war was over.
But not so many will remember that the gov
ernment embarked at that time on transpor-
tation system of its own, which is still operat-
ing, still the subject of controversy as it was
then, and today tremendous factor in the trans
portaton system OF the country.
This is the Inland Waterway Corporation,
familiarly known the Federal Barge Lines.
Last year it operated ater-transportation lines
on the Mississippi, Missouri Illinois, and War
rior River systems 1t operates the barges and
terminals and even runs a railroad connecting
the Warrior River system with the Birmingham
steel district.
Ever since the government was first estab-
lshed, it has poured millions of dollars into wild
ening deepening and keeping open the rivers
for transport Nobody ever objected to this
except an occasional taxpayer, but it was not
until 1918 that the logical step was taken.
The corporation was formed, and Congress
directed the War Department to carry on this
shipping enterprise "in the same manner, and
to the extent, as if such transportation
facilities privately owned and operated"
Stock to the amount of $4,000 900 was issued
and sold TO the treasury, which holds 1t.
An additional s3000.000 has been appropr-
ated to buy more stock, and this has been avail
able since 1882. But, reports Gen. 1. u ASnpurn,
the very able head of the Federal Barge Line, lit
is apparent that the corporation will never need
it." and he recommends that it be turned back
to the general funds of the treasury.
Proposals are now being made to extend
the barge line service to the Savannah and Co
lumbia rivers.
All this is of course, highly dispeasing to the
railroads who being helped by various other
federal agencies at the time this federal
agency is clipping their potential revenues 1t
has cost the taxpayer SAC 0O000." the Association
OF Railway Executives complained a few years
ago stressng the fact that the barge line free
of heavy taxes and burdensome competitor of
hard-pressed railroads.
But on the other hand, in the current report
of the IWC, saving of s2050,800 to the public is
claimed for 1885 as the difference between
charges paid on traffic routed via the barge
lines and what the charges would have been
if the traffic had moved by rail-"
Here, then. regardless of worth or right or
wrong, exerting a definite effect on labor and
transport on the rivers, on shipping costs, and
railroad competitors rates is huge trans
portation system run by the government. And
that is just item.

Bruce Cation Says:~
Constitution Reflects Nations Faith, Ideals

bly,. Those goals of freedom, de-
mocracy and equality have in large
measure been attained, not perfect
ly, perhaps-for perfection is rare
in human interchangeable very
substantially. And the very fact
that the country has existed for
century and a half under this Con-
stitution is the best guarantee that
it will continue under it in the fu-
ture.
A charter of freedom like our
Constitution does not go on living
of itself. 1t lives because it ex-
presses ideals which are dear to
the people who live under it. Our
Constitution is rounding out $50
years of service because the Amer
ican people are and have been
determined to remain free. The
Constitution is merely the instru-
ment through which they make
their determination effective.
1t is no blind subservience to the
written word that makes us revere
our Constitution. nor is it an un-
thinking obedience to the dead
hand of the past 1t is a reflection
of the ideal that animates us, of
the faith by which we order our
society As long as we are true
to that ideal and that faith, we
need not fear for the CONSTITUTIONS

Perhaps the most encouraging
thing about the Constitution OF
the United States is the fact that
after living under it for $50 years
we are still arguing about its pre-
else meaning.
That means that the document
is flexible. Being flexible, it is
adaptable to changing times. Be
cause this is true, it can obey that
memorable law of nature-"adapt
or die"
That fact is a good one to keep
in mind this fall, as we celebrate
the constitutions sesquicentennial.
We might save ourselves good
deal of argument about horse and
buggy days" and the fact that the
founding fathers did not foresee
this era of sea-to-sea highways,
giant corporations. mass produc-
ton and so on. For while 1t Is
quite true that the country Tor
which the Constitution was devised
contained none of those things, 1t
is equally true that that does not
necessarily make any difference.
They gave us Constitution which
is not rigid and inanimate, but
supple and alive.
1t is easy to lose sight of the
goal which the founding fathers
sought to reach. Fundamentally,
they were simply trying to make
certain that their America would
continue to be a democracy, a land
of freedom and of equal opportu-
nity. where men could live without
butting their heads against the
injustices and stupid cruelties in
separable from authoritarian re-
gimes. They had pretty clear idea
about the things that had been
fought for and won in the Ameri-
can revolution, and they wanted
those things preserved
During the century and a half
since they finished their work, the
Constitution has done its part no

LOYALTY IS NOT
FED BY FAVO%

1t is inevitable that there shall be an
open break between the national admin
istration and John L. Lewis, dictator of
CIO Lewis has demonstrated time and
again that the favors handed to ClO by
the New Deal have not won his loyalty,
nor even his thanks. The partiality of
the New Deal to CIO unionists has been
taken as a matter of course, a fact which
is not conducive to continued good will
between the federal government and the
union.
Lewis moral and ethical makeup is
such that he does not recognize favors
as such, but considers them his just due.
He feels that he owes the New Deal
nothing-but that the New Deal owes
him everything. Lewis does not want
impartiality from the government. Con-
slider his words in a recent widely publi-
cized speech!
at i'll behooves one who has supped
at labor's table, and who has been shell
tered in labor's house, to curse with
equal fervor and fine impartiality both
labor and its adversaries when they be-
come locked in deadly embrace"
The New Deal has supped in "labor's
(CIO's) house., as witness CLOS $780,
600 Democratic campaign contribution,
and CLOS $4,000 loan to the Democratic
National Committee. Now Lewis con-
siders that not all of the favors received
since have been enough to pay the New
Deals debt. He scorns "fine impartial
ity," and demands all the help a partial
government can give him.
Is it any wonder, then, that an open
break between Lewis and the federal
administration is inevitable? The New
Deal cannot morally support labor
faction which is only small part of the
total laboring population of the United
States 1t cannot continue, in justice to
all the people, to show partiality to the
unjust demands of one comparatively
small group.
The break must come, and sooR

Letters to the Editor
EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS,

EDITOR, THE POST PRESS,
DEAR SIR:
AS surely business is based production
and exchange of production, there at least
two classes of laborers productive and nom
productive. They are always in conflict for
the reason that the productive class is
living off of the productive class.
Production comes first. The class engaged
in production is the one the other class cannot
get along without. No producers, no produc-
ton; no production, no government, schools bus
iness or living. All would perish.
Dirt farmers field workers, oil well workers,
factory hands and other of their like are produc
tive workers. They MAKE their own living and
everything that others is theirs All others
GET their living in the form of tolls, profits,
taken in the exchange of goods between the
members of the different groups of producers
Competition, absolutely unrestricted, will regu-
late production hours and wages. and will make
a fair price relation for everyone. The only
way that our Democracy, which is based on
competitive economy endure is through
competition. Laws fixing salaries, wages and
prices; and labor unions; and combinations of
capital, industry and business, is the beginning
of what the government will inevitably finished
as a planned economy-a Russianized dictator
ship.

$50 YEARS AGO
FRIDAY

One hundred and fifty years ago Fri
day small group of men affixed sigma
lures to large piece of paper-and the
living document under which the United
States has since grown and prospered be-
came vital part of the history of the
world
That document is the Constitution of
the United States of America.
From here to Maine and from Florida
to the state of Washington, that docu-
ment has been more widely discussed
during the last two years than at any
other time since its adoption was the
burning issue of the day. There have
been abortive efforts to nullify the Con-
stitution by legislation rather than
amending it by vote of the people
There has been bitter political war
over the highest judicial tribunal of the
land, the duty of which it is to interpret
disputed laws in Constitutional light.
Never since those hectic days $50 years
ago has there been time when public
interest was so centered on the Consti-
tuition. Yet to many of US, arguing poll
tical pros and cons, the Constitution
remains something of mysterious docu-
ment. 1t is like the classics of literature,
so we'll known that we take it for granted
we have read it and know it, when actu-
ally our knowledge of it is very scant.
Constitution Day should remind US that
it is high time we became better acquaint-
ed with the highest law of our land.
Friday would be good day to find out
exactly what was in that document sign
ed $50 years ago by small handful of
men.
