Dictatorship Brings Mental
StagnatiOn

Raymond Clapper. wellknown
political writer and commentator of
the United States, is now studying
conditions in Europe He has Wis
tied Moscow and is now in Berlin.
In telling of fascism as he sees it
at work in Europe, he says that the
dictators over there rob their sub
jects of the right to think, deprive
them of the opportunity to think.
Newspapers, books, magazines. edu-
cation are all shaped to permit these
people to know only what the die
tator wants them to know, to hold
only the opinions he wants them to
hold. No man deserves to have such
power. But they have it."
That is what the fascist, the total
itarian state brings to its people.
Utter subservience. in both mind
and body, to the rulers who set
themselves up. Mental stagnation
must be the inevitable result To
make progress sure, mems minds
must be free to explore. to study. to
ponder, to cast about for better I'M
derstanding of old truths, to reach
out for new truth. The dictator
says, "You shall think only as I
permit you to think
And yet there are some people in
America who would Like to trans
plant that form of government to
the United States.

The movement to steal the forest
service from the department of ag-
riculture and hand 1t over for
plumber to the interior department
is gaining ground. 1t is disturbing
to all Idahoans interested in our
natural resources.
Our memory is not short. The
interior department always has been
hot-bed of politics, generally ruled
by peanut politicians and some
times infested with grafters bent
upon looting the country.
The United States forest service
has often been subjected to crit
cism, a share of it has been de-
served. But the vast majority oI
its mistakes have been honest mis-
takes, there is no bureau in the
federal government conducted by Q
higher type of men-and this ap-
plies to the big shots" in Washing

his first station forty miles from
the nearest road.
These men are not highly paid
Money is of little interest to most
of them. They have a real, lofty
ideal Of service in day when the
mere phrase is supposed to be q
joke, especially in government, and
the mere thought of putting them
under the domination of the in
terror department is repulsive.

Guffey's Unholy Three

C:INCE the fight on the Presidents
- court plan began in the senate, it
has become more and more obvious
that a serious split impends in the
Democratic party ranks. It was
not a secret that certain of the sena-
stors and representatives were
marked for extinction, fish fries and

But few expected the bombshell
that broke when Sen. Joseph F. Cuff
fey of Pennsylvania, in a radio
speech just before the end of the
session, openly named Senators o.
Mahoney of Texas, Burke of Ne
braska and Wheeler of Montana as
senators who would not return to
Washington after the next elections.

three men attacked when he said
that if Guffey's statement were true

PRIDE
By Frunk A. Gorbuii

bride can be a mans greatest
asset or it can be a fatal weak
ness. Which is it with you?
How often have you heard some
pompous Individual proclaim, 1T
is evident you don't know who [
am" or words to that effect. You
can be sure that there is a man
with a false pride who doesn't
amount to much, even to himself.
1t is a safe bet that he is self
important, overbearing and that
he will selfishly take any unfair
advantage that less belligerent
and less disagreeable people will
let him get away with.
The man with the right kind of
pride will not push himself for
ward, will not take advantage of
any position he has been able to
create for himself and does not
consider that he is entitled to any
special consideration.
When we see man whose pride
is publicly in evidence we can be
sure we see an inferior individual.
When we see a man who is prop
erly proud we see a man who is
retiring, unassuming and trust
worthy, whether he be rich or
poor.
One mans pride will cause him
to live beyond his means in order
to impress his neighbors. Anoth-
er's will cause him to starve rath-
er than accept charity. Discard
false pride.-Los Angeles Tribune,

Admiral Yarnell Protests

INCLE SAM was brought nearer
~ than ever to the unofficial war
in North China when a shell ex-
ploded on the deck of the Augusta,
flagship of the United States Ash
attic fleet, killing Freddie John Fal-
govt, a seaman, and wounding IL
others of the crew. The ship was
living at anchor in the Whangpoo riv-
err in the heart of the International
Settlement of Shanghai. 1t was i'm
possible to determine whether the
shell had been fired by the Chinese
or Japanese.
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, COM
mander of the fleet, warned the gov
ernments of both nations against
shellire over American and foreign
warships. The President and the
State department were inclined to
leave diplomatic overtures to the
military, naval and diplomatic Off
GERS in China. The President de-
clared that under the circumstances
accidents such as the one which
beset the Augusta were bound to
occur.

IOt1N Il. LEWIS chairman OF the
y Committee for Industrial Organ
ization, added his condemnation of
the seventy-ffth congress to that of
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, for
not passing the wage-hour bill. Lew
is threatened to lead his followers
out of the Democratic party unless
it delivered" on campaign prom
ises. Leaders, he said, must "either
restore sufficient party discipline to
permit government to FUNCTION un-
der their guidance or confess that
their party is not the vehicle by
which the people of the country may
progress to solution of their press
ing social problems"
Lewis had just received another
disappointment when the New York
shipyard strike of a c. I. o. affiliate
collapsed after nine weeks. In
surgents took command of approx
imately 1000 members of the In
dustrial Union of Marine and Ship
building Workers and voted to re-

Question Blacks Eligibility

II SSlldtS lllS CSi-
i dents nomination of Sen. Hugo
L. Black of Alabama to the Supreme
court, 63 to 16, but only after
bitter fight, following which the mi
nority protested that the confrma-
ton had been railroaded through.
Six Democrats and ten Republic
cans voted against Black. The DEM
ocratic insurgents, led by Edward
R. Burke (Neb) and Royal S. Cope
land IN. " based their objections
principally upon charges that he
was associated with the Ku Klux
Khan, and therefore untitled to sit
with the high tribunal for reasons
of racial and religious prejudice.
The Republicans, notably William
E. Borah (Idaho), argued that he
could not legally become member
of the court.
That his eligibility might be tested
before the court itself was posi-
bility when Attorney Albert Levitt,
former special assistant to Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings, filed
a plea for leave to pray an order
for Black to show affirmatively why
he should be permitted to serve as
an associate justice. He raised the
same legal questions as the Repub-
lican minority had:
/. That Black could not become a
justice because during his term as
a senator the Summers retirement
act was passed, permitting justices
to retire at full pay. The Constitu-
ton provides that no member of
congress shall be appointed to an
office which was created or the
emolument of which was increased
during his membership in congress.
2. That no vacancy existed on the
Supreme court anyway, since JUS
tice Willis Van Devanter had only
retired, not resigned, and may still
be called for judicial service by the
chief justice.
1t was expected that the Black
appointment would become political
fodder in the ney+ campaign.
