Everyday LiUing
PURE PACIFISM
By JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
tCopyrisht 1887. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.

"In spite of your piece on Armed Peace,
which upset me terribly" reader wrlteS'
IL still think that constructive and pure
pacifism is the only way out OF the war
mess.
"At least it enables one to make protest
against all war as wrong, and that IS some
thing. Do not small minoritics always have
to be crucilicd in behalf of spiritual ad-
vance,"
But has my reader thought the paclticlSt
position through, to see what it adds up TO /!
One can say that war is wickCd-cven war
for defense or to protect the weak-but can
he keep out?
The army may do the fighting, but the
rest of the nation have just as much to 40
with carving on the war-furnshng food
and munitions, while keeping the nation IL
self going
Any kind of work man does is helping
with the war, directly or indirectly. helping
to kill the enemy. But if he refuses to work
as we'll as to fight, then he is aiding the
enemy.
In other words, if he does not help his
nation he hndcrs it, If he hindcrS the nation
he helps the enemy to kill his own country
men, or aids in the defeat of his own coun-
try.
1t is impossible to be neutral. The only
way he could get completely out of the war
would be to go to some other country Even
then he would deprive his country OF his
help.
The same is true if he is put i'll prison
for his refusal to fight. He would be put to
some productive work in prison. and that
would be aiding the war, one way or an
other.
To be sure he makes his protest, but the
awful thing is that he owes his freedom to
do so to the risks and sut1erings of the men
who are willing to do the fighting at the
front
The situation is intolcrablc. but there it
is. Thorcau refused to pay taxes to help the
war against Mexico and went to Jail But,
alas. he thereby helped the war on the other
side!

Too Much Big Brother And Sister
HILDA RICHMOND
(National kindergarten Association Service

For some time Mrs. Alton, oc-
cupied with the new baby, will not
notice that Harold aged four and
his sister June two years younger
were slipping away from her. At
first it was quite convenient and
delightful to know that Aunt
Eleanor kept them safe and COM
tented while she was fretted with
many cares, but now that the
new baby was not so new she had
time to observe certain attitudes
that evidently had become we'll
established in the lives Of the
other two.
She knew it was childish and
unfair, but one day she asked
point blank if Harold loved Aunt
Eleanor more than he loved his
own mother. Of course June
could not be expected to answer
such a question. but Harold with
the frankness of childhood re-
piled that he did love Aunt Elearl-
or more. .:'.
She lets me sit in her lap and
she doesn't call me Big Brother all
the time" explained the little boy.
But you are Big Brother to
June and the new baby" said the
amazed mother. 1T is a fine thing
to be big and able to help care
for little brother and sister,"
"NoS all the time" said Harold
stoutly. Il like to be little some
times"
Mrs Alton said later that she
had learned more from that one
sentence from the lips of her child
than all the books on child train
ing had taught her. No doubt
she should have learned more
from the books, but here was her
own precious first born really
bringing her to her senses as to
childish rights. -,
But Mother is so busy with the
new baby" she began lamely.
New baby asleep now!' 'piped
up little June.
At that moment some little
playmates called the two children,
and the subject was dropped for
the moment, but that afternoon
when the children's maternal
grandmother called, the young
mother took it up again. Moth
er, do you think pay too much
attention to the new baby and

What Other Editors Say
$4,000 Special Attorneys

II seems TO be the custom these days to connect
a considerable number of special assistants to
the attorney-generas office and send them scout
ing around the country to represent Uncle Sam in
this that or the other lawsuit. Whether or not all
the suits are worth the price and all the special
attorneys are needed not willing to say. II
they are or if they are going to be hired anyhow,
there is no particular reason why former Governor
EhringhauS shouldn't get in on it and take his
share of 900 fees We feel he is as capable
as others the list and his turn in the governor
chair qualified him politically.
We remember, however, having let out a cheer
or so for Mr EhringhauS when he rejected one
rendered assignment with the statement that some
one nearer the scene of the Suit-SomeWhere OUT
West we believe it was-could do the job better
and for less. And having done that, we are not
quite in position to raise another cheer in praise
of the former governor for caShing $4,000 check
from Uncle Sam in payment for his services in
suit in New York that hasn't yet been tried. Meas
ured by the established fee scale, the $4,000 may
be reasonable and what MI. Ehringhaus has done
and proposed to do in the matter OF prosecutor
violators of the arms embargo on shipment OF
munitions to participants in the Chaco war, in
South America may be worth $4,000 and more
to Uncle Sam 1t would seem that both sides may
have helped appearances had they confined pre-
payment of fees to expenses and made final settle
ment after conclusion of the suit.
For all we know, though, the $4,000 already
paid is but part of the total sum and more is in
waiting.
Anyhow when lawyer get as much for
handling one in the capacity OF special
assistant attorney general there isn't much mcen-
tive in front of the full-tme assistant attorney
general who gets $4,000 per year. And maybe that
explains why Uncle Sans regular" attorneys are
always calling for special assistants in special
cases.
Perhaps it would be cheaper and better plan
to recruit crop of frst-rate lawyers pay them
respectable salary and depend on them to handle
the governments legal business special and regular.
But then that would preclude the rewarding of
so great number of political friends in so short
a time and that wouldn't be good for the givers
and receivers of patronage.-Durham Herald.

to do this thing" he complained.
1T is unfair to the committee be-
cause we are doing the best we
can to help the farmer. We must
settle this problem constructive
ly and permanently"
Cotton Ed did no'S go into de-
tails, but what he wants IS a
guarantee of 12-cent cotton with
no farm bill to restrict product
ion. An extra session in October
would interfere with his junket.
d. c. Gold Rush
Believe it or not, but gold-min-
ing has sprung up just across the
Potomac River from the Nations
Capitol. Furthermore, the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation has
lent money to develop it.
The gold mine in question is
the Virginia Mines, Inc, operated
by a man named De Saba, and is
located at Mclean, Va, not far
from the historic Chain Bridge
which joins the District of Col
umbia and Virginia.
Details of the mining operation
are not known, and have been
kept secret. However, the RFC
thought the venture was worth
at least $4,000, for tight-fiSted
Jesse Jones advanced that much
money to the firm, taking mort
gage on the property as security.
Whether a gold rush will be the
next developments around the Ma
tion'S Capitol remains to be seen.
Chief development so far is the
joshing the RFC is getting for
lending money to develop a COM
modify of which there is already
too much in the United States,
and which Secretary Morgenthau
has to buy at a padded price to
ship off to his gold cashe in Ken
lucky.

Franklin Mott Gunther, newly
appointed American Minister to
Roumania, spent his life as a
career diplomat, but won his pre-
sent post as a political appoin3ee.
He has been a heavy contributor
to both of Roosevelt's campaigns.

Invented Electric Bell

In 1876. a Scottish monk named
Gordon. then teaching in Germany,
invented the electric bell. 1t had
two little gongs, between which was
suspended metal ball on a silk
pendulum. The charged ball struck
one gong, gave up its electricity in
doing so, and, being repelled, struck
the other gong, and the cycle was
repeated. Then the monk invented
a motor with which he electrocuted
scores Of chaffinches. 1t was the
forelunner of the electric chair.

Camp
In response to repeated inquir-
les about life at our own Fresh
Air Camp for Harassed Business
Men, the column is happy to place
further facts before the general
public today. Everything at the
camp is going splendidly, and the
miraculous effect on inmates may
be best gained from the case of
Mr.. X and of Mr.. z, Two promin-
ent industrialists. After 48 hours
in this sylvan retreat, cut off
from all Washington news, Mr.. x
passed normal breathing test
and slept an entire night without
crying our in his sleep, "Leggo
my throat!' \
MI. rs case was even more eX-
traordinary. Mr. z, the head of a
corporation employing thousands,
had to be carried into the camp
on a Stretcher. He was a COM
plete wreck as a result of N. L.
R. B. hearings. After three days
away from it all, thai wild look
disappeared from his eyes and he
would let strangers approach
within Is to 20 yards of him with
out breaking for the underbrush.
The camp is full of N. L. R. B.

OUR GREAT

fourth of the gainfully employed in the
United States work in industries unheard of
in 1870
Science and engineering, aided by me-
chanical power" says the report, shave been
responsible for the creation during the past
10 years, where nothing was before, of such
giant industries as those which manufacture
automobiles, radios, typewriters, talking ma
chimes, airplanes, electric refrigerators, air
conditioning equipment and telephones, as
we'll as new utilities which are concerned
with electric communication, electric trans
portation, and electric light and power.
These have not displaced labor, but have
added new opportunities for profitable EN-
plOyment and happy careers for millions of
people,
In the first half of the past century
Southern planter who owned 400 slaves was
accounted rich. Today power in the way of
electrical energy is available for each of our
80 million families on basis of 40 horse
power per family, the equivalent of 400
slaves per family.
