LIBERTY IN ITS FULLNESS
Editor Askov American:

"You can't eat your cake and have
it." So you can't ask for govern
ment aid without getting government
supervision. The critics of the New
Deal are right, some liberties will
be lost, but after all we can get along
without some liberties.
The Indians in Alaska, where 1
spent ten years, in their old state
had liberty. They were free to do
as they please, roam about, fight,
starve and freeze. When they asked
for and received government help
they lost some of their liberties, but
received hospitals, schools and other
aid which they could not have OBJ
tanned without government help.
Surely the Indians are now better off
than they were in their original state.
The broncos of Montana have
more liberty than the domesticated
horses, they are free to do as they
please. They have no barns and
fences to restrain them, in the winter
they sleep out in the open and scratch
snow off the field to get food. In
the spring their carcasses dot the
landscape as far as you can see.
Surely-the domesticated horses are
better Off
The inmates in Alcatraz Island,
where 1 was on duty for two years,
did not have much liberty, still they
were more happy then when they
were doing the things that caused
them to be there
The people in France where 1 spent
two years, did not have any bill of
rights, or common law, but under
the Napoleon Code of Laws and civil
law, they were fully as free and happy
as those in the English speaking
world
The person who is a mere cog in
a machine is as happy as he who is
lying on the scrap heap. A cog in
machine has at least the satisfac-
ton of knowing that he is playing
useful and constructive part. He
is part of the scheme of things.
Human happiness and satisfaction

independence Birthday

On Friday it will be $50 years since
the signing of the Declaration of
independence. The Declaration was
adopted on July 4, 1776 but was
not signed until Sept. II, 1877 by the
delegates to the Continental Congress.
One hundred and fifty years is a
long time and it speaks well for the
farsightedness of our early fathers
in drafting a program for the future
conduct of the country which could
endure for so long a period. No
wonder the American people are de-
lirious with celebration when July 4
rolls around each year; ours is a
true independence and we must keep
it so.

September has been decreed as
safety month in the state of Mime

it as is the custom, and committees

that something can be accomplished
if the proper amount of effort is
put into it. Why wouldn't it be good
thing to continue this same effort
throughout the year instead of taking

a pennant of Harris in 1888. But
he will be judged by his works,
and sternly judged. 1t was Harris
who assembled most of the Detroit
team that won the pennant in
1884. He didn't have Mickey
Cochrane or he might have won
the pennant.
CRONIN FAILS
Harris assembled the strongest
elements of the Boston Red SoX,
but Joe Cronin failed to accom-
plish the results which Tom
Yawkey craved.
If the 1888 Washington ball
club plays smarter and faster ball,
it will be acceptable to the fans,
On form, the young pitchers
should be better than the ham

squarely up to Harris, then the

alysis is the way it should be.

GRID GROUND

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-Pitts-
burgh's football Pirates today are
out of tie for first place in the
National Football League.
They lost to the Chicago Bears
last night, here, 10. Before the
defeat they were in a triple tie for
first place in the circuit with
Washington and New York. Now
the Giants and the Redskins are
on the top rung together.
A 35-yard forward pass, in the
third period, Bernie MaSterson to
Bill Karr set the stage for the only
touchdown of the game. After
Kari caught the heave, he was
downed at the Pirate 13-yard stripe.
From this point, Ray Noting
turned left end for the touchdown.
Jack Manders added the extra
point by goaling from placement.
The Bears are now in sole pos
session of first place in the West
ern Division Of the league. The
Pirates are in tie for third place
in the Eastern division.
Pittsburgh appeared to have the
edge throughout the game, but
the one lapse of the Pirate defense,
when M a SterSo n uncorked his
throw to Karr, spelled disaster for
the local team.

DUROCHER SENT
TO BROOKLYN

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 Q.N.SO.
The Brooklyn Dodgers baseball
club today announced it had trad
ed Outfielder Johnny Cooney, In
fielders Jimmy Butcher and Joe
Strip and Pitcher Roy HenShaw
for Shortstop Leo Durocher, OF
the st. Louis Cardinals.
Durocher's exit from the Cardl-
nails marks the breakup of the
famous gas house gang that
clowned and Stormed it's way
through the National League for
years.
The 32-year-old shortstop has
been in the major leagues since
1928 when he joined the New
York Yankees. The Cincinnati
Reds got him in 1880 and kept him
until 1888 when he was traded to
the Cardinals.
In his early years his hitting
was so weak that he was generally
known as the "All-American out"
but in recent years he became a
consistent $50 hitter.
The late Miller Higgins, then
manager of the Yankees, said Du-
rocher was the finest fielder he
ever saw and for many years he
was admittedly the best fielding
shortstop in the country.
Cooney is 81 but many consider
him the best outfielder in the lana
although his hitting is weak.
Butcher is an erratic infielder and
a fair hitter. Strips frequent
illnesses have made him a total
loss to the Dodgers this year
