In every period of human his
tory there have been a few men
who dared in the name of reason
to take issue with the dictatorS

new under the sun to find any
considerable number of ordinarily

united politically are at least
united in their refusal to be hood

The Open Forum
Letter to the Editor"

The news item "CurritucK
Won't Vote for ABC Store" which
appeared in the April Is issue OF
The Daily Independent, is proof
to anyone that the faction op-
posing E. r. Johnson still be-
lieves themselves the rulers of the
voters of Currituck county.
What right has Will Flora to
assume that he has the right to
speak for the voters in general?
What power except self-imposed
has he been given by the people
of this county? Does he believe,
even after the voters have clipped
not only his wings but the wings
of the faction for whom he now
speaks, that we can be forced to
vote the way he wants us to and
the way his faction directs?
Will Flora may nr may not like
ABC stores, but if he favorS this
type of revenue going into the
treasures of adjoining. counties,
his loyalty to this county can be
and is questioned.
Statements such as the one in
question is just one of the many
examples of the misuse of author
ity attempted on the people here
in Currituck county by these self
styled big shots. Another one of
the many is the order by some,
that the employees, to hold their
jobs, must not deal with certain
merchants who favor or were ap-
pointed to the board of education.

lean tactics certainly can not be

"Owen told him: I don't want
TO be a lawyer because lawyers
are not honest Dr.. KershaW
said: You can be a lawyer and
be an honest man too. You can

Honest Lawyer
So Owen Josephus became
lawyer, one of the best paid in
Philadelphia, although his clients
testify to his fairness regarding
fees. Congressman j. William
Otter of Amber, Pa, tells how
he brought in Roberts as associ-
ate counsel to help him on a
church case. The congregation
feared Roberts would charge them
a fabulous fee and asked what it
would be.
would $500 be too much2"
Roberts asked.
They we're surprised and pleas
ed and retained him. In the end
he returned THE money because
he had not been able to complete
the work. However, he had done
most of it.
Many Sided
The chief influence in Roberts
life which makes him Swing Man
today is his experience as law
yer. which taught him to be an
expert at justifying the position
of his client. Roberts had
tremendous law practice. He was
vigorous and extremely able. He
won cases. He did it chiefly by
his ability to Justify his client,
and to do it so convincingly that
he convinced others.
In doing so he usually convinc-
ed others.
In doing so he usually convinc-
ed himself.
Therefore Roberts came to the
Supreme Court with the ability
to justify whichever side of a case
it was easiest for him to take.
This does not mean that he was
looking for the easiest side. But
it does mean that he is more i'm
preSsionable, more easily swayed.
Slow-Swinger
Roberts has known the Gov
ernment'S point of view as prose-
cutor in the Teaport Dome oil
cases. For a much longer period
he has known the big business
point of view, as a highly success
full corporation lawyer.
Most of the time he sides with
the latter. but on occasion he
recognizes that all is not perfect
in the present economic cystem.
Once while talking with Arthur
| w. Rossiter. one of his neighbors
at PhoeniXville, Pa. who criticiz-
ed in vigorous language the labor
policies of a big Philadelphia
manufacturer, Roberts observed:
There's no question that we
must find some way more equit-
ably to distribute the national in
! come"
But on the Supreme Court,
oberts has adopted a policy Of
running to the fire only after he
hears the alarm. He does not be-
lieve in fire prevention. And in
recent years, he had had to hear
the alarms ringing in his ears for
many months before finally re-
versing himself.
The swing came so late that
he did not win the sympathy of
the liberals whom he joined, but
only riled the reactionarieS whom
he deserted.
Owen JosephuS Roberts is the
Swing Man Of the Supreme Court,
but he is a slow SWinger.

the Presidents message to Con-

Second is Justice owen

sensitive ears and a sensitive dis
position, became alarmed at the
din and took lessons from the
acrobatic performances Of the
Chief Justice.

most with a sigh of relief, he cast

But now, as ne realizes the dl-
rection in which they are drag
ging the country, and as he listens

brought down upon their own
head, Roberts has swung back in
to another period of uncertainty

HOW MANY ARE A FEW?

In somewhat light vein the Christian
Science Monitor once asked and discussed
the question, How Many Are Few?" No
conclusion was reached, as there appeared
to be no definite authority which might be
cited to establish the answer.
Later correspondent in Newark call
ed attention to the fact that small Scotch
boy had found the answer long ago, ac-
cording to a story which may be briefly
related thus:
The boy was entitled to "few APP
Pies as prize for memorizing more
verses of scripture than any other member
of his Sunday school Glass, whereupon the
teacher gave him three apples. The boy
demurred, asserting that he. should have
eight apples. Pressed for his authority
the lad triumphantiy produced it from no
less a source than the Holy Writ, quoting
Peter, third chapter, XF2oth4 verse, which
says:
Few, that is eight souls were saved
by water"
His contention being incontrovertibe,
the boy got his eight apples. And, there
fore, if anyone should ask, "a few" means

WOULD BRING GREAT CHANGES

When a mechanical cotton picker is
invented thousands of workers will be
displaced and the agricultural economy of
the cotton-growing States may be radically
disturbed -
This is no reason to ban the cotton
picker because when it comes it will be a
boon to mankind making the cost of cot
ton-picking lower and probably improve
the condition of workers. although this re-
suit will be long-run development.
While there are several cotton-pick-
ing machines under trial today the opinion
of economic experts is that they do not
meet the problem successfully. In fact, it
is said that Manipulating is cheaper when
one takes into consideration the cotton that
the machine fails to get, the loss of seed
and the damage to the lint itself.
A successful cotton-picker would
probably revolutionize the cotton-growing
regions to an extent comparable to the in
PRODUCTION and use of machinery in connec-
ton with wheat and other field crops.
That it will come in the future seems GER
tain and, in the meantime, cotton-growing
States might as well begin to plan for the
day ahead.
