PATRIOTS BELONG ON DEAD.cENTER

Much Is heard and read in these days about the
political and social trends in America and the re-
currence of phrases defnitive of these trends is
suggestive and impressive. ..- ao- .,
We have in country groups who called
left-wingistS and groups who are called right
wingists.
Then there others named as being slightly
ieft-of-cener and others designated as being slight
ly rght-of-center.
The extreme leftists are, of course, the radicals
the anarchists, the communists the dynamiters and
all of their dastardly tribe.
The extreme rightsts the Bourbons and To-
res and old social and economic barons and bucca-
nsers who think that social position and material
wealth should constitute the basis Of authority in
this country. .i
These slightly off center either to the left or to
the right are the liberaconservative and the con-
servative -berals-those who have a little of the
eolorng of reactonarism the one hand and
those who are tnctured with slight infection of
progressivism the other.
We submit that America needs none of these to
dominantly frame it's policies and to guide its fu-
ture. .ossv,su "a
America needs men and women who are on dead
center who believe in equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none," who would pattern gov
eminent that would kowtow to no particular pres
sure group but which, instead, would cater to the
greatest good for the greatest number. ..
Patriots, those, the few who seem to remain!
But few .or many, they are Americans who con-
tinue to carry the simple torch of democracy and
who will toss, when they die, into other hands to
carry on and on in the face of and despite all the
selfish clans and class-mnded groups who seem to
think that government is good unless it is good
to them alone Charlotte Observer

A BREAKING POINT

Regardless of the fact that most public officials
don't think so, there is breaking point, insofar as
the little industries are concerned The editor OF
the Yorkville Enquirer writes 'if things keep on
going as they have been going the past three or
four years, great focks of small industries scat
tered all over the country, and especially in the
southern states, are going to be forcer to shut up
shop, and liquidate because of the constantly IN
creasing taxes and the tendency OF the government
to put more and more restrictions and regulatory
features on these small industries" The Enquirer
is correct. The small industry operates on close
margin, and il won't take the 'straw that broke
the camel's back" to close some Of them.
The forgotten" man has had his day. How
about turning the spotlight on the small business
man who has been striving through these lean years
to "make go' of his business, and give him a
little help. At least there is no reason to place
obstacles in his way!-Newberry Is, c. observer.

CRIME GOES WITH IDLENESS

You may talk about your leisure time all you
want but then it is when most Of the devilment Is
done.
Judge Warliek told the grand jury here Monday
that 81 per cent of the crime in this county is COM
mitted between the hours of one o'clock Saturday
afternoon and six o'clock Monday morning. Idle
ness and leisure time contribute to evil, and much
of the community welfare and playground work
does not reach those who need it most.
As we have often said before one of the biggest
troubles with this country now is that too many
people are trying to get by with as little work as
possible. Everybody is talking about the more
abundant life" and what can be had from it. Well,
it leads to life of lazness and shtlessness, if the
signs of the times mean anything. But, still they
are trying to lower the hours of work everywhere.
An honest days work, or a week, for that mat
ter has never hurt any one, but an idle brain and
unoccupied hands have brought grief to many

beginning.
CECOND, there's provision fol
~ direct appeal Of cases involy-
ing constitutionality Of federal
laws from district courts to the
Supreme Court. This procedure
slIipS the Circuit Courts of APP
peal. Lawyers say it usually takes
about a year to get case through
the appeals courts. The Supreme
Court now has discretionary power
to skip the appeals courts.
Third, when injunctions are
sought to bar enforcement Of a
federal law, suit must be brought
before a court of three federal
Judges, one of whom must be a
circuit judge. This would mean
a severe crimp in the old game OF
tying up federal laws by seeking
injunctions in districts where
Judge IS VIGOROUSLY or obviously
pISJOuASSN'
Fourth, appeals by private liti-
giants from lower courts would
have to be fled in 80 days and
appeals to the Supreme Court
within 60 days. This speeds up

LONG. TERM PLANNING FOR PUBLIC
HEALTH
(By BRUCE CATTON)

For q great many generations, peopie
regarded their physical ailments as some
thing set apart for medical men alone 10
cure. There was no general moral COM
pulsion to take an interest in disease be-
yond submitting it to a man who knew now
to deal with it. -....-. -,
Fortunately, through the efforts OF lead
ers in the medical profession itself, new
attitude has come into existence; an attl-
tude based on the responsibility of the in
dividual to know exactly what causes dis
ease, what he can do to avoid getting it, or
once having it, how best to cooperate with
the doctor in getting rid of it, ...... .
The question of public health, therefore,
is becoming as much a matter Of public
policy as wages, working hours, or living
costs. But it is mistake to think that
adopting the attitude settles the matter
and that we are thus automatically ush-
cred into an era of freedom from bodily
ills. . ....... ...,
Just released, the report of the Hospital
Survey for New York indicates another
big step necessary to the final success OF
the new puDIlc heaTtn poncy. o., .r.t.,.,
The public already has an immense in
vestment in hospitals and allied institu-
tons, the report points out. And while
this investment has been made with the
best of intentions, it has been made hap
hazardly. The result is that in many cases
the benefits are not properly distributed,
facilities of many hospitals are never fully
used, and new and more efficient methods
of fighting disease are not placed univer-
sally within reach of the people.
In the light of expanding knowledge in
medical science, the hospital is an indis-
pensable public utility because of the wide
variety of resources for diagnosis and
treatment that it offers. ~.
For that treason, the report emphasizes
that the organized care of the sick gen.
Grafton hence will best be provided for by
the orderly growth and COORDINATION Of
present facilities.
Now the great majority of institutions
for the care of the sick are provided and
maintainedtby taxes or voluntary contribu-
tions of the local population. This, then,
places the duty of forwarding great hu-
manitarian work directly upon those indi-
viduals who make up each community.
Untold sums of money and the genius
of qualified experts have been turned to
the coordination of our endeavors in
many other fields, commercial, cultural,
and philanthropic.
1t seems that it would be good economy,
as well as good sense, that the public
helath, through our facilities for guarding
it, should have the same advantages.

WAsHINGToN-The pr0eedaral
. " court bill reported out by the
Senate Judiciary Committee is
such a puny remnant of the
original court bill that no one pays
L any heed.
But although it represents q bao
defeat for Roosevelt, year ago 1t
would have been considered hot
stuff. At any rate it appears to
represent the committees unani-
NOUS belief that there has been
sand in the wheels of justice.
THERE are four important
- points:
The first permits the attorney
general to intervene in suits in
volving constitutionality of federal
laws. This provision would pre-
vent framed-up "test cases" in
which supposed but not neces-
Sarily real adversarieS would fight
case of constitutionality through
the courts, with the possibility
that the side defending constitu-
tionality would build up a poor
record or a weak case upon which
the Supreme Court would have to
act.
Theoretically the uprem e
Court decides cases between the
government and persons (the
court has held corporations to be
persons.
But in the Rurco case in Balti-
more, involving the holding COM
pany act, trustees of a defunct
utility company questioned con-
stitutionality of the holding COM
pany act-with John w. Davis APP
pearing for an intervening Sc
