CareleSSneSs-Man'S Enemy

The terrible explosion at New London, Texas
March 18th, which resulted In death to more than
many, brings to mind mans carelessness with COM
forts provided by nature Natural gas, which provid
ed friendly heat for the people Of Texas, in tn,
twinkng Of eye uneashed its terrible uncontrol-
ed power and plunged the entire community into
terror and sorrow and the Texas BLACK gold" turn
ed into BLACK death" Man has gone far in the use
plish the control of winds and the for
continuous comfort but to what avail If carelessness
shall destroy his children?
American labor has found a new way to strike,
it Is the famous sit down method, much in
vogue Although un-American, alien importation
and violation of property rights under our Constl
tuition, has made its way in the United States as
labors most powerful weapon. It's dangers unrealiz-
ed il also uncontrolled may become the means OF
a destructive power to organized labor, which has
adopted the method for the of lettering the
living conditions Of its members.
An order for the arrest of 5000 st-downers who
have occupied eight Chrysler Corporation automobile
plants for sometime has not been carried out Sheriff
Thomas c. Wilcox at Detroit, said he would make no
attempt to evct the chair" strikers without addi
tonal deputies the aid Of the National Guard 1t
is simply matter Of man power, which when 1t be-
comes available, can easily become force OF des-
tructon, if uncontrolled resistance ensues.
Chief Justice Hughes in a letter recently present
ed to the senate judiciary committee stated that an
increase in the number of Supreme Court justices
would not promote efficiency of the court. And JUS
tice McReynolds stated that the Supreme Court is
like the balance wheel of watch. Take it out and
the works will not function. The right of life, liberty
and property been preserved under the Consti-
tuition and through the Supreme Court and although
severely threatened we believe the American way
will prevail Let the people decide through constitu-
tional amendment and thus will the control of gov
eminent remain vested in the people and for the
people Liberties lost only when the people are
willing to give them up when through careessness
fhoHro foka
ernmental departments provide checks and balances
for the protection of the peope-stiflng any one OF
them in the proper function of government may re-
suit in runation.
An old adaee SAYS that the least governed people
are the happes and yet federal and state egis-
lative bodies grinding out new laws every day.
Some few of them may be a benefit to the people,
while many Of them passed and forgotten. Have
YOU ever tried find out how many laws remain on
the statute books dead and unenforced? This would
make an interesting investigation for our representa-
tives and senator's and possibly might be curb to
carelessness in the adoption Of new bills which spring
uncontrolled from the legislative hoppers
Osakis our sister city to the west, will erect a
new sewage disposal plant the bonds for which were
sold Monday evening. Let hope that their exper-
in this matter will not result as dreful as dd
ours. It is generally known fact that since compile
ton of the local plant has not operated correctly
and it will be necessary to do considerable work be-
fore it can function properly. Here again the people
will to pay for carelessness OF construction or
supervsion-it makes little difference The result re
mains the same. Careessness Is mans greatest
enemy.
