SMIMMIN, HOLE SCENES

The men look back about now to
the days of their youth, when they
used to hike OFF with the neighbor-
hood kids to some little lake or river
for the daily dip in the "old swimmin'
hole. We might forbid the excur-
sion, but Junior, alas, would not al
ways obey. When he came home
with mop of wet hair, this evidence
was conclusive. and session in the
woodshed was apt to follow.
While some mournful tragedies
occurred at the old swimming hole,
it was mostly place of high delight,
where youth splashed and shouted
until the country echoed with merri-
ment. Also it promoted the grand
ideal of cleanliness. The kid who
yelled and screeched in Saturday
night bath would gladly undergo
in the swimming hole three
times a day.
Few forms of athletics do more 10
produce a rugged body than swim
ming. Every boy and girl needs
chance at it.

WORDS FRON LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln once said: Il
like to see a man proud of the place
in which he lives. Yet he may be
able to find plenty of faults in his
home town. There will be defects
everywhere, so long as human ma
ture is so imperfect.
There are good folks in all places.
people who do their best to be honest
and kind and render service to the
world. A place where there is life
enough so anyone can make living
there, must have many things to be
proud of. 1t has been built up by
the industry and thought of the peo-
pie who went before. and one should
honor their labors. Schools and
churches and organizations create a
background of intelligence and edu-
cation, which most people share, and
one should be proud of the common
sense and judgment which is to be
found in any good American town.
Milford chronicle., 1937-06-25

stitution is no longer the fundamen-
tak law of the people, but that the
changing rule of Congress, with Its
passions and its greeds, its preju-
dices and its creeds, has become the
supreme law of the land: that while
subservient judiciary may survive,
constitutional limitations are ce-
stroyed; and that the Congress and
the President may now invade the
powers of the states, may now I'M
pinge on the freedom of individual
initiative, effort and enterprise and
may now violate the basal principles
of American indiyidualism and or
equality before the law by modifica-
tion or denial of the fundamentals
of liberty, of property, Of worship
and of justice as once defined by the
people in their Constitution.
1t is hoped and here urged that
the President in denial of the peo-
ple's prerogative and by assump-
tions, contrary to fact. may not pre-
vail on the Congress to impair the
independence of the judiciary and
thus weaken If not destroy, repre-
democracy under the Con-
stitution, and this to the end that
the people may continue to make
the Constitution which defines the
and determines the lin
Itation under which they must live.

THE FOURTH BRANCH
OF GOVERNMENT

In a recent address, Bernard f.
Wheadock, managing director of the
Edison Electric Institute, discussed
the Fourth Branch of Government" ="
Under the constitution we have
three branches of government, each
with delegated duties and powers
the Executive, the Legislature and
the Judicial. The fourth branch has
no name-but it might aptly be term
ed the bureaucratic branch. 1t con-
sists of a long list of quasi-judicial
bureaus and commissions which have
not only been empowered to admin
lister properly passed laws, but in
many instances exert a law-making
function of their own.
The American Bar Association
states that there are about 1900 sep
arate instances of transfer to enact
laws from Congress to Administra-
tive agencies, and that there are 73
Federal tribunals, exercising judicial
power in 267 classes of cases, This
fourth branch of government exerts
it's authority over great industries
and affects the lives and livelihood
of millions of citizens-yet it is hid
den, and many citizens have never
heard og it.
The growth of this power-seizing
is one of the most dan
gerous developments of the times.
In the interest of democracy, of lib
erty, of true constitutional govern
ment, the fourth branch of govern
ment must be brideled and con-
trolled.

OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME

The boys and girls who have fin
ished their school and college
courses and are looking for jobs,
should look first right around home.
Some of them think the way to sue
ceed is to go off to some far distant
state, and they dream that the far
ther they get from home, the better
are their chances of success. They
almost always find if they get to
those distant places, that the oppor-
tunities were all snapped up before
they get there.
Every good neighborhood, like Mil
ford and the nearby territory, has
opportunities for young people every
year. People are always dropping
out of their jobs, and there are al
ways chances for bright youngsters
just out of school,. Young people
should investigate these home op-
portunities thoroughly before look
ing elsewhere.
Milford chronicle., 1937-06-25
YOUTH AND THE WORLD

In many addresses at the college
and school graduations, faith was
expressed in the young people of to-
day. Teachers and orators came to
the defense of youth, who are so
often accused of being hard boiled.
Young people usually come out Of
schools and colleges with a deter
mination to render useful service,
but in few years many of them lose
these aims, and decide to slip through
life as easily as possible. The rust
of this selfish world has corroded
the fine steel of their early pur-
pose. Let them remember those
words of the philosopher Emerson:
$50 nigh is grandeur to our dust,
So near is God to man,
When duty whispers low, thou must,
The youth replies, 1 can"
Milford chronicle., 1937-06-25
THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT

A big part of the daily purchases
of the people at retail stores con-
sists of credit transactions. The
costs of living are affected by the
operations of the systems for ex-
tending credit. If this system works
badly in any respect, it increases
the cost of living.
The National Retail Credit Asso-
citation recently in session at Spo-
kane, Wash, discussed phases of
the credit system. The delegates
were warned of the danger that the
merchants profits will be lost as the
result of overdue accounts. II was
said that this will call for the short
ening of terms for which credit is
extended. Also it was predicted that
the custom of adding carrying
charges to all overdue 80 day ac-
counts will become as universal as
the custom by which banks charge
interest for the money they loan.
Overdue accounts and slow pay
customers are the plague of the busi-
ness world. 1t costs more to do bust |
ness because of the habits of tardy |
debtors. If a firms accounts are
supposed to be paid in 80 days, and |
if half of it's customers take 60 or
80 days or year to pay those ac-
counts, the store may be obliged
to borrow money and pay interest 10
cover such credits, thus adding to its
expenses.
When that condition exists in
countless stores throughout the
country, the effect must be to slow
up the purchase of goods and thus
cause unemployment.
The idea expressed at this credit
convention, that customers of stores
should pay charge for overdue ac-
counts, seems essentially just. 1t
might be difficult idea for any one
store to enforce. But if all leading
merchants in city would agree to
follow such a plan, it would help
business move smoothly and avoid
losses and failures.

s. THE RIGHT TO WORK

The Declaration of American Inde-
pendence which the country is about
to create, declared that men have
certain inalienable rights, among
which are life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness. Many of our citi-
zens say that life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness don't do them
much good, if they can't find any
work. They say the right to an op-
portunity to earn living is of equal
importance with the three rights
named above.
In the early days of the republic,
people secured that right to work
without difficulty. A man could al
most always get a job on some farm
or in some shop or store. Or if he
couldn't, he could obtain a tract of
land for trifiing sum, and cultivate
il and sell his products.
In our times life has grown COM
plicated, and millions have not been
able to find this work. 1t is almost
impossible for the government to
provide it for any length of time,
without competing with private in
dustry and throwing other workers
out of a job.
A system of government work re-
lief may do good for a time. But it
means heavy burdens on taxpayers,
and will eventually encourage the |
expenditure of money for things not |
really needed.
The fact must be faced that the
people do demand work, they feel
they have a right to a chance to
labor, and will not be satisfied un-
til they get it. Work is one of the
essentials of life, and people often
determine if they seek it and fail |
to find it. If our present form of
government and industry is to con-
tinue, means must be found to pro-
vide work for those who want to
work ~Perhaps~ if the government
offered more encouragement to the
industries to find employment for the
idle, they could handle it better than
the government can.
Milford chronicle., 1937-06-25

For many of these youths the find.
ing of job is tough form of in
itiation to the society of life. The
youngster often feels as If he was
made to ride very rowdy sort OF
l goat. He gets illusions shaken out
OF him, and finds himself butted into
uncomfortable positions.
One thing of which employers
complain, is that many young peo-
pie seem to lack ambition. If the
youth can't show a record of earnest
work, bosses are afraid of him. An
other complaint is that many young
people seem to think the prestige of
their education will float them over
all difficulties. The employer wants
the beginner to realize that he is
entering field in which he usually
knows little, and he must be right
UP on his toes to learn and work
hard.
Another thing that bothers the EN-
ployer is lack of accuracy in such
things as spelling and use OF Eng
lish. The college graduate who can't
write good appearing business let
ter creates an unfavorable impress
sion.
To ride the goat of industry, show
you do not mind it if that rough crit
ter does throw you into the dirt, and !
rub your nose on the pavement. Just
show you have learned from that
experience, how not to get thrown
next time.

RIDING INDUSTRIES GOAT

For months, getting job has been
OF high schools and colleges. In
dreams of the prospective graduates
thigh schools and colleges. In
vision of the night they see them
selves turned down in long series
of cold offices, that are not inter-
ested in scholastic diplomas. When
they wake up next morning and see
the sun shining once more, they feel
more courage thout the search, and
decide that the world is not quite
so heartless as they had imagined.
Milford chronicle., 1937-06-25

THE NEwSBOY WHO cries out
his papers, will sell more than the
one who holds them until someone
asks him for one. So the concern
that cries out its goods by advertis-
ing will sell more than the silent
store.

Once A Ku Klux-AlWays A Kluxer
BY William Pickens for A. N. p.

Colored hserlans do lots of wishful thinking. They find
themselves IN hot wa err and so often on the mons OF dllema,
that they like to imagine things are going to be q. Kin spite
of all natural laws. Some are pretending 10 hope that Hugo
Black is going TO change his fundamental character after near
ly half a century that is hey expect Judge Black to do some
thing no other man has ever done. Hugo Black joined the ku
Klux Khan waen he was q matle Re man, 36 years old, 10 years
out of college, and often he had held various public offices,
that is. he knew what it was all about and Joined knowingly
and deliberately. l. was his character. He may alter his tae~
ties on occasion, bun he eannot change hischaracter now, even
if he should vote to give HE Scottsboro boys a break, when
their case eomes before the Supreme Court, It will be only a
raetican gesture, to justify the greater devntry of voting later
against Negro suffrage and equal citizenship rights and OF
keeping him chained by inferior EDUCATION and segregation.
But why take my word for i2 Why not take Blacks own
words? Here's what Black himself said on Feb. 10, 1880, when
he was arguing in the Senate against the possibility that some
other man could change his character.
- do not mean that, as an invariable rule, a man is 50
bent or has sud- a trend that he cannot alter his meth
cd of thought, but | do mean to say that as a general rule a
man follows in the future the course he has followed IN past
Show me the kind of steps a man made in the sand five years
ago. and | will show you the kind Of Steps he isl likely to make
in the same sand five years hence. Show me THE course Le was
pursuing then, and, unless there has been a eataclysm' that
has absolutely changed his character, | will show you a course
he is going TO follow in me future. 1t is merely according 10
she law Of nature. 1t is written on the human heart. IL Is III
scr;bed ON the tablets of the external government-the gov
eminent of nature -
So Senator Black agreed with us in 1880 that a man Will
not change fundamentally. Senator Black o l9oo j" ouue'
Black of 1887 are the same person.

DAYTON (. Hickman IL the power oil
the manipulators of public opinion
and their responsiveness, it still
seems unlikely that we American
people face the likelihood of immed-
late, formal war The fact that we
discuss the possibility of wal in
such dispassionate tones is prima
facie evidence of the absence of any
war hysteria.
But there is even greater reason
to hope for peace. Popular support
of any major wal is essential. Such
support can be secured only when
the public is persuaded that its ma
terial well-being is about to be de-
stroyed, its strategic interests
threatened, or its sentimental val
ues annihilated.
All Usually Needed
Any one of these may create pop
ular hostility. Usually all three
have been required to provoke the
contagion which leads to war.
The Spanish situation in the
American mind is little more than
further evidence of the ~characteris-
tic quarrelsomeness of European
states.
The Sino-Japanese controversy is
more significant. Will it nurture
a new crop of war hysteria?
We have shown an amazing lack
of concern about the refusal of the
government to protect American
property rights in China. Millions
of American dollars are invested
there. But while these investments
may be lost, they do not threaten
the material well-being of the gen
eral public.
The Omaha guide., 1937-10-23
Limit to Propaganda

Neither is / likely that even the
most adept 'ropagandist could per-
suade Us thai this is true. After
all, there n limits t. the efficacy
OF propaganda.
Even more difficult is it to
yisage the conviction that any out
come of the Chinese difficulty will
rebound to the detriment of our
strategic interests in the Pacific.
Are oul sentimental loyalities
threatened?
Japanese bombings of civilians
have upset us-but there is some
uncertainty whether the killing of
non-combatants is fundamentally
worse than the killing of anyone
else. True, Japan has violated its
treaty obligations; but the convic-
ton that treaties are not "mere
scraps of paper" has not been dis
sipated by recen. world history. .
Attachments Not Strong
We have no specific sentimental
attachment to China; we find it diff
ficult to see her nominal republic
as an examplar of democracy fight
ing ~autocracy.
At most, we sympathize with
ChinI because of our disposition to
favor the underdog. But, whatever
uncertainty our conscience may
cause US, we defend our lethargy
by persuading ourselves that while
China may be defeated she will not
be conquered.
Upon such ground it would be
difficult to compose a new song of
hate.

An Echo
From Ny Den
By S. E. Gilbert

As l sit here in my den, with pen
in hand meditating as it were; l
turn my mind to one very import
ant national bill, referred to as the
Wage and Hour Bill. Why the
fight?
President Roosevelt recently an.
nounced his intention to call an ex-
ira session of Congress at which
time this all important bill will be
listed among the must bills.
Negroes throughout the country
should be 100 per cent behind the
passage of this bill for the enact
ment of this bill mean that mil
lions of Negroes in the South who
r now working from sunup to
sun down for So and Sc a week
would be receiving a minimum of
$1,000 for a 40 hour week. Little
enough to be sure, but far better
than they are now getting.
Behind the opposition to the
wages and hour bill stands the
shadow of exploited southern Ne
gro labor.
The backbone of the opposition
is the South. The fight, whatever
its outcome is in essence a new
struggle between the North and
the South, and as on a previous
occasion known to every school
the Negro is the Casus bellum.
The South is becoming rapidly
industralized as factory after fac
tory moves from northern localities
to the South.
The reason for this shift Is not
due to the markets afforded by
the land of Dixie, but because that
section is a hot bed for starvation
wages, political terrorism, abroga-
ton of basic civil rights, void of
all facilities that make for advanc-
ed civilization in every other part
of this country.
These backward conditions in the
South are directable to the long
historic policy of Ngro SUPPRESSION

MoBs AND MEN from te New YOrk world Telegram

Recently near Fort Walton, Fla, a group of armed and
hooded men stopped a sheriff, seized his 30 year old Negro
prisoner on The eve of his trial md riddled him with buck
shot. 1t was Florida's 3rd, and the South's SIN lynching This
year. From Villa Riea, Ca, comes another kind of story.
Three men-one white and two blafk-were in a railroad
tank thirty feet deep, painting the wallis with tar. Suddenly
there was a crackle of flame which spread rapidly A narrow
one man ladder led to the top of the tank and safety. T. L.
Hill, white foreman for the Southern railroad, stood back and
ordered his Negro assistants up the ladder. They got out
without injury. Foreman Hill was overcome by fumes and
burned to death.
There is a vast difference between men in mobs and as
individuals As mobs they are emotional, brutal, cowardly
as individuals they act like I. L. Hill, hero.
That is why our country must have anti lynching and 9th
er laws to punish mob anarchy. If ever this democracy is des
troyed it will be by mobs.
