H. o. Kimmel, better known
as Pop" around the Bureau of In

for two reasons. One is to see the
ball game. of course, and the
other is to get himself a chance
to express his opinion of his en-
ployer, j. Edgar Hoover.

MEDICAL TEST
TOO SEVERE,
ISCHARGE
By J. EARLE MOSER

Social Security Boards organ
lied employees in Baltimore have
swung into their first major cam
paign with a strong protest
against the manner in which
phvsical examinations have been
administered to the accounting
division staff in the Oriole City.
According to the Ssh Baltimore
Union. more than 18 per cent OF
the first 1900 tested-almost one
In five-have been declared unfit
after the usual inspection follow

a percentage "unheard Of the
organization has protested to the
Civil Service Commission, has
been promised an investigation
and is preparing a brief. 1t an

"These employees, who have
come here from all parts OF the

Jobs, in the expectation of reas-

have been placed in unwar'

Jobs are concerned. Many OF
them have passed previous med

THE union. upon going into
the situation, found that such
percentage is absolutely unheard

discovered that in the great

doctors in the Marine Park Hos

for declaring employees unfit are
said to be high blood pressure
readings as low as 140, albumen
traces, peculiar heart sounds, ath-

feet. Such symptoms are almost
never used to bar persons &C

HALLOWEEN

Early youth looks forward to three
occasions in the year, when public
sentiment tolerates things which
would be considered intolerable at
other times. These three occasions
are April l, July 4, and Halloween
April l is time for many jokes that
would be considered foolish at other
times, July 4 is the time of unlimited
noise, and Halloween is supposed TO
tolerate mischief. Youth becomes
supremely happy on October 81, if
tacitly permitted to keep doorbells
ringing, tip over rubbish cans, and
slam the window blinds.
The pranking youngsters find plen-
ty of defenders, who say the kids
will be young but once, and that boys
must be boys. If you object to hav-
ing your clothesline cut, some will
say you must BIT getting antiquated,
and your arteries are hardening.
1t is also argued that such periods
of license encourage many young
sters to do rowdyish and hoodlum
acts, SO that they get the idea that
laws do not have TO be obeyed. When
they tip over an ash-can and leave
the dirty stuff Uttered all over the
walk or grass, it takes a busy man
some time to remove the evidence of
this mischief.
The too smart joker who sticks the
toothpick in the electric doorbell so
it rings continuously, may think he
has expressed highly original sense
of humor. If he were one of fam
lily of tired people resting after a
long days work, he would not find
much humor in it.
The youthful idea of dressing up
in outlandish costumes, of following
out pumpkins and turning them into
grinning faces with candles inside.

THE INHERITANCE

Robbing baby's bank is good sub
ject for a cartoon or a wisecrack
But how many mothers or fathers
maliciously, and without any inten
ton of paying it back. take money
away from their children?
On the contrary, every father tries
to accumulate as much as he can SO
that when he passes on he may leave
his children better off than he was
in childhood. That is why it is
astounding that we should be rob-
bing not only baby's bank now but
his bank account later on.
Look. In 1919, because of the
World War, the debt of the Federal
government had risen TO twenty-five
billion dollars. Thirteen years later,
after a period of unprecedented pros
perity, that debt had been reduced by
only nine billion dollars.
Today, we have a thirty-seven bill /
lion dollar debt. If we could have
the same prosperity from now on
that we had through the 20's, it would
take more than So years to pay that
debt.
That's robbing our children and
our children's children with ven
geance.

SUPREMACY OF THE
PEOPLE
Ry MAY RPRNS
By MAX BERNs

Why does our Constitution give
the final power 10 the people and re-
strict the powers granted 10 our gov
ernment?
President John Adams, a signer OF
the Declaration OF Independence,
/ gives the reason:
"As the happiness Of the people
is the sole end of government" he
says, so the consent OF the people
| is the only foundation of it, in reason,
morality and the natural fitness Of
things. And, therefore, every act of
| government, every exercise of SOW
ereighty against or without the con-
sent of the people, is injustice, usur-
patton and tyranny.
1t is a maxim that in every gov
ernment there must exist somewhere
supreme sovereign, absolute and
uncomfortable power; but this power
resides always in the body of the peo-
pie; and it never was, or can be dele
gated to one man or few; the great
Creator having never given to men
right to vest others with authority
over them unlimited either in dura-
ton or degree.
When kings, governors, or
legislatures instead of exercis-
ing the powers stated by the
Constitution prostitute those
powers to the purposes of oppression,
to subvert, instead of supporting
free Constitution; to destroy, in
stead of preserving the lives, liber-
ties and properties of the people,
they are no longer to. be deemed
magistrates vested with a sacred
character but become public enemies
and ought to be resisted.
To protect US against tyranny and
to preserve our liberties, our Con-
stitution gives sovereign power only
to the people, limits the powers
granted to our government and obli-
gates our courts to uphold our Con-
stitution as "the supreme law of
The land. nd."-Copyright 1887 by Max
Berns.

Milford, Friday, October 29, 1887

We ARE RELIABLY informed that
an old established manufacturing
plant is desirous of locating in Mil
ford. The business is one that has
been handed down from father to
son over a long period of time. II
has functioned we'll and prospered.
two warning labor groups in the city
During recent months strife between
where the plant is located has made
il necessary for the management to
seek a location where local help can
be trained to do the work and where
the management will not be in the
middle between the two warning
groups. The owner is a high type
man, who pays excellent wages, and
should the plant be brought to Mil
ford would employ approximately $50
persons. He is interested in Milford
because of his personal knowledge
of the city, and his associations here.
We are told by very close friend
of this manufacturer that efforts were
made several months ago to interest
at least some members of City Coun-
Gil in the project; but that nothing
has come of the move Our informant
says that the proposition is not
stock selling scheme-there is no
stock to be sold. The owner will con-
struct a new brick plant and will
finance it himself. What is desired
is the waving of taxes on the prop
erty by City Council for a term OF
years to be agreed upon by all in
terested parties. 1t does seem that
City Council should grab at such
proposition and that they should CO.
operate to the limit to get another
live industry for Milford. Only re-
Gently City Council passed a resolu-
ton providing free light and water
for the new Eastern Shore League
baseball team which is to play in
Milford next year. With this action
OF Council we have no quarrel. At
the same time, however, if a going
concern which will provide employ
nlent for a large number of persons.
with an annual payroll running into
the thousands of dollars, can be Sc
cured through only a little effort on
the part of those directing the mu-
nicipal affairs of the city, it is the
part of wisdom to do so. Why not
a: least look into the proposition?
