Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
TWO dogs had been in full cry
after Mrs. Lightfoot the Deer, and
this on 4 hot Summer day. The
master Of those Dogs had been doing
his best to head them of before
they could catch and kill Mrs. Light
foot. Before he could accomplish
this some one else interfered to save
Mrs. Lightfoot, and he witnessed as
noble deed as ever was seen in
the Green Forest. He saw Lghtfoot
himself deliberately appear between
Mrs. Liehtfoot and the Dogs and
wait there until he was certain that
the latter saw him and would chase
him.

that. He did that deliberately, and

nothing else. His antlers are not
half grown. and he is in no condi-
ton for long, hard run. I hope he
won't make straight-away race of
1t, but will circle so that l may have
chance TO head of those Dogs, +"
said the owner of the latter as he
listened to the chase and tried to
figure out where Lightfoot would 60
if he should circle.
Meanwhile Mrs. Lightfoot had dis
appeared and he gave no more thought
to her The danger to her was over.
1t was Lightfoot for whom he was
concerned now. At first Lightfoot
ran straight away, but presently the
baying Of the Dogs indicated that they
were circling, and. of course, this
meant that Lightfoot was circling
Just as soon as the man had made
sure which way they were circling
he once more started running across
country toward a certain point he
felt certain Lightfoot would pass. II
he could reach that point before the
Dogs did he could stop them there.
His course led him back toward
the place where the pursuit OF Mrs
Iightfoot had started. He plunged
into the thicket next to the one
from which the Dogs had driven Mrs.
Lightfoot in the beginning To his
surprise, she suddenly bounded up
In front Of him and away. 1t was
clear that while he had waited to
make sure which way Lightfoot would
run she had circled about and reached
this thicket ahead Of him. Why had
she returned so soon to so very near
where she had been found by those
Dogs? What had brought her back
there? The man wondered Then,
happening to look down where Mrs
Lightfoot had made her first startled
leap, he saw the answer, and it made
him catch his breath.
Lying there motionless, their little
necks stretched out along the ground,
were two fawns, babies not more than
day old, if they were that. In
fact, he doubted If they were more
than a few hours old.
ma! exclaimed Cne man. so tnlS
is what brought that doe back here!
I wonder IL that buck knows of these
babies. doubt it. Perhaps he
guessed. but I doubt If he know it
when he stepped In to lead off those
Dogs. He probably did it for her
sake. knowing that at this time Of
year she Is in no condition for run
ming"
He wanted to stop to admire and
pet those pretty little fawns, but there
was no time for that II he was to
save their father from those Dogs.
So he kept on. After . while the
baying Of the Dogs sounded louder.
It continued to sound louder. 1t was
coming straight toward him. He knew
that Lightfoot had passed and that
he was in time. Presently the two
Dogs came in sight, in full cry as
they followed Lightfoot's fresh scent.
Not until they were close upon him
did they hear or see their master.
Then such a change came over them.
They knew they had been doing
wrong. They hung their heads and
put their tails between their legs
and fairly dragged themselves along
the ground to his feet, while he
scolded them. Then, keeping close
to his heels. they followed him home

HOW WOULD CHARLOTTE LIKE THIS?

John l.. Lewis and his Committee for Industrial
Organization have announced their determination
to unionize municipal, county and state employees
throughout the country. The national framework
of the union of such employees has been set up and
plans for issuing charters to local units have been
worked out.
The nationwide drive to enroll state, county and
city employees has been launched or is about to
start.
very important group of municipal employees
important in functions and in size of personnel
are the police and fire department employees OF
course the Lewis program calls for organizing all
fremen and policemen in CIO unions
That means not only that strike of fremen and
policemen would be always behind the door IN
case these employees for any reason at all had any
disagreement with their employers, but that they
would be subject to be called out on strike by
Lewis or his lieutenants any time the latter felt
they needed police strike or fremens strike to
aid in bringing to terms the employers Of textile,
steel or automobile workers or employers of any
other unionized group.
Wherefore each city and town having union
lied police force or a unonized fire department, or
both, would face constantly the possibility OF a
strike to aid the Lewis organization in its warfare
upon the management of the textile or any other
industry ia
Can you imagine the plight of city with all its
policemen or all its iremen, or both, on strike,
leaving all residents without police or fire protec-
ton? Can you imagine police or fire department
personnel forming picket lines to prevent volunteer
citizens from bringing devastating fire under con-
troll or to prevent such citizens from undertaking
to catch murderers, bandits bank robbers or other
criminals or to protect life and property by doing
volunteer patrol duty at night? .,L
Fantastic idea, you say? Not at all. ,l ~
Why should it be regarded as impossible or un-
likely that such situations should develop with all
fremen and policemen subject to orders from Lewis
or his lieutenants? yra a'.o. -rs..2" E. g.
If the police and fire fighters belong to CIo
union why should they not be subject to all the
rules and orders and calls of the C1o leaders just
the same as textile workers, steel workers, coal
miners or automobile factory employees.
Would the citizens of Charlotte be willing to
have the personnel of their police and fire depart
ments ,ubiect to orders from John L. Lewis or his
aides and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Observer.

SOMETHING WRONG
SOMEWHERE

A recent press dispatch is au-
thority for the statement that
Congressman Maverick of Texas,
has supplied the CIO with ten
thousand franked envelopes with
which to mail out copies of a
speech Of his which pleases the
CIO.
There, Mr.. Taxpayer, is one in
stance of dishonest use of your
tax money. 1t may not be un-
lawful to donate from tax funds
the equivalent of the postage to
carry ten thousand envelopes,
but it certainly is dishonest; and
it would be unlawful if congress
were not more interested in
building up patronage than in
protecting public funds.

ary maverick" is an unbrand-

WAsHINGToN-This is the best
" guess available right now,
and please remember it's only a
guess:
Solicitor General Stanley F.
Reed will be appointed to the
Supreme Court TO succeed Justice
Van Devanter, retired.
Next best guess, perhaps. is
Judge Sam G.. Bratton of Albu-
oueroue. N. NJ, sitting in the
Tenth Circuit Court Of Appeals,
including parts of eight western
states. At any rate, the White
House is hearing plenty from
Bratton's hackers.
One of the worst crimes the
New Deal ever committed against
the country and itself was the
thing it did to the solicitor-gen-
erals office after Felix Frankfurter
had refused the post in 1888. But
Reed took that Office more than
two years ago and has carried the
brunt Of defending New Deal laws
before the Supreme Court, lately
with conspicuous success. He ar
gued the Wagner Act. as well as
the AAA case and many others:
Reed for several years was
counsel for the old Hoover farm
board and early in 1888 became
general counsel for RFC under
Hoover. He served Roosevelt ably
as a legal expert in the banking
emergency. He was slated for a
federal judgeship in Kentucky
when Roosevelt decided he should
be solicitor-general. His argu-
mentS have indicated definite lib
eralism along with a desire TO fit
New Deal laws into reasonable
constitutional limitations. He is
So years old.
Bratton was a liberal Demo-
cratic senator from New Mexico
until Roosevelt made him fed

could be sure of little opposition
