ONCE UPON JUNE 1

There is some question as to wheth-
er any such person as Mother Goose
ever lived. Long after Thomas Fleet,
Boston printer, published Mother
Goose's Melodies for Children" in
1919, it was said that he derived the
name and the idea from his mother
in-law, Mrs Goose, who chanted the
ditties to Fleets small son. This
story isn't substantiated and it is GER
tain that Mrs. Goose wasn't the au-
thor of most of the rhymes common
ly associated with her name. Some
are so old that no one knows when
they started, but at least one can be
definitely credited to Miss Sarah
Catherine Martin, under whose name
the first edition of 1.-The Comic Ad-
ventures of Old Mother Hubbard and
Her Dog" appeared 1873 years ago to-
day.
Mother Hubbard was the house
keeper to John Bastard, M. P. At
his home Miss Martin was a guest
in 1904 when she wrote the book,
which is dedicated to Mr.. Bastard.
Her original manuscript survives, il
Illustrated with her own sketches, in
The Bodleian Library, England. She
was SO when the book was published;
it had become childrens' classic be-
fore she died at Sc.

far as elected and appointed judges
are concerned.
Every election year there is an out
cry against the method of naming
North Cardinals judges, and if the
Hoey-named bench Sitters-or even
half of them-go down in defeat June
4, there is going to be a very deter
mined effort to abolish primaries for
judges, at least. What will be offered
as a substitute remains to be seen,
but the Organization" is certain to
try to do something about it if it's
selected and appointed judges are I'M
seated by the people.
Once a judge gets on the bench it
is usually not too difficult to stay
there, but this year may prove an ex-
ception.
By way of information, here's how
the present judges were first put
where they are now:
Supreme Court-Chief Justice Wal
ter P. Stacy was elected an associate
justice in 1929 and appointed to his
present place in 1925 Y Governor A
w. Mclean; Justice Heriot Clarkson
was appointed by Governor Cam Nor
rison in 1923; Justice Michael Schenck
was appointed Wy Governor ]. c. b.
Ehringhaus in 1884, and the same
governor named Justice w. A. Devin
in October, 1896. Governor Clyde r.
Hoey appointed Justices M " Barn
hill and Wallace Winborne in 1887
and Justice A. A. F. Seawell in 1888
Superior Court judges:
First: Everett Thompson appointed
by Hoey, 1887.
Hoey, 1887
Third: r. Hunt Parker, named b.
Q. Max Gardner, 1882.
Fourth: Clawson L. Williams, elect
ed by people, 1884.
Fifth: J. P. Frizzelle, elected by peo-
pie, 1880.
Sixth: Henry A. Grady, elected by
people, 1922.
Seventh: w. c. Harris, elected by.
people, 1926, 4re
Eighth: E. H. Cramner, appointed

I have SEEM governmentalized rail-
roads, telegraphs4 and telephones work
remarkably well in foreign countries.
In this couhtry Iy.would surmise that
waterworks ought to be municipaliz-

surely ought to be available almost
absolutely free in a civilized COM
munity-possibly barring taxation for
faucet and fire-butt pressure. Yet, in
my home town of Alexandria, Va
water costs about as much as gas or
electricity. It is a private monopoly.
Water!
The late Senator Robert B. Howell.
of Nebraska maintained that ice
ought to class as water-since it was
water, frozen. And, as city engineer
of Omaha, he did establish a NUM-
cipal ice plant.
Senators Clashed.
For some strange reason Senators
Howell and George w. Norris (still
surviving) never did get along we'll
together.
They agreed in principal but clash
ed in practice.
Senator Norris considered Senator
Howell a reactionary, though Senator
Howell verged on being public-owner-
ship advocate. Senator Howell was
pro- Senator Norris program in gen
eral but deemed it cuckoo in detail.

those for May In other words the
trend this year is up, while last year
it was down.
Turning to another of the so-called
business barometer" returns, receipts
from gasoline tax receipts for last
month slipped considerably from the
figures for May,,I1937, but as in the
case of sales tax revenue, they were
higher than in the preceding month.
Figures: May, 1885, S2O35, 39o.59; May,
1887, $2,166, 035.63; April, 1888, $1,905.-
975.89.
The most notable May, 1888, in
creases over the corresponding month
of 1887 were in privilege and fran
chise taxes, Privilege levies Melted
$4,000 more this May than last, while
franchise tax collections were up $74,-
600. Coupled with a gain in inherit
ance taxes of about $4,000 the total
revenue division receipts for May,
1898, were up $131, 3O3.84 or. 7.3S per

Approves Condemnation of
Hague Display of Anarchy

To the Editor Of The Star
1t does ones heart good to read a
bold defense of our liberties by such an
able man, and one of such unscrupulous
honesty in the journalistic world, as
Frederic William Vile. I refer to his
article as it appeared in your issue of
June 8.
In assailing the Boss Hague of New
Jersey, Mr.. Vile expresses the senti-
ment OF the great majority of the Amer
lean people that If the Fuehrer Hague
OF New Jersey gets away unchallenged
With his abbrogation of the Constitution
OF the United States and his conversion
OF the Bill Of Rights into a Nazi- Fascist
Communist mockery then the denizens
OF this land of the free and home of the
brave will deserve classification as
ostriches and oysters" who do not value
their liberties and do not know how to
defend it,
There is no doubt that Mayor Hague
made the Bill of Rights and the Consti-
tuition OF the United States a laughing
stock IN Europe. When democracy is
on It's defensive, as it is now in a goodly
portion OF the globe, men who place
themselves above the law of the land
90 not render any aid to liberty, but
rather make despotism and political
charlatanism. a worthy cause 1t incites
great portion of our society to follow
the mob psychology with the anarchic
state of mind.
The display of anarchy by Mayor
hague OF New Jersey in refusing q per-
init to speak to such men of distinc-
ton like Congressman O'Connell, Nor
man Thomas and other prominent men
deserves the condemnation of all free
minded citizens of this land of ours
Some one should send Mayor Hague a
part OF the speech made by our great
Burke that the freedom of some is the
freedom of the herd of swine that ran
violently down steep place into the
sea and were drowned. The only liberty
that is valuable is the liberty connected
with order; that not only exists with
order and virtue, but which cannot exist
at all without them"
j. A. THEMPER.
