while now, not only me, but every
man or woman who writes or does
any correlated work must earn his
compensation in the sweat of ev-
cry available energy.
l talked to a lawyer the other
day who said in answer to my
question as to the state of bust
ness-''there is plenty of business
to be had-but few people ready to
pay for it. People do not seem to
realize that a lawyer must eat"
That blunt but convincing state
ment applies equally well to
preachers and newspaper editors
who frequently find it hard to eat
because people do not include them
among those of whom it is writ
ten "a laborer is worthy of his
hire" l believe that the entrance
of the CLIO in the labor picture is
an entering wedge into this tangled
web of conflicting interests.
Where heretofore only special
lied crafts have been invited into
unions this icOnOclastic new union
proposes to uniOnize every person
in every business, everywhere.
This will include so many formerly
excluded workers in the benefits
of union protection that it will be
realized that those of us left out
in the mistaken belief we are not
labOring should be taken in out of
the cold and be paid according to
our individual merits.
1t all goes to the establishment
of the thought that as members Of
the human race we are all equal,
in the opportunities that should be
given, in the possibilities of the de-
velOpment that inheres in any field
of work be it of the hand or the
brain.

The Negro and the Jew con-
stitute the only racial minorities
that are prosecuted by Christian
nations on account of race.
We once regarded the persecu-
ton of the Armenian as a piece of
villainy of which only the unspeak-
able Turk was capable. When
Chief Justice fancy suggested that
at the time Of the establishment Of
the American Constitution, the
Negro had no rights which a white
man was bound to respect, the
dogma shocked the conscience of
the nation and was repudiated at
the point of the sword as being
repugnant to the principles of
Christianity and the ideals of De-
mocracy. No one dared dream
that seventy years later the head
of a Christian nation would pro-
claim by action which speaks
louder than words that the Jew
from whom our Christian dispen-
sation was derived had no rights
that the German is bound to re-
spect. This partnership in distress
inevitably brings about a fellow
feeling between those two perse-
cuted races.
The Negro is prosecuted because
of his alleged ineptness for civil
lied ways, while the Jew is perse-
cuted because he matches and mas
tiers his prosecutors in various
features of civilization. By virtue
of this enforced partnership, the
Jew will become the natural lead
er of the backward Negro in COM
merce and business, while the lat
ter will furnish a complacent con-
stituency for business and trade.
The Negro is in a large measure
the beneficiary of Hebrew persecu-
ton. The vial of wrath which was
poured out upon the head of the
Negro alone, is now spread out so
as to cover the Jew as well. Ex-
tension over the larger area less
ems intensity at any one point. A
decade ago we saw the debacle of
the Ku Klux Khan based on racial
arrogance because it took in too
much territory by including the

Poetic Thoughts
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.


Can't Take it
So many people tease someone else,
But can't take it when the case is reversed,
For they soon forget what rehearsed
That it was in fun but they make it appear
Now a good sport is one of those
Who never ready to step their toes,
carrying ur feelings upon sleeves
Makes IS as miserable a dog with feas.
You'll also notice by those who do
Make it practice to always tease you,
If they find out you're weak and will fall,
Then at your expense, they prepare for ball.
Many people in defeat often prove
That they're better sports when in groove
the portsmanhke way in which they leave doubt
They still can good fellows though put to
So control yourself in all you do,
If you can't take kidding through and through,
Don't hand it out or else prepare to pay,
The agony of who can't take it the right way.

Therefore, it is not legally un-
der consideration by the con-
ferees. 1t cannot be altered or
eliminated by them. But it will
be. Here's how:
FTER many a sleepless day,
A one hole worker who ap-
peared in the dark to be Sena-
tor Bankhead, discovered that
there was a difference in the
identical Boileau and McNary
amendments. Mr.. Boileau tackled
his on the soil conservation
part of the bill. Senator McNary
added the same thing, word for
word to the parity payments
provision. Therefore-and don't
laugh please-the i'd ntical
amendments are different and
the confereeS may change them.
This reasoning may seem a
little too circuitous to you, but
1t is straight enough for the
conferees. They have decided
thus to take the most objection
able parts out of the Boileau-
McNary edict, send it to the
House for ratification and then
get the Senate to recede.
However, they do not want
Representative Boileau or Sena-
tor McNary to know about it,
as a premature slide may de-
velop in the role.
THE scissors trick is a little
L more complicated, in fact,
so complicated that all the
hole workers have managed to
do so far is to cut themselves.
Two or more Of them were
seen coming up for air and ad-
vice the other day, and were
noted trooping into the office
Of Mr.. Garner, the budget
balancing Y. P. Their problem,
as outlined by one of them
later, Is this: Mr.. Roosevelt has
repeatedly said he wants the
cost limited to $500,000, 900, or
new taxes for anything beyond
that amount. Agriculture Sec
retary Wallace, also has COM
planned about the cost, but
privately lie has estimated to
congressman the bill as it
stands will run over $650,000,-
900 and probably 100000, 900.
Others suspect a billion would
be nearer, if the truth were
known.
They made no secret Of the
fact that Garner delivered a
budget-balancing lecture to
them. He told them the PreSi-
dent had imposed on them the
duty Of limiting the bill to $780,

no PROCESSING TAX
IN NEW FARM BILL

DEHIND the farm bill dicker-
ID ing lies the essential trouble
with Mr.. RooSevelt's plan to
rally the farmers and laborers
for mutual support.
opposition to the processing
tax, shared apparently even by
the President himself, is based
on the fact that it would be
paid by consumers in increased
food and clothing prices. The
labor crowd is dead set against
that. Conversely if the wage
hour bill really increased labor
purchasing power, the farmers
would have to foot that bill in
increased prices paid for lum-
ber, machinery and manufac-
tured products.
THE ANNUAL Government
l. numbers game, more COM
monty known as budget making,
is proceeding about the same as
usual. New figures are some
what clearer, but the conclusion
is just as inconcluS1ve as ever.
The most significant figures
were not those submitted today,
but the ones submitted a year
ago. If you will look back to
the Presidents statement of
January, 1887, you will find he
then estimated his receipts for
this year at $7,293 millions.
Now he estimates them at $6,.
800 millions.
He was off nearly a billion
dollars, but that is not all. He
will not know how near his
present guess is until next June
80. Expenditures were eSti.
mated at $7,658 millions last
January; now at $7,408 millions
which is off $250,000,000.
There is no reason to believe
his new guesses will turn out any
better a year from now.

Waterbury Flood Control

Citizens and taxpayers are quite concerned over the estimates of the cost of flood control in the Riverside Street section.
 A half-million dollars is lot of money in Waterbury's finances these days.
 We should go slowly and ponder bit on this problem. Many ques- tions ask themselves:
 Do we need flood control after getting along without it for fifty years or more?
 Is there a duty and liability of the city to protect private property against flood or does the purchaser and owner of land assume this hazard?
 Has the city inquired thoroughly into the question of whether it has to incur such expense?
 Should the owners of land affected bear some of the burden or must all taxpayers and property owners pay for benefits to few?
 Are such floods as the recent one likely to occur again or are we bor- rowing trouble by thinking so?
 Should the city and its taxpayers shoulder the burden of a few prop erty owners who were unWise enough

Two Ways Of Looking At It

The Hartford Times feels that the selection of jurors for the Waterbury conspiracy trial is taking too much time. It incliries to the theory that both prose cution and defense are too intent on picking out jurors who will be entirely with one or the other. In short the Times concludes that both side in the case are so afraid that hostile jury may be selected that they put each venireman. called through an exhaustive eXamina- tion before accepting or rejecting. The stakes are large in this case; it would seem very necessary to have a jury that will be as impartial as it is possible to get under the circumstances.
 If the diligence in sorting out the jurors was confined to one side of the case only, we might get wrong impress sion and think that some effort was being made to "pack" the jury. But as we said above both sides are equally intent which plainly indicates that both are aware of the consequences that are to come and the trust that must be imposed in the twelve men who will ultimately make some sort of decision as to guilt or inno- cence of the accused. The Waterbury case has attracted nationwide attention from the very start when an extraor dinary grand jury was impaneled, probed, and reported.
 We confess we see nothing out of the ordinary or outside regular court de- corum in the business now going on in our local courthouse. The age-old say ing of Many are called, but few are chosen" is being applied and it is very certainly a privilege that can't be ignored when mems regulations and future car eers hang in the balance.
