And Three Others
Under Indictment
~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 22.-Flanked by
four lawyers. former Federal Circuit
Judge Martin T. Manton went on
trial today on charges of corruption.
His former colleagues in the local
Federal judicial district having dis
qualified. themselves, Judge William
Calvin Chestnut, designated by Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes, as
cended the bench and called the
special panel of $50 talesmen.
Manton's counsel were: John E.
Mack of Poughkeepsie, former Ma
tional Democratic party committee
man and one time Supreme Court
justice In this State; James M.
Noonan of Albany, Edmund c. Will
son of New York and Benjamin
Colder of Philadelphia.
Manton, who resigned from the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals bench last January, has been
indicted five times on charges of
bribery and conspiracy to bribe, OBJ
struct justice and deprive the United
States of fair and impartial serv-
ices as a judge.

confidential agent for the late
Archie M. Andrews, promoter and
f1nancier; William j. Fallon, de-
scribed as a business agent for Man.
ton and an alleged salesman of Judi
cial favors; Forrest w. Davis, an
accountant, and John l.. Lotsch, a
minor Brooklyn politician, who has
pleaded guilty to charges of con-
spiracy to obstruct justice.
AS the senior Judge of the impor-
tant second circuit, which includes
New York and Connecticut, Manton
was outranked only by the justices
OF the United States Supreme Court.
He had been on the Federal bench
70 years when he stepped down
amid accusations by District Attor-
ney Thomas E. Dewey that he had
accepted loans totaling S4O0 900 from
persons interested in litigation be-
fore his court.
The indictments against Manton
were the outgrowth of a series of
patent infringement, receivership
and other cases which came before
the Circuit Court.

agreed that the government would
step in and buy sufficient quantity
of eggs for relief distribution to boil
ster up the market I am not able
to give any definite details about il
because the government representa-
tives had not returned to Washington
when this was written. / will at
tempt to get full particulars for my
next letter.
Department officials tell me that
egg production the past several
months has been unusually heavy
which accounts for the depressed
prices. That may be true in part
but in view of the fact that all agri-
cultural commodities are badly de-
pressed can only conclude that
much of our present day trouble is
due to construction of buying power
Horse Collar Factory Closes.
Several days ago l saw an inter-
esting item in daily paper which
announced that pioneer Madison
(Wisconsin) manufacturer had gone
out of business because the horse
collar business isn't what it used to
be. At one time the concern was
the largest manufacturer of horse col
lars, pads and caps in the country
They were compelled to discontinue
business because the demand for their
products has almost ceased.
There is no question in my mind
but that the present dislocation in
agricultural products is in a large
measure due to the automobile, truck
and tractor, which has destroyed the
market for Is or 80 million acres
that were formerly devoted to the
growing of forage and feed for horses
and as the use of motor vehicles in
creased the troubles of the farmer
correspondingly increased.
This being the situation, we must
find another market for the products
from this acreage. A part of the
slack could be taken up if we were
permitted to produce all the sugar
we consume. Then, too, by blending
gasoline with a 10 percent mixture
of commercial alcohol made from I'M
marketable potatoes, soft corn and
other products of which we have a
surplus, farming can again be made
profitable. If we will use a little
horse sense in dealing with the agri-
cultural problem it can be solved.

posal before Congress and evidently
a number of members felt that they
were in a tight spot because they
voted against the continuation on a
rising vote, but on the roll call voted
for the appropriation. Some, how
ever, refrained from voting, no doubt
because of fear of consequences at
the next election It is not very edi-
flying to witness such instances of
cowardice.
I am certain that an overwhelming
majority of the American people
favor extending the life of the Dies
committee because of the un-Amer-
lean activities of several hostile groups
that have their origin in foreign
countries. l have long maintained
that the danger to the Republic lies
within rather than without, and if
our form of government is ever de-
stroyed it will be because of these
alien influences that have taken root
in our midst.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Although a promise to love, honor
such things are born out of an inner
experience and cannot be held by a
promise, the three words nevertheless
express three great spiritual values.
Love is not only the greatest of all
human values, it is the quality by
which we characterize God. Love
expresses a force for good; honor is
the symbol for accomplishment, hon.
esty and integrity; obedience is a sign
of service to the guiding forces of
our life. Love is mutually, honor
is a gift, obedience is acceptance.
The three words are usually con-
nected with the marriage ceremony,
but they can also express the desir-
able relationship of children to par
ents. A good child loves, honors
and obeys its parents, and although
there comes a time when a young
person shifts his obedience to some
thing else, love and honor should
always abide. Fortunate indeed is
he who always can honor his father
ana MS mOLneT.
A child can be forced to obey, but
he cannot be forced to love or honor
The injunction to Honor Thy Father
and Thy Mother" therefore really
cannot be a commandment. 1t can
be an encouragement to appreciate
the value of parental love and sac
rifice, and it can be an exhortation
to respect, but it should never be a
demand, for it cannot be enforced.
When we speak of children honor
ing their parents, the emphasis should
therefore be shifted from the obliga-
tions of the children to the obligation
of the parents. All children will
honor their parents provided the
parents give them something to honor,
and if that honor is not forthcoming,
it is because the parents have for
feited their right to it. A child nat
urally takes pride in speaking well
of his father and mother. What a
precious gift do parents not give
their children when they enable them
to keep this tribute of honor intact.
Why are children eager to honor
their father and mother? Because
they love them.-The same holds
true of our relation to God. When
we fail to honor God, it is not be-
cause He has forfeited His honor.
1t is because we do not love Him.

PROCEEDINGS OF
ASKOV COUNCIL

The village council of Askov met
in regular session on the End day of
February, 1889, at 8 p. m. in the
council room. All members were
present. Minutes of the regular meet
ing on January S, 1899 and special
meeting on January 10, 1889, were
read and approved.
On hearing Edmund Rix and E. l.
Parson, M. D., from the volunteer

onded and carried to allow a max

partment meetings for one year.

to Britain and France in case of war,
it aroused apprehension throughout
the length and breadth of the land
The President is impulsive, and
often generous with his impulses. In
common with the rest of us he de-
tests relationships but he would go
much farther in showing his dis
approval than the average man on
the street is willing to 60 in saving
the democracies of Europe.
We went over there % years ago
to make the world safe for democ-
racy and it will take us 100 years to
pay the cost of that expedition, not
to mention the loss in life, which is
irreparable. What the democracies
have in the way of territorial posses
sions was acquired by force. If the
dictators should develop enough
strength to take over a portion, or
all of the democracies' outside hold
ings by force it would be unfortunate
but l do not see that we would be
justified in bankrupting this country
in order to help them hold on to what
they now have.
do not want to be repetitious but
again l would like to emphasize that
with 100000 out of work, with
over 100000 families on relief, agri-
culture stagnant, and industry gasp
ing for breath, it would seem that
we have sufficient troubles at home
RI FIJI Oft
5000 miles of ocean on each side OF
us 1 cannot see any danger to our
country from abroad. Our dangers
are right in our own midst.
The President has no legal right
to pledge support to any foreign
country, as he did to Canada last fall,
and more recently to England and
France. We have a neutrality law
that prohibits traffic in munitions and
other war material in time of war
Would he violate that law? Only
Congress can declare war. Would
he take over that power to himself?
President Roosevelt must be made to
understand that this is yet democ-
racy.
