JUDGE FACES PROBLEM

But Barnett's crime occurred be-
fore that law was passed.
The court Is asked TO pass sent-

court feels that the maximum
should be given In this case. The
maximum - one half the maxi

Then, in January, 1928. on the
date set for Barnett's srraignment,
he failed to appear. forfeited his
bail and was not heard from until
1888, when he was arrested In Los
Angeles.
He was released then to Mime

NOTES UNDERSTANDING"


THE prosecutor at that time
(Bertil f. Johnson) thought II
unwise to bring him out here for
this" Rowland told Judge Hodge.
There was a tacit understand
ing, as in all such cases, that II
he was slapped on the wrist In
Minnesota. he would be brought
back for trial here. II he served
a substantial sentence. and he did
serve four and a half years, he
would not be brought back.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS
In view OF the fact the case Ii
IL years old, that 1t was second
degree burglary at the most, that
a previous prosecutor with bet
ter case saw fit TO release him to
Minnesota and that no attempt
has been made TO bring DECKER
son back. and In view Of the fact
that he has served a substantial
sentence in Minnesota and will be
under parole there is years, this
office believes on this plea OF
guilty, saving expense Of trial,
some degree Of leniency Ia war
ranted."
He recommended q term Of one
to three years.
Nothing was offered by the
ordinarily voluble Barnett, and
little by his attorney, S. A. Gag
liardi.

England Plays Old Game

Stuart Chase, well known American economist and
writer takes slant European affairs recently
published book called The New Western Front"
According to Chase, it is too bad that Napoleon
defeated at Waterloo, that is from the stand point OF
countries in Europe-that France Germany, Italy
SPAIN Poland and the Balkan countries should all have
government and one official language
Even this unificaton had taken place under tyrant
like Napoleon. according to Chase, the people of Europe
could have been expected eventually to reform their
revolt and probably wind up with pretty good
government.
Chase blamed England for the troubles of Europe He
contends that the English policy has consistently been
of cold sefneres and that England has worked to keep
Europe divided with the result that the part of Europe
he refers which has less and than the
United States, is divided into q distinct nations each
with its tariff WALL its army, its distinct Jeal
ousies and feuds, etc.
Chase the English viewpoint. He admits that
unfcation of Europe would make impossible for London
to be sort of world capital But he strongly that
Englands problem not problem. Against the stand
ing English argument that any European nation strong
enough to threaten Englands supremacy will surely
the and attack Chase quotes figures and
military data indicating that, on our own side of the
ocean, We could fight and whip TO sandsl any attack
made with the combined and manpower of West
ern European powers even basis of holding off the
Japanese at the same time.
This book is of great Importance Chases literary back
ground and liberal standing would free him of
of playing Hitlers game. There is doubt but that
Chases basic accusation that England plays game of
divide and rule and has played it for centuries invites
impartial study He recalls the fact that England supported
the South IN civil in unsuccessful attempt
to divide and Bakanize country
In the days news, England's diplomatic support of
Poland dictatorship which has three times since the
World conducted threatened and seized territory
by force from three neghborng states Russia Lthuana
and Czechoslovaka following Englands abandonment at
Munich of the latter state bonade and peaceful democ
would argue substantially in favor of Chases
viewpoint.
If Chase is right-and monarchistic, arstocratic and
imperial England is true friend of democracybut is
essentially only selfish state continuing in effect
unnatural dominance 200 million Western Europeans
by managing to keep those people divided balanced
and at odds with each other then most certainly should
have part in it,

PROGRESS NEEDS FREE
MEN ON FREE EARTH

Editor, The Times; Recent
Times letters praising the
Soviet Union need comment.
Insofar as the USSR has
given. the workers control over
the earth. it has produced
progress. Insofar as it has
thwarted that control through
regulation and coercion, it has
limited that progress.
Free men possessed of equal
right and opportunity to use of
the earth will work with an in
ner push and initiative, and
will produce a quantity of
wealth, unknown in any COM
munity regulated either by
Strengthening monopolism or by
sitting bureaucracy.
No man-made institution. no
government. no law. no plan,
no form of outside compulsion,
can in any way substitute for
the self-generated initiative Of
free men operating on free
earth
Every compulsion, every regu-
lation, every new plan, system.
state or private monopoly can
but diminish in proportion TO
its power the ambition and &C
tivity of normal men.
When the Communists put
the workers in control of the
lands and resources of Russia.
they laid great foundation
for a golden future. But when
they set up an intricate net
work of state regulation and
control. which proceeded to
dominate every form of human
activity. and TO decide in de-
tail just how the workers would
use their new control over the
earth, they cancelled out in
large measure the gains they
would have made.

the Soviet Union has made indi-

dous force inherent in equal

II. after saving its resources
and lands from the lords Of the

Democracy has become almost
overnight the subject of spirited
discussion among Americans. At
banquet tables and across lunch
counters, in limousines and on
busses. over radios and from pull
pits. democracy" is defined and
defended and disagreed about.
just what do we American
people mean by our democracy
For generations we have re-
Taxed in the warm knowledge
that our country has it and that
it's a great thing. Now we have
been hearing ii derided. We
have heard il called a futile neu-
trail thing compared to other
forms of government. We have
even recently witnessed the sur
render of democracies not unlike
our own TO the avowed enemies
Of democracy.
We want desperately to cling
TO our democracy, and so we try
to analyze II. and so we ask our
friends:
What do YOU think is es-
sential to political democracy?
Checks and balances The rule
of majority? Ephasis on the
Individual? A written constltu-
ton? Consent Of the people ?
Civil liberties Separation OF
powers? The federal system ?
Universal suffrage What
things must we defend and cling
to in order to preserve our DEM
ocracy >"
And our friends say: "We-ell.
] haven't thought about IL much
in those terms. All ! know is
we must hang on TO it
We all know that. but our
democracy is no longer an inst-
tuition to be taken for granted.

have.

les of twelve essays on dem

BRIGHT MOMENTS

Thomas n. Benton, the great
southern American statesman
who at one time was prominently
mentioned for the presidency of
the United States. was one of
the most beloved men who ever
served in congress When his
home burned in Washington it
gave so much heartfelt SYM
pathy to everyone that both
houses adjourned, and when he
came TO the ruin OF his home,
the silent, helpless crowd barred
their heads. At the time he said

To them II wa a mon
strou< thing that the man
who had taught them truth
and morality could also be
the fraudulent trader.
The Indians concluded
that IL he could engage IN
a fraudulent business his
preaching also must be
fraud and some Of them
warned him to get out of
the country. He had Just
received news of the Whit
man massacre and fearing
the same fate for himself
and wife. he abandoned the
mission.
Undoubtedly they would have
shared the same fate had il not
been for the majority of the
Neg Perez who remained friend
". They provided strong
war party to escort him out
Of the country and refused
large rewards offered by other
tribes for the delivery Of DR..
Spaulding to them.
News OF the betrayal by tbs
great teacher who became a
trader spread through the
tribes east OF the mountains
and added to the difficulties Of
Gov. Stevens several years later.
His promises seemed fair. But,
the Indians argued. II the mis-
sionary could prove false, how
much reliance could be placed
in the promises Of one whose
purpose admittedly was to trade
them out Of some of the land
which they had occupied for
generations.
When all the facts are
taken into consideration II
Is not difficult 10 under
stand what prompted some
of the atrocities committed
by the Indians. At least
part of the cause can he
traced to the fact that
great men. actuated by the
highest motives, did not
understand the Indian ma
ture.

DEER IN NEW YORK STATE

Strange as 1t seems. there are
far more wild deer in New York
state today than when the IN

Just as strange is the fact
that of the 225. 900 deer now at
large in New York state, most
live in the semi-agricultural
areas and not in the heavily
forested regions.
