PURCHASING GAS

The Tacoma Chamber Of Com
merce Tuesday officially denied the
announcement made at Washing
ton Monday by the senate civil
liberties committee that this orga-
nization between 1893 and 1881
bought tear and sickening gas for
use in labor disputes.

of the chamber. stated that the
committee must have been misin-
formed because the chamber at no
time has bought any such ma

policy of not entering into labor
disturbances.
Officials announced that records
of the chamber are open for in
spection by authorities at any time

questing that his committee dis
close the source of its information,
denying the report. and inviting
the civil liberties group to inspect
the chambers books.
II was pointed out that the only
time gas was used in Tacoma was
during tho lumber strike and then
only by the state patrol and the
national guard. A citizens COM
mittee" of employer interests OPP
posing the strike was formed
during the same period. but its
operations had no connection what
ever with the chamber of COM
merce nor were its functions con-
Quoted under the authority or
sanctions of the chamber, Andcr-
son declared.

a moderate decline in wheat prices
on Chicago board of trade. Corn
also was easier,

/, to 5, cent, corn off Is to
!, cent. and oats TO cent
higher.
Opening quotations in wheat
were off a to = cent. A break
of more than two cents IN the
Winnipeg market WAS responsible
for further liquidation. Prices reg
istered net losses of as much as
IL. cents. May wheat touched
66a. cents, the lowest price since
last December.
Corn prices followed wheat to
lower levels, although trading was
fairly light. Better export inquiry

interests were on the selling side,
while scattered commission mouse
demand developed on the decline.

COLORADO'S
COURTESY PATROL
alameda Times-Star)

Colorado's highway polce-the state
courtesy patrol-were recently placed
under orders to "courteously" escort
hitch-hikers from the highways
Not only are those who walk the high
ways, "thumbing" rides, menace to the
motoring public, said Supervisor Joseph
j. Marsh, but many of those who do
solicit rides this way are dangerous char
acters.
The state has had on its statute books
for some time laws prohibiting the prac-
tice of hitch-hiking, but it has never been
enforced until this summer. This, tho,
is only one of the more minor duties of
the patrol, which in its three years of
existence has proved worthwhile or
ganization for those who motor in the
state.
Founded on the theory that the motor
ing public should be treated and assisted
with the utmost of courtesy, that violat-
ors of laws should be dealt with in a
polite way rather than. gruffly, the pa
troll was credited with reducing the num-
Der of auto accidents in the three years
of its existence
Last year the courtesy patrolmen re-
ported that they assisted nearly 25,OOO
persons on the highways. They were
women drivers who had flat tires, motor
lists who ran out of gas those who
needed to be pulled out of the ditch or
various others who were in need of help
Mr.. Marsh said his 72 patrolmen last
year travelled 2,662,879 miles, investigat-
ed 3,944 accidents, issued 1O,171 traffic
tickets, and through its port of entry
system to check trucks in interstate COM
merce collected S139,293 in taxes which
otherwise may not have been collected.
Most recent of the many and varied
jobs of the coutesy partolmen has been
their participation in running down the
rubber tired cattle rustler" - cattle
thieves, like those of the pioneer era,
but who operate now by backing large
trucks into herds of valuable animals
grazing on the range and stealing them.
The patrolmen have made many arrests.

AN ORDERLY STRIKE

Governor Culbert L. Olson this week
displayed an attitude which, If carried
out, will do more than anything else to
minimize agricultural labor troubles in
California. Speaking to strikers in the
San Joaquin Valley cotton area, he said:
Strikers owe it to themselves to con-
duct an orderly strike without violence,
otherwise they injure public respect and
support of their own cause" He then
emphasized that the state will protect
civil liberties of both strikers and farm
ers opposing violence by either side. His
comment that growers "are willing to
pay higher scales but are unable to do
SO and come out themselves" reveals an
insight which has been too often lacking
in Sacramento.
Nobody can ask for anything better
than equal treatment for farmers and
strikers. The trouble heretofore has
been that the state government has been
inclined to believe all farmer-employers
are wolves, al striking laborers
sheep"

THIS IS THE SORT OF
THING THAT CAUSES WAR

If the United States is to stay out of
Europe's war, her people must demand
an end of propaganda out of Washing
ton.
Officials in the national capital Mon
day afternoon tipped off reporters that
an American freighter had been seized
by German sea raiders in the North At
lantic 1t was true. 1t was news Head
lines screamed the report from coast to
coast. Most people resented the Ger
man action deeply. Officials in Wash
ington knew they would.
Wherein is the propaganda?
Not in the announcement that an Am
erican vessel had been seized by Germany
Not went deeper than that. 1t lies in
the fact that Washington has suppressed
reports of American ships seized by the
British. After the German seizure Gre
ated such furry L. S. maritime
commission spokesman reluctantly ad-
mitted under questioning by newspaper
reporter that three or four" American
vessels are even now impounded in Brit
ish ports, by order of the British navy.
In other words, where Germany has
seized one American vessel Great Brit
ain has seized several.
Let us as Americans be fair about this
thing, and in being fair protect ourselves
from the hysteria that leads to war.
Candor forces us to admit that we want
to see Great Britain and France win this
war. We want to see Germany beaten so
that Adolf Hitler and his clique will be
dethroned. But WE DO NOT WANT TO
GO TO WAR just so Great Britain and
France will win.
Being fair, we must admit that there
is no moral difference in seizure of an
American vessel by Britain or Germany.
The result is the same, as far as Ameri-
can shipping is concerned. Since this is
true, we should not attach added impor-
tance to German seizure of an American
vessel, and overlook British seizure of
one. Nor should we allow our officials in
Washington to do so. They have no right
to drag us into war, nor have they
any right to attempt to arouse our pas
sons and prejudices so that we will not
object to going to war
The fact is that as long as American
ships ply war zones, navies of one ma
ton or another will seize them and con-
fiscate the contraband they carry. We
can avoid this, and such other unfortu-
nate incidents as that of the freighter
Citv of Flint. by keeping our ships out
of the war zones.
Until we do this however, let us not
| blame one nation for doing thing we
. attach no blame to another for doing.
| Let us, above all, be fair in our own
minds

BUMPS

(Christian Science Monitor)
The new game of Bumps" is keeping
Londoners cheerful after dark 1t is a
game of caution, played extremely slow
ly, the prize going to the one who reaches
home without coming into physical con-
tact with anybody else. Up to the pres
ent none has won prize.
1t is not easy to move about in COM
plete darkness, even along perfectly fam
iliar roads Distances from one corner
to another are apt to stretch or contract
in a most remarkable way, and even
small spaces vary. All manner of devices
are being tried out in order to make
movement simpler. Many people have
taken to whistling; even quite elderly
persons, who were broken of the habit
as children, having found that to whistle
a bright tune is not only effective but
stimulating.
Owners of white dogs are discovering
that their pets act as personal beacons
when on the lead others are using white
containers for their gas masks. One IN
dividual, who spends his time tramping
around London, has gone so far as to
paint the entire front portions Of his
clothing, including his boots, in an effort
to insure that his presence will not be
felt Such a complete white-out, how
ever is hardly to be recommended. 1t
may prove useful by night but is apt to
be too conspicuous by day.

If conditions ever called for 6
long view of things, they call for
it today. The future always de-
pends in some degree on the pres
ent; but today, in an especially en-
phatic manner. the future of the
United States and its people de-
pends on decisions that are made
now.
It is the good fortune of this
people that the possibility of max
ing decisions still exists. Most of
the peoples of Europe had come
to point where they had no
choice. Their decisions in 1889 were
the almost automatic result of the
positions into which they had grad
ually been driven during the past
10 years.
But there are still choices open
to the United States. They should
be made with the longest possible
vision into the future. Certain
things may be foreSeen. One is
that the European war, no matter
how terrible or how destructive
will not go on forever. Some day
it will stop, whether that cessation
is an armistice or a genuine peace.
What then?
First, the United States does not
want to find itself with an economy
closely geared to supplying Europe's
wartime deficiencies. That would
mean an immediate and disastrous
business slump. the shock of which
the country is ill-equipped to
stand.
Second, the European nations
which have been at war will make
a desperate and immediate drive
to regain such foreign trade a.
has been lost. Machinery gearec
for war will be switched to make

read about lives being blasted out?
Well. we can, even in war times!
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ameri-
can philosopher, told us how IS
years ago. The principle he laid
down is Just as true now as when
he first proclaimed it:
Happiness is a perfume you
cannot pour on others without
getting a few drops on yourself" ;"
Superb 1t contains the very
bedrock of happiness forget
yourself; do things for others
DR.. Henry C. Link, director of
the Psychological Service Center
of New York, had a woman come
to him for help. She was miserably
unhappy. She confessed that twice
she planned suicide, but when the
moment arrived she lacked the
courage to go through with it.
Questioning her he found she had
money, splendid health. and a
successful husband of whom she
was proud. Yet she was unhappy.
DR.. Link studied her case, then
almost made her think him crazy
by telling her she was to go on the
East Side of New York and teach
a class of foreigners to speak
English.
Teach foreignersl The idea! She
refused.
But when he asked her for
better suggestion she could sup
ply none; Then try mine" he in
sisted
She went with mistrust and re-
sentiment, and could hardly force
herself to go through the first
session. The next day it was lit
tie less difficult. Little by little
she became interested in her work,
and in the people. She was doing
something for others. She was
ceasing to think about herself
One of the adults in the class
wanted to visit her brother in
Harrisburg. He hadn't seen him
since they had come to America
in the steerage. So she began to
plan how this could be done
She raised the money and went
to the train with him herself. She
became SO interested in her work
that she got a friend of hers to
teach a class, too. One day she
said, when I look back I'm am
azed at how unhappy was year
ago, and how happy 1 am todayl"
I once interviewed Eyangeline
Booth of the Salvation Army. She
was past 10, but had risen at five
that morning and ridden in to
New York from the country "a
trip of more than an hour, and
on the way had dictated cores
pondence TO her secretary. She
was so happy and so cheerful that
asked her how she could be
when she had SO much care and
responsibility, She thought for a
moment then said, II suppose it's
because I get so busy with the
troubles of others that I forget
my own.

Bruce Cation in WASHINGTON

tensive proselyting campaigns a
mong members of the house OF
representatives.
Focus of attention so far has
been on the senate; yet any Dill
which passes the senate must also
pass the house, and it recently oc-
Cured to both sides that some mis-
sionary work ought TO be done
there. After all. last spring the
house refused-by margin OF Al
votes-to repeal the embargo.
One up-to-date isolationist report
is that 1886 members of the house
have thus far given definite state
mentS of their position on the mea-
sure. and that 1870 of these have
stated that they intended to vote
to uphold the embargo.
A California congressman reports
that so far he has not found any
man who voted for the embargo
last spring who intends to vote
for repeal this fall. Another weS-
terner contradictS this and says
that he personally knows of three
such switches in his own part OF
the country.
One of the most prominent iso-
lationist senators had a poll taken
in a section of his state a few days
ago on the neutrality issue. The
used the most accurate methods
he knows of, which have proven
reliable in past political campaigns
The result, he said, was vote OF
about 81 to 219 in favor of keep
ing the embargo-out of approxi-
mately 6000 people polled.
The odd part is that this jibeS
neither with his mail from that
section-which has been running
around five to one for keeping the
embargo-nor with the Gallup poll
which has been running in favor
of repeal. Now he's trying to fl
cure which of the three indicate
is most nearly right.
