John Swinton who was on the edi-
torial staff of New York newspapers
for a number of years was rendered a
banquet, and as the story goes, re-
sponded to the toast, "An Independent
Press; "There is no such a thing in
America as an Independent press
You know it and | know it. There is
not one of you who would dare write
his honest opinions. l am paid $3.50

This business of the journalist is to
destroy the truth, to lie outright, to
pervert, to villify, to fawn at the feet
of Mammon, and sell himself, his
country, and his race for his daily
bread. We are tools and vassals of
rich men behind the scenes We are
intellectual prostitutes"
Your article: "Relief client loses

that Sam Ford as an individual,

Nature Still

Nature. is the greatest specialist
Oh all, in the opinion of scientists of
the National Wildlife Federation.
Man, with all his inventive gem

according to David Awkward, presi-

Awkward points out. 1.-THE bird is

comotion through the air and mans
best efforts to duplicate its flight
have SO far failed in every respec,
but speedR
The sole reason for mans supe-
rior speed in the air can be attribut-
ed to his ability to construct en-
gines of great power, according to
Awkward.
The best plane man could build
would not bulge from the ground If
it had no more power than that ex-
pended by bird" Awkward says
I'm every other respect than speed
the bird is still the worlds best fly
ing machine, despite mans unre-
lenting efforts to perfect aviation
A bird. can easily 60 through ma
neuvers that would tear the av-
erage plane to pieces and in almost
every other respect is far superior
to man-made flying machines
1.-The ability of duck hawk tc
come hurting out of the sky in q
vertical dive, its body virtual
aerial javelin, and yet come out Of
that devastating sWoop safely, is {
feat that even a Stuka bomber
couldn't duplicate"
Awkward states that Nature is SUI
perior to man in the water as vel
as the air.
Compare the speed and maneu
variability of submarine to thu
performance of fish, or to certain
marine animals he comments b,

Big Job to Move
NorthWest's Grain Crop

The Iron Horse and thousands of
railroad men are buckling into the
annual big push"-the transporta-
ton of another crop to the great
grain concentration points along
5000 miles of Great Northern rail-
way.
Farmers of Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Montana and Washington
have begun pouring into the chan
nels of commerce, through hun
dreds of local elevators, the 1910
grain crop, and the movement is
expected to reach its crest before
September |.
And, before a single carload of
the new crop was moved toward

recently purchased 1000 new box
cars, and most Of these will be.
available for the transportation of
the 1910 crop.
Hundreds of cars now are in grain
service, and approximately 5000 are
on storage tracks at strategic points
throughout the system, ready for
immediate use on demands of ship

that at least 5000 additional cars
will be available when the move

Oh yes, they gave us time;
Time to grow up
In their bled and wasted world,
And time for us to build for peace

And learn to laugh and love and

- the selection of the custom OF
having IL members on jury was
advanced in 1882 by Lord Summers
and corrohArated by Lord Coke. The
theory, recognizing that the purpose
OF the jury was to ascertain the
truth, recorded the fact that the IL

Finland's ate

Stories that have come out Of
Finland telling OF the successes OF
the little country'S armed forces
against the Soviet giant have been
exceedingly pleasant reading. They
have shown the course OF the wal,
with its reverSeS and disasters to
Stalin'S invaders, to be highly to
the liking OF an America almost
unanimous in its sympathy not only
for tine underdog but for people
whose creed OF lie is more like
that of our western world than any
other European country, with one
or two exceptions.
These stories have been so
uniformly favorable to Finnish arms
that an impression seems to have
gained ground that the little nation,
after all. is 10 be another David
destined to win 4 glorious victory
over its Goliath. And how fine, how
very fine and wonderful it would
pe if such could be the ultimate
outcome OF the war.
There is the old story Of God and
one constituting Il majority. And
while we would not wish 10 be one
to mix God up in this affair, it is
so clear that all the world may
know, if it cares to know, that
Finland is being punished solely
because it has resisted rather than
surrender its independence TO mad
dictator in Moscow. And the brave
tight that has been made in stand
ing off for two and a half months
the repeated assaults OF Russian
forces many times greater has
excited the admiration of liberty
loving peoples everywhere 1t has
made us all yearn for ultimate sue
cess and for the opportunity to do
something TO help along cause
that is right against a bulldozing,
ntlmatIng, bclStcrous, atheistic
neighbor.
But unless Finland can get help

better. and it would not be amlss
to acquaint that gentry with public
sentiment.
Mr.. Dies and his inquisltorS have
done the country real service and
a needed service by throwing light
upon the bunds, the communists,
the silver shirt bunch and others
of similar stripe. When the flame
has been held so close as to SINCE
persons in high places yell has
gone up that the inquiry was per-
secution. But the only trouble was
that it seemed to stop short
of the mark.
Congress would not be acting
amiss in authorizing the Dies board
to be even a little palmer than 1t
has been. If congressman are
tainted, the country has 4 right to
know it. If left WingerS IN the adj
ministraton-and heaven knows
there are plenty of them-have been
having Seditious relations with these
aliens, or alien sympathizerS, that
should be known, and the sooner
the better, that they may be ousted
as fast as possible, no matter how
nigh up the Shiny trail might lead.
Enough has been turned up by
the Dies committee to demonstrate
that sinister activities are and have
been going on in this. country
Evidence has been abundantly con-
vincing for those who are willing
TO be convinced. Those with closed
minds or who are unwilling to see
the light might stand little in
vestigating OF their own attitudes.
Certainly with the Wanton waste
of finances that is all too common,
the bit of pin money placed to the
credit of Dies and his proberS has
been put to wonderfully good USE
1t has not been intended by Con-
greSs that the inquisitors should
degenerate into smearing brigade,
and there is nothing to prove that
the committee has been imbued
with such motive.
