OLD BOOKS AND DUST

OLD BOOKS AND DUST
(By Anthony j. Petite in the Boston POST
1 look at them, as on the shelves
In times old dust they lay
The works of famous authors,
Who lived another day.
Shakespeare and Byron,
Kipling and Poe,
And scores of other volumes
OF lesser ones We know.
Biographies and Bibles,
History and Art;
OF my vast collection
All these are @ part.
Psychology and Ethics,
Poetry and Prose,
Tennyson and Dickens,
Standing row on row
Some are bound In leather
AGE cannot impair;
Some, from constant USE have shown
Much shabbineSs and wear.
Old books somehow have strong appeal
Commanding love and trust,
And doubtful would they seem the same.

son was Gadsden's long and
harsh anti-uni0n record.

son was Gadsden'S long and
harsh anti-union record.
Among laborites, Gadsden is
known as one of the toughest"
anti-union cities in the country.
Several years ago, when Sher-
man Dalrymple, head of the CLIO
Rubber Workers Union, headed a
drive to organize the workers in
the rubber factories there, he was
beaten and ordered to leave.
And only a few months ago,
when he arrived to address a big
union rally, he was informed that
the hall, previously engaged, had
just been cancelled.
Backed by kilograms and petit
tiOnS from both ALL and CLIO
sources, Defense Commissioner
Sidney Hillman and his Labor
Advisory Committee assailed
the Army's plan to locate the
she'll plant in Gadsden. They
insisted that it be built some
where else.
The Army admitted the valid
ity of the attack. but commended
it was strategically necessary to
locate the plant in Gadsden be-
cause of the availability of raw
materials.
In order not to obstruct vital
defense production the labor
finally withdrew their objections,
but only after obtaining explicit
assurances that the labor records
of communities would be carefully
considered in locating future de-
Tense industries.

Senator Gillette, meanwhile, is
due to put in busy autumn as head
of the Senate's campaign investigat-
ing committee. Preliminary studies
of alleged election Irregularities in
certain eastern states have indicat-
ed that the committee is likely to
strike pay dirt = in the literal
meaning of the term-when it starts
open hearings.
At the moment the spots which
seem due to provide most of the
entertainment are New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Delaware.
Over in Boss Hague's bailiwick, for
instance, committee investigators
discovered 81 persons had voted from
one city apartment. They went
around to the apartment and got
from the janitor an affidavit that
for five years no more than four
persons had lived there.
They also uncovered a travel
ing ring of "floater" voters =
casuals who would vote first in
Philadelphia, then in Camden,
and then down the river in VIII
mington. Additional cases of
citizens who maintained voting
rights = and exercised them = in
Philadelphia and Camden stimuli
taneously have come to light.
With presidential election
coming closer every day, this will
be tough stuff to be spreading on
the front pages. Politicians who
have been trying vainly to bury
the whole mess have at least tn
comfort that the material is likely
to spatter both parties alike.

the whole matter up to jackson.
AS result, the betting now is
that the suit will be filed in the
very near future. 1t may be toned
down some; instead of asking that
the % major oil companies be
forced to get rid of their pipe lines
and marketing facilities, it might
simply ask the court to grant such
relief as the facts warrant. The
general effect, however, would be
much the same.
TOO LATE FOR
SENATE QUIZ
If it hadn't been for an odd chain
of circumstances, the Senate would
long since have held exhaustive pub
lie hearings on the very point Ar
mold is now seeking to attack in
open court-the question whether
pipe line and marketing facilities
owned byb the big oil companies do
not tend to kill competition and
raise prices to the consumer.
Nearly two years ago Senator
Gillette of Iowa put in a bill to
divorce the oil companies from
their marketing facilities. He was
all set to open public hearings
when theh late Senator Borah
asked him to hold it: Borah had a
bill to make them give up their
pipe lines, and he suggested the
two bills be consolidated and
hearings held on both matters at
once.
Gillette agreed. Then Borah
got tied up, first with the Tenn
iporary National Economic Com
mite and then with the neutral
ity fight, and hearings were post
poned. Finally Borah died. Gill
lette last April arranged to oper
hearings-only to find Arnold was
preparing to cover the same field
with an antitrust suit. Agree
ment then was that the Senate
hearings would be postponed I'M
til Arnold'S suit was filed.
With Congress due to quit in a
week or so, it's too late for the
hearings now.

Auditor Report
Shows Efficiency

Jesse T. Rees, County Auditor,
stated this week in a report CIV
en- the Newark Leader, that his
promise of efficiency has been
fulfilled by the adoption of the
following policy:
Complete Encouragement of the
office so that work could be done
more efficiently. And by en-
ploying help capable of doing the
Job.
Rees stated further that "two
years of delinquent taxes that
were behind have been brought
up to date, and that when as
suming the office March 13,
1889, there was a total of $19,-
900 in unpaid bills and an over
draft of $4,000, making a total
deficit of $57, ,000."
During the year Mr.. Rees has
paid $4,000 on the notes for the
above and kept all interest up to
date. Up to Dec. 33, 1889 there
was $500 of unpaid bills for the
state. These have been paid to
that date. The office, under Mr..
Rees, closed the year with no
overdraft and a cash balance of
$2,201.51. Current bills amount
ed to $1,181.97.
