TIME AND HIS FORELOCK

In the amazement over the
atomic bomb, America and the
world, no doubt, have overlooked
the possibilities of atomic energy,
and nobody but Clifford Pinchot,
former governor of Pennsylvania
and a big figure in T. R. days,
seems to have thought of guarding
the rights of the people in this
connection.
When atomic power is applied
to the everyday life of mankind,
as we hope it will be, there will
be those who wish to control it
for it will take the place of a lot
of power and other controls in
many ways that will affect this
nation and the world.
Some may say that Mr.. Pinchot
is borrowing trouble, worrying
owe nothing, seeing evil before
evil exists. All we'll and good. But
there is no denying that nothing
that has revolutionized the affairs
of men wherein a profit existed,
but that greedy interests, who
some will politely and perhaps adj
miringly call "foresighted," were
found waiting and with plans to
hold it for their w profit and
permit people, only thru paying
tribute, to enjoy. There is no
reason to believe that atomic
power will be an exception.
Patents will be produced to harness
1T, and such secrets will not be
revealed except for a price and
we'll protected.
In a letter to newspapers thru
out the nation, Mr.. Pinchot says

Bar Association ToIerutes Corruption

We re ure u readers will acquit us of any desire t o embarrass
the distinguish gentlemen who compose the American Bar Association.
However,, we feel it is duty, os writers for a free and utrammeled
newspaper, to call attention to the fact that Harry S. Knight, secretary
Of the American Bar Association, has just been convicted in a Federal
court in Scranton, Pa, of the rather serious charge of fixing" Federal
Judge Albert w. johnson in order that MI. Knights client might get
the decision he desired.
Of course, the conviction of this distinguished member of the
American Bar Association does not prove that all lawyers ar crooks.
1t does prove, however, that the American Bar Association, fond of
lecturing others, makes little O r 10 effort to clean its own house.
prevailing in Judge Johnsons court. When Harry Sauthoff, then Con
gresham from Wisconsin, made a partial exposure OF the floor of the
House, he didn't receive the least bit of aid OF announcement from the
Bar Association.
Instead, the Bar Association retained Mr.. Knight as its secretary
after he had been indicted by a Federal grand jury and while it was a
matter Of common knowledge that he and a number of other lawyers
had been buying court decisions in Scranton for a considerable period

IN The WIND
From III NATION

Mayflower descendants take
note: Equality is the arch-foe of
liberty. Equality cuts down the
peak and summit of ambition to
the valley of the COMMONPLACE"
Sidney Samuels, Fort Worth at
torney, told the Waco, Texas,
Junior Chamber of Commerce on
November /. The Waco News
Tribune reported his address thus:
Asserting that not only the gov
ernments of Europe but also our
own government are endeaeoring
to proclaim the unavoidable hy-
pothesis that all men are created
equal, Samuels told the Jaycees
that in adopting this doctrine the
governments are trying to drag
genius to the masses. This doctrine
is none other than the doctrine of
socialism, he said. Tracing the his
tory of socialism, Samuels said that
it had its roots in the establishment
of the Plymouth colony in Amer
ica.'
Economics; California olive
crop pressure groups said the
Wall Street Journal of November
5, "haVe both barrels trained on
the OPA for more immediate re-
lief. They're aiming for at least
a 10 per cent increase in whole
sale prices, which would shoot re-
tail prices up about 20 to rs per
cent. One packer frankly admits
the situation has it's funny side.
Here on n side he said, we're
trying to convince the OPA that
olives are speciality luxury items,
and a price increase wouldn't raise
the cost of living or affect many
people. But then we turn around
to persuade the public that olives
are a necessity everyday food item
and not just an extra luxury or a
decorative relish.'"
Heresy: w. H. Gerhauser, presi-
dent of the American Ship Build
ing Company told a recent meet
ing of the American Merchant
Marine Conference in New York
that government shipbuilding
should supplement private work
in peace time, in order to keep the
private yards going.

The Miners Life!

The expected death of LOO coal miners before December 81, 1915,
in the production of approximately 500 100000 tons of coal is much too
high a price to pay for coal mining.
1t is high time something is done to cut down this tremendous loss of

Little does the public realize that for every Go 900 tons of coal
