give to this servant of God and
humanity the recognition and
gratitude due for his service
to the children of My Father"
1t is so years since Doctor
Harvey w. Wiley, physician,
chemist, prophet and humani-
tartan, more than any other
one man succeeded in getting
passed by Congress the Food
and Drug Inspection Laws to
protect all the people of the
Nation from the INSCRIPTIONS
who would traffic in poisonous
practices and for greed barter
away the peoples health.
The creed of Doctor Wiley
and those who across these five
decades have followed the
paths he blazed is: THE
health of the people is the
wealth of the Nation" Like
most reformers the man now
canonized on a stamp was
canonized by those whose
illegitimite gains he exposed.
The Capital of the Nation
witnessed this past week the
assembling in conference and
banquet a galaxy of public
servants such as perhaps have
never before come together
with jubilation in their hearts
and on their lips. They came
to celebrate an achievement of
five decades ago and to sound
the trumpets for the vast task
which calls for an increasing
strategy in the expanding pat
tern of our modern life. The
triumph of the Food and Drug
Act which President Theodore
Roosevelt signed was it's in
sistence that, for the protec-
ton of the peoples health,
labels must tell the truth
about the things offered for
sale. No wonder such a rad
ical requirement sent fake
medicine men into a war
dance. One patent medicine
which thousands had accepted
as cure for a number of seri-
Gus maladies was found to be
but ordinary horse liniment
made of ammonia, turpentine

Among other things which
this Congress Is not going to
do that 1t should do Is enact
legislation limiting the amount
Of money that can be spent
by special interest groups" in
any political campaign for any
candidate. There are two rea-
sons no action will be taken at
this session about this. One
is because neither party has
working majority; the other,
because this is an election
year.
The man who has most Wig
orously called attention to the
need for legislation on this line
Is Senator Barry Goldwater,
Republican of Arizona. The
group most strongly opposed is
composed of the present labor
bosses of the AFL-CIO. The
event that has most clearly
outlined the issue is the deci-
sion of a Federal court in De-
troit nearly five months ago
which held that there is no
legal limit to the amount of
union funds that can be spent
by the union officials in sup
port of candidates for Federal
Office. In this case the union
did not deny charges that its
funds had been spent as speci-
fled in the indictment. Never
theless, the court held that
there exists no law prohibiting
such spending on the part of
such special interest groups"
Strengthens LabOr's Hand
According to Senator Gold
water, this decision means a
great deal to the average vot-
ing citizen, but it especially
means a lot to labor union
members. For example, it
leaves the labor union bosses
with full power to expend for
political purposes as much
money as they please of the
dues paid by union members.
The fact that a minority of
these members oppose the
candidates and causes favored
by the bosses gives them no
rights at all. There is not a
thing they can do about it.
In 1850 many thousands of
union members in Ohio voted
to re-elect the late Senator
Taft. But their money was
used against him. For another
example, in 1852 something
like 40 per cent of the union
labor vote was for Mr.. Eisen-
hover; yet all the money
which the union bosses put
into that campaign was used
in behalf of Mr.. Stevenson
and the Democratic Party.
The new union merger of
AFL and CLIO controls the dues
money of more than is million
members in the country. Re-
cent statistics indicate that
the annual dues collected by
labor unions approximate $500
million. If only 10 per cent of
this sum is allocated to po-
litical purposes. it would
amount to $50 million annu-
ally. Does anyone suppose,
asks Senator Goldwater, that
the citizens of this country
would be able to resist the po-

A report that an American
notable was beng interfered

brought prompt denial from
sources in the Russian govern
ment SO years ago. The Star,
on July 2. 1906, reported in a
dispatch from st. Petersburg:
The report sent out by per-
sons in Berlin interested in

that William Jennings Bryan

visit to Russia, also that the

vent him from coming to study

theless pronounced absurd in
high quarters. Mr.. Bryan may
have been under police sur
vigilance to prevent anything
happening to him, just as any
distinguished traveller might
be closely and carefully
watched by the authorities,
but the idea that there was
ever the slightest intent to
interfere with Mr.. Bryan, his
travels or his studies, is simply
ridiculous. The Car knows
Mr.. Bryan by reason of his
former visits. and greatly adj

O'Connor added, however, in

Juvenile Delinquency Is Due To Lack
Of Early Training Addams Says

"The great fluidity of our popu-
lation has largely destroyed the
social influences of the neighbor-
hood. Here people make their living
in one section, live in another, and
have their social life in a third.
"The real crime problem begins
in neglected childhood. The wisdom
of the philosopher who said, Give
me the first 2 years Of a child's
life and / care not who may have
the rest is confirmed by Freud
who said educators must transfer
the main emphasis in education to
the earliest years in childhood -
The little human being is frequent
ly a finished product in his fourth
or fifth year and only gradually
reveals in later years what lies
buried in him.
"Hence the importance Of thor
ough system of religious education
in the community and participation
therein by every child. Unfortun-
ately in this community too many
parents do not cooperate in provid-
ing religious education for their
children nor do they set an example
for them. They do not contribute to
the church in a sufficient amount
to defray the cost of religious edu-
cation of their children nor do they
join the church where their children
are receiving religious training.

conscious parents assume the burd-

bearing their share of this expense" /"
