Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON ——_—$_. Justice at Long Last The supreme court of the United States, after long] @eliberation, has decided Minnesota’s newspaper “gag” law to be unconstitutional, And thereby it strikes a new/ Dlow for freedom, not only of the press but of the peo-| ple and of the institutions which were built by our fore- fathers. y as complex as this, the people have little to learn for themselves what conditions with regard to any situation may be. They sce a stray bit of evidence here, an apparent injustice or infraction of| the accepted codes there, but they find it hard to piece the whole tozether. The average citizen may susvect that things are not what they should be but usually 1s} too busy to find out the facts for himself. It is true that this nation has occasionally been sub- ject to yellow journalism. Some newspapers hove mis- taken freedom for license and some have taken delight in muck-raking for the sake of stirring the mud. No one tecries the occasional outcroppings of this tendency more sincerely than the honest journalist, who appreciates that the fathers of this nation left a great trust in his keep- ing and, the keeping of his fellows. It is pot hard to determine why the principle of free- @om fom the press was incorporated as one of the fund-} amentais of the constitution. The framers of that! documeht knew that a republic such as ours is wholly dependant upon intelligence and knowledge in the rank and file. They knew the average citizen would have little chance of gaining the information necessary to make just and fair decisions in public matters if the press, the logical means of distributing information, were hampered or throttled. They knew that newspapers might pften find it necessary to expose the actions of public pfficials in the interest of the public good and they knew the temptation which would come to such persons, if vested with sufficient power, to suppress the instrument by which their malfeasance or misfeasance ‘was expdsed to public view. The Mfnnesota case gives apt illustration of the entire fal ‘The Saturday Press, on whose behalf the ap- peal was}taken to the highest court of the land, charged in 1927 that the municipal administration of Minneap- olis was Jhoneycombed with graft and that gambling was protected in the Mill City. Immediately a wail of righteous indignation went up from the accused officials. They were being woefully mistreated, they said. ‘They pleaded for protection against such calumny and the “gag” law, passed in 1925, was invoked. The Saturday Press was choked to death by a law which is now held to be contrary to the con- stitution, the ruling authority in this country. What the facts of the case were in 1927 cannot be said at this distance, but the whole world knows that Minneapolis has had a house-cleaning during the last two years. Several members of the city council were sent to prison for accepting bribes, The courts sald the Saturday Press was wrong in 1927, but reversed the verdict in 1930. A recent grand jury indicted numerous Minneapolis policemen for allegedly protecting gambling dives and houses of ill-fame. Only those who refuse to be con- vineed, will contend that there was no basis for this ection. Again, if the Saturday Press was wrong in 1927,! as the courts said it was, it was right in 1931. On the whole, Minnesota should profit because the Supreme court something which its own supreme THE from the rivers there were few terminals and those avail- able were so antiquated as to be quite unsuitable for modern methods of freight handling. In their places have grown up modern terminals, served by towboats and barges of the latest design, and wherever the chan- nel has been sufficiently deepened, the water ccmmercc is being handled on a regular time schedule. | A few days ago W. L. Richeson, president of the board | of commissioners of the port of New Orleans, predicted | that inside of two and a half years a stable channel will} be completed for the entire length of the Father of Waters and that most, if not all, the river cities will be provided with adequate terminal facilities, Such an improvement, he declared, will enable the manufacturers and agriculturists of the middle west to enjoy rates low enough to engage in foreign trade with their com- petitors throughout the world. American Farmers Face New Frontier In America’s pioneer days enterprising traders fur- nished the native Indians weapons with which to fight the white settlers. The settlers, in spite of this handicap, gained control of the vast expanses of rolling prairies and proceeded to supply the world markets with wheat. Now the battle line has shifted to a new frontier and our enterprising traders are supplying the Russian soviets with agricultural machinery with which they propose to win control of the world’s wheat market. As in the old- time battle of the frontier, the traders are furnishing supplies to whomsoever will buy, and now, as then, the brunt of the fight falls on the embattled farmers. Can the Russians, armed with American agricultural machinery and aided by American technicians, win such a contest? It looks very much that way, as they have everything in their favor. Soviet representatives at the London conference of wheat exporting nations have calmly announced that Russia's purpose is to dominate the wheat market. They will, of course, agree to curtailment—but the curtailment in wheat acreage must be made by the other nations! What Russia demands is the place she occupied before the World war in the matter of exportable wheat. Rus- sia at that time was the leading wheat exporting nation in the world. By developing the vast Russian steppes through the use of American machinery, and by impressing millions of farm hands at barely living wages, the soviet gov- ernment expects to win control of the wheat market by undersclling all the other wheat exporting nations, in- cluding the United States and Argentina, Nobody seems to question Russia's ability to do this, unless that coun- try should suffer an unforeseen setback in its gigantic BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JUNE The Prisoner’s Song! wih Gilbert Swan plan of mass production. The Russian challenge does not really mean as much to the American wheat grower as would at first appear. The fact is that our wheat farmers have never derived any benefits worth mentioning from the export market and now that this market is expected to be completely closed by Russian competition, our wheat farmers may be induced to turn their attention to diversification. Two factors at work in this country make the situ: tion look more hopeful. In the first place, many thou- sands of wheat farmers are changing to other lines of farming, thus curtailing the wheat acreage. In the second place, the American population is increasing rapidly and we are approaching the time when there will be no exportable surplus of grain. Another Indecisive Decision By a five to four decision the United States supreme court last week decided that Dr. Douglas Clyde Macin- tosh and Marie A. Bland were ineligible to citizen- ship because they would not take an oath to fight if necessary, for the United States. Mr. Macintosh is a jdivinity professor at Yale, and Miss Bland, a former war nurse, is a resident of New York City. Both are Cana- dians. The majority opinion, delivered by Justice Sutherland, was agreed to by Justices Butler, McReynolds, Van Devanter and Roberts. Chief Justice Hughes gave @: vigorous dissenting opinion and was joined in his stand by Justices Holmes, Brandeis and Stone. Justice Sutherland stated thet the question had al- ready been settled by the refusal of the court to allow Rosika Schwimmer, Hungarian writer, to become a citi- zen. He stressed the point that aliens seeking U. 8. citizenship should not be given the privilege of picking) and choosing their wars, as this is a right not accorded to the native born. Chief Justice Hughes said the cases hinged on the narrow point whether congress had exacted a promise to bear arms as a condition of its grant of naturaliza- tion. “That the congress has not made such an express. promise is apparent,” he said. “The question is whether that exaction is to be implied from certain general words which do not, as it seems to me, either literally, or his- torically, demand the implication.” The case is not of itself of fundamental importance, and its adjudication either way would not cause 60 much as a ripple of public disapproval throughout the court refused to do and which its legislature was - country; but ghe fact that it was settled by #-five to inept to do. The record made in this case by the supreme court of Minnesota, which twice rejected the newspaper's ap- peal, throws a very real shadow upon the honesty of that tribunal. To put it baldly, there is more than a hint of political subservience by Minnesota's highest judicial body. Granting that the federal supreme court is right, how could a body of honest and capable men, sitting as a state supreme court, be so wrong? The snswer may be that they were not too honest to heed the call of entrenched political grafters. An honest, fearless and unimpeachable judiciary is one} of the prime requisites to freedom in a Democracy such as ours. When it fails to function the entire warp and woof of justice becomes rotten. Voters of every state could do worse, on frequent occasion, than to peer into the workings of its judicial system. It is their duty as freemen under the constitution; the same constitution which was repeatedly flouted by the courts in the Min- nesota case involving the “gag” law. ‘He Can Make It His Baby’ In view of the enormous program of river improvement ndertaken by the government, it will probably be several years before an engineer is put on the job to channelize | he flew to Paris, reaching there in time to have dinner the upper Missouri river for purposes of navigation. When that time comes, however, we are assured that the man gssigned to the task will stay with it until it is finished. In the words of one of the generals of the army, “he can make it his baby.” This idea of making each engineer responsible for his own particular job is an fnnovation for which we are indebted to Hoover, the engineer president. Under the old order an army engineer could stay on ® certain project only three years. He was then ordered back to a command. He might be replaced by another engineer of equal ability, but one who had entirely dif- ferent ideas of procedure, and the result might spell elay and confusion. It usually did. ‘The country was well on the way toward a comprehen- sive scheme of river improvement when Hoover was elect- ed president, but the methods of the war department were quite unsuited to so great @ project. In accord with the wishes of the new chief executive the desired change ‘was made, and in the future one man will have chal of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence project, anotner lower Mississippi and still another the Ohio and its gums for improving that river and other streams Kerri cnr, sae Tt new era for inland waterway four vote brings it down to the level of a legislative | decision, which is not the kind of a decision the people feel they have a right to expect of the highest court, in the land.

Then New York, June 2—Snapshots of the sidewalks of New York: He is at least a foot or so taller than Charlie Chaplin. But that makes no difference to the sand- wich man. He wears the three im- Portant properties of the great comic —the shoes, the derby and the tiny black mustache, Tied to his back is a sign reading that Chaplin is to be seen at a cer- tain group of theaters in the most re- cent of his pictures, Round and round he shuffles in the big triangle they call Times Square. He stops to tilt his derby at passing children. And children, with their uncritical attitude, where clowns are concerned, pipe “Hello, Charley!” ‘What difference does it make tothem whether this be Charlie or not. It looks something like Charlie and it makes them laugh. The perambulating advertisement takes time out for a moment to rest against a building, tipping his derby profusely to all and sundry and twirl- ing his slender cane. Walking close to him, it's impos- sible to find a single feature that bears the slightest resemblance to Chaplin. Only his properties are there—mustache, cane, baggy pants, shoes and hat. “It’s been a long time since I put on a Chaplin act,” he confides. “Re- member when all over America the sidewalks were filled with imitators of Charlie? Sure I'm an actor—out of a job! Who isn't out of a job? Say, out on the sidewalks I've been everybody from Harry Lauder to Richard Dix.

Uncle Sam and the Gas Tax (Minneapolis Journal) In casting about for new sources of income with which to extinguish deficits, Secretary Andrew Mellon’s keen eye has lighted upon the gasoline tax. Accordingly, prob- ably just to test our public sentiment, he suggests & federal impost on the fluid fuel now so universally used. ‘This would be a federal invasion of a field of taxation that has been developed and occupied wholly by the states. Gasoline is now taxed in every state of the Union, and the income is almost entirely devoted to high- way improvement. The rate runs from two cents a gal- lon up to six, the average being a little under four cents. If Uncle Sam should now hold his hand out for an additional gas tax, it would be a gesture resented alike THIS CURIOUS WORLD OW, iving on Daily Health Service Sufficient Vitamins Are Easily Obtained By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the Medical Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magazine ‘Whenever a new discovery is made in medicine its commercial exploita- tion promptly follows. We are given as a nation to mass interests and to adopting promptly any new method of amusement, any new food product, or any new scientific discovery. Everyone can remember the tem- porary craze for mah jongg, cross- country walking, shaking machines for passive exercise, and ultra-violet rays in the home. Now the furore of interest and exploitation is associated with vitamins. Readers of this column have by this time realized that practically all natural food substances contain vita~ mins of one type or another, and that an average American diet con- sisting of varying quantities of a va- riety of food substances takes care of most of the vitamin needs of the population. There is no reason why most people should drink a quart of orange juice daily; no reason why they should take excessive quantities of cod liver oil or cod liver oil tablets; no reason why they should expose themselves to sunlight to the point of burning. Vitamin deficiency in any single case can only be discovered by a careful study of the diet and health of the individual. A hap-hazard tak- ing of great quantities of vitamin- containing foods with the hope of improving health generally may in- jure the very health that is trying to be conserved.

His letter said in part: “To provide officers for the drafted forces of the national army, the War Department has adopted the policy of commissioning new officers of the line (infantry, cavalry, field and coast artillery) purely on the basis of demonstrated ability, after three months’ observation and training in the officers’ training camps. “The present camps will provide Une officers sufficient in quality for the first 500,000 and a reserve for that increment. It is proposed to officer further increments raised under the draft by promotion from the ranks of the regular army, the National Guard, and drafted forces previously in service.” On this day General Von Hinden- burg announced that the French and British offensive had come to 3 defi- nite conclusion.

Aside from that I had no inkling as to how my work ap- peated to Owner Combs or Manager juckbee. And that guy, Sears, the other pitching rookie, led to have ken’ as much to as I had to him. He seemed to be forever trying to pick a quarrel, forever sneering and making cracks. To have lost my temper and slugged him would have ruined my chances, so I simply waited and did my best. By the time the training was a little more than half finished all but four of the rookies had been dro} They had returned to their various homes and I sure felt sorry for all of them, although most. of them had no right to make the try, they were so far from being good players.
