Prosecutor
Some fifteen years ago the
ciety of Sisters and Pierce v. Hill Military academy was ar-1
nea m in inp iinirpn ."srarpa ennromo rrn-f- affo.
.supreme court had ruled sustaining the constitutionality of
I the Oregon law against parochial schools; The federal su-
preme court declared the Oregon law unconstitutional; and!
thus was recorded a great victory for civil and religious lib
erty. The law was the product of the terrorism of ku klux
kian days. When it was held
What chance would the defendants in those cases have
had before a supreme court made up of Senator Blacks? Back
in August of 1926 the Mobile Register said that Black
. "backed by the klan, had a walkaway in his race for the sen
atorial nomination." Whether he was a member of the klan is
incidental : he was the beneficiary of its favor, and mounted
to high office with its aid.
That Black's mind follows the ku-klan manner of
thinking is evident from his performance in the senate. He
.,has been a prosecutor without scruple in the handling of ex-
; animations before his committee. The hearings of his lobby
investigating committee were conducted "in a manner which
is a combination of the tactics of the police court pettifogger
. with the blustering arrogance of Jeffreys."
It was Senator Black who violated the privacy of tele
grams in utter disregard of the constitutional guarantee of
freedom of the individual from unwarranted search and sei
zure. Not only did he ransack the telegraph company files on
matters relating to public utility legislation, he made a copy
; of the private telegram from Mr. Hearst to one of his editor
ial employes and turned it over to a member of congress, al
though it had no relation to utility legislation. Black connived
with the federal communications commission to get hold of
the telegrams ; and when appeal was taken to the courts the
court of appeals for .the District of Columbia said :
"The resolution adopted by the commission (F. C. C.) un
der which-its agents took possession ot the telegraph companies'
offices .and examined wholesale the thousands of private tele
graph messages received or dispatched therefrom over a period
of seven months for the purpose of securing for the Senate com
; mlttee knowledge of the contents of the messages, was without
authority at law and contrary to the very terms of the act under '
which the commission was constituted."
Yet the man who showed such contempt for the law and
the constitution, such disrespect of the traditional private
rights of individuals ; this man who vaulted from the position
of police judge to the United States senate, by the aid of the
ku klux klan, has been nominated for justice of the supreme
court of the United States.
Even his colleagues protest that he is unqualified to sit
on the bench as judge because he lacks the judicial tempera
ment; but because of traditional senatorial courtesy and su
pineness and political fear the senate will approve the nom-
mation and Black will step to the bench to sit in judgment on
the most important concerns of his fellow men.
It is not his political new dealism which is in question.
The appointment of a so-called liberal was a foregone conclu
sioru But there were plenty of others with a liberal viewpoint
who yet possess the judicial mind, the full grasp of legal
knowledge, and the intellectual capacity to discharge with
honor ant, distinction the off ice of justice who were passed
over that this Alabama politician might be rewarded and the
president's enemies spanked.
President Hoover appointed Benjamin Cardozo; but
Cardozo was a man with long experience on the New York
appellate court, a man widely recognized for his brilliant
mind and his catholic outlook on legal issues. Even from
conservatives who disagreed with his opinions there was no
complaint over Cardozo's selection, for his ability was ad
mitted. 1
The sponsorship of the court-packing bill did much to
destroy the hero-worship of . President Roosevelt. His unfor
tunate choice of Hugo Black for a supreme court judge adds
to the popular reaction against him. In all probability Black
will outlive Roosevelt and outlive the political spasms which
Tiow convulse the country. For years he will be there, wearing
his political label; and the people must submit to justice col
ored by his intemperate prejudices.
New York's Campaign '
, .. New, York city, long the stronghold of political corrup
tion, seems well on the road to reform. Mayor LaGuardia has
given it a clean, efficient administration, and will be the
nominee in all likelihood of the republican, fusion and Amer
ican laboE parties. The democratic opposition is split between
Sen. Copeland and Judge Mahoney.
; But the most encouraging late development in the New
York campaign is the candidacy of Thomas E. Dewey for dis
trict attorney of New York county. As special prosecutor
Dewey has made great strides in ridding the city of organized
vice and graft which flourished under Tammany favor until
the life of the city was brazenly corrupted. Dewey has yield
ed to heavy pressure of leading citizens of New York and con
sented to become a candidate for district attorney. This
means if he is elected, that Tammany will not be able to name
the assistants and deputies who do much of the work, and on
whose faithlessness Tammany relied in its political alliances
with graft and crime.
If New York is able to reelect a reform candidate the
cause of good government will have a stimulus all over the
country. The news might even reach Chicago.
The Oregonian suggests that the utility commissioner should Im
pose a fine or other, penalty on a disobedient trucking concern, and
not suspend its license. Without examining the law we may express
the view that the commissioner has no powers of levying a fine or
imposing a Jail sentence. His only form of punishment is the suspen
sion of the operator's license. That. It may be said, is the most effect
ive way ot correcting whatever evil the, concern was found guilty of.
The public will suffer slightly, because there are plenty of other
trucking outfits and rail lines to take care ot urgent transportation
needs. "-f" - .-.v -

When Senator

Nesmlth fought la
congress for a branch , ;
mint at The Dalles, Oregon:
.' -
(Continuing from yesterday:)
Senator Nesmlth here presented
a written statement o t e r the
signatures of his colleagues and
himself, that is. stated by U. S.
senators J. w. Nesmlth and b. f.
Harding and RepresentatiTa John
jt. oicoriuo or irrrsuu. - iw
statement rare facts tending to
show tha.., the estimate of a mil
lion dollars a month waa Tery
low for the product ot gold in
tte Pacific Northwest. It showed
that the principal occupation of
neoole in Idaho and eastern Ore-
gon and Washington was then
(1864V mining. It said the ter-
ritorv of Idaho until 18 months
before that date did not contain
an excess of 500 white people.
while a recent census by the
United States marshal showed
over 34,000. It said the number
to be accommodated by the pro
posed branch mint at The Dalles
was already at least 50,000; and
that the surface was so far only
scratched. It showed that three
men in six weeks, working only
with their own hands, had taken
out $180,000 in value of gold.
It reprinted extracts from
newEDaDera. The Journal of The
Dalles reported that the steam
boat Nez Perce Chief had ar
rived down river the evening be
fore publication with "the rich
est f reicht that any steamer on
the Columbia river ever bore;
that the Wells-Fargo express had
S3 5. 000:: onejjarty of six miners
had S150.600: another party of
six. $134,400: a party of two,
$57,600; one man, $28,000. And
manv. other miners on the boat
had full nokes or belts ot the
yellow metal.
S S
The section to be accommodat
ed by the proposed branch mint
at The Dalles, it was said, was
that extending "from the 42nd
to the 49 th parallels ot latitude,
and from the Pacific ocean to the
Rocky mountains, embracing an
area about eight times the size
of the great state of New York,
or about six times as large as
the New England states," and
that "throughout the length and
breadth of this vast region, with
the exceotion of but a few local
ities, both gold and silver
abounds in inexhaustible quan
tities."
The two last quoted statements
were from the speech of Senator
Nesmlth. and he went on to say:
"But a few short years since I
saw it an uninhabited wilderness,
except that portion occupied by
Indians . . . Today it contains
200.000 busy, enterprising, indus
trious and intelligent people.
forming a nucleus around which
millions will be found within a
few brief years. During the last
year its scattered and meagre
DODulation. with but a few con
veniences or facilities, and with
rude appliances, produced $15,-
000,000 in gold. This year that
nroduct will be more than treb
led." He added that In time the
production of precious metals in
this region would come to a bil
lion dollars a year. Further along
in his speech he said:
S
"One morning in the year
1848. Bennett and Marshall, two
individuals unknown to fame,
picked up some pieces of yellow
substance in Captain Sutter's
mUl race on the American river
near Coloma, California.
'"Those men. Quite as uncon
scious of the magnificent results
to flow from their discovery as
was Columbus when he first be
held the glimmering light upon
the shores of America, held in
their hands the. germ that was
to give a new Impetus , to the pro
gress of the world.
"What has resulted from the
discovery made by those two al
most unknown men, though it
has astonished and filled man
kind with amazement, is but the
precursor of what is to follow
when the vast mining regions of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
have their mining resources fully
developed. As yet nothing has
been accomplished upon the Pa
cific coast but a mere scratching
of the surface.
With machinery, capital, sys-
temized labor, and good roads af
fording facilities tor ingress and
egress, and the cheaper trans
portation of necessary supplies.
the production of gold and silver
will be increased a thousand fold,
and the nation will hare in its
own public domain, so rich in
precious metals, resources ample
for the liquidation of our public
debt, even if we should be com
pelled to battle with treason and
secession for another generation
to! come." (The "careful reader
will note that this speech, April
1, 1864, was delivered a year and
nine days before Lee surrendered
to Grant, and It waa five months
and 19 days before Nesmith's
great friends. Generals Sheridan
and Russell, won the battle ot
the Opequon, Which made the
road to Appomattox open and
straight at the cost of Russell's
life. On April 1, 1864, no one
was certain that the "battle with
treason and secession" might not
last for another generation. )-

Aa Inferior Appointment
The president's appointment
of Senator Black of Alabama to
the supreme court vacancy caused
by the retirement of Justice
Vandevanter indicates that wide
ly held suspicions of a presiden
tial desire to pack the court with
a sextette of ventriloquist's dum
mies was only too well founded.
For Black a sole distinction.
aside from having been a town
police judge and later a county
district attorney. Is that as a
senator he has been a consistent
yes man, doing what he is told
by the white house with never
an Independent stand of his
own. Clearly not of supreme
court calibre in ability he seems
to hare made the grade because
he was one man the president
felt would stand without hitch
ing. It is rather pitiful that ap
pointments to what has long
been internationally recognised
aa the greatest tribunal on earth
should descend to such a level
but if they must there is at
least this grain of comfort, that
they will come one at a time
and not in halt dozens, thanks
to successful resistance to the
court increase bills.
The Black appointment is.
however, an ominous warning
of what the country can expect
when It has a president who de
mands, not Judges, but subor
dinates on the bench of its high
est court.
Baker Democrat-Herald
The Creditor Holds the Sack
Through the mail this morning
we received iwo lime printed
slips which substantiates a con
tention we have before made.
The slips were notices to cred
itors in two bankruptcy cases.
One notified the creditors of a
bankrupt concern that the trus
tee after administering the estate
had a balance on hand tor the
creditors of $455.42 against
which the attorney tor the trus
tee had filed a petition to be al
lowed $75 for his services, the
attorney for the bankrupt a pe
tition for $150 and the attorney
for the petitioning creditors
$114. That makes a total of
$339 attorney fees asked, leav
ing a balance of $116.42 to dis
tribute among the creditors who
have claims amounting into the
thousands. They will get a few
cents on the dollar.
The other notice listed a resi
due on hand of $13,542.82
against . which attorney fees of
$1,250 ana ii.&oo are asxea.
And so it always roes. When
the bankrupt's estate is finally
settled and the trustee tees, the
court costs, the attorney fees
and other expenses paid, there
is so little left for the creditors
that it is hardly worth the trou
ble he has taken to file his
claim.
Some day there will be a de
mand for a bankrupt law which
will be written and administered
lor the benefit of the creditors.

-How strange are our thoughts.
We spend our every waking mo
ment in thinking about some
thing or other, but how many
times a day we say or hear 'I
can't think' or 'I can't remember'
or it slipped my mind.' Where
did this elusive thought go while
we were struggling to recapture
it? It comes back to us again lat
er, usually when we are not try
ing to find it. Should I ever meet
Professor Einstein I shall ask
him this question.'
This young woman may be sur
prised to find that a few of the
pearls she has dropped have been
picked up and preserved. I trust
she will not mind.
Secretly, Professor Einstein
having been mentioned, I once
had a thought about his theory
which I thought quite clarifying.
That was quite some time ago,
but it has not got back yet.
A good acrobatic act on a bill
of vaudeville is something, but an
outstanding - acrobatic act is
something else again, and an act
on the week-end vaudeville bill at
the State theatre, billed as "Dick.
Don and Dinah, the three mad
merry roughnecks," two lads and
a gal, waa worthy of being class
ed as outstanding. With acrobatic
acts so numerous as they are, it
follows naturally that one which
stands out is worth the mention
ing. To G.T.S., Salem: You may be
correct as to rhyming sea gull
with bugle, but it would seem to
put poetic license under a heavy
strain. Bugull not so good.
A man with a kind but wor
ried face says he is afraid that
Shirley Temple is on the way to
being in the talking pictures what
Mary Pickford was in the silents.
Why afraid?
