Now in the fsce of sn unparalleled emer gency, a world-wide unemployment which threatens with distress large numbers of our fellow citizens, we. tbe fsculty of this institution, cannot sit idly by in tbe security of assured employment and continued income In different to tbe necessity ef those for whom tbis institution exists, "In tbe- fsce of wide-spread euf ferlnr. if no other means were st United States Said Most Lawless Nation In World TRENTON. N. X. Not. W.W) Federsl Judge George M.

Tbe criticisms were penned In find ing eight men gulltv of Honor law violations. Judge Bourquln hss been sitting bare to help clesr a crowded docket. If America Is the most rrlminsl country of the earth snd It Is if the lsws are moat poorly enforced.

"It must be remembered not the In- nocent but the guilty complain of of flelsl efficiency. Never are the gulltv sstlsfled with official methods, which nnmssk snd bring them to account. So often the strategy of the guilty Is to divert attention from themselves by putting the offlcera on trial.

But now, constantly and vociferously, does old John Invoke and demand ita vindication In his behalf." "It was designed to bs a shield of defense for the innocent; old John hss converted It to a spesr of aggres sion for the guilty. And tbe amount of Judicial aanction bis arrogance has received, Is one of the most shock ing snd alarming developments of the prohibition experiment. , 4)" "O" Not Burned By State Supporters Rumors circulated about Eugeae Friday that the blc Oregon "0" bonfire had been burned som stirs e Thursday night by Oregon State adherents were proven to be noth ing but rumors when It waa dis covered that the newly built "0" was still Intact.
