Time to Call a Halt
A ND no the pendulum swings, back and forth. At the moment
it ia apparently ".winging against organized labor, where
as for quite a period, it swung, in the opposite direction.
At hag been indicated in this column, we favor the present
direction. Organized labor, was getting dangerously near the
breaking point, and in its own interest and the interest of the
country, the time had arrived to call a halt.
But at the present moment we don't like certain signs and
omens. "We want fair play and justice, for capital as well as la
bor, we don't want more or less, than that for either. '
But if present tendencies continue, we see the danger of cer
tain labor hot heads being kicked out, and replaced by hot
heads from the other camp. This will be jumping from the fry
ing pan into the fire. It will be taking another step in the same
direction we just departed from and that every right thinking
American wishes to avoid, the direction of a Fascist dictator
ship. But . . ,
"IT can't harpen here!"
We wonder how many of our subscribers read that book
by Sinclair Lewis. It promises to become the most significant
and prophetio volume published since Uncle Tora'a Cabin, if the
present handwriting on the wall, isn't speedily rubbed out.
For what COULDN'T happen here, boys and girls, is now
HAPPENING 1
Read over the preliminary murmuring in the Lewis opus,
and then note the recent press dispatches from Michigan, Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
Vigilante groups are being formed, throughout the strike
areas. German Fascists, are drilling and quietly gathering re.
emits, for a march on Washington
of New Germany" to demand the repeal of the Wagner act. An
appeal has been sent out for American Legion help- in smash
ing picket lines. A revival of the
in name, is demanded.
IN short the dragon's teeth are being sown, precisely as Sin
clair Lewis predicted, and, unless sane and restrained coun
sels soon prevail, only a miracle can prevent the inevitable and
tragio harvest.
Once more the crying need is courageous and judicious lead
ership. And once more we feel, President Roosevelt should sup
ply it.
WE went too far in one direction. Now let's not make the
fatal mistake of going too far in the other.
Once let this vigilante spirit grow and spread, unchecked,
and the entire nation will be perched, on a keg of dynamite,
with a short fuse spluttering to the final blow up.
The President could stop it in 24 hours, by one radio speech,
calling a spade a spade, and merely leing definite, instead of
vague, as he was in his, "a plague on both your houses," state
ment to his press conference.
By all means a plague on BOTH their houses, those who
are working toward a labor dictatorship on one side, those who
are working toward a Fascist dictatorship on the other. But
let's be EXPLICIT! Let the dangers be clearly pointed out; the
hot heads and troublo makers on both sides, told to either get
off the reservation or jump in the lake.
That would clear the atmosphere at once, and reduce Uncle
Sam's blood pressure by at least 50 per cent.
As before stated it should be done, and the President is the
only man who can do it I
Keep Them Out
""pilIS isn't a timely subject. That is one reason we are bring-
ing it up.
If it were timely, we could he accused of picking on some
particular street carnival, which had just appeared here, or had
just gone.
That would put us in a false position, for we are not
against any certain carnival, but ALL of them. We believe the
street carnival business has become a racket, and a bad one.
They are little more than a collection of organized "gyp joints,"
operated on the principle that, a sucker is born every minute,
and none should be given a break.
At best they are a bore, and at worst they are a "front" for
a bunch of itinerant tin-horn gamblers, and antiquated strip
tease molls, to get in their dirty work. They take thousands of
dollars out of a community, and leave nothing but a headache
and worse.
THEY are particularly insidious when they hold out the lure
of profits to secure the sponsorship of some reputable
local organization, and then with this as a smoke screen, go the
limit and beyond.
Wo would like to see the local license for street carnivals
placed so high, thnt none of them cnuM afford to stop. They
have been tolerated as legitimate entertainment which they
aren't, long enough.
If they want to do business in this community let them come
clean, and give evidence of reasonable honesty and decency,
FIRST. But in view of their record for many years, this evi
dence should be supported by proper affidavit, and the posting
of a sizeable bond as a forfeit I

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Chronic Lead Poisoning.
Sometime ago you described a sim
ple skin test for chronic lesd pois
oning, but my druggist could not
get one of the Ingredients. (R. E.)
Answer Paint the well-washed
skin with a solution of one dram
(teaapoonful) of sodium sulphide In
one-half ounce (tablespoonful) of
water. If an excess of lead la being
excreted (as In chronic lead poison
ing) the patch turns black In ft few
houra. This la not very accurate but
gives a clue worth following. Stand

poisoning in Infants and young chil
dren, suggested this skin test.
Help! Dentorl
Could my upper front teeth be re
placed by anything except bridge
work? I do not care for brldgework.
(Mrs. J. H.)
Answer Yes, good dentors today
can replace teeth with several differ

But why ask me ft question like that?
Haven't you a dentor In your town?
Rheumatic Fever.
How long does rheumatic fever
usually last? Is It necessary to re
main In bed while blood tesU are
taken? (Mrn. J. B.)
Answer Three to eight weeks. It
Is necesssry to remain In bed until
all fever haa gone, for If the patient
Is allowed to get up there Is greater
danger of Involvement of the heart
lining and consequent damage to
heart valves. .

I.NTO a world already troubled sore

and fear Is projected a new war scare.
The Japs and the Russians are mak

that from a half to two-thlrda of A
million men Are under anna In the

Armies of that sine don't Just
HAPPEN to be standing around when
nations start making faces at each

HPHE situation seems even more
grave when the cause of the face
making la considered.
The shoo tin started (nobody knows
yet which side started It, as each
claims the other did) over a few
muddy Islands In the Amur - river.
What does Russia, which sprawls over
half a continent, care for Another
Island or so? What, for that matter.
doea Japan, land-hungry though arte
la, want wltb a few strategically un
important specks of land In the roily

All theae islands can amount to Is
