30 days before the Hanncgan

about the frog who apologized

Gov. Dewey, the GOP presi
dential choice, is now striving
to keep "peace out of politics."
This is a noteworthy objective,
win, lose, or draw. It can be
accomplished best by keeping
the politicians out of the peace
conference. It now looks like,
from Washington, everybody In
the "solid south", who never
voted republican will be there
in sufficient numbers to btneken
the sun. Nothing this side of
General I'atton's tunk army
could keep them out. It will be
all they can do to keep H. Hop
kins, tho deputy president,
away. The generals fight the
and should write the peace
terms.

5. P. Assails Dept. of Justice
We are in receipt of a long-winded article from the
Southern Pacific Press Bureau moaning and groaning
over the suit brought against it by the U. S. Dept. of
Justice. The suit, as has been reported, would compel
the S. P. to restore through service over the "Shasta
line" as per the railroad's original pledge to the gov
ernment in return for valuable federal gifts of thou
sands of acres of land.
("THERE is no attempt in
charges filed against the railroad, legal or moral,
but close to a thousand words are used to construct a
smoke screen behind which the S. P. again wallows in
an orgy of self-glorification over its "amazing war
service," and has the unmitigated crust'to maintain,
that for the Department of Justice to bring a suit
against it, or any other railroad, at this time, is. im
proper and unpatriotic.
If the President of the
way, in fact the sacroscant
of the country would be
pledges and contracts and laws they might wish, as
long as the war lasts, and not be called to account un
til after it is over!
What childish nonsense !
"THE Southern Pacific is guilty as charged or it isn t.
If it is, then it should be forced to correct the
wrong and make amends at once. If it isn't, then that
is that, the matter can be forgotten as far as federal
law is concerned, and efforts to get decent railroad
service here in Southern
through other channels.
DUT the idea that because a war is on, the courts,
federal and otherwise, must declare a moratorium,
shut up shop and do nothing about law violations un
til the war is over, is one of the most bizarre and ex
traordinary proposals ever
Big Business litigation.
Does the S. P. think it is
in war service? Or that it is the only large and rich
corporation concentrating at this critical time on vital
war tasks?
One might think so from
argument.
For surely even the S. P.
ALL businesses, large and
war effort, should be free
or not observe th&m, obey the law, or not obey the law,
as long as they please as long as the war lasts. Yet if
such a procedure is right for the S. P. it would be right
for American business as a whole.
AS a matter of fact, as a result of the war, through
service on the Shasta line is, and has been, needed
more than ever before in the history of this section of
the state. Few things, indeed, would contribute more
to Southern Oregon's maximum war effort or morale
than to have the sort of train service the Southern
Pacific promised originally to give, but broke the
promise.
AN the federal courts secure it?
That is the question. And it is one which can't
be and should not be tried out in the newspapers,
but in the aforesaid courts.
The idea that such a trial
Southern Pacific's war effort is about as silly as the
other contentions in this ponderous opus.
1 he b. r. has at least a hundred high-priced lawyers
on its payroll who do nothing but attend to such mat
ters, and the case will merely mean they will have to
work instead of loafing
per diems.
The men who are ACTUALLY runniner the trains
and doing the war job won't be needed at this trial,
for the case has absolutely nothing to do with the war
effort, but is concerned solely with whether the moral
pledge and obligation of the Southern Pacific to give
through service in Southern Oregon is also a LEGAL
one.
That is all. Obviously
President and directors of the S. P., or the people of
this community, must decide it.

The charges center about the
little fingerprint of De Marigny
which Barker swore he found on
the screen that stood beside Sir
Harry's bed. There seemed lit
tle doubt that the fingerprint be
longed to the 32-year-old French
count, but Barker's accusers in
sist that it couldn't have been
taken from the screen because
the print has a different back
ground. Keeler and O'Neil, who were
the principal defense witnesses
at the De Marigny trial, brought
photos with them of all the prin
cipal scenes of the murder, and
it was expected that the entire
trial would be re-enacted at the
hearings against Barker.
The results of the hearings are
expected to be of grave import
to future identification of sus
pects by police and the admis
sion of fingerprints as evidence
at trials.
Barker faces censure or ex

it is found that he acted in an
unethical manner in presenting
the De Marigny fingerprint at
the trial.
