FREE IS FREE
The>‘e is an old proverb to the effect that if you give
a calf sufficient rope he will hang himself.
Since taking his scat in Congress Arthur M. Free,
for reasons best known to himself, has been an arch
enemy of Alaska.
But it remains for California to give Alaska its re
venge while at the same time settling a score of their
own. Says the San Francisco Examiner:
“Rep. Arthur M. Free, California ‘lame duck/ will
never learn. He ran true to form in voting against the
18th amendment repeal.
“Free was repudiated by his constituents whose
wishes he flouted.All five counties united in driv
ing him from office by a vote of more than 61,000 for
Judge John J. McGrath to about 46,000 for Free.
“Free lias consistently misrepresented his district,
not only on the prohibition but on other questions.”
A WAY OUT
As a last resort of the John Bunyan’s of the pro-1
hibition hophead brigade efforts will be made to prevent j
state legislatures calling conventions for ratification of i
the Eighteenth amendment.
It will be interesting to watch the reaction to this
despotism.
We have hanger-marchers and veteran marchers,
organized more for demonstration than for hope of se
curing the things sought. These are but symptoms of
what is afflicting the people of the nation as a result of
betrayal by their politicians.
Since the word “Democracy” means the people, and
democratic people being supposed to have ability to di
rect their own affairs, there is nothing in the way of
those who wish to carry this power back to the people
ignoring legislatures and, like the founders of the Re
public, resort to the old meeting house method of ac
complishing their desires.
Something must be done to impress upon the man
elected to represent the people that he is a servant and
not a master, and that dereliction in duty shall be treated
as would be any other criminal. If he gains his office
under false pretences it as iniquitous as robbing a
man of his goods by the same method .
Once tins idea sinks home we will have better gov
ernment.
A HICK TOWN
A “hick” town is defined by the Trenton, 0., Repub
lican-Times, as one “where folks know all the news be
fore the weekly papei comes out, but merely take it to
see whether or not the editor got the stories according
to the way they heard them.” Which causes another to,
lemark: ‘The Times is wrong. A hick town doesn’t have j
a newspaper.” Botn are wrong: A hick town is one J
where everyone expects the newspaper to do all things
looking to its progress, especially by those who say they
“can’t afford to advertise because of hard-times (?)”
and non subscribers; and it is this class who are any
papers’ severest eriticizers if real progressive ideas are
printed.
Now if someone will only figure out a way to take
the whistle out of false teeth.
A Wisconsin farmland association has petitioned
Congress to reduce the salaries of employees of a Feder
al farm loan bank to the proportion of a farmer’s in
come. In other words the bankers should owe the gov
ernment money.
The National Association of Wooden Box Manu
facturers announce that legalizing beer will call for the
disbursement of between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000 in
materials and vagts in manufacturing boxes.
Each one of us is designed by Nature for the part
we play.
The railroads threaten to throw themselves onto
the government. There should not be haste. There
might be something left in the treasury to haul home.
Depressions have a habit of synchronizing with over
production of suckers.
It develops that the mishap to the northbound train
Sunday was due to the overplus of tonnage due to the
presence aboard of the Democratic central committee
and bosoms swollen with pride at having held a session
without a single fight.
