The New Frontier
re
(From the Flint, Mich., Journal)
Once upon a time the word pioneer meant the man or
woman who went out to the frontier, the wilderness, to settle
new land and pave the way for further colonization. There is
no such frontier in this country now and the modern pioneer
is one who explores in other directions.
_ We are an industrial, commercial and financial country
now and the pioneering is in other activities. . The: National
Association of Manufactuers recognizes that situation
through its new plan for prizes to outstandine inventors and
research workers which will be awarded in 1940, the year of
the 150th anniversary of the American Patent System.
‘The pioneer on the modern frontier,’ says the association, “of science and technology likewise ventures into the
unknown and conquers it. He pushes forward man’s knowledge of the useful arts and sciences and turns the new
knowledge into productive uses.”
That is what we want and need now.

Where The Buffalo Roam .
: _Herds of bison no longer go thundering across America’s
vast western plains as quarry for Indian huntsmen or frontier
sharpshooters.
Nevertheless, intelligent governmert conservation _ is
safeguarding these animals frém extinction, with the likeli_ hood that the shaggy-maned buffalo will survive in person
long after his likeness has disappeared from the five cent piece.
Evidence of this is found in the announcement from
Washington, D. C., putting up for sale the buffalo on the government’s western preserves, and not only buffalo, but elk
and mule deer. To prevent over-grazing on these lands, Uncle
Sam has placed some 300 of them on the market.
At a price ranging from $45 to $60 you can become the
owner of a buffalo, and for a price between $30 and $55, the
government will gladly part with an elk or mule deer.
We won't say these creatures make ideal Christmas gifts
for youngsters but at least those songsters who ask for “a
home where the buffalo roam” need no longer ask m vain. For

The Defense of Picton
In two significant decisions, the courts last week affirmed two basic tenets of American freedom.
; The United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia unanimously ruled that school children do not have to
salute the flag if such action conflicts with their religious conWictions. Extending the protective strength of the law to the
two children of a Minersville, Penn., grocer, the Federal court
declared the town's school board had no right to expel the
children from school.
In another decision which may have a far-reaching effect
‘ throughout the country, New York's Appellate Court upheld
the freedom of the highways in restraining a county from im_ Posing a toll on a section of a public highway which ran
through its territory. The court found no general grant of adoor powers which warranted the local imposition of
a toll.
That decision is important because freedom of the high
ways, which is essential to the welfare of this or any country,
has been seriously endangered in recent. years. Not only by
tolls, but by ports of entry and punitive taxes, whose only
effect has been to make states poorer instead of richer. These
actions have been chiefly aimed at motor transport in a misguided effort to protect older transportation interests instead
as interests. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is
thority for the statement that inter-state trade barriers, hiniconomic use of highway transportation, adds milreamy to the food bill of America’s consumers.

The freest of free thinkers must confess;
And sometimes when our torrid thoughts go wild,

I wonder if in the indiscreet use; or abuse of our liberties,
both inherent and acquired, lies the danger of their abridgement, perhaps ultimate loss.

days when first those words were spoken, there is no better

I wonder why Hitler closes colleges for three years only;
why not abolish them altogether? There are thinkers among
those youngsters who have been debarred from educational
advantages. Three years cannot reduce. them to the desired
stratum of ignorance and mental fhcapacity then too, some of
them will read and study surreptitiously—history, anthropology. philosophy, too, perhaps. They will know more when the
halls of learning reopen three years hence than they do now,
and it is not well for slaves to know more than their masters.

word is, in every respect as good as his bond.”
