The Pied Piper had en-tered into a contract to rid the city of rats. When the burgers saw how easily. and how thoroughly he did it,,with his, penny whistle, they flatly: refused to. pay the large ‘gum which thay ‘had confidently expected he would fail to earn. So the whole city -was punished hecause the-board of trustees refused to keep. their. word Biven a ragged, motley piper. ; ne There are’ many people who say these days: . “Our children will ae have to look out for themselves in the futuré the same as you and I ofthis. generation. must look out for ourselves.”.This. kind of rea“soning, this careless disregard of the obligations. that we ‘inherit from-our’ fathers'who did look out “for our future, ought to be stingingly rebuked. For just as surely as our, fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers fought the battle for liberty, for the abolition of. slavery, and for establishment for their right to sail the seas without hindrance, just so it is the duty of the elders of this generation to _ gee to it that liberty is preserved . for our children, The menace to that liberty comes today both from within and without the nation. Within the nation we note that eongress delegates its powers to the President, that the President re-assigns these powers to such men as Harry Hopkins, a_ large coterie of well intensioned gentlemen, named Henderson, Knudson, Hillman, Davis, and officers of the cabinet who also receive added powers delegated by the President from his largess off power. The ‘direction of the defense effort, indeed, derives from a hodgepodge of powers delegated by the President. Young sprigs hired: by Secretary Ickes, hold a hearing on the control of the California oil industry in San Francisco. They are abysmally ignorant of the develonvment of the state’s oil resources, the methods of its production, refining, and distribution. But they have great authority and they exercise it with all the aplomb of Emperor Jones in one of O’Neill‘s early plays. Their decision will touch the lives of every man, woman and child in California. They can cost the state millions of dollars, because a lazy demagogic majority in congress finds it easier to delegate its powers’ than exercise them. These powers dished out from the throne fall finally into the hands of visionaries and incompetents, friends of a friend of the President. This spawning bureaucracy clothed with authority, meddling in the intricate social! and economic ‘fabric of the country, has its hands on our ¢hildren’s freedom. Of the two perils menacing the future of our children, we hold that peril. most dire which springs from within. We realize of course, that when citizens permit their representative in congress to delegate their powers to a President, who in turn delegates them to someone else, that the _ citizens themselves are at fault. The threat from the outside is so obvious that all can see, and we do the obvious things to avert the peril. But this internal worm that bores into the very core of our national life, few can see until the entire apple decays, These are some of the reflections on seeing the procession of the children in the celebration of the Fourth Friday. We hope that charming and beautiful series of vignettes, pictured by bright, living youngsters in the parade of Independence Day will give all the older folks who saw it, cause to think sharply of the world which we shall presently bequeath them. Let us keep the faith of our fathers, for these, our children. BY AMELIO ANGIOLINI FALLS TO EARTH Indian Campoodie. Hospital in Grass Valley. The engine was driven front cockpit, where Sandon sat.
