Here’sthe situation: The Smith Bill, amending the Wagner Labor Relations Act, was recently passed by a whopThe bill in . "Now Is The Time To Act of the Wagner Act and of the attitude of the board which administers it. For a long time, the public, the press, and a major labor organization, the American Federation of Labor, have all urged that the Act be changed to make it a fairer instru-ment for settling industrial disputes. But now a small group of inside schemers are seeking to thwart the popular will by bottling up the amendments in a Senatorial committee tangle. The proposed amendments won’t transform the Wagner Act overnight from a trouble-fomenting piece of legislation into a model of fairness, but they are an important step in the right direction. Plainly, our lawmakers ought to adopt these amendments now. a move that need not interfere with giving consideration to other substantial and sound changes. But the time to act on the Smith measure is NOW, and the need for immediate action is obvious. No other legislation now pending is more vital to national defense. Efficient and uninterrupted production is necessary to national defense, and the Wagner Act in its present form has definitely slowed down our country’s manufacturing machinery. It is to the interest of all Americans for Congress to amend the Wagner Act as promptly as possible—and upon such action a large measure of our national well-being and security depends!—Contributed. . _ Enough To Make You See Red ome A Justice of the New York State Supreme Court rules that it is not libelous to call an American a Communist. He points out that, while the Communist party “actually has its roots in foreign lands’’ and while its members ‘‘have potentially obligated themselves even to overthrow our government “under the existing law, may function as a political party.” The decision in question shows how extremely careful Americans are to preserve the democratic rights. which _ individuals and minority groups in this country enjoy. In the case of the Communists, indeed. we lean over backwards to insure protection for an organization that has no respect for . OKAY, BUT set CONVOY IT THIS TIME! Talburt, in the Washington Daily News. W ONDER-IM Se eet I wonder if to ravaged Flanders Field The poppies will come back again, And proudly lift their crimson cups To catch the cool refreshment of the rain; Indeed, indeed I know they'll come, For beauty lives when ugliness is dead, The crushed and broken flowers will bloom again Where now grim horror rears its hated head. I wonder why we do not all make gardens; there are so many things to learn from growing plants—shrubs, flowers, trailing vines and spreading trees. I’m sorry for the man who has no garden. There was a rose tree by the old stone wall; planted long ago, it grew and flourished through the years and bore annually a wealth of perfumed buds and blossoms; truly a thing of grace and beauty, a delight to every passerby. One dav a wanton fire crept to the old stone wall, flared ‘up madly and enveloped the rose tree in hot, consuming flames. When at length the red demon had been subdued, the rose stood shorn of all its springtime loveliness — a pitiful, wasted thing;. seared. and seemingly dead. With pruning shears and ax. the lone unsightly branches were cut away until nothine remained above the ground but a dry blackened stump; but now, under ground, strong roots and delicate fibers entered unon a period of intensified activity,*preparatory to the tasks before them. They spread out and drew needed nourishment from the warm. brown earth about them, and when again spring came to the land, sturdy shoots appeared upon the waiting stump; they grew with amazing rapidity, in and no understanding of the very principles which make its continued existence here possible. It may not be libelous at the present time to call a person in the United States a Communist—but it strikes us as beinz ‘about the most insulting “‘non-libelous’”” remark _ that possibly be addressed to an American citizen—Contributed. Military Training, . It is easy to favor the compulsory proposal, said the Hol:lywood Citizen-News, “‘yet before it is approved time should be taken for deliberation. Some people look upon compulsion in such matters as a violation of their fundamental liberties. But long ago we were taught that the liberties of the individual “must give way for the welfare of the whole country. To the individual, a year of training in an American camp can _ be made more valuable than a year in college. For the nation, a year of training for each of its youth can help to give us alla new understanding of our responsibilities i in upholding the privileges and blessings that-are ours. “The people of this denser ever have opposed the draft,” “points out the Calexico Chronicle; “likewise, they have ever _been cold to a large standing army, because of fears professed ‘by politicians of a military dictatorship. But can this nation afford to pit tradition against cold fact? At the earliest estimate, at least two years must elapse before this country is any_ where near ready to defend its vastness and its riches against a thunderbolt attack. The nation should accept any device to ‘ minimize risks.” \ ‘If we are going to survive in a world of force and violerice,”’ notes the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, ‘we, too, must have force of arms to protect ourselves. Any parent, no matter how he or she might grieve over sending a son away to war, would rather have that son adequately trained to defend himself than to send him untrained against legions of expert war_ Tiers.” F iu‘ntia ‘eesies’ Nevada County Photo Center PHONE 67 Portraits, Commercial Photography, _8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, Enlarging and Framing, Kodaks and Photo Supplies, Movie Cameras and Films could. ‘San Franciseo on January 9. due time. buds formed as of old and roses bloomed. The rose . tree had begun another cycle of existence which promised to . be more vigorous and beautiful than any it had hitherto en. joyed. ~ I once asked an eminent educator, why the blue California lupines bloomed so profusely upon burned over hillsides: he told me that many seeds refused to germinate until sub. jected to the influence of abnormal heat. And so, when the rubble under which they lie buried is burned away, they spring into life and cover marred and blackened ground with a concealing mantle of loveliness. Is there a Jesson in all this? I think so. Like the rose tree, the great tree of liberty, though seemingly destroyed, is still living; its sturdy roots have sunk deep into the soil of many a land which now lies helpless beneath the tyrant’s heel; and its seed, wind blown by fate, will germinate and spring into vivid life when the dread holocaust of war has passed. This we must believe. The wanton powers of Cones may for a time prevail, but the forces of resistance, the urge to survive, are stronger by far. No nation that has once been free, will long remain enslaved. After the fury of war is past, when the wasted earth has been freed from the dread machines of slaughter, when the mad beast of Berlin has been chained, the crushed and broken blossoms of human liberty and happiness, will spring again into. vigorous life, and grow more wonderful and_ luxuriant than ever before in the long history of man’s earthly existence. This is our sure hope, the long vision of the future, so may we realize. while in the midst of seeming calamity and defeat that somewhere a sunlit pathway lies ahead. ATTORNEY FILES . ": . CARDNER PAPERS Dwight B. Steele, Nevada City attorney, has filed a petition for letters of administration of the estate of Roy Gardner, train robber and ex-convict, who committed suicide in Jean Jenofsky of Napa. After his release from prison, Gardner bought the Frank Costa ranch near Nevada City. A short time after the purchase the ranch home was

BY CLEM WHITAKER that Senator Johnson, during his By CLEM WHITAKER California’s insurgent ‘‘son of battle’ the great irreconcilable, Senator Hiram W. Johnson — whom some forthcoming campaign for re-election will stay by his guns and vigorously denounce American participation in men have passionately loved, and. the war, either directly or indirectothers passionately hated, but whom] ly, although admitting that he no one has ever successfully disre-. would like to see the Allies win. garded—is shaking his shaggy head, again and. making ready for one, more tilt with the enemy! For Hiram, the grizzled gladiator, who has fought for peace with furious tenacity, there is mo _ peace. There is only battle. And during the months just ahead, the redoubtable Hiram may be in for the fight of-his lifetime— ! a fight to keep America out of Eu-} ropean embroilment, regardless of what his friends think, or his’ enemies say, and a fight, at the polls in California, to win vindieation and retain his seat in the United States Senate. It is an open secret that many of Senator Johnson’s. political advisors . ‘ believing that public sentiment favors unstricted aid to the Allies, have urged him to compromise with his convictions, for politics’ sake, and back away from his isolationist foreign policy. But his latest public declaration was an uncompromising pledge to “fight with all the strength I have left in my body’’ against attempts to repeal the Johnson Act, prohibiting credits to nations which have defaulted on their World War debts. In fact, Just how much capital Senator Johnson’s opponents will be able to make of his anti-war attitude during the approaching campaign is debatable—and partly dependent, probably, on future developments in the war situation and this country’s relation to it. Lieutenant Governor Ellis Patterson, one of the senatorial candidates, who started out denouncing President Roosevelt’s war _ policies and demanding a foreign policy of non-intervention, has recently turned a political Somersault and is now talking a better war than Mussolini. The political experts, however, place Patterson in the also-ran category, pointing to his fourth-rate showing in the presidential primary. John Anson Ford, Los Angeles candidate for Senator Johnson’s Senate seat, is considered more formidable, particularly in the southland. And Mr. Ford, according to his campaign managers, will campaign on a ‘“‘help the Aliies’’ platform. The betting odds, still favor the shaggy warrior for peace, Senator Johnson, not so much because of his policies, but because of the man. however, there is every indication THIS BUSINESS Ling o siasaion Oe THAYER Being Human Creatures When Wiiliamsburg, the capital city of the colony and dominion of Virginia from 1669 to 1779, was re-. health giving than the delicacies stored a few years ago, a collection. which heaped tables of the Governof recipes for foods served during! or’s Palace om the days of the great that period was compiled .and print-. balls.
