Today Again the Fourth. All Unequal Mr. Justice Brandeis. 8,000,000 Little Pigs By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Fourth of July once more. One hundred and forty-eight years ago we decided that men must be free and equal, and this country inde pendent of England. Some are free, some not. All are different, not one the exact equal of any other, or even will be. Men are not even equal before the law. If you doubt it, sue a millionaire for $1,000. It will cost you more than $1,000 to recover. Self-government means 112, 000,000 cheering, while a handful decide what and who shall be cheered. There is progress, mar velous, bewildering. But it is in machinery, not in brains. The average intelligence in the United States is far below the average among the free citizens of Athens 3.000 years ago. Men have conquered steam, elec tricity, air, water. They have ex plored the atom, taken it apart, weighed the sun, moon and stars. But they haven’t conquered them selves, haven’t managed to stop fighting and cutting each other’s throats. Those who pay $1,000,000 to see two thugs fight in the prize ring wouldn’t cross a street to see the greatest work of art. One printing press turns out 10.000 books in a day. But the biggest salesmen of serious books say truly, “If I put a $50 bill in the middle of a really fine book, I could come around in 10 years and find it. They buy them but don’t read them.” However, there is progress. The country can be free when ever it chooses to think about it. It can abolish “taxation without representation,” through monopoly if it wants to. Progress is slow, even after you have written your declaration of independence. The slowest of all progress goes inside that tight box, the human skull. It is suggested that Justice Bran deis run as vice president with La Follette. That he would add great strength to the La Follette ticket is certain, and it is desirable for a sincere independent • movement to poll a big vote. But it would be a calamity if anything should persuade Justice Brandeis to leave the supreme court. With Justice Holmes, and some others, he represents on the supreme bench emphatically the theory that the constitution has written to protect human beings as well as dollars. He is needed where he is. “The spring crop of pigs is short by S.000,000 in the com belt.” What becomes of the “conscious SKIN INFECTION CLEARED IN LESS THAN WEEK!

Are they suspended somewhere in eternity, waiting for a chance to lick up their little legs in the corn belt and eat good corn, previ ous to having their throats cut? If they could think at all, what would they say of a system that brings them into the world to eat corn for a little while and then be eaten by their “superiors,” a sys tem that keeps 8,000,000 of them out of the world when the price of corn happens to go up? What is the exact difference between 8, 000,000 pigs, and the same number of humans? Dr. Graves, president of the New York State university, says “if a woman is good, she will be clever. Intelligence is the ally of good morals; fine minds nearly always denote fine characters.” All history says the same. Pub lic school education, increase in average intelligence, is responsible for the diminishing belief in a ma terial hell, filled with hot fire, in habitated by demons, sticking pitch forks into writhing human beings. Where you have low intelligence you need such a hell to keep people from murdering and robbing each other. Intelligence, “ally of morals,” makes it unnecessary to preach eternal punishment, so brutal and cruel as to be unworthy of the most horrible of all con ceivable demons. A capable American architect says the dome of St. Peter in Rome, is in danger. It weighs 1,000,000 tons and “must fall eventually, un less serious faults are remedied.” Don’t blame this on Michael An gelo. architect of St. Peter. When the building was going on Michael Angelo complained to the pope that contractors were furnish ing inferior materials, (there were dishonest contractors even in those days) protesting that he, Michael Angelo, would make nothing from the building of that church, except “the benefit to his soul.” May no earthquake shake the ground beneath the cathedral be fore the dome is strengthened. A slight quake might bring down the huge cupola, creating irreparable damage. r Mr. Crabtree, secretary of the National Educational association, says “big interests, tax dodgers and an arrogant aristocracy,” seek to check public school development That’s interesting, especially to those that didn’t know we had any “aristocracy,” arrogant or other wise. However, if the people allow their public schools to fall behind they have themselves to blame. They have the taxing power, with no strings or limits to it. If they don’t know enough to use their power, that isn’t the fault of any “arrogant aristocracy.” The treasury surplus is above the estimate. It’s $500,000,000 in stead of $325,000,000.

GERMAN REDBOMB PLOT UNEARTHED By Vnlvcrsul Service. Berlin, July 4. — A sensation has been created in Germany following raids by the police on caucus looms of tho communists in the relchetag and Prussian diet. They confiscated a large number of parts for hand grenades and bombs. Numerous doc uments which are believed to contain plans for the projected communist uprising in September also were seized. These discoveries are connected with the finding of other Inflammatory literature in various parts of Ger many. Police are searching the docu ments for clues to a reported con spiracy against the lives of prominent politicians. The communists Immediately lodg ed vigorous protests and demanded return of the confiscated material.

By Amocintcd I'rrm. Cleveland, O., July 4.—Extolling Senator Robert M. La Follette after ridiculing the republican party, scorning the democratic organization and fiercely denouncing communists, William H. Johnston, head of the Machinists International union and chairman of the conference for pro gressive political action, today struck the keynote of the convention of the latter organization at Its opening here. Independence in politics rather than a "third party" movement was emphasized as expedient. Senator La Follete was hailed aB "the tribune of the American people, their greatest spokesman and their most loyal defender." The recent republican national convention wa3 referred to as "a life less gathering of political puppets"’ the democratic convention as "a dis orderly mob meeting, which respond ed to boss control quite obediently In its voting," and the communists as "tools of reaction, who are con stantly striving to destroy the Ameri can labor movement and create chaos In the ranks of the progesslves.” Program Broad. Mr. Johnston claimed the present convention represents 6,000,000 citi zens and he said its program was broad enough to Include the best In terests of wage eurners, farmers, salaried employes, professional men and "independent” bankers, manufac turers und merchants. He said In part: "We have gathered on this 148th anniversary of the declaration of In dependence for action to secure those rights for which 'governments are In stituted among men, deriving their just powers from the conseut of the governed.’ ’.'When that Immortal declaration of the rights of man was proclaimed our forefathers were engaged in a struggle to establish political freedom. Today the people of the United States are engaged in a contest to achlevs for themselves and their children, the equally great blessings of economic freedom. “There is no economic freedom, no equality of economy open In the United States today for any great group of its common people. Farm Prosperity Deflated. "American farmers see their pros perity wantonly deflated by a finan cial conspiracy and find themselves obliged to sell their products In a world market, while the trusts and monopolies from which they must buy are artificially protected by the highest tariff wall in American history. “The employes of the steel trust, the copper trust, the woolen trust and the hundreds of other great combina tions must accept employment on such terms ns Gary, Ryan, Wood and the other industrial magnates offer, or risk unemployment and starvation. "The independent manufacturer must buy and sell In a trust-controlled market and is suffered to exist only on condition that he does not engage in active and effective competition. "The small merchant finds his wholesale and retail prices fixed by trusts and combinations, while he, himself, ig being slowly but surely forced out of business. Small Banker Threatened. "The independent banker is per mitted to participate in the sale of bonds and the financing of new en terprises only by the grace of the great banking syndicates while he already sees his early extinction by resistless competition from the branches of the great centralized fl nanclal institutions. We may not know it, but we are all In the same boat." Mr Johnston recited the history of the progressive movement, pointing to political victories In the congres sional elections of 1922 and the fact that the progressives held the balance of power In the last session of con gress as proof that It was wise not to launch a third party in 1922. "In mobilizing our army of prog ress," he said, "it has been necessary to be forever vigilant against trait ors. 8o far we have successfully ex cluded boodlers, bosses, exploiters, profiteers and prejudice-blinded fana tics. We have also kept out those communist tools of reaction who, masking as federated farmerlabqf lies, trade union educational leaguers or under even moro attractive deslg nations, are constantly striving to de stroy the American labor movement and create chaos In the ranks of the progressives," Assails Major Tartles. Mr. Johnston said the republicans "with appropriate stupidity." hnd nominated two reactionaries on "a platform of meaningless platitudes” He assorted the democratic party had "again proved the fitness of Its em Mem, the patient donkey" by strad dling its platform on such questions as child iHtior, league of nations and Ku Klux Klan and added that both major parties had consistently broken their platform pledges when In power, The chairman dennounced the fed eral reserve system order In 1920 re strlctlng loans for carrying crops. He said It forced farmers to throw all accumulated produce upon the market anil caused great price smashing. "It was shrewdly calculated," he said, "that the prostrate farmers would dctnnnd that labor also be hum me red down into poverty and kelp leanness, but among the great mass of farmers a different reaction was produced. They saw that Industrial workers and farmers had one com mon set of enemies." Mr. Johnston declared the time ripe for national action, "We do not lark strength, we do not lack organisation and, above nil. wo do not lack leadership," he said. Names I* Follette Lender. "We have a leader—that like long, faithful servant of the people, whose characters ability and record as a con M-rvatlve statesman entitle him to take his place with Washington, Jef ferson and Lincoln. His name Is already on your lips, his service In your hearts, his vision In your souls —Robert Jd. Lu Follette of Wisconsin. ' “We need not ask him for pledges or promises. His entile life Is a pledge of service to the highest ideals and the loftiest aspirations of gen uine democracy. He has been tried in all the fire that hatred, envy and fear could breathe upon him and has come forth untarnished, unscathed and undaunted.” Mr. Johnston extolled Senator La Follette as a force for Internationa] peace, declaring he would be trusted by “the progressive forces that now control France and England." "Robert M. La Follette and Ram say MacDonald would voice the de sire of the common people of the world for peace and for the end of Imperialist aggression in every part of the world,” he said. “We want no more wars.” Progressives In Congress. He urged his hearers to strive for the election of genuine progressives in both houses of congress as well as a president and vice president. “There is no obstacle," he declared, “to prevent our supporting independ ent candidates for president and vice president while we are engaged in re electing our progressive friends to congress, regardless of whether they are on the republican, democratic, socialist or farmer-labor tickets.” Burgess Bedtime Stories i - _/ By THORNTON W. BURGESS Dlrputea are foolish and In vain. The greatest when the least to vain. —Old Mother Nature A Dispute in the Green Forest Chatterer the Red Squirrel started the dispute. Chatterer is always start ing disputes. There is nothing he en joys more than a dispute. You know he la forever quarreling with some one. But this time without meaning to, he started a dispute in which every one in the Green Forest took sides. It happened one day that Chat terer found one of Prickly Porky’s children up In a favorite tree of his. He had at once started scolding and calling that young Porcupine every bad name he could think of. But Chatterer soon found that he was wasting his breath. That young Porcupine paid no more attention to Chatterer than if he wasn't there at "IMd you ever In your life see such independence?” barked Chatterer all. Nothing that Chatterer could say seemed to provoke him In the least. It was Just as If he didn't hear. He simply went on about hls own busi ness, which, as usual, consisted of filling hla stomach. Blacky the Crow heard Chatterer and came over to see what was going on. "Did you ever In your life see such Independence?" barked Chatter er. "Brickly Porky and hls family are the most Independent people In all the Great World. There Is such a thing as being too Independent." "True enough, Chatterer, true en ough." replied Blacky. "But you are mixtaken in saying that they are the most Independent people In all the Great World. There is another family even more Independent." "Who?" demanded Chatterer. "The Skunk family," retorted Blacky. It was right then that the dispute started. Chatterer insisted that the Porcupines were more lndejiendent than the Skunks. Blacky Insisted that the Skunks were better armed and therefore more Independent than the Porcupines. Sammy Jay sided with hls cousin Blacky. Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel agreed with hls cousin Chatterer. And I guess It was about ths first thing In which these two cousins ever had agreed. All the rest of the people of the Green Forest took sides. They dis puted and disputed and disputed. Chatterer pointed out that even great big Buster Bear took pains never to bother one of the Porcupine family. Blacky the Crow retorted that more than once he had seen Buster Bear step aside and politely give way to Jimmy Skunk when they had chanced to meet. The dlsupte became so great that it was almost Impossible for two of the Green Forest to meet without arguing and arguing about this ques tion of Independence. Chatterer and those who agreed with him seemed to have a little the best of It when It be came known that Booty the Owl had more than once had n dinner of young Skunks. Booty, swooping on silent wings, had caught the young Skunks before they knew that ho wne even ahout. They had had no chance to use their little scent guns. Booty admit ted that he wouldn't even think of trying to catch a young Porcupine. Bo for a while these who believed that the Porcupines were the most Independent people In all the Great World seemed to have the best of It. Then something happened that quite upset them.

Coolidge Urges Higher Standard for Education President Tells Teachers Com pulsory Schooling, Controll ed hy Federal Govern ment; Ignors Politics. Washington, July 4.—Compulsory education, if necessary controlled and supported hy the states under the guidance of the federal government, was advocated today by President Coolidge, speaking before 15,000 dele gates of the National Education asso ciation at the concluding session of their annual convention. The administration has proposed in the government reorganization plan a department of education and relief to be presided over by a cabinet officer, the president reminded the teachers In references to their demand for a cabinet member on education. This plan, however, had his endorsement, he added, "hearing in mind that this does not mean any interference with the local control and dignity, but is rather an attempt to recognize the im portance of educational effort." Refraining from any discussion of the political situation, Mr. Coolidge emphasized the importance of educa tion in America and lauded the teach ing profession, saying the teachers are entitled not only to adequate re wards but to the honor of a grate ful people. Ignorance Poverty Source. "Ignorance," the president declared,! "Is the most fruitful source of pov-, erty, vice and crime and it is easy to realize the necessity for removing what is a menace, not only to our social wellbeing, but to the very exist ence of the republic." In this connection he reminded the delegates there were S.000,000 native illiterates In this country as well as 14,000,000 foreign-born illiterate white persons. Many of the latter are above school age, he said, hut nevertheless he insisted they he given the oppor tunity to read and write the English language, "that they may come into more direct contact with the ideals and standards of our political and social life." Greater attention to rural schools also was urged by the president. Re call his attention at an "old one-room country school," he argued that these institutions must give way to the con solidated school "with a modern build ing and an adequate teaching force commensurate with the best advan tages that are provided for our urban population.” Handmaid of Citizenship. "It Is necessary,'• he added, "that education should be the handmaid of citizenship. Our Institutions are con stantly and. very properly the subject of critical Injury. Unless their na ture Is comprehended, unless their origin Is understood, unless their value be properly assessed, the citi zen falls ready prey to those agitators who would exploit his prejudices to promote their own advantage. "On this day, of all days, it ought to be made clear that America has had its revolution and placed the power of government squarely, se curely and entirely In the hands of the people. "For all changes which they may desire, for all grievances which they may suiter, the ballot box furnished a complete method and remedy. Into their hands had been committed com plete Jurisdiction and control over all the functions of government. For the most part, our institutions are at tacked In the name of social and eco nomic reform. Unless there be some teaching of sound economics In the schools the voter and taxpayer is in danger of accepting vague theories which lead only to social discontent and public disaster. "Every one ought to realize that the sole source of national wealth is thrift and Industry and that the sole supply of the public treasury is the toll of the people. Of course, pa triotism is always to be taught. Na tional defense Is a necessity and a virtue, but peace with honor Is the normal, natural condition of man kind and must be made the chief end to be sought in human relation ship. Character Vital Element. "Another element must be secured in the training of citizenship, or all else will be in vain. All of our learn ing and selenre. our culture and our arts will be of little avail, unless they are supported by high character, un less there be honor, truth and justice, unless our material resources are sup ported by moral and splritusl re sources there is no foundation for progress. A trained Intelligence ran do much, but there is no substitute for morality, character and religious convictions. Unless these abide American citizenship will be found unequal to Its task. "Our country Is In the process of development. We have not yet ar rived at perfection. A scientific In vestigation of child life has l>een he cun, but yet remains to bo finished There Is a vast amount of ignorance and misunderstanding, of envy, ha tred and jealousy, with their attend ant train of vice and crime.

S. Cele brates Fourth. rnlvenal Service Staff Correspondent. By CHARLES J. LEYDEN Chicago, July 4.—Grain markest in the-United States were closed today— Independence day—and attention of trade was centered in the foreign markets at Liverpool, and Winnipeg, especially the latter. Liverpool open ed 7-8 to 1 1-4 pence lower and finish ed 7 8 to 1 pence down. Winnipeg wheat eased at the start in sym pathy with the rabies, rallied well and then dropped irregularly to lower levels. At the last Winnipeg was off 7-8 to Xc. A big. broad trade was on In Can adian market, something unusual when the domestic exchanges are Idle. The local element In Winnipeg was bullish]}- inclined as well as the coun try in the pit, but prominent sell ing, credited to American interests, took the edge off the market finally, causing a break of 2o from the high point. There were 3*9.000 bushels of wheat delivered on contract. Weather conditions over the prairie provinces continued the dominating factor. There were scattered showers over Alberta and Saskatchewan with temperatures decidedly warm. The forecast was for scattered showers and thunderstorms over the provinces with fair conditions generally and slightly cooler in Saskatchewan. The precipitation received was not at all general and apparently relieved the droughty situation in Canada but little. PRESIDENT IS 52 ON JULY FOURTH Washington.
