CONFIRM JUDGE PARKER
The Senate has spent too much
time listening to impertinent objec
tions to the confirmation of Judge
John J. Parker, of North Carolina,
to be a Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. Class and racial pre
judices should have no weight in
such a case, nor should Bolshevist
demands. None of the three influ
ences have any place in this country
All are against the tenets of true
Americanism.
There is nothing against Judge
Parker's character or legal ability
He has the indorsement of many of
the best men in his state Demo
prats as well as Republicans. Ke
stands as a man high above any one
of those who have been trying to
bulldoze the Senate against his con
firmation. It is stated in his behalf
that in no judicial decision announc
ed by him has he gone against the
law or been influenced by personal
prejudice. That is the kind of man
who should be named to this high
place. He is needed to help maintain
for the Supreme Court the unpar
alleled position it holds, not only in
this country, but in all the world.
His nomination should be confirm
ed without further delay in listening
to the trivial opposition that forced
itself upon the Judiciary committee
and made of itself an offense to the
sane sentiment of the country. There
might be patience with opposition
based on bad morals and character
if any such could be marshaled
against the nominee. Such have not
been and cannot be brought forward
But class and racial animosities have
been, and it is a shame upon the
Judiciary Committee and explosive
Senators that they have been listened
to.
"When the time comes, if ever it
does, in this country when such mali
cious and evil influences are to af
fect the appointment of good men to
the bench of the Supreme Court, then
may we expect to see venal men sit
there. It is the plain duty of the
Senate to promptly confirm Judge
Parker, and thus give notice that it
cannot be swayed by such influences
Cincinnati Enquirer.
STABILIZING EMPLOYMENT
The movement to stabilize employ
ment is making progress. Gov. Roose
velt of New York took a practical
step to work out the problem by ap
pointing a committee charged with
devising a program to stabilize indus
try and provide steady work the year
around for employes.
The committee in its preliminary
report declares that progress has
been made and that the idea is work
able, because some of the largest cor
porations in the United States have
devoted much time and effort to lay
plans for stabilization, and have
proved that results can be achieved.
The committee reports that more
than 200 of the largest corporations
n the country have actually laid
plans to stabilize employment, and
that they realize that the success of
large scale production, quick turn
over and installment buying depend
upon Eteady employment for the indi
vidual.
The committee asks for another
year to tabulate the vast amount of
information and suggestions that is
coming into its possession, and says
hat it will continue conferences
with employers. The committee is
representative of organized labor, or
ganized industry, the State, banking
and general business, and is therefore
n touch with all the interests con
cerned in carrying out its purposes.
Definite recommendation have been
worked out and submit to Gov.
Roosevelt by the committee. Four
major points are emphasized.
In the first place, it declares that
Ihe slump bugaboo is not inevitable
but a problem to be faced and solved
like any other business problem, and
that the attention of business men
should be called directly to the ma-
or importance of daily planning and
action to prevent unemployment.
In the second place, it suggests the
co-operative efforts of citizens work
ing through local chambers of com
merce, trade unions and business as
sociations, to prevent unemployment.
It emphasizes what has already been
fully discussd, that state, city and
town governments pay more atten
tion to planning of constructive work
and purchasing in public activities.
so that important contracts may be
held in reserve in time of prosper
ity, to be pushed forward in periods
of depression.
It urges that special attention be
paid to the study of our state em
ployment office eystem, bo that its
scope may be enlarged and its effec
tiveness increased. It was the opin
ion of Senator Couzens' Senate com
mittee that public employment offices
be developed by the states instead
of by the Federal Government, and
that the Federal Government co-op
erate in co-ordinating the work of
the states.
The work of the New York com
mittee is encouraging. It proves con
clusively that industry is not the
helpless victim of business depression
and consequent unemployment, but
that through practical plans the ef
fects of slackening demand for prod
ucts may be largely overcome, and
that periods of long continued and
disastrous unemployment may be
averted.
Certainly this is a consummation
devoutly to be wished. It would be
of inestimable benefit not only to in
dustry, commerce and labor, but to
soviety in general. It would remove
the worst blot on our present indus
trial system and the most distress
ing conditions to men and women
able and willing to work. Its bene
fits and effects would be deep and
widespread.
The example of Gov. Roosevelt
should be followed by the Governors
of other states. All the states, in co
operation with the Federal Govern
ment, should diligently seek a solu
tion of the problem of unemploy
ment. No more pressing problem
confronts political, financial and in
dustrial leaders. St. Louis Post
Dispatch. :o:
SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED
It may be a trifle early to appraise
completely the work done at the
naval conference in London. Never
theless, it becomes evident that the
whole thing was well worth doing,
even though the high hopes enter
tained when it opened may not have
been altogether fulfilled.
As Secretary Stimson says, "the
habit of mutual agreement has re
ceived one more successful precedent.
The principle of limitation is
strengthened by its successful prac
tice." The treaty may not be all that we
had desired. Nevertheless, the con
ference was not held In vain. Com
petition in armaments received a real
check; and that, after all, was the
real purpose of the conference.

MILLIONS OF POUNDS
USED BY OUR GOVERNMENT
TOO MUCH FOR A CHURCH
R. B. Mellon, brother of "Uncle
Andy," proposes to build a $3,000,
000 church for a congregation in his
home city, Pittsburgh.
Why?
The lesser-known Mellon has nev
er been noted for Mb piety.
"While piling up millions he has
not been a conspicuous figure in re
ligious work.
Like his distinguished brother, the
lesser Mellon ia now going down the
sunset slope of life," and probably
wants to get rid of some of the money
he has accumulated.
Building a $3,000,000 church as a
memorial to himself is hardly the
proper way of "shaking of the shek
els." God is not glorified to any great
extent in imposing piles of architec
ture. You will more often find the
simple, sincere, child-like faith in a
little rural church, rude, unpainted.
with windows and doors all askew,
in charge of a poor, patient, plodding
person who has a hard time- keeping
the traditional wolf from the door.
Insofar as we know. Mr. Mellon'?
money is not tainted. It has been
honestly earned, as honesty is de
fined in these days.
But if he wants to give $3,000,
000 where it will readily serve a
wonderful purpose, he will not squan
der it in building an imposing edi
fice for a Pittsburgh congregation.
A far better way would be to do
nate the entire sum for the support
of superannuated clergymen, those
poor, frail, seedy, down-and-out ser
vants of Christianity who are no
longer useful in the pulpit, who were
sadly underpaid while in actual ser
vice, and who now deserve some
thing better than the pitiful doles
of a meagre-handed charity.
Three million dollars is a goodly
sum of money even in this era when
big men think in billions. It could
be used to accomplish a great and
ever-evident good.

REPUTATION IN BUSINESS
One of the oldest of stove manu
facturing concerns is going out of
business after successful operation
for eighty-three years. Its heaters
played an important part in the de
velopment should we say civiliza
tion? of the west and north.
Very, very few stoves are in use
any longer. The company kept up
with the times as well as it could.
When the demand for wood and coal
stoves decreased, it turned out gas
stoves. Sales reached the peak
twenty-five years ago, and have since
declined. The mode of living has
changed In city and country.
A woman out in a small town
wrote to the company that she heard
that it was going out of business.
"I was married," she wrote, "Dec. 11,
1895, and we bought a cooking stove
the next day. It was guaranteed for
fifteen years and I am still using it.
I want a new one, however."
She requested that her letter be
read to the board of directors, as it
might cause them to change their de
cision. . ;o:

BRITAIN AND GANDHI
The policy of the British govern
ment toward the Gandhi propaganda
of defiance is apparent at last. Lead
ers are being arrested and sentenced
to prison, and salt is taken away
from the mahatma's followers. But
the viceroy and his agents are letting
Gandhi alone, as they fear that any
disciplinary action toward him would
evoke pity with sympathy. Evident
ly, the government intends to release
the prisoners as soon as the excite
ment recedes.
It is obvious that Gandhi is an
idealist and propagandist, but not a
practical commander. His best is to
keep alive a spirit cf independence.
Kad the British government not ac
quired wisdom from English tyranny
in America. Gandhi's speech would
bring on fire, blood and death. India
can gain independence solely by
shrewdness equal to the British.
