FREEDOM PLEA IS SOUNDED BY ARTHUR HAYS Noted Attorney Rises to Defense of American Doctrines. Plea for 100 per cent traditional American freedom was made by Arthur Garfield Hays, director of the Civil Liberties Union, in addressing the open forum at Kirshbaum community center Sunday
night. Hays, an attorney of note, has devoted his life to defense of unpopula r causes and the rights of minorities guaranteed by the Constitution. "I have been termed a radical." he said, “but I do not believe in comm unism. I merely believe in the old-fashioned American doc-
trines of liberty, the right of free speech, free press and freedom of 1 assembly. “The rank conservatives are the people who are doing the most to destroy the basic American idea of democracy." Hays cited example upon example of violations of minority rights in famed cases in which he has appeared He appeared for the defense in the Sacco-Vanzetti case at Boston, in the Scopes trial in Tennessee, the American Mercury “Hatvack” suppression, and dozens of labor organization and strike cases 1 ihroughout the land. Cites Struggle Os the latter he cited, anion* ’others, the recent struggle at Gastonia where the city was described by the .speaker in this bit of verse: j “The golf links lfes upon a hill, Where almost every day The children working in the mill Can see the men at play." Describing the National Textile Union organization in Gastonia as being frankly communistic, Hays pointed out that the more conservative American Federation of Labor had neglected to go info that field to try to remedy deplorable working conditions through organization. “I prefer to see conservative leadership in these matters," the speaker asserted. “But the only organizers who seemed willing to undertake the task were the Reds." Quality Poorer Freedom of speech and assembly he termed a “fundamental right of democracy" and a safety valve which will serve to eliminate trouble and protect the American government far better than suppression. “We need people who are not afraid of freedom,” he declared “A' Associate Justice Brandeis has ‘We are getting so that we Would rather maintain order than protect rights and preserve liberty.’ ” Pouncing on prohibition. Hays asserted that it has put hypocrisy In the saddle. "Prohibition bears little relation to drinking.” he contended. “Liquor is as easily obtainable as ever, but the quality is poorer and the price higher.” . Commenting on the Scopes antievolution case, he continued: “There are two great crimes in the United States today. They are knowledge and pleasure.” Predicts Release In the questioning which followed the lecture, he predicted the release of Mooney and Billings from the California prison “within a few weeks.” Intelligence tests were urged as
TAKE SALTS IF RHEUMATISM IS BOTHERING YOU Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts to Get Rid of Toxic Acid. Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex. color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure. and. above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often .generated in the bow els and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine: the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work: they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this toxic acid, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. —Advertisement.

‘Let Baby Sleep in Ice/ Says Unpaid Landlord Bu VKA Service CHICAGO. Feb. 10.—You don't have to read columns of figures and statistics to understand what the financial plight of bankrupt Chicago really means ... to those whom it hits the hardest. Firemen, policemen, other city employes haven’t been paid in two months . . . neither have the destitute mothers who ordinarily derive a meager living from the city's pensions . . . they don't get the pension now’. Consider the case of Mrs. Anna Blaha, widow . . . three children, one a tiny baby . . . took just about
all the family savings to bury her husband, a chauffeur ... no prospect of getting any money . . . three months behind with the $9-a-month rent ... no food in the house . . . can't find a job . . . who’d care for the chtldren if she did? “I've got to move,” Mrs. Blaha explained. “The landlord broke the window’s because I couldn’t pay the rent and I couldn’t afford to move. I asked him: ‘What about my baby?' And he said: “What do I care about your baby? Let him sleep in the iee!’” Mrs. Biaha's home is a dark, three-room basement flat . . . opening on ad rty alley . . . electricity turned off, couldn’t pay the bill . . . gas, too . . . but, fortunately, the kitchen stove is a combination affair that can bum coal . . . and she has a bushel.

Mrs. Blaha isn't the only one . . . Chicago has lots of other widows like here who have received eviction notices . . . women who have just been able to eke out an existence for their children with the city pension . . . they don’t know much about financial statements and such things, these women . . . but Chicago is broke . . . and they know what that means.

In Boston, he asserted, suppression of Dreiser's “American Tragedy” was due to the anti-birth controllers. Closing, he urged a more tolerant attitude and to “persuade, but not compel.”

Children are more obedient in Indian than they are in America, and child delinquency problems rarely confront the Indian parent. This declaration was made Saturday by the Rev. E. L. Gunasekera of Ceylon, member of the India Christian Mission, who paid an informal visit to the Marion county juvenile court. He was accompanied by the Rev. Martyn Greet. British missionary from Ceylon. "American methods in dealing with children are extremely different from the Indian method,” Gunasekera declared. "The only thing we have that in any manner compares with a juvenile court is our rescue missions where boys and girls of bad parents are taken to be reared in a Christian atmosphere.” Gunasekera and his companion are making a survey of delinquency | courts in the middle west.

EX-GOVERNORS OF OKLAHOMA IN POLITICAL RACE Two Seek Posts in Senate; Third Is Aspirant for State Position. * BY FRANK O. HALL United Press Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla., Feb. 10. ; —Three former Oklahoma Governi ors who, in past years, have carried their party’s standard to victory, will enter the state’s political arena again in the 1930 primaries. Two will be senatorial candidates. One again will seek the Governor’s chair. All of Oklahoma’s former Governors are living. * Three Make Bid Lee Cruse, Ardmore oil man and banker; M. E. Trapp, Oklahoma City bond dealer, and Henry S. Johnston, self styled “small town lawyer” of Perry, are the three who again will bid for political honors this year. Cruce and Johnston will be senatorial candidates. Cruce’s announcement has not been made, but his candidacy is considered a certainty. Trapp, w’ho became Governor when Jack Walton was impeached, has entered the gubernatorial race again, using his record while Governor as his campaign platform. Observers do not know what Cruce's platform will be. Johnston Runs Johnston has said he would run for “vindication” and give Oklahomans an opportunity to indorse his governorship that aroused the ire of the legislature and culminated in the “ewe lamb rebellion” and his ultimate impeachment. Governor W. J. Holloway, incumbent. will enter law practice in Oklahoma City when his term expires. Although names of other former Oklahoma Governors do not blaze newspaper headlines today many still are prominent in politics. Charles N. Haskell, who became Governor after Oklahoma was admitted to statehood, is engaged in the oil business, dividing his time between Ft. Worth, Tex., and Muskogee, his home. Williams Judge Robert L. Williams now is federal judge for the eastern Oklahoma district, with headquarters in Muskogee. J. B. A. Robertson, the state’s fourth Governor, is engaged in law practice in the state capital city. Jack Walton, who held the helm of Oklahoma’s ship of state through one of the stormiest periods in state history and was relieved later of his duties through an impeachment trial, has been engaged in the oil business, spending much time in Ft. Worth, Tex. Trapp, successor to Walton, "has been in the bond business in Oklahoma City. Johnston resumed his law practice and Sunday sqhool teaching in Perry after his impeachment. ,

CHICAGO PLIGHT GROWING WORSE AS DEALS FAIL Finances of City Employes Desperate After Six Payless Weeks. BY MERTON T. AKERS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—The flour In \ the bin was a little lower and the l coal pile in the basement was a , little smaller in the average Chii cago employe’s home today, and I still there was no hope of getting pay for the last six weeks of service. Efforts to sell some $75,000,000 in tax anticipation warrants had failed here and in New York. Chicago’s promise to pay appeared to be poor collateral. Even if the deals go through, it appeared certain the city and the school board would have to sell at a substantial discount, adding to the mountain of debt that already amounts to some $300,000,000. Hope Maintained Silas H. Strawn, prominent attorney and head of the citizens’ “rescue committee,” was expected back in the city today, after a trip to Washington. The optimistic hoped he would have some magic way out of the desperate plight that has reduced more than 40,000 policemen, firemen, school teachers and other workers to a hand to mouth existence made possible by pawning valuables, and paying loan .shark interest on small amounts. Politics Blamed Strawn succeeded in getting $20,000,000 pledged by business men and capitalists to save the city from financial disintegration but his ultimatum to the governing bodies that they give assurance the sum would be spent solely for imperative salary and bill payments met with bickering. He and his committee refused to go ahead with the plan. The oft-repeated charge that politics has brought the city to its present predicament was voiced by William H. Malone, chairman of the state tax commission. He said: “Chicago is one of the richest municipalities in the world. But our local political system is bankrupt and won't be solvent until the voters clean house and stop pay roll padding and graft.” SUES FOR ODD INJURY Man Struck on Knee by Golf Ball Asks SIO,OOO Damages.

The why of a clear skin A clear, smooth, lovely skin speaks of rich, red blood within. It is Nature’s outward reflection of internal healthfulness. First impressions cannot be good without a clear skin —first impressions are quickly made and are not soon forgotten. Old friends may excuse pimples and secretly sympathize but new acquaintances may not be so charitable. Skin blemishes are not inviting. They cannot be covered up. They embarrass. Hold people back. Steal away joy and happiness. Men and women, both, justly covet admiration and all may expect such satisfaction to its fullest extent if they are the possessors of a clear, unblemished skin. If you are unfortunate in this respect you owe it to yourself and friends to remove the cause. Nature will then provide the complexion which is so much desired. More important still, strong healthy blood nourishes the body and fights against infection and disease.

YOUTHFULNESS and BEAUTY are dependent upon a strong body —- firm flesh . a dear skin> Loss of strength, flabby flesh and skin eruptions are but a few of the symptoms of a deeper and more dangerous trouble —a lack of the normal count of red-cells in the blood. NOTHING is more beautiful, more inspiring, more glorified than the supreme manifestation of Nature in the human body. Those sparkling eyes, that clear skin, that firm flesh, and that vigor of action denoting vitality, bespeak loveliness and internal healthfulness. And so, is it not our birthright to be masters over our own bodies? To be sure not much is said openly about personal handicaps—skin blemishes—sallow complexion ** 1 . 1 t .... A 1

POPPS ATTACK ON SOVIET ACTS STIRS BRITAIN Persecutor of Christians May Be Domestic Issue in England. Bu United Press LONDON, Feb. 10.—Pope PiUs scathing condemnation of the Soviet government for its attitude toward religion may find an echo in England, even to the extent of becoming a domestic political issue. The fact that the pope called the world's attention to the conditions faced by all churches, not solely those adhering to Rome, was considered as opening the way to British action. For weeks the Conservative party, furthermore, has been attempting to attract attention to the socalled "war on religion." and has criticised severely the labor government's policy of ignoring it in dealing with Moscow. During the last few months the conservative Morning Post has been organizing protest mass meetings throughout the British Isles, including an immense demonstration at Albert hall. It is also significant that Stanley Baldwin, former premier, told members of his party in his speech at the coliseum last week that “it is impossible to be blind to what is happening in Russia regarding the persecution of Christians. The indifference of our government, to me, is inexplicable.” In many quarters, it is held that the Conservative party has a powerful issue at its command in opposing the Laborite Russian policy. Delayed Move ROME, Feb. 10.—Pope Pius’ round denunciation of the Russian Soviet’s policy toward religion was determined upon many months ago, it was learned today, but was held up because tho Vatican had been informed of the possibility of a softening of Moscow r 's policy toward the church. The latest information in the Vatican’s hands, direct from Russia, characterizes the situation as “shocking.’*

—poor health—but secretly they influence many important affairs. Skilled physicians recognize the appearance of skin blemishes, lack of appetite, flabby flesh and loss of energy as an indication that the body’s power of resistance is low—that there is a deficiency of red-blood-cells. When you build back your red-cells to the correct number you will have followed Nature’s own way of regaining Health. Your skin should clear up and you should have the body strength to fight against disease and infection. You should get hungry again and sleep soundly. Firm flesh should take the place of that which was once flabby. You should feel strong; your nerves become steady. This is why so many thousands, seeking youthfulness and beauty, have taken a course of S. S. S. It helps Nature restore the blood to its normal state. Without plenty of rich, red-blood-cells there would be no strong, sturdy, powerful men or beautiful, healthy women.
