RECORHf Eighth District • The "Black" Committee The notorious Senate Lobby Investigating Committee is "orf-the loose" again. This Committee which was in the past more familiarly referred to as the "Black Committee" either because of the fact that it was formerly headed by former Senator, now Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black, or because ,bf its activities, wte iSiow not which is now contemplating another "inquisition." This time this notorious Senate group are "investigating" the activities of certain of our citizens, who, exercising their constitutional rights, have seen fit to oppose the Government Reorganization Bills which are now before the Senate. It appears that the Committee is intent on finding them guilty of "treason to the crown." This Committee, which is now headed by a Senator from Indiana by the name of Minton, apparently believes that no one should have a right to oppose an Administration measure no Matter how dangerous it may be. It is rumored however, that the" Committee will not investigate the government Lobby which has been doing yeoman service in persuading hesitant Senators to "go along" for the bill. Here in the Capital one hears rumors on all sides that certain Senators have been "advised" that they may lose1 WPA projects in their states if they don't support the bill and they'may possibly find themselves deprived of patronage if they aren't good boys. It is not anticipated that the Senator from Indiana and his Committee will investigate these things, however. We believe that the name "Black Committee" is a very appropriate one. -'New Judges The Senate Committee on the Judiciary has recently reported a bill which will provide for the appointment of twenty-one new Federal Judges throughout the country, including three in the District of Columbia courts. • , An Interesting Experiment The House recently passed a bill On page 7 or this issue of The Hai» dealer readers will find listed many bargains under the heading, "Econ omy Sale,"; This page contains listings from fifteen local merchants, who are co-operating in a movement to stimulate buying in McHenry.

Phone 129-J. 45 Forgiveness of injuries is given grace. It ia the most reluctant act that human nature ever performs." In the deepest condition of moral degradation there is no such thing as forgiveness of injuries thought about. So destitute is mankind of the spirit of forgiveness of injuries that heathen religions taught the right of revenging an injury, but not of forgivir* one. In of this, we say, the spirit of forgiving injuries is God-given., The Bible is the one book Wattles beginning to which from In mora formative periods of our country freedom encountered vary _____ little restriction. If a person deaired to erect a home, he purchased a lot and built the Jdnd of -a house ha wanted. There were no legal regulations as to the sixe, style, or design. The corner store in the small town was a sort of rendezvous for the friendly conversation of those who chanced to meet in leisure hours. Freedom of ispeech was not denied. Opinions on politics and religion were frankly expressed. The proprietor of the store could order what merchandise he desired. He could pay his Clerks the wages that were mutually agreed upon, and he could keep his store open as long as he liked. The person fortunate enough to own a horse and carriage would drive his horse at whatever speed he desired, he could go anywhere he liked and stop when he wanted to. In other words, in the early days, freedom meant no restrictions. A man was his own master and could do just as he pleased. Not 80, the freedom of today. It ia true that I may drive an automobile or not, just as I please; but I am not permitted to drive it faster than a given number of miles per hour. At the peril of my own and other lives, I dare not stop instantly in heavy traffic. Signals direct my coarse and signs determine my speed. The business man today may or may not place his business where he likes. He must conform to certain restrictions as to size, neighborhood, and kind of business. A gasoline station is not permitted on the boulevards in some of our cities. Business of today may employ men, but the unions Will have something to say about who is eligible for employment, and how many hours an employee may work, and what the minimum price shall be. Thus, freedom is more complicated in the complex life of our day than it was in the pioneer days. Our new evalu ation olt freedom calls for a group consciousness which was absent as a factor of decision in the days of our forefather^ Many of us must find our freedom in densely populated communities in which we are members of a group, whether we like it or not. The welfare of every one is vitally dependent upon the welfare of the community. The phrase "conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal" takes on a different emphasis today than when those lines were written. The proper appreciation of our new freedom is basic in the future development' of our democracy. Here is just where the spirit of democracy breaks down. We dare not do as we please regardless of the rights of others. No nation can live alone, nor alone bring in peace. Blind natibnalism and esoteric individualism kill the very spirit of liberty for which Washington fought and Lincoln died. The moment we surrender our new freedom in which the security of each is bound up in the security of others, we surrender the spirit of democracy and pave the way for dictatorship. Every generation must add to the significance of past struggles, if the future strength of democracy shall be kept secure. 6 Wtatern Ntw«pap«r Union. or ~ Says: w "*r A teaspoon of vinegar added to home-made syrup will keep it from candying after it stands. • • • To remove cocoa stains from linen tablecloths sprinkle stains with borax and soak in cold water. • • • Eggplant stuffed with savory stuffing moistened with tomato juice makes a good vegetable disk for dinner or luncheon. t , v V.p, r -jp§ V % ^ ' * : * ^ - Thursday, Karch 31,1938 A "Home Building and Modernisation Contest," sponsored by the Western United Gas and BSectric Company, offering $1,000 in prises waa announced this week by C.
